Wishing you a happy birthday
Hallo @Alexander74I am starting a new project. The same customer provided me with a job again.
This will be the VICTORI model by Deagostini magazines.
The project is long-term, therefore, for a long time.
I will try to make a decent model out of it.
So, let's begin.
A day late - Sasha. Happy Birthday (to my favorite Victory Modeler) hope you had an awesome day. Cheers GrantMy friends, thank you for your congratulations. I will take into account all your wishes and will try to continue to build ship models and share my experience with you.
Daniel, hi. in fact, everything is quite banal. Blanks for the mast are octagonal. They are made by Sergey (Bibigon). From the bottom of the rail, I increased a little, and on the top, on the contrary, I stood a little and made an octahedron under a cone. Most of all you have to mess with the bram and bom-bram topmast. They are made from the same tree. First you need to make a square, then an octahedron, then a round part with a narrowing, then an octagon under a cone, again a square, again a round part. And at the end there is a cloak for a flag halyard. Here is such a motley design and all on one blank.Beautiful clean work Sasha! Especially the hand hewn octagonal at the mast tops and base.
Paul, so for this, in fact, I am leading this thread on the forum. I share my experience, but I myself do not forget to learn from the masters.As always, Sasha, your craftmanship is exemplary! Lots to be learned from you! Thank you for posting this build on the forum.
WELL DONE, MATEHi all. And those who leave comments, and those who just drop in to see. Today I finally finished the copper plating of the left side (upper 12 belts). I had to redo it a little - there was an error in the markup. I'll show you everything later. But today is not about that. In parallel with the sheathing, I am engaged in the manufacture of spars. Made 3 topmasts and a forbram topmast. The total fore length was 73 cm. The mainsail will be slightly longer. General view on 1 photo. Further, some details and elements of the spars. I haven't finished all the details yet, so for now it's an intermediate stage.
