HMS GRANADO - full hull - POF kit by CAF in 1:48 - by Uwe

[Uwek]

Many thanks to all your comments and hints. A great help
And I will keep these "tubes" in mind, but I have my doubts, that these would work on my model, because of the angle



In this sketch I marked the position of the hawse holes and the direction parallel to the ship-axis. - I think this is correct - we discussed this in some other topics in the past.
This makes it clear, that the bulge at the end(s) of the tube shall not be rectangle to the axis of the tube....

some small more progress with installing the small beams etc.


The bowsprit is a dummy only to get a feeling



















Many Thanks for your interest - to be continued .....

I am open for all comments and hints, negative and positiv - especially also related to the question of the hawse holes (which are already drilled off course

 

[Kurt Konrath]

What do you use for the Red coloring of wood, an ink or paint?

 

[dockattner]

Always a pleasure to see your work Uwe! In another build report the hawse holes were lined with aluminum film and then painted to resemble lead. I'm not sure how easy it would be to shape the film to give a perfectly round profile on the inside and outside...

I use it often. I got a tape rol of aluminium film. It is used for industrial isolation. The glue is very strong.

Hi Uwe,

The red on the winch looks a little pink, it could be the picture but if not it is maybe an idea to give it a dilluted wash with bitumen.

 

[Nomad]

Nice work Uwe. I really like the look of all the wood on your Granado

 

[Uwek]

Hallo Kurt,
I am using the watercolours from ecoline most often the brush pens

Hi Uwe,

Hallo Maarten,
you are right - but by 80% it seems to be the artificial lights - in real the colour is more dark and is closer to the red colour on some contemporary cross sections


the same model, but different light situation





Here is the splittmodel built by Lightley - Pinky like mine



It is hard to find the correct colour, especially if you have only photos of other models - I do not like painting my models

 

[Uwek]

some small progress with some planking







in the center and the other side I will leave some areas open





it was also necessary to prepare the chimney in order to fix the wooden hatch











Many Thanks for your interest .... to be continued

Good afternoon. Wow that chimney is superb. Just outstanding detail on this build. Cheers Grant

 

[shota70]

very nice progress

 

[Kurt Konrath]

I would assume the shield on front of chimney exhaust is to keep things from falling in?

 

[AnobiumPunctatum]

Really nice details.

 

[dockattner]

That chimney exhaust is first-class Uwe. Brilliant modeling!

 

[Nomad]

Very nice deck planking Uwe, and the trenails looks spot on

 

[Bryian]

Excellent work Uwe.

Detail work very quickly. The open areas come into their own.
