Robp1025 Posted February 13, 2022 Author Share #31 Posted February 13, 2022 Alright and now both sides are ready for some paint after they dry up from the water wash. Looks beat up because of the sanding but I'm trusting the process lol. For sure feeling a lot better about the whole process so far. One thing I have noticed is that I am missing one frame for the cannons. So I'm going to make two for the back so they look symmetrical and just live with it. I did counts before so it's on me because I had 52 at the start of the cannon project.

Robp1025 Posted February 19, 2022 Author Share #32 Posted February 19, 2022 So one side complete beside a matte coat and some touch up on n the black, but I feel like I got what I was going for. One more side to do then it's off to the races with working on the intricate poop deck and captains quarters and all.

Wintergreen Posted February 19, 2022 Share #33 Posted February 19, 2022 Nice paint job. Those closeups always a bit intimidating.

Robp1025 Posted February 19, 2022 Author Share #34 Posted February 19, 2022 I wish I was more confident because I feel like it should be so much better. But I know it takes time and practice to get better. allanyed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robp1025 Posted February 26, 2022 Author Share #35 Posted February 26, 2022 So it's been a rather interesting couple of weeks. But I now have two sides painted and gunports installed!! Just doing a final coat on the one side get the off color parts to match and then also made myself my new padded ship holder so the boat will no longer rock and move when I don't want it to. also my parents surprised me with a kit for my birthday which will probably be taken and put on my desk at work once built!! I work for vanguard so the ship theme actually works lol. Wintergreen, Baker, Ian_Grant and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wintergreen Posted February 26, 2022 Share #36 Posted February 26, 2022 Always a good idea to have the hull secured in some kind of cradle or stand. Your padded version will aid when you tilt the hull to get a more convenient position for detailing. Good work, keep it up! Jeff T, Robp1025, Baker and 1 other 4 Quote Happy modelling!

Yea I'm doing the touch ups around the gunports and I can't imagine life without it any more lol. I'm not gonna lie, I'm nervous to start working on the back portion of the ship because it's where almost all the detail is. I feel more confident though as I work on it.

Wintergreen Posted February 27, 2022 Share #38 Posted February 27, 2022 Yes, the stern and the galleries are quite intimidating to say the least. But, look through the various bits and pieces and make a step by step plan. I'd say that part of the ornamentation can be attached after rigging is done. Like all the figurines on the side galleries. They will for sure be up to the task of being regular pita:s. Catching a stray sleeve or a stray line or so and then launch themselves into the abyss never to be found again 😉 Just take it a step at a time. Keith Black and Robp1025 1 1 Quote Happy modelling!

Robp1025 Posted March 6, 2022 Author Share #39 Posted March 6, 2022 Life has been crazy but finally got some work on my friend here. Also wasted some good time on shaping the first of the gallery to only need to reshape it once I fully put the whole gallery piece together. Also making sure it's 90 degrees to the hull was interesting. Had to pull off the lower gallery twice because of the fact that the gallery shifted as I worked on other parts.

Robp1025 Posted March 13, 2022 Author Share #42 Posted March 13, 2022 So I have been thinking for some time on some what I wanted to do with the deck and the grating and all. I decided that I am going replace the grating because it dips down instead of being flush at the top and I need to do staining and all. So today I ordered the grates and did deconstruction time which make me nervous. Also had to fix some of the railings so it was repair day too. Also did some drew up my planking and treenail marks. I would have done it with tooth picks and all but with the sides on i wouldn't be able to get into the corners so I decided micron is the way to go for this. I will be staining with dark walnut and using pre stain so it's even. I want to do all this before I put the grates on so I can have a even cover.

Robp1025 Posted March 20, 2022 Author Share #43 Posted March 20, 2022 So got some more work done on my friend here. It is staining and painting day. First I decided to pre stain and use and oil based dark walnut stain which turn out a lot better than I expected then I decided to try and take the top part of the hull that will be cadmium red. So I just thought he I'll just paint it on and it will work. Well three coats later and I didn't like it so off to the races with gesso then sanding with files to get better looking studs holding the bottom part of the banister and getting gesso on the parts that I need to make red that were painted blue from the previous owner. today was a very solid day so now the get the other side up to snuff then back to the hand made galleries while I wait for my grates to come in.

