Zyba Posted August 25, 2013 Share #1 Posted August 25, 2013 Hi all, This is my first building log to present currently build cardboard laser cut model of Papegojan sailing ship. The model is produced by a Polish manufacturer - Shipyard. I would like to present my vision of a "veteran" ship. This version is going to differ from the one proposed by Shipyard. The out of the box model is supposed to look brand new, just put on the water, ready to set sail. However, I want to present it at the end of its days, harbored at the forgotten shipyard. I am going to achieve this by using different techniques and my paintings abilities. One picture says 1000 words - I am not going to describe every single one of them. In case you would like to know anything, please do not hesitate to ask. I will do my best to answer every question. I invite you to join me in this journey. gieb8688, kriss, Paryzek and 3 others 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nirvana Posted August 25, 2013 Share #3 Posted August 25, 2013 Papegojan was one of the ships under the Swedish Commander Niels Göranson Stiernsköld during the Battle of Oliwa. Built in Holland and bought by the Swedes in 1623. This battle was between part of the Polish-Swedish War (1625–1629), ending with a Polish victory. One Swedish ship Solen "The Sun" was blown up instead of being captured. Poland had two squadrons with ten ships, Sweden had six ship. The losses on the Polish side is unknown, Sweden lost two ships.

BANYAN Posted September 1, 2013 Share #12 Posted September 1, 2013 Hey nice to see you posting this nice build Zibby; you need to add a scale ruler so the folks can see the size of this build. I had the pleasure of seeing it last weekend and it is a very nice model indeed; especially the weathering effects you have applied. It's amazing how solid these card models are. cheers Pat Quote If at first you do not suceed, try, and then try again!Current build: HMCSS Victoria (Scratch) Next build: HMAS Vampire (3D printed resin, scratch 1:350) Built: Battle Station (Scratch) and HM Bark Endeavour 1768 (kit 1:64) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BANYAN Posted September 19, 2013 Share #20 Posted September 19, 2013 Very nice work Zibby, she (he) is coming along very nicely; I love the very aged look of the model. What is not shown (may need to add a ruler) is the small size of this model. cheers Pat Quote If at first you do not suceed, try, and then try again!Current build: HMCSS Victoria (Scratch) Next build: HMAS Vampire (3D printed resin, scratch 1:350) Built: Battle Station (Scratch) and HM Bark Endeavour 1768 (kit 1:64) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amateur Posted September 20, 2013 Share #21 Posted September 20, 2013 (edited) But there are rulers in the pics, and the model is standing on centimeter-scaled mat: You'll need Pythagoras to figure out the keel length from this pic, but it can be done Jan Edited September 20, 2013 by amateur mtaylor and dafi 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zyba Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share #24 Posted September 23, 2013 And some more of fresh painting work (from before our visit to Canberra). BTW, it was a very spectacular show. Highly recommended. Thank you all for comments. I will try not to forget including the ruler next time. The model will be 50cm long. For all who are interested, I can reveal a secret - the log is going to be very long, because apart of ship model there will be a whole diorama. janos, dafi, gieb8688 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
