The Glory of Catherine, 66-gun sailing ship, by Mr.Deep [COMPLETED BUILD]

[Vfordyce]

Hello Vic. Yes, I did almost everything myself. I bought a decorative baguette at a hardware store. I took a wooden furniture shield. I covered it with artificial leather, fixed it with a stapler. Then in the art workshop, where they make picture frames, they cut a baguette at an angle of 45 degrees. Everything was connected with staples and voila, it's done. I sawed the props on a jigsaw machine. Processed with a grinder. Painted. Secured with screws.

Nicely done.

So I decided to show in more detail how I make a stand for the model. There is nothing complicated. The main thing is to put your hands. The holders themselves have not yet decided what to do.

Andrey, judging by the size of the stand, the cap is not provided?

No Sasha.There's nowhere else to keep the case at home.And so the heavy construction turns out.Periodically I clean with a brush soaked in water.

Thanks for sharing this, Andrey!

 

[Heinrich]

This is just beautiful work Andrey! E Slava Katerina looks superb, and the stand is "gloriously" made.

 

[Mr.Deep]

A small update. Between the works in the garden, I managed to make masts, masts, topmasts. I will install it on the model soon.

Pretty flowers. Looks like you have vegetables growing too. And I like your masts. I noticed your wooldings go across the side slats.

We live half a world away from one another...still we share some of the same plantings. Lovely garden.

And if-they would have tried their strawberries, raspberries, cherries.And then they ate their tomatoes, cucumbers, sweet peppers.We grow everything ourselves, without dangerous chemicals.And there is still enough time to build ships.And the ships are being built more cheerfully, more diligently.

 

[Mr.Deep]

My garden-grown masts have found a new place for themselves. So far, only fitting. Over the past 2 days, I have made a bowsprit with an outrigger. On the tops of the masts I put the lights of the mast-hoists. And also put on several pairs of shrouds. And yes, good news. Looks like I found the future owner of the model of this ship. An order for the finished model was received upon completion of construction.

Beautiful ship and craftsmanship. Congratulations.

 

[Mr.Deep]

Oh, and it's hard work, installing and pulling the rigging. A very big load for the eyes. But we don't give up.

Andrew, did you have trouble with the photo? All photos are blurry

I didn't write about the eyes for nothing. This is how I roughly see my model without glasses and optics.

 

[Heinrich]

The new owner is going to receive one beautiful-looking and impressive ship!

The deadeyes have grooves in them, just like real ones do. Did you get the deadeyes in the kit? Or did you buy them separately?

Hi Vic. I'm building a model from scratch, in case you forgot. Dead eyes and bought ones. But I had to refine them. Make grooves, grind, expand holes. That's about the process. I will also show you how to make a vаnt-putens. Damn translator. In short, under the Mars platform. Hooks 3.5 mm. Cable 0.3mm.
