HMS Druid 1776 stern cross section in scale 1/128 by Dubz Modelling World

[Dubz Modelling World]

Thank you very much Kurt, Christian, Roger, Peter & the likes It appreciate i very much

Upper deck done. I recognized too late that it is a bit to high on port side ... damn ...

However, it must also be said that the kit makes a lot of mess in this area. If you were to build it exactly to specification, the upper deck would end up in the windows. I have to improvise a lot and try to conceal it. It doesn't have that much to do with the Druid in this area :-D

Next will be the wales.

cheers

I love this build!

I suppose it wouldn't take much of an error in design to create a significant deviation at this scale...

Good morning Dirk. An example of micro mastery. Brilliant. Cheers Grant

Thank you again Paul, Grant and the likes. Very much appreciated

It took a little while to check out how to do the next steps, but here we go

I found some leftover ebony and used it to build the wales. The kit called for doubled strips in an ugly brown, but I didn't want that after all. The gaps are not perfect, ebony is quite tricky to bend but I think it fits ok.

I might put a few more planks on one side under the wale, but I still have to see how exactly

I am not happy with the "decorations" on the transom, ugly wood, the lines are noch good. I have to check if there's a better solution.

cheers

Very inspiring work, Dirk. Thanks to your posts this model and the middle section are now much higher on my list of next builds. But that will take ’some time’. First completing my current build the next year(s).
Regards, Peter

A little update end of the year. I found out the whales are a bit to high, one more plank should have been there .. bit frustrated but will not change it ...

Did some more details

Starboard got the sheer rail, port might get the timberheads shown and I did the channels (not part of the kit though .. wonder why ..) and some moulding strips

cheers

I always admire the work...and then I see you hold the entire thing in your finger-tips and my jaw drops to the floor... Inconceivable.
