Buccaneer by Baltic_submariner - OcCre - 1:100


Recommended Posts

I bought this ship few months ago as always wanted to have classic galleon. Again after vacational San Juan wanted something not big but impressive.

 

Again I wanted to custimize my ship as it's just generic galleon with Black Flag attached so I decided to made some modifications to give a bit of individuality:

- made gunports for chase guns on stern transom,

- made visible partial interior of rear superstructure room with 2 guns, gratings and ammo stashes,

- made bow pursuit guns,

- exchange full gallery balustrade into baluster based balustrade,

- change of ornamentations and I have big desire to print resized mini painting printed in color on upper stern transom. Here I probably use widely known art from book of Howard Pyle. Also ornaments printed on laser printer do not convince me in any way. In Spanish Galleons by Angus Konstam I saw few colorful examples which are inspiration. I await for his two books Buccaneers and Pirate Ships.

- change of position of few guns in rear superstructure.

I've managed to work more on hull and tapered masts.

Metal gunports mounted. Upper parts of forecastle and aftcastle were planked in cherry as I very like it's colour, some bottom is planked with sapelli mixed with pear wood although after sanding and varnishing it's hard to see a difference.966347838_20210821_182510kopia.thumb.jpg.fbcd23a7bf9bce1454ef4e0a058a0dad.jpg20210821_182913.thumb.jpg.29fa264b2b7f2172c03ddb2db9d48d85.jpg

 

I've mounted chase guns. On stern I made tree pattern with alternately glued sapelli and pear. Here is a little bit better visible. I know that aftcastle rear has some errors although this will be covered in 90% by other details and ornaments.

I've decided to made some changes on prow area as fully planked deck looked a little bit bland for me.

Great work.

This model looks like a Golden Hind kit. Correct??

Thank you for appreciation!

 

This kit is I think is based on Golden Hind kit with few different parts beyond them. Their rigging looks the same as with name of parts on frames and sails. Also I think Buccaneer is easier due to lack of guns on lower deck and less complicated ornaments. However it's great model and kit it's very pleasurable. 

 

 

 

In the meantime I worked with my Buccaneer.

Masts and dinghy mounted, balustrade has been exchanged. I decided to mount rear gallery ornaments on ship hull. I painted them all in red and then after paint dried I carefully sanded convex part to reveal "gold" of brass.

PE staircases I exchanged into made from cherry wood.

 

As this is pirate ship so she must have a treasure? This time locker is on board of dinghy. Maybe will be launched soon near lone island? Who knows? 😉

I try to photograph interior scratch build by me but little is visible. I decided to mount few ammo stashes on deck. I must fill them with wood and cannon balls on top ( as I didn't want to use so many cannon balls on them )

After some time of work I managed to finish my galeon. As I said I exchanged some parts. On forecastle I placed scratchbuild two small cannons but after placing them I realised such guns are practicaly invisible. Canonballs are stashed so my Bucaneer is ready to sortie! 😀

 

I exchanged some circular deadeyes for older model of triangle deadeyes to simulate years of service and various repairs made to the ship.

I realised that I very like ships with Black Flag so decided that next kit will be from similar "owners" but from different times and from different part of the world. Chinese Pirate Junk from Amati. It's even in same scale so it could be nice to compare them.
