Hubac's Historian Posted December 23, 2018 #92 Posted December 23, 2018 Kirill, This is so beyond the beyonds that I am almost speechless. Almost! I love everything about what you have achieved, here, and am completely astounded by your rigorous attention to detail, and the superb results you have achieved throughout; your weathering, your ornamental/heraldic additions, your masting, sails, rigging. The natural lay of your rope coils, and the perfect interplay of taught and slack between the standing and running rigging. It is all truly magnificent and evident of an unwavering commitment to a standard of excellence. I will be re-visiting this build over and again, and I will be PM'ing you for particular advice on rigging cord, sails and the like. I sure am glad that you came out of the woodwork, so to speak 😏 popeye the sailor 1 Quote We are all works in progress, all of the time.
kirill4 Posted December 23, 2018 Author #93 Posted December 23, 2018 Dear Marc, Thank your very much for your attention and warm comments I'm very glad that You found interesting my "spanish galleon" experiments:))) ... of cause, when asked,I will be glad to share all my knowledge /methоds in rope imitation and sails making... by the way, as I consider rigging questions quite important,I will take the opportunity to say a few words...abt material for model rigging... next my model I' m seriously planing to equipt with self made ropes(by using rope making mashine) complitely, all rigging, but not like on this model,where self made ropes were used mostly for stays, and for some ,a few only,running rigging ropes... , on this model for running rigging ,in common,I used ordinary sewing threads as they were arrived from the shop,but only painted them by acrylic paint... and on macro foto you could see that most of the ropes have very " loose" structure,which I don't like... but ok, it will be corrected on the next model... the best staff for making ropes,by my opinion, it is threads "gutermann", type"tera"... before I ve found this threads , I' ve spent /waisted a lot of time,money and material in experiments which threads are the best... #need to be easy to paint, and and must be complitely without fluff!!!# when found them, I ve bouth all available sizes in one time , ordered them like a kind of "set" ,which lately could be used for own ropes making... my compilied set ,looks like this( one of the shop from many...) details/text and prices in russian... but I believe,if contact ( website adress in lower left corner of the foto)with supplier ,they could arrange all ness-ry info in english as well... if not this shop,than knowing id No of this threads and maker, same could be bouth in other places... All The Best!

Hubac's Historian Posted December 23, 2018 #94 Posted December 23, 2018 Thank you, Kirill. I am debating whether to make a rope walk for the Soleil Royal project, but I have time before I am anywhere near that decision. I am also considering buying line from Chuck Passaro, but I suspect it would be significantly less expensive to make my own. So, is this Guttermann line polyester? popeye the sailor 1 Quote We are all works in progress, all of the time.
kirill4 Posted December 23, 2018 Author #95 Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) Hi Marc, by my experience, I could say, Making own rope, undoubtedly will be much less expensive than buying them somewhere... Consumption ,when rigging - quite high due to manipulations with ropes...need always to have them in excess for convinience...and if try to use "shop "made ropes,they became gold :))) - at least for me,when I m making rigging,I have too much threads waisted... one more advantage making own ropes - you will make exactly that size,which you need according to your rigging plan... for making rope you need not expensive and very simple machine...and suitable threads...than some weights approx 1kg max,for heavy ropes...and small portable el.drill...for making process faster....that all... I saw on our shipmodel market( russian) ,some of our colleques offer "High End" rope making machine(I' m planing to buy such in the future) ...they are fantastic in work,and looks nice for example ,like this https://shipworkshop.ru/products/all-products ...but funny things, simple machine ,even made from cartoon without any pinions, works with the same good results as HighEnd rope machine! :))) I have this ,3d printed unexpensive brand https://modelshipyard.ru/product/trosomot-trehprjadnyj-pr-va-rossija/ I guess, Guttermann line is polyester, with no fluff at all...at least this brand, "tera" ... they have wide range of threads , but this "tera" serie, is what we need for model rigging purposes...other type of their product could be with fluff - which is not suitable,at least for me...

kirill4 Posted September 29, 2019 Author #99 Posted September 29, 2019 (edited) Good day Dear Community! I’m continuing experiments with using" potal"( fake gold) instead of gold paint (maybe this idea will be useful for someone to use "potal " for gilding decor on the model.,and ...and not only decor ... It could be used for guilding model's stands ... some other parts on the model which surfaces need to be looks like " metal" On the first foto you could see difference between gold acrylic paint and "potal leafs" Presently I’ll try to replace paintings of all decorative elements. which were painted by gold paint in the past (the first photo shows the difference between the gold paint and potal leafs) ...and repaint them with "potal"... As You could see, I changed a little color of my sails...made them more dark - on the foto you could see difference in color between mizzen and bonaventure sails and main and fore sails as well Also I repaint anchor's wooden parts partuatly and rearange imitation fasteners which joining two wooden halves- bolts imitation made from acrulic contur paint and I prefabricated " plates " for main tacks and made "boarding" anchor, which later on will be fastened to the bowsprit ... and yes, I decided to replace Stern Shields,and made it in relief but not flat picture (foto print) as before... as example boarding anchor /approx size compare to human body you could see on these pictures ..

Hubac's Historian Posted September 30, 2019 #102 Posted September 30, 2019 (edited) Kirill - nice to see you back at work. The ship looks just spectacular! The potal is a striking contrast to the gold acrylic. Does this product retain its luster, over time, or is it necessary to varnish or lacquer over it? Also, I am intrigued by your new 3-D tafferal medallion. I see what looks like an impression of the medallion in grey modeling clay. It is an interesting idea to contain the clay within a jar lid. So, my questions are these: Is that, in fact, just plain old modeling clay, or is it a rubberized mould medium? Did you sculpt the negative impression of the medallion into the clay, so that you could then make a resin casting? What, exactly, is your process, there? Edited September 30, 2019 by Hubac's Historian paulsutcliffe and popeye the sailor 2 Quote We are all works in progress, all of the time.
kirill4 Posted September 30, 2019 Author #103 Posted September 30, 2019 Hello Marc, Thanks , :))) To preserve potal luster, it need to be varnished or lacquered... there are many special liquids for that effect on the market(decoration hobbies) ... after almost 5 months, I found that it became a little bit redish in color, but remained same luster ...so better to protect it presently I covered all with glossy acryl lacquer. For making medalion... as "donor" ,for this tafferal medallion served ordinary chip /less than dollar price /plastic medalion ... I found it somewhere years ago by ocasion in some small shop on the street , that time I liked medalion picture quality as all smallest details were nice visiable , I bouth it just for case - and now this case happened :))) for making negative mould I 've used two components epoxy , like a solid paste, they call it "cold welding"here in Russia, actually it was not designed for this use, but for making small repair of leaking pipes for example , etc... I used it because it just was under hand, lets say :))) and didn't want to spend time for waiting special components delivery from internet shop... but quality of the casting , as You could see < not very good... small details missed during "casting" process but for better result I think spesial staff need to be used - rubberized mould medium +resin casting- something , as Dafi used when reproducing nessesery copies in his VICTORY project In my case , for making copy of this medalion, first, I made negative sculpt in this two components "clay" and than ,using same staff again, I made positive sculpt - to separate positive and negative substanceses, I used silicon grease.
