Piet Posted February 14, 2017 Share #242 Posted February 14, 2017 Hello Jeff, Finally caught up with your Preussen. Very nice work and many helpful hints with references. It'll come in handy whenever I can start building my Dutch fishing boat or Staten Jacht in a bottle. But first I want to do a diorama of the Young America at sea in scale 1:3000. I'll be following along as time allows. Cheers, IgorSky, cog, Omega1234 and 2 others 5 Quote Piet, The Flying Dutchman.

Chasseur Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share #243 Posted February 14, 2017 @ Rob .... go to page 7 of this build and you'll see what I finally came up with. The medium is modelling paste on carved/fitted wood and a gel combined with a dry brush paint technique. @ Piet... Young America is a beautiful ship. I look forward to your diorama at 1:3000 it will be very cool indeed. ... Jeff IgorSky, mtaylor, Omega1234 and 1 other 4 Quote A mighty fortress is our God a bulwark never failing!

HMS Bellisle Posted February 15, 2017 Share #244 Posted February 15, 2017 Piet - do you really mean 1:3000 or 1:300? 1:3000 would be 250 feet to 1 inch! Piet, Chasseur, mtaylor and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chasseur Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share #245 Posted February 22, 2017 Today I managed to get the port side bulwark on and primed. Once the paint dries overnight I’ll get out some 600 grit and work towards 2000 to polish out the imperfections and get things nice and smooth. I am leaning towards using some paper on the hull to depict the plating on the Preussen. Note sure how crazy I am going to get here. Also some paper gussets to hold the main rails to the bulwarks are up soon. I have been thinking about starting on the masts and yards and in particular how I want to secure the ratlines, back-stays and fore-stays. Everything has to come apart before she goes into the bottle so I have to put on my Engineers hat and figure this out in more detail. McCaffery’s below and Underhill’s book has been some inspiration as of late. Lots to do ... Jeff hexnut, Piet, IgorSky and 6 others 9 Quote A mighty fortress is our God a bulwark never failing!

Omega1234 Posted February 23, 2017 Share #246 Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) Hi Jeff I think this is the first time we've seen the whole hull (correct me if I'm wrong) and, I'm not disappointed. You've done a lovely job shaping the hull and the effort that you've put into the rudder and its pintles, is well worthwhile. Can't wait for the rigging to start. Nice job!!!

Chasseur Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share #248 Posted March 2, 2017 Last few days I had a chance to get to it. Starboard bulwark installed and primed. I built a tool rest for the mini lathe and a new addition a mini grinder/sander/jack of all trades. I also scratched out the 5 masts ready to be soldered. The mini grinder was wonderful for this project. I had this old 4.8 volt rechargeable type of Dremel rotary tool from Sears Craftsman. I threw away the recharging station and battery pack as they both sucked! I wired it in directly to my power pack and rheostat. Go to go! Pictures as follows ...

Chasseur Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share #252 Posted April 18, 2017 Well it’s been quit awhile since I have had a chance to hobby. My Father-in-Law passed away suddenly from Parkinson’s disease and my Aunt Sadie passed away as well. We expected the passing of my Aunt but not my Father-in-Law. So it’s been pretty solemn around here lately. It’s been really hard on the Vice Admiral. Work has been really busy as well so I apologize for the long lag. I started on the cross tree’s for the masts and I also built a special ergonomic workstation to alleviate some stress on my back when working hunched over on small parts. The cross trees are made from paper glued to thin card and then paper for the supports and end trim. Cyano in combination with white glue worked well here.
