Moarein Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Hello, everyone! I finally learned how to upload photos directly, so that I can bring to your attention my work on Batavia. The ship is an order from a friend of mine - years ago he made the hull and asked me to finish it. It has proved quite difficult for me to work on this scale, because the sailboats have many details, and it is difficult to show them accurately. However - I do what I can, and I think that it will be a decent ship: 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moarein Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 Thanks guys, I'm glad you like it! The sails of the main mast are ready. There are a few more adjustments before I get into the mizan mast. Generally, at this scale I must have to compromise with the thickness of the thread, because if I make them in scale thin, nothing will be seen 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moarein Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 The Sails are mounted. Anchors remain, a little deck rigging and a showcase. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlR Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Thank you for sharing these photos with us. What you've accomplished serves as an inspiration to continue my ship modeling but also clearly shows I've got such a long, long, long way to go to get anywhere near your level. Looking forward to your future posts... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moarein Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 The showcase is dry. For those who haven't done the showcase, I'll let myself share the steps. There is nothing complicated. I use glass - usually float glass with no anti-glare like anti-reflex etc. I don't like plexiglass because it's easy to scratch, turn yellow over time and is more expensive. This showcase measures 46x18x38 cm and costs around 6$v. The glass is 3mm thick. Thicker glass is of course used for larger showcases. You must say to the glass worker by cutting it NOT to smooth the edges, because then it is difficult to stick - it remains a joint. After the show case is dry, you can gently sand them down to prevent them from cutting. The rule is - the front and rear windows are front. They stick to the edge of the two sides. The showcase ceiling covers the front and back + both sides. Here are the steps; 1. Put the top glass on the table - on a newspaper at least 3 layers. 2. Glue the first side glass - backing it up with something that does not fall while gluing one of the large pieces - front or back. 3. Glue one of the two large pieces - either front or back at right angles with the side glued. So you already have 3 glued - the top, side and front glass. You can remove the support - silicone holds them, but still be careful 3. Glue the second side glass. 4. Glue the other large piece glass to the front or back. 5. Clamp with carpentry clamps carefully, if you do not have clamps, You can use tape I stick with plain transparent silicone. Allows corrections about 20 minutes after application. Full tightening - 24 hours. The silicone can cleaned with a scalpel. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moarein Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 The showcase is ready, it remains to be cleaned well. The frame is made of 1mm thick wenge veneer. Then sand with several types of sandpaper and apply 1 layer of brown linseed oil. When the oil dries, I will pass it again with Danish Oil finally. After this must be more cleaning The showcase is ready, it remains to be cleaned well. The frame is made of 1mm thick wenge veneer.

Orion Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Hello Moarein, The result of this "piece of plastic" shows that you can consider yourself as a master modeler. It looks stunning. For those, who are interested in sail ships, including the Batavia, this link could be useful. https://nautiek.nl/used-maritime-books/sail/?p=3 Highest Regards, Orion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
