Imperial yacht Uvalen by Falconet in 1:48 [COMPLETED BUILD]

[Uwek]

Looking very good - good idea with your finger for comparison the size - or you use an oversized dummy-finger
But to be serious - very good work, especially in this scale it is not easy to work accurate like you do

 

[Walterone]

I've got an unexpected idea - to simulate furnishing of the cabin. I don't think it would be clearly visible through the skylight, but however.

 

[Walterone]

The cockpit bitts. They require some working to fit in their places.

 

[Namabiiru]

I was painting the cabin of mine the other day and wondered about furnishing, as you have. I like what you did.

I also like your idea of wrapping the hull in clear plastic wrap to protect the paint job. That's another idea of yours I plan to steal.

 

[Walterone]

That's another idea of yours I plan to steal.

No problem, you're welcome

 

[Walterone]

Other waterways and staircases.

The deck-houses (or better deck-boxes? ) The colors are slightly different, because the deck is not oiled yet.

Hi, Walterone. Your build is looking so neat and clean compared to mine. Are the deck boxes glued in place yet? I think the hole for chimney is supposed to be in the aft corner of that box. I accidentally glued part J159 upside down (in the same position you have it) before i realized my mistake.

You're absolutely right. I made the same mistake as you did. Now it's fixed.

Thank you Grant!

The skylight in my opinion is the most complicated part of the kit. Since the cabin furnishing will be visible, I decided to assemble the skylight without its massive internal structure:



The result is not so neat, but there also must be glass inside and a metal grating outside, I hope they cover it.

 

[Uwek]

you prepared a very good basis for the skylight structure - it will be the "highlight" of the deck

I hope so, thanks!

More colors...
The original museum model of the Uvalen has a golden stripe along the gunwale, so I decided to paint it too. And I also colored white the inner side of the skylight.

Thank you Frank, I appreciate it. Grazie mille.

The ship and deck structures are looking good, and when fully oiled I image they will all be close in matching color and look.

Thank you, and yes, that's the idea.
