HMB Endeavour by BANYAN - FINISHED - Artesania Latina - 1:60 - circa 1768

[BANYAN]

Yep same stuff Popeye - weighs less, won't shatter and more importantly, at least when I bought my acrylic sheet, cheaper than glass.  Not now though as it seems glass is the cheaper option these days.

 

cheers

Downside with acrylic, not so scratch resistant.

Downside with glass, can break and shatter.

As I have found out Per  - a big scratch already which I will try to polish out with "Brasso" but at least it is on the back (nearest the wall) side of the case.

 

cheers

So close...  Wonderful work, Pat.  Just wonderful.  And the case is ready to boot.   I'm looking forward to your launching and display her proudly.

[BANYAN]

Thanks you so much John and Mark; appreciate your comments.

 

John - next job is to complete the HMCSS Victoria which I have been researching and assisting the build.  Its' back in my hands now for final fit-out with hull and coppering completed.  I will start a dedicated log soon.  i will also be making a start on my HMAS Vampire (3D printed project) early next year.

 

Mark - final photos this week I hope

 

cheers

I'm not around for a few days and at the end of next week finished ????

Are you in a hurry ?

I will wait for the final pictures !

Well folks, "enough is enough" - I still have two boats to make (in very slow time) but they will be added to the display case as separate items and not onboard the model.  So, although there are a few more items I would like to add, and a few fixes i would still like to make, I think I will call it quits and declare this one finished

 

The following photos show her in her final fit; but, I must apologise for the quality of the one in her case.  I will take better shots of her in her home when I can control the reflections a little better

 

The photos will be in three posts.

 

cheers

Russ

[Blue Ensign]

You must be well satisfied Pat, a fine model

 

The masthead pennant looks just right, and nicely arranged .

 

Well done.

[Jim Lad]

Congratulations, Pat!  A beautiful model all round and a real credit to you.

 

Never mind the occosional scratch on the Perspex - I've seen what can happen to models in glass cases when something goes wrong - the Perspex is much safer.

 

John

[BANYAN]

Thanks for looking in and congratulatory comments Russ, BE and John.

 

Russ - thanks, it was your early support in ther battle station build that got me into 'bashing' the kit so much.

 

BE - thanks for your help with the pennants also mate.

 

John -  I really appreciate your assistance in the detail photos of the replica rigging you took for me .  ...and, yep, I would much rather scratch the case

 

cheers

G'day Pat

Congrat6on a bloody marvelous job on the HMS ENDEAVOUR.

She's a beauty and you ought to be very proud of her.

What's 10 years mate? At least it's done and covered.

Again well done!

BTW what's your next endeavor into the model ship building? (Hoped that you like my pun!). Why not do the Royal William? She's a beautiful ship.

[popeye the sailor]

she looks awesome Pat..........so well done,  and the rigging is flawless!   she looks great in her case     did you fix the scratch.......nail polish perhaps?

[DaveRow]

Top Job fella.

An inspiration.

Scratches on plexiglass can be buffed out, using fine compound for cars. Well depending on the depth of it.

[BANYAN]

Thanks Denis, Dave and Per - much appreciate you all looking in and leaving a comment.  Thanks also for the many likes.

 

I haven't tried to fix the scratch yet but will try the car polishing compound.

 

Denis - nail polish?  more clues please I am intrigued

[popeye the sailor]

something I had heard about...don't remember all the particulars.   fill the gap {scratch} with clear nail polish using a fine tip brush...not sure about the rest of it,  but I'm sure there is some buffing involved.  thought you may have have known about it >shrug<

[Keith_W]

What are you embarking on next, Pat? 

[kiwiron]

Congrats Pat beautifull job,nice to get her in a case before the nasty dust gets it.You can just sit back now and look at your ship.

[BANYAN]

Thanks again to all the likes and comments; much appreciated folks.

 

Keith - HMCSS Victoria (see earlier post and here)

 

Thanks for looking in Ron, not just to keep the dust off but also to stop fiddling with it (adding more detail)

 

Thanks John, appreciate the earlier feedback and constructive comments to keep the rigging on track.
