Cooperation in the construction of models of sail ships.

The main source of technical information on the boat at an early stage of construction was a drawing from the monograph of the French admiral Francois-Edmond Paris.

It was interesting for the customer to build a collective image of a boat from this region. With emphasized and highlighted characteristics of the craft work. But with the preservation of the feeling that the model is built taking into account the traditions of constructing the model, it is not an artistic subject. In this project, one more person has been involved _ Vladislav Zhdan, Moscow. He made a stylistic drawing of the model "mulet" for the realization of the intended goals of the project.

To implement the project, I collected information on this boat long enough and carefully. I even went to Lisbon and visited the Maritime Museum of this city. Based on all this aggregate information, I began to build a model.

​

That's how the body of the model began.

I hope that a new theme update will be useful.

Very interesting construction method

Very good and accurate work! What technique you have used to weather\varnish the deck. It looks really realistic!

Good afternoon, colleagues. This is a combination of wood species and the substance used to process the wood. A tree is an apple tree. The substance is ferrous sulfate, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Сульфат_ж% D0% B5% D0% BB% D0% B5% D0% B7% D0% B0 (II) When the apple tree is treated with an aqueous solution of this substance, the tree darkens. Then the tree needs to be processed with sandpaper. To achieve the desired effect of scuffs. When re-soaking this area of the tree with water, the tree darkens again.

Many thanks for the detailed explanations.

The planking is looking extremely realistic - the treenails and also the grain of the planking - which kind of timber / wood is it?

 

[navymast]

All visible details on the model are made of apple tree.

...brilliant, it doesn't have to be a tree-decker with the numbers of cannons, and gold gilded decor to look gorgeous! Many thanks for sharing.

Both there and there have their own aesthetics, beauty and complexity. A model is an interior item. What the owner of this interior needs to get from this item - this determines the choice of model.
