dvm27 Posted March 20, 2022 Share #152 Posted March 20, 2022 You should place a small piece of paper with your name and ship essentials so some future historian can "discover it" in 100 years. A couple of these have been found in contemporary Navy Board models and are of great historical significance. druxey, bruce d, tlevine and 4 others 7 Quote GregwebsiteAdmiralty Modelsmoderator Echo Cross-section buildAdmiralty Models Cross-section BuildFinished buildPegasus, 1776, cross-sectionCurrent buildSpeedwell, 1752 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allanyed Posted April 12, 2022 Share #167 Posted April 12, 2022 I have noticed more and more uses of two different species or the same species but from different billets to give a contrast when next to its adjacent piece. One example of this is in the construction of the partners. This really shows of your very fine workmanship and I plan to use this on occasion in the future.

I'm happy that I can be an inspiration for your work. Luckily I found two supplies of pear wood with different shades, so I can play with the contrast between colours, highlighting neighbouring pieces!

bdgiantman2 Posted April 21, 2022 Share #176 Posted April 21, 2022 Great model progress and very high quality skills as usual. I am assuming that this room that you showed us today is going to be the pump room. What advise would you suggest for someone like me new to using chisels for modeling?? Thank you so much.

giampieroricci Posted April 21, 2022 Author Share #177 Posted April 21, 2022 This is the sail locker, not the pump room. I don't have a lot of experience with chisels, but lately I've been learning to use them and I must say that the feeling is very good, so much so that I prefer to do some work with these hand tools rather than with the milling machine. The very important thing is to keep the chisels perfectly sharp at all times. and this can be achieved in a variety of ways, some of which are well explained in tutorials on you tube. In addition, chisels must be of high quality, so it is better to invest a little more money in better tools than to make do with poorer tools that will soon lose their sharpness and ruin our work. The kit of mini chisels of Russian origin that I bought a few years ago and that you see in the photos is really excellent and helps me a lot in the small joints that you can see in the construction of the decks.

Actually Brian I believe this is to be the sail room. The ventilation louvers would facilitate air circulation and help dry out stowed sails. bdgiantman2, giampieroricci, druxey and 1 other 4 Quote GregwebsiteAdmiralty Modelsmoderator Echo Cross-section buildAdmiralty Models Cross-section BuildFinished buildPegasus, 1776, cross-sectionCurrent buildSpeedwell, 1752 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
