Santisima Trinidad Cross-Section 1:90 OcCre - Second Build

[RussF]

Not only do the belay pins seem too big, I thought that eight of them together was a great number for the space on each bulkhead. Part of thing I wonder is since it is a cross-section have more pins been pushed into a smaller space for one mast of rigging. Guess I will find out in a couple of weeks when I start the rigging.

Perhaps. We'd have to see the full ship rigging plan to know for sure.

Günther,

Guess those spots do look like fingerprints. That is a few spots where I got heavy-handed with the black wash I used for aging the ship.

Hey Rebus,

ah, I see. Thanks for the answer.
cheers

Rebus, you model looks great. I especially liked how you veneered over the outer frames. I really dislike the use of plywood in most kits.

I wonder how OcCre expects people to belay a line, let alone hang a coil, on those enormous belaying pins. Perhaps you could rig her with dental floss?

The veneer was fun to add. I saw a couple of other people who did the same and I could not think of doing it without adding the veneer. Wasn't as hard to do as i thought it might be. I am glad that I took the time to do it that way, because it adds so much.

When A.L.'s Anatomy of Victory came out, I thought it was pretty awesome ... at first ... and then I looked at some of the close-ups and saw how many of the "visible" parts showed raw plywood edges - you know - the kind that paint won't even cover up, and just shook my head and said, "Nope!"

Rebus, this model looks fantastic. I had never been interested in doing a cross section model, but after seeing yours, I may rethink that. Love the aged look on̈ your decks, especially the way you left the plank ends raggedy. Keep up the great work.
