Revenge 1577 by westwood - Amati - 1:64 - partial scratch-build


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,
I am a forum member for many years,
but only now I decided to show what I'm working on.
For my return to modelling after 20 years I chose the Revenge 1:64 by Amati/Victory.
So far I plan to build only the hull without rigging.
I've liked galleons since childhood and anyway, I've been following Chris Watton's prototype build since the beginning and I couldn't resist.
But  inspired by the awesome models here, I would like to improve the model a bit to get skills for other models.
So keep your fingers crossed please.

I'll add photos gradually, because I started in January 2020

Thanks guys.
Galeona has many decks, so plenty area to practice 🙂
On the gun deck I tried a different technique for treenails.
On the decks I am happy with it. I used brown PVA glue...

The finish is wax...

Thanks Tim and for the likes as well.

continued:
I had to adjust the bulkheads and make some new deck beams.

I tried to simulate not only the bending of the deck planks but also the decks beams.

And Stern Bulkhead modification...

I gently modified the gun carriage from the kit.
These won't be seen eventually. The others I will make completely my own.

Dusan,

Lovely build overall, and I admire you bashing to get things even better than what the kit provides!  The upper decks' gratings are extremely well done,  with the battens running fore and aft rather than athwartships.

PLEASE take 30 SECONDS and sign up for the epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series.   Click on http://trafalgar.tv   There is no cost other than the 30 seconds of your time.  THANK YOU

Thank you Allan and also for the likes guys, I appreciate it.
Originally I didn't even think I was going to modify so many pieces...

 

Now there will be a break from the decks for a while.
Next is the hull stiffening and installation of the side patterns.

Thank you Patrick, your Pelican is an inspiration for me.

Next, I decided to make new gun ports.
It was even more difficult because they are not square.

Thank you for the comments and for the likes guys.
The next step was planning the planking and making the wales.
It was quite challenging.

COMPLIMENTS on your planking and  your gratings.  It has been a while since I have seen a kit build log with such well done and properly laid  planking and yours is exceptional.  Am I correct that you made your own gratings or are they from the kit?  Amati gratings have never looked remotely close to what a grating should be, so I was hoping they changed and got it right.

Beautiful work Dusan!!!

planking under the main wales is completed...

It's not quite perfect, but I don't want to use putty and I think an oil or wax finish will make it even better
