HMS Sphinx 1775 by Paryzek - Vanguard Models


Recommended Posts

This is my first build log on MSW so please bear with me.

My English is bad, but with the help of a translator I can understand. The building kit probably needs no introduction. Chris did a perfect job. (I bought through the Czech supplier Astra models)

The start of construction has been here several times, so the current status so far. I hope my work will interest you.

 

(I can't take photos very well and I only have a decent mobile phone. sorry for the poor quality of the photos)

Yes it works. I'll use anything that helps. I fixed the broken piece on the deck and got to work on the gunports.

And under the table there is always a collector ready for anything that falls to the ground 😄

Next steps. Gun deck inner sides complete.

I think it's better to dry fit these parts first, outline the hatches and repair outside the ship. It doesn't do very well on the hull.

Jak koukám na fotky, budu muset přelakovat matným lakem, červená je moc lesklá. Zvláštní, barva je normálně matná.

Maybe it's the light, I'll see in the daylight.

I continue. I prefer to use hot steam rather than water for bending. The sides are installed (no glue yet). Tomorrow is my father's birthday, we are going to visit. So it will dry for more days. At least it will bend better and stick better.

Rád tě vidím zpátky v plné paryzkovské práci. Dobrá práce!! :imNotWorthy:Ondráš

Thank you, I am trying. The wife helped significantly financially to buy the kit. A belated 50th birthday present. I process the model very well. So I hope it goes well. I follow your work. 👍

I'm starting to plank the hull, it will go slower now. I was thinking about using my own material instead of the linden from the kit. 2x4mm spruce beams. But it was really a problem to bend them in the back so that they fit properly. Very stiff material for such an arch. So I'll trust Chris that the linden is fine. 

What the hell is the translator doing? I entered the text in English, and he returned it to me in Czech. (automatic translation in google chrome)

I report further progress. The first layer of lining is ready. I used wood putty on the small bumps, sanded it smooth. I will apply some thin wood glue and I can continue. Linden is a fairly soft wood. I had to grind carefully. It would probably be better to use a stronger profile. At least 1.5mm. But the second layer will strengthen the whole thing.
