HMS Agamemnon by Sjors - FINISHED - Caldercraft/Jotika - 1:64


Recommended Posts

Thanks Mark and Sam,

 

@ Sam,

 

I have a plastic sheet in the kit that I can put behind the windows.

It looks if there is some glazing behind it so it worked  :D  :D  :D

I wanted to post pictures a few day's ago and when I see the pictures......

I don't want to do that !

A few all ready saying it and now I'm telling you this also.

Pictures don't lie !!!!!!!

So,I removed everything on the bow section and start all over again.

Here is the end result of that.

And I thought the work on the stern was spectacular.  This looks great......everything symmetrical.  I see you've decided to go with that blue.  Are you going to use it in the stern for the cabin entries as well?  It really stands out nicely.

 

I also see that she has both roundhouses and exposed seats of ease.  I surmise you need that with a large crew.

Thanks Augie and Popeye and for the ones who found the like button  :D  :D

 

The bow rails are level....I measure it with a water level.......

And blue is my favourite colour so why not using it ?? :P

And there where a lot of crew members on board.

Maybe those roundhouses where for the officers ?

The can just "trow" it over board  ;)

Looking good Sjors, its funny, the decoration on the bow looks very similar to the casting that goes on the stern of HMS Diana, seems CC reused that piece.

 

I think the roundhouses were for the sick and the petty officers, outside for everyone else except the wardroom members who would have the luxurious side gallery.

Cheers,
 
Jason

Hi Jason,

 

I think a lot of kit makers are doing a lot of things the same with there kits.

I've seen it also with OcCre.

You just make one example and you can use it all the time.

Much cheaper......

 

Thanks for the explanation about the round houses.

I think you have a very long traffic jam when everyone wants to go to those houses  :P  :P

Nice work on the bow, Sjors.  It seems everyone has trouble with the stern and bow on this ship.... you've done well, sir.

Nicely done Sjors.  Blue is also my favorite color, that's why the sky is blue so I can cavort in it  ;)

Thanks Mark, Piet and Bob,

 

@ Mark,

 

I know that every one has troubles with that.

And now I know why !!!!!!!

I wish I never knew it  :D  :D

 

This is also the reason that I re-do it all the time.....

For example....under the blue parts.

There should be soft metal but when I say soft, I mean soft !

You have to turn and twist it in all kind of directions.

After 3 times it wil break.

So I have change it for wood and to be honest.....I will see what I have left on that metal at the end of the ride ( before I start with the rigging ) and maybe I give it another try with the metal.

Sometimes it is better to stop with something and go further with some thing else.

But I wanted to see a little bit of a result.

 

@ Piet,

 

Send us a bit of that blue please....

It's only gray , rainy and cold in Holland !

 

@ Thanks Bob :D  :D  :D

Yup, rainy, windy, cold and gray - that's how I remember Holland alright ;)   I still have the scars where my gills used to be   :rolleyes:  :D  :D

 

Have patience Sjors, blue is coming but don't blink, you may miss the event  ;)

Well done mate, it's not the easiest part of the build is it.

 

Will you be using the decorative strip to finish of the bow sections or are you leaving it as it is.

 

Perhaps CC could send you some more or do you have enough for the Transom decoration. They do give you only just enough for each job with very little spare.

 

Either way mate she'll look good.

 

Be Good

Thanks Mobbsie,

 

I have to see when I'm starting at the rigging.

Maybe I change it again on the bow ( the decorative piece )

But for now I leave it this way.

But I can always send CC a e-mail about it.

After 2 weeks vacation I have to go to work again..... :(  :(

The little free time that I had I have done something......

Deck furniture on the lower gun deck is placed like:

Gratings, Stove, Ladders and beatings.

And when i was waiting for some glue to dry, I have painted the windows for the transom and the quarter gallery's.

And because the glue was not dry yet, I have place them in the frames.

And because it's early dark, not the best pictures.

I wanted to do it now otherwise you have to wait till wednesday or thursday......

Thanks all,

 

One thing is surprising me.......

That you are thinking that I'm fast......

I thought I go slowly !

The deck furniture was all ready done for a while and was waiting in the finish box.

I only have to put it in the right place.....

From now it really goes slow.

I want to finish the decorations on the transom before I go starting at painting the cannons and rig them....

Only 10 for the lower gun deck but still......

And then of course a touch up on all the paintwork around the ship.....

But, no rush, I have time enough  :D  :D  :D

Thanks Popeye and Frank,

 

@ Popeye,

 

You are right.

Every time when you put something on her after the painting, coppering ,planking she looks more and more as a living creature  :D  :D  :D

I hope she don't eat to much !!!!!

 

@ Frank,

 

It is really a lot of work but that's what I like.

When I build only small ships I have now a BIG armada in the house and no place to live anymore..... :P  :P

And Anja has to dust all the time  :D  :D  :D

Opes, warning points !!!!!!!
