IonAguirre Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Really, really nice models. Aracno, may be it's not on your plans, but those Frigates had a Keel shoe for making the submerged "Lateral area" deeper. The addition of that part added a better counter drift effect. May be that's why you see the shape a little bit wrong. Anyway, just a great model.
IonAguirre Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Im working on a Radio Control Sloop. Still at the mechanics and electronics stage and only the keel and some frames are done for the hull work. I'll post pics when I have more than some aluminum rails and servo arrangement. About the question for 3D modellers. I'd not say Im an artist, as none of my models have nothing from myself. All I've done is suited for Technical/Historical research, hence are built from original plans (when available) and able for CFD and technical analisys. Its more a matter of how the ships behave, and how they were built, than of how they look like, albeit I try to make them (from the looking point of view) as similar as the original, as documentation allows for.
Mirones Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 i am thinking of buying a brig next from the side i got my kit for experimenting. but current job issues prevent me from investing time into it.

There are several mistake in the model due to mine inexperienced, but I have studied a lot during the last months, I will apply what learned for the next model. This model will be a gift for my stepfather, but i want to rebuild the Unicorn in the future, after the Diana and the Alert, this time following the real ship plans and applying what I learned working on this model ship.
mouse of war Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Any 3D artists in here? Well, not counting the employees Talk to Ragnar Hairytrousers (the original one)
mouse of war Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Fill the bath tub with an expoxy sea, and mount the model in it. Not forgetting to take the kid out first
Arvenski Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 Saw a Bellona model in a hobby shop today. Temptation, temptation...
Mirones Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 Saw a Bellona model in a hobby shop today. Temptation, temptation...i know dat feel http://www.hobbiesguinea.es/en/corel-models/3151-corel-models-sm54-hms-bellona-1760-74-guns-british-warship-770-mm-length.html shiping from that site is quick 4-8 days international. prizes are to low if you take into account that every thing is in that kit (except sometimes the sails like that bellona kit) turned brass cannons, Iron cast figures, pre made wood shapes and parts. there are some cheap models for 50-200 euro for first try. bro tip number evry part befor cutting it out of the plate. plenty of British and US ships dutch and french are very low numbers but some very sweet spanish ones. maybe you want to go for an 1.35meter long Surprise? or the consti 1.11m. our Trinidad 1m
jaumefalco Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Hola Soy recién llegado, y me entusiasman los buques de guerra del siglo XVII y XVIII ahora estoy construyendo una maqueta del Santísima Trinidad quiero subir fotos de los planos y la maqueta pero no se como hacerlo ...
Mirones Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 will do some more work on my HMS Prince this weekend.
B24LIBERATOR Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 I didn't build this model but I did repaint a lot of it (the original paint scheme was poorly done). 2
Mirones Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 thats an very nice on actually. if you want to get your hand on a Kit like me there are some for around 50ish euros for practise. its very relaxing and gives you another option when you are siting infron of your steam libary not knowing what to do with himself for hours. 1

I build plenty of models, most of them not being ship related though (although I've built a few plastic ship models). Here is a semi-scratchbuilt one I made for a display. I'm big on trains and 1/72 scale WWI birds. I keep eyeballing ship kits though, I'd really like to build an old side-wheeler steamship. 2
Mirones Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 the side i buyed mine got an Paddleboat that you could try to fit an working steam engine in:Phttp://www.hobbiesguinea.es/en/constructo-naval-modelling/2652-constructo-80840-robert-e-lee-mississippi-steam-liner-640-mm-length.html or http://www.hobbiesguinea.es/en/12008-talhoer-20151-vanguard-1841-wood-paddle-tug-boat-723-mm-length.html new progress from today: and showing the detailed manual that comes with the kits.
Loukhaashj Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) Yaaar pirate removel unit with extra 20 cannons and copper armor (original plans hms president) Edited November 15, 2015 by Mirones 1
Loukhaashj Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 http://imgur.com/370O7G0 http://imgur.com/pgJefno Inserted cannons and stern finish and the thingies for the ropes
Loukhaashj Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Took me one year only to do the both layers of the hull planking ^^
Mirones Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 looks nice. i hope the enxt planks wont be a mess like the first ones sinc ei know got a better place for the clamps
Loukhaashj Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 What i did was to wet the planks with saliva a then bend themand glue, but they where planks of 3x1mm and 3x0,5mm so maybe with you they are 5mm wide i guess?
