    I passed a little bit this point of the evolution 🦖 😆

    Ahoy, old sailors. Continuing the mounting, I finished the keel planks; starting to glue one end of the board next to the hull, I was gluing the rest of the plank to stern. Later, I was glue other plank, next the first, and I was glue the piece to bow. In this images I was gluing the plank into the end of the keel; finaly I cut off the excess (in the last image). Later I glued the second plank, starting on the edge of the bow (image 1), and repeating the previous process (images 2, 3 and 4) In the bow, I was gluing dry banana leaves, with lighter shades of color (the otherside of the leaves) to the outside, and with different direction. After dry, I cut the excess to get the correct shape. In the stern I built the planks, like the sequence images, gluing one by one, and cutting the excess. In the last image, one of my tools, a blade attached in a body pen, very tecnologic, like the banana leaves 🙊!

    New updates. I built the bow wall, Using lots of "wood planks" (banana leaves) strips, I was gluing according the internet images. I started with the square in the first photo; later I was gluing more strips, with white glue, using a pointed tool; In the center I do the bowstrips hole; on the right is the result. 😫 Here I was building the capitain cabin. All made with cardboard (sorry by the "doble" - is double - shame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). On the right both, I made some reinforcements, that I use to attach cardboard pieces. On the left the pieces attached; On central picture I made the front wall of the cabin. On right I cut off the windows shape. The cabin windows have lattice. to make it, I use tranparent plastics and sewing thread; I glued the thread with superglue, in a edge (in the first image); later I glued in the other side, also with superglue and I cut the excess (second image); in sequence I glued threads orthogonaly, like the first, I cuted the excess and glued the piece on the inner side of the cabin. (I hope this is cleare...🤔) With the pieces ready, I cut to do with correct size; I painted th interior with black paint; this serves to make the interior dark. I mounted the cabin pieces in the place and I do the expand part that projects backward, all with cardboard and using the internal reinforcements. The rear windows were made same the others. Et Voilá ma bateau (mon amies, c'est correct???🫣.

    Ahoy, Faraway. I realy know how you felling! I have some (maybe lots...?) models abandoned. But I have some models that I finished after YEARS. I have a Disney Wall-E scratchbuilt, has abandoned overten years; and I finished it two years ago. Well, a brazilian cannot teach a British the meaning of Keep calm and Carry On. By the way I learned this from the British. 😀. So, Keep Calm and Keep Mounting (others models, if your wish! 😁.)

    New update in my mounting. I made the stern hull planks, gluing one by one. The stern bulwark needed pieces over it, to do the curved edge that I forget to plan. More planks glued. In the right the bulwark curve are ready and all planks are in place. Here we have the capitain cabin wall. I cut one card to do the wall; later I glued the planks. There are four windows. I cut four tranparent plastics square; they will the glass. So, I cut and glued some banana leaves strips to do the window frame. After the windows ready, I painted the inner side of the plastic, to makeit dark. And I hated the result, but the piece have FOUR MILLIMETERS! 😬, and my glasses was dirty, and I was lazy. 😉 The central door was made with a cardboard piece, with "bananas glued over it" 🙈! Later I made the door frames. And the cabin wall are ready. The windows are "filth", like some Microsoft products (🙊 sorry Bill Gates, but some products realy horribles). Well, this is we can for now!

    We fight with the weapons that we have!. In bananas republic, we fight with... bananas... or coconuts, if we have it!

    More mounting. The structure hull is ready, with the bulwark with corretc shape? (Is it correct? The walls over the decks, to protect the crew to do not fall in sea?) In the bow deck I used depron to raise the height. Card pieces was glued to prolong the bulwark. So, I mounted the bow deck and I started building the hull planks. First I mounted the inner planks, in the bulwark Later I started mounting the hull planks. I was glued one by one, gluing an end before; after dry, I was glue the rest. You see that I cut off the excess of the inner planks in the bulwark. In the stern the outside planks still with excess. and the process continues... and never ending... 😬. Oh Lord! to make the hull bottom I glued some cardboards to reinforce the structure; it was soft and there was a depression when I squeezed it. After I sanded. To continue the planks, I glued those that stay in the keel. Here I cut off the excess of the planks in the stern. Here you see how I glue the planks, starting in an end, and gluing the rest after the glue dry. And the result. Realy I liked. But was a hard work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi, fellas. I started the hull and decks planks. I saw a guy in Youtube building a HMS Victory scratch with cardboard, like me. But to made the planks he use dry banana leaves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😶. Well, if he can, we maybe can. I live in a bananas republic, and the bananas growhup in the alphalt (🤥), with the monkeys jumping between then (😁). Realy, my neighbor have some babanas trees. And this is an advantage of living in a tropical country, and this I love in Brazil: fruits, vegetables, bean, rice, all fresh!!!! Sometimes my wife and I (yes, I married yet... I think) buy beans directly from the farmer - live in a small city help! I take the leaves and I wait dry. Was raining and the leafs was wet. Look the pattern of stains... this will a good result. After dry. I put the leaves under a wooden plank and a lot of weight on the plank, to . To my delight it didn't work, and the leaves remained wrinkled. Finally I glue the leaves in A-4 paper using white glue, using a piece of plastic to smooth the leaves while the glue dried. I think that is good! I cutting lots and lots of strips, 1,5 mm more and less. I glues the "banana planks" in the decks (in this case is the stern deck). The excess will cut off later. The stear deck ready with the mast hole. And the bow deck started; look that I cut off the hatch, and I glued the planks to match with the hatch edge. In Brazil we say that "isso é serviço de preso!" (this is prisioner work), a boring work, repetitive. But I liked the result The main deck 😫. I went as far as I could; at a certain point I couldn't see anything else!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its was time to rest!

