Beautiful Job of a very classy subject! :thumbs_up_1:

Very inspiring build Moomoon!

What are you planning next? :cool_2:

Thank you tausugair... but I'm still an old little baby padawan compared to JB :big_grin:

Here are a few pics of the finished model on which an uncle of my father sailed during WW1.

I don't know how to mark the built as complete.

Mr. JB and Moomoon . . both of your are master modelers, and your works are the source of inspiration and enthusiasm to me and my first attempt at this work. .

Mr. JB - thanks for the additional info on the boats/davits!!

Best regards...

TA

Well, Mr. JB, you're buiding ship models, I'm building fragile toys... I'll try your method sometime, thanks :smallsmile:

Not wanting to intrude.... :big_grin:

But you can hang the boats from davits two ways:

1) on some vessels the boats was suspended from the davits and then lashed against the griping spar by diagonal cross-over straps- in the model- glue the boat to the spar and simulate the davit falls with sprue or PE

( illustrated in the link below )

2) or... insert fine wire-..tungsten or similar into the boat. make a small hook shape at the upper end.

glue and it hangs...

or make a jig to support boat, and use butt glue joint as below in my Wien

sorry Moomoon! :thumbs_up_1:

On my Mangini (and also on older model Giuseppe La Masa), the boats are not hung from the davits, they're perched on an electric wire: you can see it going down vertically from the middle of the boat to the ship's hull between davits...

I did better on HMS Bonetta (wire used on Mangini was too thick).

[quote="moomoon"]Hello tausugair,
The ladders are from L'Arsenal (ref AC 700-02) and are quite standard I think.
There 3 different lenght: 7mm, 5mm & 3.5mm
For each lenght there are 5 with a 0.75mm width and 5 with a 1mm width.

In the past I simply used thin plastic stips...

Moomoon, thanks for the information! . . Your "in the past" suggestion is worthy of note, thanks.. . . Now, I wonder how the 700th scale boats are hung from the davits?

I'm not modeling the Wickes, but the USS RIZAL 174 which I don't have the plan.. but, I try to work it out using composite of other ships' in the class... and I hope I'm doing (now is) the right thing.... Again, thanks..

TA

Mon Dieu!

Your new railings are looking finer... :big_grin:

Hi, Moomoon..
I can't help being fascinated looking at the two inclined ladders (going up the bridge). . .I have reduced a Wickes top view into 700th scale . .in about the same location similar ladders are noticeable.. Can this be taken as typical, more or less, in all ships of this type? . . and, the ladders measure out at 0.75mm (+/-) wide in said scale (1/700th). . . I'd appreciate advice on how to do these... Many thanks...

(P.S. - I'm new to Ship Modeling)...

I say, that Havock.... marvellous!

And of course the Mangini is fantastic as well. :thumbs_up_1:

Champagne well deserved!

:thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1:

Love the Mangini-- looking very nice--putting her in water...?

If so

have a look here:

Havock--as far as I can see... looks [size=200][color=#BF0000]STUNNING!!!! :thumbs_up_1: [/color][/size]

JB

Well, it's almost done now...

thank you Bob and donalyah.

Rigging is done at last - ouf!
Simplified, not so strait and clean, but I'll cope with it.

Bob Pink. :wave_1:

Nice work! :)

Thanks for the tutorial.
I'll try stretched sprue with my next ship, I had prepared this one for human hair rigging that's much more romantic! :smallsmile:

Hello,

Funnel and boats glued, weathering added: thinned very light grey, black, and two different reddish browns.
Still have to add some details on the rear bridge and then the much feared rigging...
