dgbot Posted June 4, 2014 #212 Posted June 4, 2014 There is only one flaw with such a nice outfit. Your model has to be flawless. It will not only show the errors but magnify them. I doubt if I would have the courage to set one up David B Quote Work in progress USS Maine in cardstock.http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/7446-uss-maine-by-dgbot-hmv-card/#entry220003 Completed Blockade runner Teazer http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/6063-blockade-runner-teazer-by-dgbot-card-stock/#entry175967 Completed The Monitor Lehigh http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/6920-the-monitor-lehigh-by-dgbot-card-model/#entry203680 Completed Kingston Class MCVD http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/forum/10-kit-build-logs-in-progress/
Gaetan Bordeleau Posted June 4, 2014 Author #213 Posted June 4, 2014 The first try to take pictures inside the model ship was with a web cam, low resolution, later changed for another one with a higher resolution. For those who remember MSW 1.0, here is an example, picture 1. Then to control the angle of the camera, tubes were used with adaptor at the end. With Le Fleuron, new options are explore. First a tripod with a horizontal extension was used. Unfortunately, the height of the extension cannot be adjust, picture 3. I have been reading since few months about moonlight and light stand to hold it. One of the versions is a boom stand. Unlike the ‘’boom tripod’’ the height of the boom light stand can be adjust. Few words about lamps, first for Greg, here is another one from Burton bought from EBay, picture 4. On the picture 5, there are 2 lamps for which I paid around the same price; one from Dazor halogen type and the other one from Aamsco. I also want to point another model from Dazor. I think that this LED light model is probably one the best lamp available on the market below $500, http://www.dazor.com/led-desk-lamps.html The Aamsco lamp was bought used from a place similar to http://www.pemed.com/ in the lights section, they sell used medical gadgets. The Xenon light was also bought from another similar place. Again, if you take the time to look carefully, you can find a used lamp of high quality at the price of an ordinary lamp and the idea to have such a kind of lamp is that you can easily see objects that you wound not see otherwise. David I would say it is impossible to produce a flawless model. It happens frequently after taking pictures to see details which need to be corrected, so the first one who benefits is me. Often the camera benefits view angle that we do not have. druxey, Jeronimo, cpt. Tom and 6 others 9 Quote
cabrapente Posted June 4, 2014 #214 Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) Hello Gaetan. fantastic job. I have a question. What is the size of the pulley of the guns? Might put a picture of the guns with their ropes. thank you very much. greeting one cabrapente Edited June 4, 2014 by cabrapente Quote

Gaetan Bordeleau Posted June 9, 2014 Author #230 Posted June 9, 2014 Enough for the congratulations, the truth is the opposite. I did not win anything, it is just my entry which was in this category. The model was evaluated by 2 judges and unfortunately one of them did not like my work particuliary for the choice of wood. This same judge gave me 9/15 points for historic accuracy but I forgive him: he did not know that Jean Boudriot wrote 4 books about this subject...
