Xenol Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 My first ever foray into ship modelling! Lots of mistakes made, and a few disasters both major and minor, but overall I am happy with how this turned out. The base is obviously a but rough, but I very much consider this build a prototype for the future! I may come back some day in the future to flesh out the rigging and clean up the base but for now (for my own sanity and due to time commitments with work) It's staying how it is! Build thread Lifeboats hung from derricks using Caenis line –– bloody fiddly! 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenol Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 A little WIP shot of the mast fully rigged before I promptly dropped it and broke it. I did actually fully re-rig it, but while setting up my lights to photograph one fell over and squashed it again! I couldn't be ars🤬d reglueing all the halyards a third time so made do with the minimum. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Looks good ,you have done very well for a novice ship modeler . As is often said you live and learn, and in modelling its very true .I am sure you will build another ship after a while, well done 👏. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adm Lord De Univers Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Beautiful build, seabase is amazing too. Sorry to hear about the mast tribulations, I've found this stuff only happens with those creations that are the most stunning, but come back to it after a bit of a break (but I actually quite like the look of her how it is now).

Chewbacca Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Lovely; I do especially like the effect of the swell on the sea. Shame about the mast as the original rigging was first class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
