Wintergreen Posted March 20, 2013 Share #31 Posted March 20, 2013 Thanks for following guys. Hi Hakan! Sven is not really my name but comes from the fact that I run a 1929 Austin Seven (S'ven) car.... I must like small things! Matt image.jpg figures...I thought it to be a wee bit odd for an pom to be named like that Quote Happy modelling!

Sven Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share #37 Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the encouragement. It really means a lot! Michael the stitching is there but cannot be see as the sails are furled!! The full suit is now installed and I am nervous about the rest of the running rigging!

Sven Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share #38 Posted March 26, 2013 (edited) Victory is a very convenient size! I am trying to decide how much more detail to add after the running rigging. I think I shall do solid ships boats and anchors but perhaps not the hammock netting. I had thought about copper Leaf underneath but I like the boxwood look Matt Edited March 26, 2013 by Sven IgorSky, lb0190 and aykutansin 3 Quote Matt Current build Royal yacht Britannia - bottle - 1:500 scale http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/2299-royal-yacht-britannia-1893-bottle-scale-1500/ HMS Victory 1:600 scale http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/882-hms-victory-by-sven-1600-scale/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sven Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share #40 Posted March 30, 2013 Thanks Michael. You are too kind! I really think I am only starting out. I am finding the running rigging quite tough and I regret not planning ahead more with suitable fixing points on hull and spars. A lesson for next time! I acquired a new toy today from Aldi supermarket (!) a small adjustable vice on a vacuum mount. Just the job for getting the angle right for tensioning. I can see many more days on this stage of the work Matt lb0190, aykutansin and IgorSky 3 Quote Matt Current build Royal yacht Britannia - bottle - 1:500 scale http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/2299-royal-yacht-britannia-1893-bottle-scale-1500/ HMS Victory 1:600 scale http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/882-hms-victory-by-sven-1600-scale/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share #41 Posted March 31, 2013 Oh dear, two steps back!! I was getting unhappier as I progressed with the running rigging and decided that I should start again I have removed the white silk and shall start again with fine black. The white was too stark and the ship will look better with a more limited palette of materials Matt IgorSky 1 Quote Matt Current build Royal yacht Britannia - bottle - 1:500 scale http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/2299-royal-yacht-britannia-1893-bottle-scale-1500/ HMS Victory 1:600 scale http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/882-hms-victory-by-sven-1600-scale/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtaylor Posted April 1, 2013 Share #43 Posted April 1, 2013 Matt, While the rigging looked fantastic, you're the Captain.

Sven Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share #48 Posted April 4, 2013 Thanks for the kind words!

SailorGreg Posted April 7, 2013 Share #55 Posted April 7, 2013 Hi Matt, I have to tell you I'm really looking forward to the bit where you add the ratlines. Are you planning to do clove hitches at each junction, or will you take the easy route and just glue them? But seriously - great work and a lesson to us all on what can be achieved with a little material and a great deal of skill and inspiration. Thanks for sharing.

DSiemens Posted April 8, 2013 Share #56 Posted April 8, 2013 Matt - You should submit one or two of the reflection photo's to the calendar deal. I think they have a good chance of making it.

jarero Posted April 8, 2013 Share #58 Posted April 8, 2013 Absolutely amazing work! I have never seen any wood modeling done at this scale before. You say this is you just getting back into it for the first time since you were a kid? If you keep this up you might get accused of bringing in a ringer!
