Frigate Diana by RossR - OcCre - 1:85


Recommended Posts

My shipyard is finally complete.  I posted some pictures in the Shore Leave topic "So Where Do You Do Yours Then (Model Making That Is)".  Next step on my current build involves blackening some brass parts, and my bottle of Birchwood Casey didn't make the move because the cap didn't want to stay on tight.  Now that I have space I might get started on my next model until I get the replacement Brass Black.

I have a quick update on my build.  The yards for the main mast are complete.  These are configured the same as the yards for the foremast only a little longer.

now on to the sails.  I have some ideas for making the sails appear to be full from the wind, but I need to do some experimenting to see if I can create the look I am hoping for.  I will keep you posted.

@RossR glad to see you're making progress on this one again. Love your builds, both the Beagle and Diana. I would love to build a Diana, she really is a beautiful subject. Your build logs inspired me to utilize different finishes, i.e. shellac and stains. Following along!