    Hy Steve. I actually have the model assembled a little bit advanced, but editing the images and thinking of an explanation (in english... british english 🧐) that is at least didactic takes time. Dont forguet that I was born and live in Third World, in a Latin American Bananas Republic - governed early by a antivax, and now by a condemned corrupted, both supporting a tyrant that invades another country - I want political refuge, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😫.

    Thanks, Rob. Realy scratch is a challenge: escolher o material que melhor se adapta para o que desejamos fazer é uma peripécia; além disso, são muitas tentativas e erros (muitos erros). And lets go for more mounting! I increased the resolution of the images for better viewing. Here I build the hull, using thin cardboard. Each card strip was glued between two foam frames, with eva/foam glue. When I noticed that the shape of frame was wrong I sanded it. The card strips were glued one on the edge to the other; "If a place was no cardboard" (I realy dont speak this... 🤐), I glued a card strip there. .I placed the main and top decks in theis places to cut the hull in th correct local. The hole is the place of the main mast. The stern will cuted later. The hull was sanded.

    I love soft rock. Actually, some songs of my playlist are by Bread. My older brothers listened to this band when I was a child; so, the affective memories that arise are an explosion of emotions.

    I make aircraft in 1/100 scale. I love WWI and I've done several. Always I had dificult to do the aircarft cables - a problem that tired me. Once a time, during a chat in a modelism event, a old guy (realy old, over 70 year old - and modelling!) tell me that him wore sewing thread. Use polyamide sewing thread; unravel and separate the strands that are braided and use a filament; run superglue along the filament and wait for it to dry, using fine sandpaper to remove any ruffled microfilaments. To "installing" the cables I make holes in the places where the cable passes; I insert the cable into one of the holes and glue it with superglue; once dry I insert the last end into the other hole and apply sole again, holding the line in place for a few seconds. It's kind of difficult, but with some practice it's possible to get good results. This is the result on a model of a Morane-Saulnier Type L 1/100 scale that, supposedly (according to my research 🤔), was piloted by Rolland Garros. this is the result on a model of a ship that supposedly, according to my research, was from Rolland Garros. I hope help you!

    Ahoy, Ambrose. The stern was make with a cardboard with the shape and glued in the foam. After dry, I cut the shape and glued in the central structure/keel; in the piece I cut a groove to adapt in the keel.

    Thanks Steve. I'm glady with your words! The mounting under classic jazz, like Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Glenn Miller and Henry Mancini help! 😉

    Mounting sequence! I started the mounting of frames in the central structure/keel, using EVA glue. Between the frames I glue pieces of foam to give resistance. At that time I realized that I needed remove the cardboards glued in the frames, to be able to sand the foam properly., and to give the shape of the hull. I see that the frames had flaws. To resolve this, I glued foam strips in the places with errors. Frames sanded I cuted a spáce to the deck hatches; and glue the ster wall, made of foam. Finaly, I cut the main deck, and I cut the hatches. To test if it are correct, I positioned the piece in its place. In this image is possible see better the frame sanded.

    Hi, Ambrose. Realy I dont use the translator to "freame" (thanks for help! 😀). I think that the google dont translate correctly. So I write with the wrong word... 😁. In Brazil we say "Dei uma de João sem braço" (I'm played like a John without an arm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤣 - I love traslate popular expressions, they are horrible. We use this expression when we do something even though we know it is wrong. And this is something that Brazilians often do, unfortunately.

    Ahoy, Old Saiolors. After a long, long time, I return to modellers activities (with my google translate english... I always liked warsails, and a desire is the HMS Victory. But the size (70 meters, high is to much, for now...). I made my model in scratch in 1/100 scale, mainly aircraft. And the stuborn (is correct?, Who doesnt guive up?) insists with the scale. However the sails are always in my mind. So, in these days I rewacht the Pirates of the Caribbean, and the Black Pearl appeared... Oh my Lord... It was a passion. I go to the net and search a lots of images. The plans was difficult, because there are many, but the drawing that I found have poor details. Patiente, lets go anyway! The model was planned in 1/200 scale. Yes... I know... I could make the Victory in this scale. But the details... 😬 I'm crazy, but not like that! the "real" Black Pearl is 55 meters, more or less. inclued the bowstrip (my nautics knowledge is "google dependent"). The materials are mainly paper, cardboard, foam, skewers, whiteglue and superglue. This is the plans that I used. I cut the central structure and glued it in double cardboad. I was the same with the deck. In this case I already cut off the excess cardboard. Now a doubd. In portuguese, these parts are named "cavernas" (caves, in literal translation), I dont know in english. The pieces are glued in foam. Later, I cut the pieces. Finally I cut the parts fittings (I hope this correct).

    Fantastic! This reminded me the sci-fi old series, like UFO and Space:1999. Very nice!
  25. adolfocaetanonetto
    I'm slow in mounting because, I cuted my finger when I was cocking...🤕. Dont give a kinfe to him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This stupid old man will hurt yourself! Oh boy, but soon I return more photos!
