wernerweiss Posted February 1, 2022 Share #1 Posted February 1, 2022 Hello modelers, as already mentioned in the Confederacy build log of Walrusguy (here page 7), this is not a build log but a series of pictures of my model showing the progress of the build..... As I have now been building for a few years, I begin with the latest pictures and upload the rest time by time..... I look forward to your questions and comments.

WalrusGuy Posted February 1, 2022 Share #2 Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) Hi Werner, thank you for posting the photos here. I have been actively checking the German forum to see if you have posted updates. The 12 pounder guns look really good. Did you use the kit supplied guns? And did you make the rope yourself? The furniture in the great cabin look amazing. Beautiful build!

wernerweiss Posted February 1, 2022 Author Share #3 Posted February 1, 2022 Hello Walrusguy, thank you very much again.... The 12pdr (and the 6pdr) guns are not from the kit but from syrenshipmodelcompany.com, they also sell miniature rope. I bought mine on www.takelgarne.de WalrusGuy and Obormotov 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wernerweiss Posted February 1, 2022 Author Share #4 Posted February 1, 2022 Hello Walrusguy, now I need your help.......trying to upload more pictures always ends with "upload failure"........do you have an idea why? Obormotov 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalrusGuy Posted February 1, 2022 Share #5 Posted February 1, 2022 I think that's a bug on the platform MSW is on. See this thread: When I get the error I use the "Snipping Tool" and paste the snapshot. That seems to work for me.

WalrusGuy Posted February 2, 2022 Share #11 Posted February 2, 2022 Very crisp work and craftsmanship! I realized the gun port lids have functioning hinges. Amazing!

wernerweiss Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share #12 Posted February 2, 2022 Thank you! When I was looking for functioning hinges I discovered a modeling manufacturer in Switzerland, sse the link below https://www.mbapiro.ch/produkte_detail.php?grp_id=1&content_id=12&produkt_id=162 Regrettably the item is actually not available, and it is not very cheap.

wernerweiss Posted February 6, 2022 Author Share #16 Posted February 6, 2022 Hello Thedosius, thank you very much! I got the idea for the miniatur-furniture when I saw corresponding pictures of another modelbuilder....I thought it might look fine in my model and searched the net; what I found you can see in the links below https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/8f92d42bca234b7c470412e9b69c8933/Secretary-desk-small https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:13391 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:15479 A friend of my eldest son had a 3d-printer which could make this furniture in 1:60 scale, which is not far from 1:64, so I was happy when he had them ready for painting....

wernerweiss Posted March 31, 2022 Author Share #17 Posted March 31, 2022 Hello modelers, some impressions from the "dockyard" as handy-snapshots about four weeks old. Meanwhile all deck beams and knees of the quarter deck are glued, and in the moment I´m planking the bulwarks of the quarter deck.

WalrusGuy Posted April 7, 2022 Share #19 Posted April 7, 2022 Gorgeous work, Werner. The details and the decking are very crisp and tidy.

wernerweiss Posted July 24, 2022 Author Share #20 Posted July 24, 2022 (edited) Hello modelers, in the past weeks I have been busy with building, but not before today I took the latest pictures which I would like to show. The planking of the quarterdeck is finished, and the quarterdeck fittings like the speaking tube, the steering wheel, the binnacles, the coamings etc. are in progress. There is still a lot of work to do.....

Hello Harshil, thank you very much - no, I do not plan to rig her. Regarding rigging a ship of this type and real size I´m a bloody beginner, and I like the admiralty style.