Robp1025 Posted March 26, 2022 Author Share #44 Posted March 26, 2022 So honest question for everyone. I know I am very very new to this so I want to know scale what size belay bins and deadeyes should I be using so I can order them Keith Black 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Black Posted March 26, 2022 Share #45 Posted March 26, 2022 Rob, 1:75 scale is 0.1875 inches = 12 inches. Belay pins for your ship should be 0.28 inches, 18 inches at full scale and the deadeyes should be 0.20 inches, 15 inches at full scale. I'd like someone to double check me on that.

Stupid question but what's the formula to find the .1875 at 1/75 scale.....

Keith Black Posted March 26, 2022 Share #48 Posted March 26, 2022 Rob, Mr Google has all the answers. Search 1:75 scale, Google reply, 3/16 inch = 1 foot. Search 3/16 inch, Google reply, 0.1875 inch. Belay pins were 18 inches tip to tip and deadeyes were 12 to 15 inches diameter. Those sizes can be found in discussions by using the MSW search engine.

Did some work on the planking and just trying to do everything right and to the best that I can. Stacked planking was not too hard and now I'm going to be working on painting then tackling more of the gallies Baker, scrubbyj427, Wintergreen and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robp1025 Posted April 10, 2022 Author Share #55 Posted April 10, 2022 So now that I completed this stage I started doing some painting and it was going pretty well I think. But then I said to myself that something is missing. So I decided before I keep going on painting that I would get the galleries on and going because I will mess up all the wonderful painting while I work on these galleries. So here is where we are. chris watton, GrandpaPhil, Wintergreen and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophiedog Posted December 21, 2022 Share #56 Posted December 21, 2022 Hi sir, My name is Lorraine Ennis and I’m the lady who had made the hull of the Wasa that you are working on. The gentleman who I gave it to for completion had emailed me some time ago and gave me the link so I could watch you finish my ship. I have really enjoyed watching what you are doing. I had developed too many hand problems to be able to finish her. I’ve noticed that you haven’t posted any pictures since April. Are you still working on her? If so, I’d love to see how she is coming along. Thank you. BLACK VIKING, mtaylor and Baker 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Black Posted December 21, 2022 Share #57 Posted December 21, 2022 Lorraine, welcome to MSW. You did such a grand job on the Wasa hull it's a shame you couldn't finish her. Rob has been away awhile, hopefully he returns to once again work toward completing the model you started. mtaylor 1 Quote Current Builds: Wood Hull Screw Frigate USS Tennessee Decorative Carrack Warship Restoration, the Amelia Completed: Early Swift 1805 Model Restoration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robp1025 Posted December 23, 2022 Author Share #58 Posted December 23, 2022 Hello everyone I am sorry that I have not been on here in quite some time but I had some life situations happen that created some difficulties with working on the ships in general. I am doing some slow slow work on her but the issue I am having at the moment is the bow section has broken to a point that I need to fashion a from scratch piece. I have been working on changing the blue color that was originally put on to the red which is now known to be the correct color of the ship. My hope is to get some more standard work on her on the weekends after the new year as everything should be evening out by then. @Sophiedog I do appreciate all the work you have done and have given me such a beautiful base to work off. If you have any tips and tricks that you could share i would love to hear as i am only a couple years into the hobby and one completed ship.

Robp1025 Posted December 24, 2022 Author Share #59 Posted December 24, 2022 So I did some figuring of how I am gonna handle the gallery. The Billings kit comes with a half section diagram so I used the measurements to get a good idea of which cuts and I'll do some shaping to get them fit over the weekend Keith Black 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baker Posted December 24, 2022 Share #60 Posted December 24, 2022 I remember from my Vasa build these were not so easy to shape them properly. fitting a lot and not cutting away too much at once is the best way.
