newbuilder101 Posted August 17, 2013 #543 Posted August 17, 2013 Those nettings are wonderful! Are you going to display the hammocks stowed...or at least some of them? I'm also curious to see what you come up with for the stern. mobbsie 1 Sherry Every goodbye is the birth of a memory...

rdsaplala Posted August 20, 2013 #552 Posted August 20, 2013 Amazing details and paint-work, Mobbsie, that sure is a lot of eye candy Just a small question, my friend: Could you give some tips on how you approached building the quarter galleries? I still have a long way to go before making them on my Triton, but I am already having some cold sweats trying to figure out how I would approach these complicated structures mobbsie 1 Best regards,AldoCurrently Building: HMS Pegasus (Victory Models)-Mothballed to give priority to Triton HMS Triton (first attempt at scratchbuilding) Past build:HM Brig Badger (Caldercraft), HM Brig Cruizer, HM Schooner Ballahoo

mobbsie Posted August 21, 2013 Author #565 Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) Hi Guys, Thank you all so very much for looking in and your kind comments and remarks. Aldo, I'll do my best mate, I will send you a PM. Sherry / Mark - I don't plan on making any hammocks at the moment, I have no idea as to size although the shape wouldn't be a problem. John, Dan, Augie, Sjors, Andy thanks guys for your good words. Pierre, Jim, Patrick, Anja, thank you very much guys I have to give a big thank you to Grant for sending me the material so that I could make the nettings, I can get something like it but it's the wrong pattern. Be seeing you very soon mate. Patrick - I have Sjors next build at home so the Meercats will be spiking his guns, cant have a wayward sailer on the ocean. OK, The Transom, all that is left to do is the lanterns and two gun port lids, I will post a few pics as she stands now but please be aware that it is still work in progress. The quarter galleries are also finished apart from a paint touch-up. The figure head is dry fitted and I quite like him so wont be changing anything there apart from fitting his spear a little later, it's a very soft metal. I didn't want the stern to look bland or blousy so I would appreciate any and all comments whether they be good or bad. OK, some pictures, some have been taken outside just to try it, ( scary taking the ship down the stairs ). Original Colour scheme My colour scheme. It does look twisted but that's only my photography Stern and starboard quarter gallery Natural Light Figure Head Port quarter view So there we have the latest batch guys, I hope you like them but shoot from the hip, I can take it. mobbsie Edited August 21, 2013 by mobbsie Adrieke, hamilton, Anja and 6 others 9 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 :-
gjdale Posted August 21, 2013 #566 Posted August 21, 2013 Wow Mobbsie! I've no idea about accuracy, but I love what you've done with the decorations. The splash of colour really adds life to the model. I'll look forward to a closer personal inspection in a couple of weeks time. mobbsie 1 Grant ____________________________________________________ Current builds: African Queen - Radio Control / Live Steam Previous builds: The Shipyard at Foss' Landing (Diorama), Hannah - Ship in a Bottle, NRG Capstan Project, 1869 Allerton Steam Pumper, Medway Longboat , Alfa Romeo Spider Gran Touring (Pocher) , Da Vinci Flying Machine, 1949 Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout - Dumas - Radio, Bomb Vessel Granado, 1742 - Cross Section - Scratchbuild, HMS Victory (Mamoli 1:90), Cutty Sark, Armed Pinnace, Bounty, Santa Maria At another place: Stephenson's Rocket (OcCre 1:24) (click the title to follow the link) In the Gallery: Lancia Armata 1803, Bomb Vessel Granada, 1742 Cross Section, 1949 Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout
