rwiederrich Posted December 6, 2013 Author #37 Posted December 6, 2013 Bill...I always begin with a Revell CS hull and make the necessary mods to create the hull I need. I prefer to use existing engineered hulls...then I make the mods to them for my own purposes......and there is ample after marked CS hulls to modify. My Glory of the Seas and Ferreira are also modified resin hulls. Check those build logs out to see what I did there. Thanks for looking in. I'll get lots done tomorrow...with pics to follow.

Mahuna Posted December 8, 2013 #39 Posted December 8, 2013 Hi Rob: Interesting approach and beautiful work. Can you answer two things: 1. Can you give a brief description of your weathering technique for the bulwarks? 2. The forward wall of the deckhouse looks like individual planks. Did you create this by scoring a sheet of wood, or are they actual individual pieces? Thanks, Frank Quote Frank Completed: Skipjack Kathryn; Dunbrody Sectional Model; Paragon (modified Mayflower) Scratch Build; Planning a Sectional Model of Dunbrody NRG Member
rwiederrich Posted December 8, 2013 Author #40 Posted December 8, 2013 your turbulent ocean waves are excellent. I haven't seen a sea like that modelled before. Thanks Brian...I wanted a rich full *BIG* sea to set my clipper Donald McKay in. I am not a master at making water as some are...but I did the best I could with a medium I'm quite familiar with. Again thanks.

rwiederrich Posted December 8, 2013 Author #41 Posted December 8, 2013 (edited) Most folks build from scratch..using typical plank on frame or full solid hull construction. I, as is my custom, try to use pre-engineered hulls and then rework them and build them up with wood. Revell has a good hull in the Cutty Sark model and it doesn't take much to rework it into an American clipper hull....especially if the below water line is not going to be an issue(under water). I use black or brown India Ink diluted in pure Isopropynal alcohol. The I paint it on the surface I want weathered and it seeps into the cracks and when the alcohol, evaporates it leaves the staining. It works fast and I use this method on all my builds in some level of dilution. Then I go back over and dry brush cerium oxide powder(2 micron)(Extremely fine) over the entire surface to add highlights and additional weathering that simulates sun bleaching and wear. As far as the board and lattice or board and batton work on the forecastle and deck house...I make most things. but I do have a stock of this is many scales pre-made. It is for building scale N,HO model railroad buildings. It can be found at most quality railroad building suppliers. I think Micro Mark sells it as well as Model Expo. Again...I will use any source for materials to build my ships.....and sometimes Model railroad supplies work best. Thanks for asking and looking in on my build log.

Small Stuff Posted December 9, 2013 #43 Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) Daear Rob, from my work on 1/700 ships in boxes I learned the hard lesson that gypsum is going to give its water into the air for/after very long years! So this "water" of a closed bottle or showcase will show "dew" inside. And later you'll get mold or serpula fungus! But the model's wood will have "labored" long time before you can see these or other signs. This is why ships are bottled in coloured window putty. I like your sea in action and authentic colours very much. And so I want to give you my bitter know-how - before you enclose your showbox -due to the wonderful work you are doing. HTH.

rwiederrich Posted December 9, 2013 Author #44 Posted December 9, 2013 You have a very interesting and resourceful approach Rob. I'm enjoying reading about your techniques and sources. Thank you for sharing them with us. I've strayed from the purist approach....and have learned from experiences that anything can be re-engineered for my purposes. I'm after the overall appearance not the method of how I achieved it. Some would say that the build is as important as the final product....but I gather, that since these are but models and mixing all manner of media to achieve my goals will not result in the little ship's sinking...I delve head long into it. Plus..I'm generally lazy..so if I can utilize a method, material, technique that saves time and money....I'm all over it. I want a fine final product and I don't care if I have to use Dental alginate in its construction. When it's all said and done..the viewer will never know. Thanks for looking and commenting.

Thanks HTH for your fine comments and advice. The dental stone is not in a box of wood it is sitting on top of foam and the wood is wrapped around the foam..not the dental stone. Yes gypsum will evaporate water for a time till it is totally void of moisture. It should not cause moisture condensation and or collection....since it will also not be encased in a glass case.

rwiederrich Posted December 11, 2013 Author #55 Posted December 11, 2013 Indeed. Since I am always thinking in those terms(as far as modeling is concerned), I hope to get the McKay hull finished up today then painted black. I figure it will take 3 CS hulls to make the Great Republic(the largest clipper ship built), I chose the clipper Donald McKay because of its magnificent features.....such as being the second largest clipper ever built and for all of its unique deck features.
