Hi Radek ,

Excellent work and great shots, I really find what you are doing is amazing , the Guns part is splendid .. will do the same with my current build

thank you for sharing

 

regards

 

 

Hi and Thanks. The shots are just snap-shot camera shots. Often the images are grainy or not as sharp as they used to be with my old camera. Building the cannons this way is typical for paper modellers...

Name tag for the stand and the finished Mayflower...

 

Thank you all for the likes and comments! 😊

 

...So I finally finished the model this week, after a journey of 10 years with ups and downs, the survival of the harsh, cold north and a completed study in geochemistry...

 

Here are some pictures about the name tag, which is of course made entirely from card. I used some thicker card with the self adhesive foil with wooden patterns on both sides and altered it with oil paints. The letters were drawn and then cut from a pizza box. Then I used a golden waterproof marker to give the letters a bit of a 3D-appearance. Worked out to my satisfaction. The edges were also painted golden.

 

 

 

After glueing all parts in place, I "signed" it on the back side and still altered the edges around the letters and the sign a bit more with black oil paint.

 

 

 

 

The rope coils for the deck were at the beginning a complete mess because the CA-glue soaked in them totally, making them look like chewed and spit out again... 😕  I changed then to the CA-gel, which was much better to apply, but still I made some mess in the one place or another...

 

 

 

And here some pictures of the finished model: 

 

            The MAYFLOWER , based on the plans from Waldemar Nowy  (1976) from

                                                     "Plany modelarskie, Vol. 78, Nr. 2, 1977"

 

 

Waldemar Novy in turn based his plans on the plans for the Mayflower II, by William A. Baker (1958).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I will try to make some better pictures and post them in the Gallery as soon as I have borrowed a better camera with a tripod.

 

       Kind regards,

RdK

Hi,

 

Thank you for the likes and congratulations. I asked my friend to make better photographs of the model, which I now present in the Gallery.
