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


Recommended Posts

 

 

@ Rod,

 

Welcome to the wonderful world of modelling an Aggy !

I have see that you visit all the Aggy logs.

But 2 till 3 years before you get started on her ?

Shame on you !!!!!!!!

Start tomorrow ! :P

 

 

 

Hi Sjors,

I would love to start on the Aggie tomorrow but as they say, you must walk before you run.

I am very much a beginner and need to get a few easier models under my belt and gain a lot more experience before I tackle such a big and complex build.

Thanks for the encouragement though. ;)

Thanks Sam, Bala the Noob ?, Wayne for the pffffff  :D  :D And Lawrence,

 

@ Sam,

 

No worries.

I make a lot of sawdust !

I have shape the filler blocks for the bow.

That's balsa wood so you know how much sawdust is coming from that !

But when I'm finished with that, cleaning again ( otherwise troubles with Anja )

 

@ Bala the Noob ,

 

I don't think that's your name.

Do you have a name otherwise I'll give you one  :D  :D  :D  :D

 

@ Wayne,

 

When you learn something new you always have to use it all the time  :P

So your new word is pfffffff ?  :D  :D

 

@ Rod,

 

It's brave that you tell us this.

When you have the feeling that the Aggy is to much at the moment.....wait with it !

But please, not to long ?

We don't getting any younger here......

 

@ Lawrence,

 

The tools has nothing to do with santa.

It was my own pocket money !

And now I'm broke ......

But I have the tools !

 

Then the little update.

Place and sand the blocks in the bow.....

One picture this time but it is one !

The bulwarks look good in red Sjors. The future tells me that your Aggie is going to look awesome and will be a fearsome beast!!! Please keep all those cannons pointed away from me.

Thanks,

Looking good Sjors - how did you do the inner planking, did you glue the strips together off the model and then install or did you glue one on at a time?  You've got a nice smooth surface.  Also, did you find you needed to bevel the interior frame surfaces so they sit properly?  Sorry for so many questions!

Cheers,
 
Jason

Sjors,

 

You are flying along.  Did Mobbsie give you his planking elves? At this rate, you'll pass him up.

Thanks all again  :D

Also for all the likes ! I like it  :D  :D

 

@ Patrick,

 

Thank you very much.

I will do best to make your profession right !  :D  :D

 

@ Jason,

 

Questions are always welcome.

I put every plank separate on the frames.

When all of them are there, I sand it a little and then paint them.

They gonna have another layer of paint after I make the gun ports.

If there is any damage, I can fix that.

I have not bevel them.

It just fits perfect !

If you have more questions, just ask.

 

@ John,

 

Thank you  :D

pictures are coming if I have to report something.

 

@ Robbyn,

 

Also thank you !

It goes easy and good.

And then you can make some progress.

And don't forget that I have a great teacher !

A guy from England  :D  :D  :D

 

@ Mark,

 

Mobbsie want to keeps his elves  for his own  :(

I have to do it all by myself.

The progress is now going slow because of work......

I'll catching up with him ?

Then I have to build 24 hours each day........

 

@ Ben,

 

Also thank you !

The big planking starts soon.....

I think that takes a year before I finished the hull.

There are going a lot of planks on it !

What have I done today.....

 

I start planking the hull.

On both sides there are now 4 planks on it.

This cost me a fortune on the glue.

These planks are long !

Of course they need sanding but that's for later.

I have removed the upper gunport sheet otherwise it's in the way.

Also removed the upper gun deck again.

Same story.
