thanks! Haha, it's been standing in natural light for a few days now, and I noticed a few figurines that need a slight touch up :-p I still have to find out which light works best for painting

thanks, glad that you like the results and that the videos were helpful. Do yoy have pictures of your model available? I'd love to see your work

@@martijnonderwater Yes I do!! I will send them! I admit I am somewhat embarrassed that is not as good. It was my first one.

thanks! And yes, I could try adding a bit of movement to the flag. I tried this with two other models, but didn't like the results. Any tips on how to do it?

@@martijnonderwater si le drapeau est en tissu, le tremper dans de l'eau et de l'amidon, laisser sécher en lui donnant la forme désirée.

awesome, I'll try that next time! Any ideas for synthetic fiber (my flag isn't made of cloth I think)

thanks, I'm pretty happy about it!

ooh nice, have fun! Yes, it's been around for a while. I built mine 30 years ago. I think the model is still for sale, btw

thanks Greg! It's a nice model, all in all

thanks Andrew!

Thanks! So they're called 'ratlines' 👍

thanks Greg, I'm looking forward to the final result

thanks!

thanks, I'll try that

That is a good idea. Up to now i first tapered, and then cut it to size. Usually the wood is longer then you need anyway.

glad to hear you liked it!

thanks, good idea!

I can relate to that :-) I'm making the spars at the moment.

thanks, this is a great suggestion!

@@martijnonderwater Hoy, it's worth a try. I build large scale models and it works just fine on large scale. Your idea of the copper tape is excellent. I will definitely use that on everything smaller than 1/32nd. Thank you for the advice.

you're welcome!

Nice work. Making good progress 😀

thanks! Yes, it's going well :-)

Hi! This model is called Pilar, by a company called Constructo. It's widely available I think, so try your local hobby store.

Hi Martin, ah that Fokker looks like a nice project! This is my first cross section, but I've made about 10 models prior to this. A few have videos here, and I have pictures of most on the Ships of Scale forum.

Thanks Greg! I can't comment on Corel 's instructions. This kit is ancient:-) I'm massively behind on your videos btw

@@martijnonderwater all good 👍

Hi, great to hear that you like the model :-) I bought my ship 30 years ago, so I'm not sure what changes have been made to the model. But Heller (the French company manufacturing the kit) still sells a Royal Louis. Check out Heller dot fr

Hi Andrew, yes that makes it an extra special project. Just take your time, and you'll finish it beautifully:-) Can you share something of your progress? I'm also on the Ships of Scale forum, where I post additional pictures. Let me know if you need help:-)

tof, dat zijn mooie modellen! En fijn dat je meekijkt :-)

thanks, much appreciated!

Thanks Greg, it was an interesting journey :-)

thanks Greg! Next project seems to be fixing up a Dutch Statenjacht

@@martijnonderwater I will look gurnard to seeing that 😀

thanks for the compliment and additional tip!

inderdaad, het oplossen van problemen vind ik ook een fijn onderdeel van de hobby

Dank @hans8608 ! Bouw jij ook houten schepen?

oui, c'etait beaucoup de travaille!

ouch, it's way too late for that :-) Wait until you see what I do later. But I agree, it was better unpainted. I just had to try it once in my modeling career!

thanks, I like improvising this way :-)

thank you!

yeah, imagine putting thread through such small blocks

indeed, that could be risky

thanks Greg!

thanks! I'm also taking some inspiration from your videos

thanks!

thanks for the feedback, that really helps improving these videos. I'll see if I can do some uniformization on the audio. Sometimes I record at night, and want to be a bit quiet 😊

@@martijnonderwater Heh. I turned the sound way up to hear your video. Then KZbin went on to play another video and it almost blew my speakers out. 🤣 Your model is coming along very well!

