mobbsie Posted July 15, 2013 Author #455 Posted July 15, 2013 (edited) Hi Guys, Thanks for the warm welcome back, Hols were just what was ordered even the sheep wrangling, if that what you call waving your arms about like a demented thing from another planet, had fun though. Head rails are completed apart from the finer points, I still have the catch netting to put on and thunderheads plus a few other bits. Upper deck is glued in place but I still have the planking to do as well as the bulwarks. I have done the Poop deck screen bulkhead and dry fitted it, I have left the pillars unpainted and just put some tung oil onto the wood, I would be interested to know what you think about the pillars, they should be painted I know, but good or bad please let me know what you think. Same goes for the balcony bulkhead, the pillars are on but not painted. Here are a few pics, not many and the quality is not brilliant. Catch net will be placed around the port and starboard wires Poop deck bulkhead with unpainted pillars Balcony bulkhead with the pillars fitted but unpainted So, as I said not too many pics but I hope you enjoy them. mobbsie Edited March 23, 2014 by mobbsie Anja, realworkingsailor, Barbossa and 7 others 10 mobbsie All mistakes are deliberate ( me ) Current Build:- HMS Schooner Pickle Completed Builds :- Panart 1/16 Armed Launch / Pinnace ( Completed ), Granado Cross Section 1/48 Harwich Bawley, Restoration, Thames Barge Edme, Repair / Restoration, Will Everard 1/67 Billings HMS Agamemnon 1781 - 1/64 Caldercraft Kit, HM Brig Badger, HM Bomb Vessel Granado, Thames Steam Launch Louise, Thames Barge Edme, Viking Dragon Boat Next Build :-

Patrick Haw Posted July 15, 2013 #459 Posted July 15, 2013 Hi Mobbsie, She's looking fantastic! The brass etched pillars are supposed to be painted, as you say, and I kind of like them painted from an accuracy standpoint; however, given the other wonderful personalized touches you've given to the ship, leaving them unpainted could have quite a dramatic effect. You're the captain, it's your ship! Cheers Patrick mobbsie 1 Previous build HMS Victory by Patrick Haw - Caldercraft - Scale: 1/72 Current build HMS Enterprise by Patrick Haw - CAF - Scale 1:48

mobbsie Posted July 15, 2013 Author #461 Posted July 15, 2013 Hi Andy, The pillars are etched mate, the colour scheme for them should be yellow ochre top and bottom with black in between, but the whole bulkhead should be black background with yellow highlights.

PMG Posted July 15, 2013 #464 Posted July 15, 2013 Hi Mobbsie, Leaving the rtched pillars unpainted gives a very good impression. Even more if you lleave the wooden panels unpainted too. Despitely, my pellars are already painted even if I don't foresee to reacg your point of advancement before one or two years... Fantastic progress again.

Beef Wellington Posted July 15, 2013 #465 Posted July 15, 2013 I like the look of the wood as well Mobbsie, have you thought about painting the photetch parts in the same/similar colour to the wood? That could be an interesting effect. Looking very nice in any event. Cheers, Jason "Which it will be ready when it is ready!"

My thoughts are that it would be boring but historicly correct. mobbsie I like the treatment you gave the bulkheads, no need for paint there at all... I would, however, paint the pillars... One thing you may want to try is to start off with a yellow ochre base and then use various acrylic washes to get them to look like the same colour as the bulkhead. Either that or just leave them yellow ochre for contrast. Your choice. Andy popeye the sailor and mobbsie 2 Quando Omni Flunkus, Moritati Current Build: USF Confederacy

gjdale Posted July 16, 2013 #470 Posted July 16, 2013 Hi Mobbsie, Looks great mate! I'm also of the "you're the Captain" school, though advice regarding input from the admiral is wise! I also agree that this is an opportunity for you to differentiate your model from others, in much the same way as you have done with the cannons.

mobbsie Posted July 24, 2013 Author #478 Posted July 24, 2013 (edited) Just a quick update but no pics yet, sorry Sjors. Colour scheme for the pillars has been decided and applied, it is different and the Admiral approves, all will be revealed later.d Bow catch net has been fitted ( thanks to Grant ). Started the deck planking on the upper deck, just half the fore deck left and that will be completed tomorrow, one error which is noticeable but not life threatening is the butt joints, I intended to do a 3 butt joint but without realising it ended up doing a 2 butt joint. I realised too late to change it and the damage to the deck would be too much. It just makes the deck look a bit busier. Next step is to fit the bulwark planking, fit around the gunports, sand and paint red ochre, then fix the upper guns, ships wheel, bell tower, gratings an riding bits, so a little to do. Enough to keep me busy for a short while but I promise I will post some pics very soon.
