Nightmoss Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Beautiful models!! I work and play in a smaller scale; Langton 1/1200 and Sails of Glory 1/1000. Not sure why the image is so small, but there are more (and larger) images on the Sails of Glory Anchorage website. http://sailsofglory.org/showthread.php?1535-USS-Constitution-1-1200-Langton-Build&highlight=uss+constitution 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can certainly do more with them if you want, but it's not necessary. http://www.aresgames.eu/games/sails-of-glory-line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirones Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 did not really worked on the First Rate in the past couple months will do some work on the next weekends. i fucking hate these tiny brass nails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loukhaashj Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Yeah, best is to have a small 150g hammer and make a hole before hammering it in. But i was wondering, do u have to put nails on all the planks or do u need to reuse them for other parts? Otherwise its best to buy some metal pins with plastic top u kno what i mean they are far more eazy to handle and enter the wod more eazely.

Hyperion74 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Hi guys. Good to see fellow modelers. What is wrong with us. Riggin is HARD. I like plastic models my self although one day I will try wood. I have the big 1/96 Consti. An O.K. Bonhomie Richard. A re-issue of Sovereign of the Seas, the box says Black Beard Pirate Ship. How did a rat take a first rate. Neat kit though. I have some others too, plus plane kits, car kits, steel ship kits, space ship kits, you name it. Here's the kicker, not enough time to work on them. Naval Action is not gonna help. I will keep up with this thread since we share interests. Oh cool thing, Glow In The Dark Frigate. Lovely work you lads are showing.

NiceFella Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) I'd recommend looking into the way models were built before kits, by carpenters and prisoners of war. The prisoners would use bones, hair, and some of it is art. It's difficult, but I've tried a couple, my grandpa is the expert. It's easy to buy and find balsa planking, dowels, and if you're careful with the scale plenty of accesories, blocks, cannon... But you'll need the tools too, a nice dremel, blades, clamps. I made a nice clinker-built single deck that broke up in a storm, moving to a new house a few years back. EDIT: I never have, and do not recommend trying to use bones and hair and crap, that sounded strange after I read it.

NiceFella Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I'll never forget the first time I walked into a craft store and asked about kits for ships, there were 2 guys working and the one I talked to spent all his time talking up his own efforts, basically insulting me, saying most people can't do one or never finish their first and I'm so young and all, successfully talking me out of buying a damn thing as the other guy watched in horror, agape as I walked out the door. I was pissed for about ten seconds until I realized this guy guards his hobby vehemently because it is absolutely the only thing he does and all he thinks that makes him a person. That was before the internet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon MacBeth Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Bought this one and added a couple of antique period swords and a decent flint pistol to go with it all. The Dear Surprise needs a dusting but it's one of my favorite things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizwald Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Really impressive works guys. I want to get into wooden models one day, have built dozens of plastic ones over the years. I came across this model on a website a few months back and thought you all may appreciate it, I wish I had saved the page, there were allot of pics showing the build process. Here are two I grabbed from the page... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darius359au Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) I'm currently building HMS Pegasus a 6th rate ship rigged sloop of war which should end up looking like this but I'm here at the moment coppering the hull (around 2000+ individual copper plates ,sometimes I wonder what possessed me to attempt the build..) and one of the 3rd party guns I ordered to replace the monstrosity's that Amarti included in the kit Edited May 5, 2016 by darius359au 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