@@DARIVSARCHITECTVS yeah, I'm considering sponsorship by a company that makes hearing-aids :-)

dank je! Hopelijk hebben mensen er inderdaad wat aan :-)

@@martijnonderwater

yes, I replied in SoS :-) And I should have fulled the cracks. As a matter of fact, I should have straightened out the hull completely. I got fed up a bit with painting :-(

are you referring to the series of videos about building the Carolina? I didn't know about it, but I'll watch the videos. Thanks!

yeah, a few people mentioned that. Admittedly, I was lazy here. I realized this morning that I should have taken the opportunity to completely straighten out the hull. I could still do it, but let's see how my mood is. I'm a bit torn between making the ship as beautiful as she could be, versus the time I have to spend doing it.

@@martijnonderwater still you can paint it over the cracs but you just can not fill the cracs with paint..so it is eazier what i used to do is if iam going to paint it sand it good as i can than spray a grey or black base coat it shows the cracs and surface ups and downs better than little more putty and little sanding off you go..

@@AhmetAygit I usually don't paint the hull, and prefer to keep the wood as it is. During the build I do my utmost best to avoid cracks, because I don't like filling them. If I fill them, it always shows after varnishing the hull. But I have new glue now, so I'm going to do a test soon. Anyway, I'm still going try and make this ship a beauty 😊

@@martijnonderwater yoww all is try an error i watch alot on utube every day i learn new staff that other people came up with..so be patient keep working it will be nice at the end..

Hi Falk, dank voor het compliment en je enthousiaste reactie! Er is behoorlijk veel keuze om mee te beginnen. Kijk eens op de site van Sjaaks Hobbyshop, of De Kombuis. Het moeilijkste voor beginners is het maken van de romp met latjes ('lattenbouw' ofwel 'plank on frame '). Dus start met een klein scheepje, zeg max 60 cm lengte en max €100, dan zit je ongeveer in de juiste categorie. De Pilar van Constructo is leuk (mijn buildlog staat op Shipsofscale.com), of de Bounty Jollyboat van Artesine Latina bijvoorbeeld. Bij De Kombuis staat ook een moeilijkheidsgraad genoemd (1-5 sterren). Benieuwd wat je keuze wordt!

@@martijnonderwater Heel erg bedankt! Ik heb nog wel een vraag over dit soort websites: Zit het hout (gesneden) en de tekeningen erbij? En wat moet ik dan zelf qua gereedschap hebben om zo iets in elkaar te zetten?

al het hout en de tekeningen zitten erbij. Het is wel iets meer werk dan alleen dingen in elkaar plakken. Hout moet soms gebogen, gezaagd, gevijld etc worden. Dat maakt het ook wel leuk eigenlijk. Qua gereedschap heb je lijm nodig (uhu hart voor hout bijvoorbeeld), een set vijltjes, schuurpapier, een klein zaagje, en wat klemmetjes (bij de bouwmarkt hebben ze in de €2,50 bak nog wel eens wat liggen). Maar: begin vooral met iets, en dan kom je vanzelf dingen tegen die je nodig hebt. Op mp staat nu ook eem bouwpakket van een America Cup jacht. Wel wat makkelijk, maar misschien leuke start voor weinig euros. Of de Zuiderzee botter die op mp staat.

@@martijnonderwater Wat is MP als ik vragen mag?

marktplaats:-)

Bonjour Bruno! Je va essayer de parler en Français une petite peux :-) Je croix que Mamoli ha changai le bateaux sur les ans, e c"est possible que mon bateaux e plus vieux ou plus jeunes. Mais oui, le personne qui ha construé le bateaux ha experimenté beaucoup:-) A la proxaine video, je vais painter le sous du bateaux. Votre Royal Louis est très bien, et je voix les images avec interesse. Bonne travaille!

I'm afraid my French stops at Omelet du Fromage, but Google was helpful :-) Glad to hear that you'll follow my updates. Another one is coming in a few weeks - I'm working on the hull. Also, check shipsofscale.com for discussions on the project.

dank, en ik neem de tip mee!

nice, imagine that: 52 years of enjoyment from one model!

Hi, I don't know how to get those plans, I'm afraid. Best advice I can give is: Google it...

thanks!

Thanks! Indeed, this hobby requires some patience.
