Golden Hind by Daniel Filipe - Occre - 1:85

[Daniel Filipe]

Good evening. Placed the pieces together to check any anomalies. Will have to sand on the stern to fit smoothly. Nothing to worry about.

 

[Daniel Filipe]

Well, did very little this week. I will start to plank these areas. 
Some weeks ago, i ordered some cannons just for curiosity. They are beautiful. I’m not sure if I’m going to use the small ones as the model suggests. (on the upper decks)

In real life, it would be impossible to reload them, etc.

The Model Shipyard golden hind doesn’t have the upper deck cannons.

Anyway, some pictures below

Good evening, today just sanded the B7 strips and placed the B13 in position. 
Not fully glued because i wanted to match the piece with the skeleton of the ship. Doing this, I have now some holes on the inside. I made everything according with the instructions.. But it’s fine, I will use my leftovers to close the holes.

Olá Daniel,

 

Go slowly but with quality 🙂

Sim 😄

Ainda não tapei os espaços que se vêm nas fotos. Estou quase lá.. vai devagarinho 👍🏻👍🏻

Good evening, I need your advise about this. So i’m planning to leave some hatches closed, the small F32 pieces are meant to be the hatches.

They have a very small gap inside the square. Is that ok?

 

[Daniel Filipe]

I was thinking, in that time, while doing the final planking of the model, I can control the size of the hatches with the wood strips. 🧐

This is how I made mine  (Post 459)

 

[Daniel Filipe]

Thanks 🙏🏻 

Today was trying to fit this in a possible way.

If this is glued strong enough 👍
Are you going to paint the inside  visible wooden parts black ?

[Daniel Filipe]

@Backer Yes, that’s the idea 👌🏻

First of all, I will close the holes on the deck and then I will proceed to the cannons. Very excited with this project. 

 

 

[Daniel Filipe]

Good evening, the project slowed down just a bit. It’s Christmas time, more time dedicated to the family and to the job. Things get busier 😅

Besides that, i’ve started learning how to play classic guitar. 
I don’t think one life time is enough to do everything we want 🧐

Happy holidays to everyone, be very careful with the newest COVID variant. 
Let’s see what is waiting for us in 2022 🤞🏻

Aren't you going to cover these "holes" with a waterway strip?

 

[Daniel Filipe]

@Dziadeczek

Yes, I will cover them 👍🏻👍🏻

[Daniel Filipe]

Good morning everyone, let’s start again! It’s time to cover the holes.

Last month received a very small package with something beautiful.

A small yawl for my Golden Hind, from Master Korabel.

[Daniel Filipe]

Almost done. More sanding for tomorrow..

[BobG]

Nice work, Daniel. This is going to be a very nice model.

[Daniel Filipe]

Ok, next step is:

placing the gun carriages and the cannons with a black ‘background’. One is already in place.

Hi Daniel

Your model is taking shape and looking quite nice!   

 

Are the cannon from the kit?  The reason I ask is that they look like a cross breed of the Armstrong and Blomefield guns from the 18th century rather than the bronze cannon from 200 years earlier.   Looking at the OcCre kit of the HMS Diana 1794, it appears they use the same hybrid cannon in that kit.

[Daniel Filipe]

Thanks Allan 👍🏻👍🏻
Regarding the cannons, I got them after starting the model. If they match the time period? maybe not, I’m no expert in this area and just wanted something more real than the ones that comes with the kit 😅

The website didn’t have much more options for the cannons. 
And yes, the Diana is a beautiful model!

 

Best Regards, 

Daniel 😄

[Daniel Filipe]

This is the idea, I will wait to start planking and then I can place the cannons.

I have 4 small cannons that I’m not going to use and will test the burnishing liquid in one of them to verify the result.

If I don’t like it, matte black and diluted gun metal will be the solution..

@Baker amazing information on the website, i must check it with a closer look.

Used metal burnishing from AK Interactive for this and the result is this:

Paying attention to this detail because in my previous model, this was a disaster 😅

[Baker]

Just an idea
I would fill the bow with filler blocks first. That will work much easier for planking

[Daniel Filipe]

@Baker

Currently at the moment, I’m watching some tutorials on YouTube on how to plank properly. (The information I’ve found here on this forum was not so easy for me to understand).

It’s time to improve something.

It was not difficult to glue the plank on the bow. Thanks anyways 🙏🏻
Let’s continue.

When i started planking first layer i did steam bend with my kettle. 😁 and then nailed them to the wooden board with proper shape...time consuming cuz they have to dry ...
