Axel Thorsen 1810 in scale 1/72 build by Dubz Modelling World

[Dubz Modelling World]

I started some smaller parts like the guns. I also added the scuppers. (unfortunately one went to "high" ... hmpf)

It almost goes without saying that some parts were not listed in the instructions or are completely missing. The entire cannon mechanism still needs a lot of attention. I will also try to build the ball bearing (once I have suitable balls).

And don't trust lasered lines ... I got four identical side panels instead of two pairs facing each other... great... deconstruction ...

Not sure about coloring yet but have a tendency to do the gun carriages ochre.

The scuppers

I like the shape of the hull

cheers

Dirk

[Dubz Modelling World]

Merry Christmas to all my Modeling Friends. Hopefully next year will be a better year for the world ... !

 

[dockattner]

To you as well, Dirk! I hope you have a great holiday with family and friends.

Is there something wrong with the world?

Starting some smaller parts: the guns! Man-O-Man: those 2 are filling the bow and aft! But you are doing a nice job, Dirk.

Thank Peter, Pauls and the likes I hope you all have a great Christmas time

The hatch covers in the kit were made from a single piece, and some parts of the large hatch had been laser-cut away, which was not acceptable, so the covers were now made in separate pieces. Additional PE parts were added, as well as the anchor bollards on the deck and a few eye bolts. So, lots of small parts to avoid doing the upper handrail :-D

cheers

Excellent results, as always! By the way, I check your forum from time to time, especially your cutter; it's excellent. I see we're very similar in how we present and retain information. You show everything in such detail, with 100,500 photos, just like me.

 

[RogerD]

Beautiful work Dirk. Sergey is right your detailed presentation is excellent. All the best for 2026.

 

[Dubz Modelling World]

Thank you Roger and Sergey!

Yepp ... I love to try to document small steps.

Glad you like my cutter


All the best for 2026 too.

And another airbrush session, I got admirality colors yellow ochre and sprayed the gun carriages and else. Danish gunboats often used this color so why not a Norwegian Dane boat.

The deckhouse got the glas and the pe parts and more eyebolts were installed.

cheers

Dirk

 

[dockattner]

This is all coming along very nicely. Great job, Dirk.

[dockattner]

There are some nice details in this kit! Best wishes for the new year, Dirk!

 

[Dubz Modelling World]

Thank you Paul! Best wishes for you and your family too.

I like to use micro rivets in that case it were nice, that the holes of the PE parts are fully etched etched and no nail "imitation" etched.

 

[Bela]

But Mr. Dubz - The cannon barrels have no touch holes!

 

[Dubz Modelling World]

I need to convivence "somebody" ;-) next year to do me better 3D printed ones, there is also the ring at the quoin (cascabel) missing ... :-D

 

[Dubz Modelling World]
