Elijah Posted March 14, 2016 Share #640 Posted March 14, 2016 Very nice gold painting! I'm wondering, did you sand it to get the excess paint off, or some thing else?

guraus Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share #641 Posted March 14, 2016 Very nice gold painting! I'm wondering, did you sand it to get the excess paint off, or some thing else? Thanks! I scraped it with an exacto blade, not sand it. I tried initially to wipe it with a cloth but it didn't worked so well. The sanding also didn't worked as the dust would fill the holes where the paint was.The scrapping did the trick.

wyz Posted March 20, 2016 Share #651 Posted March 20, 2016 Hi Alexandru, While I've never been a big fan of HMS Victory models I can't help but follow your work on this one. It's over-the-top nice,,,,, just gorgeous! When you are finished with it I hope it ends up in a place where it can be viewed by lots of people. Anything less would be a crime. You are quite the craftsman, a true artist. Thanks for sharing with us. Tom Obormotov, mtaylor and Elijah 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

md1400cs Posted March 20, 2016 Share #656 Posted March 20, 2016 Alexandru, Your ship is sooo beautiful. Everytime I visit your new postings, I tell myself that I can't possibly be once again in awe of your work. But yes every visit has new magic for the eyes and the senses. Tom is right this work NEEDS to be seen by many - It deserves to be. And NOT against a wall. A "walk around" is a must. Brilliant indeed. In fact, in my humble opinion, it should be on display aboard the HMS Victory, to give the millions who visit her an incredible miniature view of the actual build plank by plank Michael Elijah, mtaylor, WackoWolf and 2 others 5 Quote Michael Current build : Sovereign of the Seas 1/78 Sergal Under the table: Golden Hind - C Mamoli Oseberg - Billings 720 - Drakkar - Amati Completed: Santa Maria-Mantua -- Vasa-Corel - Santisima Trinidad cross section OcCre 1/90th Gallery : Santa Maria - Vasa - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMBROOK Posted March 20, 2016 Share #657 Posted March 20, 2016 Alexandru,wow,this has got to be the most spectacular models of Victory I have seen.I am not a big fan of too much paint on my own models,I would rather let the beauty of the timber shine through,so your build appeals to me greatly .

Greg the peg leg sailor Posted March 21, 2016 Share #658 Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) G'day Alexandru . I'm like everyone else, we are in total respect of your craftsmanship! I'm so glad that you have taken your time to take photos of even the smallest detail, from start to finish. I'm haven't used ebony myself, but I believe it's very brittle, so its is amazzzzzzzzing how you bent it in your previous photolesson. Again brilliant mate.
