SawdustDave Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share #482 Posted February 18, 2015 Thanks for all the visits and "likes" mates. Hope I can wrap up the anchors for both ships tomorrow as I am anxious to see what kinda' mess I can make of the stern carvings. Haven't played with sculpy since the Confederacy, over three years ago. GLakie 1 Quote Sawdust Dave - Current build - USS Constitution 1:60th (scratch)....

SawdustDave Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share #485 Posted February 20, 2015 Anchors for both ships completed. Note, the rings of the larger scale are seized, but I didn't add that little detail to the smaller one. Also....Began painting the hull of the smaller ship this morning. Looks like it will take at least three coats. kees de mol, Piet, tadheus and 7 others 10 Quote Sawdust Dave - Current build - USS Constitution 1:60th (scratch)....

yvesvidal Posted February 20, 2015 Share #486 Posted February 20, 2015 Dave, The difference of scale is readily apparent on the first picture: 1/60 versus 1/76. Very nice. Yves SawdustDave and GLakie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SawdustDave Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share #487 Posted February 20, 2015 Walnut really pops once you hit it with a thin coat of wipe-on poly. The little Mayflower is going through quite a transformation today. I'll wait 'til the new white paintjob is finished to show.

SawdustDave Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share #489 Posted February 21, 2015 Anchors all done....and here's the larger scale. Actually the rigging of all the anchors went pretty well. Happy to find that big piece of rope in my boneyard. On to the stern flowers, so I dug out the sculpy, which I haven't worked with in a long time. Here goes nothing.....

SawdustDave Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share #493 Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) I think this is a little more better.... larger scale makes a big difference every time.

SawdustDave Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share #494 Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) Really surprised how quickly these little sculpie projects were completed. Just noticed, I still have to stick the little boomkin on. Flags will finish them off.... then I've got to build a display base for the smaller one. Note the difference in the white painting of the stern. Although the smaller scale is more like the photo of the Mayflower II, I personally prefer the looks of the larger one.

SawdustDave Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share #502 Posted February 24, 2015 Thanks all for the visits, "likes", and kind words. Patrick - I had to look up "chuffed".... a term you will not hear around these parts.... not a bad fit under the circumstances. Tomorrow night is poker night. I will use "chuffed" the first time I pull in a good size pot from those rotten liars.

edmay Posted February 24, 2015 Share #503 Posted February 24, 2015 Hello Dave, As far as "Chuffed" goes,as a young lad in Liverpool the word was used to express proudness happy with the end result,to be pleased with oneself.

Omega1234 Posted February 24, 2015 Share #504 Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) Hah! Thanks Dave. I don't know if 'chuffed' is just Aussie slang, but it sounds like you got my drift anyway!

SawdustDave Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share #508 Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) FINAL PHOTO POSTING FOR THIS BUILD..... Built this this little display base for the small model.... Added the flags to both ships....(printed from internet search).... And there you are.... All Done. What Next? Not sure yet. A friend is sending me a set of plan sheets for The Royal Sovereign.... by Carta Augusto (Italian) I searched for a build log from someone - can't find one. I did find a number of photo's and a very interesting "History", which after reading, I'm surprised I can't find more on her. She looks like a major challenge for a scratch build, but might be just what I'm looking for, as long as it doesn't require plating the hull.... never again! Best I can figure, the plan sheets appear to be about 1:60th scale, which is the same as the larger Mayflower above. I'll soon find out once the plan sheets arrive.
