HMS Beagle by Goemon - OcCre - 1:60 Scale

[goemon]

Two months ago, I started making OccCre HMS Beagle.

The Beagle is a famous ship used for exploration by Darwin, who discovered the theory of evolution.

The kit is a production manual only, no drawings
A detailed production video from the manufacturer is available on YouTuber.
The material of the kit is rough in a nutshell, but the laser cut is accurate.

 

As for the deck, I felt that the 60mm designation was too short, so I put up a 120mm long board.

The sides of the board are painted black with a 6B pencil.

 

I cut a 23g needle and attached a stamp with a nail mark.

 

The inside of the blue work has been changed to Sapelli.

There is no camber on the deck and it is flat, but it is difficult to change, so I will make it as it is.

The door was made of wood.

 

I bent it after getting it wet, but it broke.

 

Falcata filler has been added to the bulkhead to make it easier to fix the wood with a thumbtack.

 

The first outer panel has been pasted.
I glued the keel before sticking the second tree.

 

For the overlay, I pasted one gun gate and then two 2x5mm boards.

I painted the wales black, stuck one Sapelli underneath, and then stuck it upwards from the bottom of the ship.

 

 

 

The sheer rail 2x2mm was a little too thick.

 

I painted it with natural milk paint.

The white paint on the gun gate has been changed so that the lower part is about 5mm above the specified position.

the Beagle is one of projects in my mind to the future.
The history of this awasome ship is fantastic. Really amazing.

Your work is fantastic, I follow this thread and your advances with attentioin, thanks for sharing

[Cathead]

Good work so far!

[uncarina]

Very impressive introduction! I really am enjoying your work. Will you be adding copper plating to the hull?

 

Cheers,  Tom

[Kevin]

Following! There's a lot of these builds ongoing, but since I'm just about sure I'll be building one of these in the future I'm following every one of them. You have gotten of to a great start. 👌

I don't really like the copper plate on the bottom of the ship.

If I were to scratch build, I would stick a copper plate, but I didn't intend to stick this kit from the beginning.

This is an image of the current Beagle.

I also put Sapelli material on the keel part.

 

The hinge part of the gun gate metal fittings is not reproduced.

The bottom of the ship is coated with flaxseed oil, which is easier to use than varnish.

 

The handrail has been cut from 7mm width to 5-6mm width.

 

The diamond-shaped hollow of the part where the hammock is inserted cannot be reproduced.

 

Since there is an exhibition, we need to complete HMS FLY by the end of June, so we may not be able to make Beagle for a while.

I’m very impressed with your work so far!

 

Cheers,  Tom

I also paused a little.
