The newcomer "BowerBird" showcases the completed model
Hello, model friends of SOS. I'm "Bower Bird", a model player from Xinjiang, China. I'm 27 years old. Because my English proficiency is too poor, I'm Posting with a translator...
My modeling career began in the winter of 2020. Like many others, my first work was the Black Pearl, which was done very poorly at that time. In the second half of 2023, after removing the sail and all the ropes, it was redone. The second work is the Bian River passenger ship in the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", the third work is the Viking ship, the fourth work is the Swedish yacht, the fifth work is the Fu ship - Princess peace, the sixth work is the British Royal William yacht, the seventh work is the Egyptian square sailboat Amati, the eighth work is the HMS Enterprise, and the ninth work is a sailboat from Guangdong“shanzeng”. The tenth work is the Sopwith Camel biplane of the Air Road, which is not yet completed. Some relatively simple models were also made in the middle, such as the cruise ships on South Lake in Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province, the lotus Breeze Four-Faced Pavilion in the Humble Administrator's Garden in Jiangsu Province, and the gondolas in Venice.

I heard that this is the world's largest website for sailboat models, so I want to come here to find like-minded people. I have always been quietly making models by myself and haven't participated in any competitions. This is because Xinjiang is far from most of the places where model competitions are held, the transportation costs are very high, and I am very busy working at the substation, so I have no time to ask for leave to attend. I also post on domestic forums and have some friends, but I want to get to know some model makers from abroad and make progress together.
Thankyou
Here are some photos of the production process and from different angles
These are some pictures of the Black Pearl
These are some pictures of the passenger ships on the Bian River in the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival"
This is a Viking ship made during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021
These are three made simultaneously in 2023. At that time, the quality was not good either, and the paint surface was not very smooth，The bottom of the hull was not cut, and the covering of the hull was not done very well. It was covered with paint below
This is the manufacturing process of the Swedish yacht, the Fuchuan - Princess Peace and the British Royal William Yacht. At that time, the making of the sails was not very proficient, and there was no curvature at the bottom of the sails, which made them look unattractive. The sewing machine is not very good either, and the thread is not very beautiful.
These are some not very difficult models that can be completed within two days to a week.
This is a picture of the Egyptian square sailboat of Amati Company
This is a picture of the 1:96 HMS Enterprize from Model Dock Company. I made some modifications. The black parts on the hull and the handrails were all replaced with ebony, and many details were also done for the outfitting
This is the kit material for the Sopwith Camel fighter jet of Air Road Company. I made the propeller by combining cherry wood, boxwood, ebony, red ebony, black walnut and pear wood
It's not done yet. The guy wires between the two wings haven't been made yet
These are some pictures of the body making
This is the production process of the previous model
Here are some completed pictures
This boat was started to be made recently. Its plan is until next summer. I still tried to make its carving by myself with a lot of materials. There are still some details that are not perfect, and I will make corrections later
