ChrisLinden Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share #61 Posted October 5, 2015 Worked on the Friesland for a little bit yesterday. Started making the 64 cannon port hatches. I think I won't continue adding them to the hull yet as they are super fragile and I imagine they will get knocked loose frequently when I'm rigging the masts.It does look nice though Light at the end of the tunnel for constructing the hull.

S.Coleman Posted October 5, 2015 Share #62 Posted October 5, 2015 Ahh yes the repetitive job of gun port hatches. Still looking good. I noticed on your middle picture the cannon on the left of the frame is black. Will you be blackening the rest of the cannon barrels?

Yeah the one thing I cant stand about this hobby is doing 1 task 50 times the same. I guess some enjoy that but not me haha The canon color is all over the place. The black is a spraypaint primer. Others i tried variations of metallics, inks, pigment powders etc. Not decided on a look yet. Overal my model is quite a patchwork to be honest. Oh well...

ChrisLinden Posted October 12, 2015 Author Share #67 Posted October 12, 2015 worked on finishing up all sorts of leftover jobs around the hull/decks. Trying to get a more consistent paintjob/color on the railings in the process. Fitted the guns on the forecastle. Im keeping the rigging super simple cause frankly Im not feeling up to the challenge of rigging it accurately at this scale. This one rope already drove me to frustration so yeah, dark times ahead GuntherMT, Piet, skipper1947 and 4 others 7 Quote Finished: Pinta, Amati Current Build: Friesland Mamoli 1:75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmart Posted October 12, 2015 Share #68 Posted October 12, 2015 Chris, Your Friesland is looking great. Yes Ratlines take forever on this ship , but it pays off when you see them all finished.. Same with the gun ports when you look down the side and see them all lined up. I actually built this ship as well a good 10 years back. Took me a couple of years to complete. You may already know this but there is at least one, maybe two Dutch replica ships that are very similar to Friesland. Google TS Holland.

ChrisLinden Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share #69 Posted October 13, 2015 hi Kmart Thanks glad you like it. Im mainly using Van Halteren (hans) as reference and Great Galleons build here on Msw. He didnt post the rigging part though so for that I will look at Hans log for help. And I will need loads of help I think haha Quote Finished: Pinta, Amati Current Build: Friesland Mamoli 1:75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisLinden Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share #71 Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) The hand rails look great. Is that a gold trim you have on the length of your catheads Yes but I think I might have to do it like add a piece of thin wire and then paint it gold. Cause the paint alone only registers if viewed from a certain angle. The handrails I painted solid and then sanded the edges so that the lighter wood shines through again creating a sharp highlight.

ChrisLinden Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share #72 Posted October 13, 2015 Worked on adding the belaying pins (dryfit) and started adding the glass parts to the lanterns. Those still need a bit of work to tidy up. Im going to continue finishing the deck fitttings, canons etc.... I had to order some more gratings cause the ones from the kit are all broken. So I might have to wait a couple of days before I can continue. In the meantime Im studying other logs and ship rigging videos to learn. PS I am aware the anchor wood thingies are wrong. I'll fix that later dgbot, avsjerome2003, GuntherMT and 4 others 7 Quote Finished: Pinta, Amati Current Build: Friesland Mamoli 1:75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonV Posted October 16, 2015 Share #76 Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) Great work Chris. I always like lines of Friesland. After I heard that Mamoli factory was caught in fire and completely destroyed, I decided to find one kit for future build. Yesterday I finally find one and immediately order it . I assume that this kits are going to be rare on Ebay. Also I recommend watching Michiel de Ruyter movie where Zeven Provincien could be seen in battle.

ChrisLinden Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share #77 Posted October 21, 2015 Hey Simon Yeah I watched that movie, im dutch so the ships was cool to see but the movie story, acting and plot was pretty terrible if you ask me When are you starting your build?

SimonV Posted October 21, 2015 Share #78 Posted October 21, 2015 Hi Chris, battle scenes of movie are my favorites, other is like you said so,so,... . When I am going to start with build? I am planing Friesland as my next project, because normally I do not do multiple projects at the same time. But I will not deny that it is very tempting . Will follow your log with great interest as reference for my future build.

S.Coleman Posted October 22, 2015 Share #79 Posted October 22, 2015 Your doin a stunning job Chris. How do you get your wood to look like that? With the aged look. Especially like the wood around the figure head. I see on the box the picture shows the figure head lion is a bright red. I won't be doin that. I will be painting it more the way you have done. Looks better.

Especially like the wood around the figure head. I see on the box the picture shows the figure head lion is a bright red. I won't be doin that. I will be painting it more the way you have done. Looks better. Hi, Ive used a few different approaches and experimentation. I recommend trying it on spare parts first before going onto your real ship. For the metal ornaments: I spray them black with a matte acrylic spraypaint. I get these 2,- a pop at a local Action store. Its a perfect base to then paint on with water based acrylic paints such as Valejo or Warhammer Citadel paints. I've written a tutorial here: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/8417-painting-tutorial-ornaments-cast-metal-parts/?p=249680 Basically start building up from a dark, subdued color, then slowly build up more highlights by drybrushing. Use inks/shades/washes to create shadows and a matte aged look. Bow wood: The wood on the bow was the light white bendy wood (dont know the english name) cause I had troubles bending the walnut. I used Nuln Oil wash from Citadel on it, 2 coats. It soaks into the wood and stains it, giving that deep, old, aged wood look. Mind that wood glue remnants are really visible, the ink wont do anything there. Railings wood: The wood here was walnut that I painted solid with Dryad Bark (Citadel color) acrylic paint. So I completely covered the natural wood. When dry I used a fine sanding paper to sand the edges, creating a "highlight effect" because the lighter original wood color pops through again. I hope this helps. Let me know if you want a step by step walkthrough with pictures!

S.Coleman Posted October 26, 2015 Share #81 Posted October 26, 2015 Thanks Chris, that is a big help. I will have to look into these Citadel paints. They seem good quality.

ChrisLinden Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share #87 Posted December 15, 2015 Hey guys I was away from the hobby for a while. Since I've made a big push on finishing the hull Here's a brief summary: Finished the lanterns on the stern Started adding the last deck furnishings for the rigging, gratings etc Started adding all the canon carriages Started adding the gunport hatches Small repairs here and there One thing I found particularly useful was adding a small nail into the back of the gunport hatches. This makes them easy to pick up and turn during painting. But the main reason was to add strength of fitting them onto the ship and ease of placement. I drilled tiny holes just above the gunports. Then put some glue on the hatch and stick the pin in. You don't have to hold them in place while drying. And they don't snap off so easily as just glueing them. I love it. Here's some pics of my progress.
