GeorgeKapas Posted October 28, 2022 Author #63 Posted October 28, 2022 Thank you all!!! Oh well, Karteria is well underway, but unfortunatelly rather stalled due to the lack of details of the Brent plans.... We'll see how it goes...The water is made by by applying tissue paper and woodglue into a few layers, and then form the waves with a brush. I found something similar done online and developed a method of my own based on that, to me it seems quite bizzare that not many do it like that.. anyway. The deck is simply a patern I drew on MS paint and printed it in black and white, then painted it with acrylics and sealed it with enamel clear coat. Nowdays I make another small model of the "La Couronne" (1636) mostly for my own pleasure, testing some new methods and materials, but in the general philisophy of these builts. I'll make a thread soon enough!

archjofo Posted October 31, 2022 #64 Posted October 31, 2022 It's hard to believe that this is 1:350 scale. To produce these tiny details so cleanly and accurately is worthy of special recognition.

I'll elaborate next on how I made it What a beauty George! Not only are the details stunning and the overall proportion of a three decker is perfectly portrayed, also the spirit of a sailing warship in Mediterranean waters arises nicely.

Ian_Grant Posted December 10, 2022 #68 Posted December 10, 2022 George, I didn't know there was a naval museum in Chania! Too bad we were so focused on hiking the Samaria gorge. Next time! Our local Greek restaurant has a lovely framed poster of Chania harbour with the lighthouse and all the restaurants along the quay; fond memories! mtaylor, Keith Black and GeorgeKapas 3 Quote

Yes, the red building oposite the lighthouse at the harbour's entrance, on the Firka fortress. Alas, I have diverted my attention on a small built of La Couronne, rather unwisely. But this too fell short, perhaps a move to bigger builts is needed, once bigger workspace is available Keith Black and mtaylor 2 Quote Current scratch builts: Greek brig Ares - 1/144 Greek frigate Hellas - 1/144 -Soon Greek corvette Loudovikos - 1/144 - Soon Greek steam sloop Karteria - 1/144 - Soon Greek ship of the line Emmanuil - 1/144 - Soon Completed scratch models: Ottoman Ship of the Line Mahmudiye - 1/350 - scratchbuilt 17th century Venetian galley by GeorgeKapas - 1/350 - scratchbuilt Armored cruiser Georgios Averof - 1/700 - scratchbuilt Greek steam sloop Karteria - 1/350 - Soon
Hubac's Historian Posted January 8, 2023 #70 Posted January 8, 2023 This is a brilliant piece of work, George! I’m sorry I missed this one, but I’ll be keeping closer track of what you do next. All the best, Marc GeorgeKapas, Keith Black and mtaylor 3 Quote We are all works in progress, all of the time.
