I built this very same model 25 years ago!! And I was equally exasperated by the beauty, especially of the stern, as you. And the texture of the wood, the planking, is as always excellent in Hellerś models. Thank you!

@brianfoley43282 жыл бұрын
I'm a firm believer in trying, as much as possible, of replicating a particular ship as it existed in a specific period. There is next to no data about this exact ship, but that doesn't prevent a builder from following relevant practices of the time period. Having said that...I really believe in "Hey, it's my model and I'll build it any damn way I want...prove to me I'm wrong and I'll amend my ways. I am not a professional model builder nor even a good amateur, I just really enjoy it. Continue the good work my friend and don't concern yourself what others might think.

When I was younger I build a huge model of the USS Constitution. I do mean huge. Took me forever and it got knocked over at least twice and was rebuilt. The third time I gave up. It had ten miles of rigging, all 52 guns and all decks. I have been fighting the urge to build another similar ship. They are just beautiful

Excellent work and video. You said something about "perfection", in my opinion modeling is not about perfection its about enjoying yourself and having fun. Its a hobby and we do it to relax. Nobody has ever built a perfect model(although some on KZbin think they do). Alex I think you do outstanding work on both your models and your videos. I my opinion its about the enjoyment of the hobby. Okay I rambled on too much! Awesome build and thank you for the bright spot in my week with two premier videos. Stay safe all. Have a great weekend brother. 👍👍🇵🇹🤝🇺🇸

Alex... You make beautiful ships. Painting, shading... But rigging... Please... I am sure that you are able to do it better! Rigging is the most spectacular part of the sailing ships. Of course, I know that rigging takes the same time time of work as the rest of the ship but it is worth it... Look. You put only a few ropes on the whole ship... I am sure that you can put a few more. Add some ropes to the cannons. Add some ropes to sails... Please... I hope that in Victory you will do it better because the ship is worth it, and your work is worth it.

Start by adding a small amount of thinner to the paint, about 10-20% of the total volume. You can use a plastic cup or container to mix the paint and thinner together. Mix the paint and thinner thoroughly using a stir stick or similar tool. The consistency of the mixture should be thin and smooth, with no clumps or lumps. Test the consistency of the paint by using a small amount in your airbrush. If the paint is too thick, it will clog the airbrush or produce an uneven spray. If the paint is too thin, it will not have good coverage or adhere well to the surface. If the paint is too thick, add more thinner to the mixture and mix again. If the paint is too thin, add more paint to the mixture and mix again. Keep adjusting the ratio of paint to thinner until you achieve the desired consistency. The perfect ratio will depend on the specific paints and thinner you are using, as well as the type of airbrush and the project you are working on.

Sorry but such simple details such as standing rigging is black and running rigging is tan/brown is almost a universal rule in model ships. Rigging detail makes or breaks the overall appearance of the entire model. I look forward to your next video.
