Marisstella Cog 1:48

Now for the mast woolding.
After tapering the mast, I gave it a coat of mate lacker and started with the woolding.
As you can see, I used a piece of green tape to create an even separation in between each woolding .

 

[Bluebeard]

To start the woolding I held the beginning if the rope with a tape to have free hands to do the rest.

 

[Bluebeard]

Here you can see, I didn’t trimmed any of them until I finished all. This way I had a last minute adjustment to all.

 

[Bluebeard]

The top of the mast where the flag pole is attached gets a last minute cutting/filing work to accommodate a small woolding section.
By the way I used 50mm brown rope all throughout the woolding.
According to the kits box’s art, Zoran made this with black rope.
I don’t know but I used my artistic inclination and went with the brown.
I should put away that inclination in the closet and use my ship modeling mentality.

 

[Bluebeard]

Now to attach the crows nest and the mast.

 

[Bluebeard]

I just finished painting all of the horses for the ship stables.
Now I’m coloring the rest: barrels, sacs, water barrels, hay bales and boxes.

Hi this is a really nice looking model, it's not one I would have thought of to do myself but seeing the build logs I am very interested in making one. The horses look fantastic have they been named? well done.

[Bluebeard]

Thank You Tony.
Is mind-numbing to use so many colors in just one horse, and that is not counting the time gathering pictures of real horses.
Models are weird when it comes to what you and I like. What seams attractive to one is not for others,
This particular Cog capture my interest because is a very old vessel with, you might say, very outstanding looks.
So it will be the most ancient ship I have ever built.

 

[Bluebeard]

Oh, by the way, this is the mess that the horses left behind. LOL

 

[Bluebeard]

I couldn’t let them loose aboard, so I tight them down with a brittle.

wow, very empresiv

 

[Bluebeard]

Well, I just finished feeding all of my horses before the long trip.
It wasn’t easy to tie up all of them in place, they get a little restless when they see inside if the ship.
I also bought hay bales to feed them during the trip, all I need is to figure out how to create the manure. LOL

 

[Bluebeard]

I think I should bring this aboard.
Just in case....you know....for the horses.

 

[Tony H]

Fantastic job this ship is coming to life.

 

[Bluebeard]

Fantastic job this ship is coming to life.

Thank You Tony
I appreciate that.

 

[Bluebeard]

Now for the rest of the supplies needed for the trip.
I started to paint the barrels....one down and a few more to go.

This how a plain barrel looks like.

 

[Bluebeard]

Second step is to paint the metal rings .

 

[Bluebeard]

Third step is to give it some shadows and highlights.

 

[Bluebeard]

Final

 

[Bluebeard]

Sooo...let’s continued with the rest.
I have a long way to go.
Need LOTS of time and patience.
