Very interesting stages of conversion Julián.
What is it soaking in, in the glass?
Rob.
Very interesting stages of conversion Julián.
What is it soaking in, in the glass?
Rob.
It is alcohol. Does not damage the plastic, but it cleans the paint well.
Sorry for persisting but what sort of alcohol would that be Julián?

Rob.
Antiseptic alcohol 96ş. I buy it in the perfumery of a supermarket. I think at pharmacies also sell it but more expensive.
Thanks Julián.
Sounds a lot more user friendly than Nitromors.:shock:
Rob.:wink:
Today I have finished the paint work in the hull and I fixed the masts.

Great build so far Julian. Are those Langton 3-decker masts? Beautiful job scoring the deck planks. I envy your ability to keep the lines so straight.

Thank you Vol.
Exactly, I have used from Langton 3D masts for the difference with the scale.
By the way, thank you for the rep.

Have a nice weekend!
A superb bit of work again Julián, but once more it raises a question.
If you have pre painted the masts, how do you get the sails to adhere strongly?

Rob.
As you can see in the image that I attached, the brass sails have a little lashes to hug the mast.
These sails are much lighter than those of white metal. It is advisable to do the union of metal with metal and not metal with paint or paint with paint.

Thanks Julián. I have only ever used the pewter/ lead sails. These look far superior.
It just goes to show that one is never too old to learn a new trick or two.
Rob.
Their thickness is very much better but the sacrifice is the double curved shape of filled sails.

You can bend them horizontally and vertically to get that filled sail look. I use a large marble to shape them over.
She really is looking superb Julian.
Good tip Vol. My smallest planishing stake is a might too large for those radii.
Rob.
Hi, today I started the rigging.

I just realized that the middle row of the side of the stern gallery are probably not meant to be glass.
That's good eyesight Jonas!
I could only tell there were windows, and my screen is at 150% mag at all times.
Rob.

You're right! I had not noticed that detail. I will paint it next as a wooden balustrade.
Thanks for the observation! :beer:

Indeed Rob, possibly a mistake in the design, does not make sense three lines of windows in a boat with two decks.

I just wish I could paint it as a balustrade.
You are really doing excellent work. I leave the British sterns as originals in my repaints as I don't think I can improve on them. You make an enormous difference showing how good they can look!

Exaclty Franco, two lines of windows, but I will paint the balustrade with ochre, no white.

Today I have finished the rigging and the running rigging. I also have changed the color of the side of the stern ( three lines of windows and now two lines of windows and a balustrade).

One heck of a difference between Before & After... if I hit the Mega Millions I know who I'm outsourcing some rework on my collection to. :)

Help if I actually BOUGHT A TICKET... lol
In all seriousness, when Ares said "premium grade" on Special Packs this is what I would've liked to see.

In all seriousness, when Ares said "premium grade" on Special Packs this is what I would've liked to see.
It has a cost in hand of hobra that a company type Ares can not assume. Too much risk.
Beautiful work! To be honest with you, I would be too afraid to game with something like this! All it would take is one clumsy move or an errant die.

It is possible, when I have played table games I have always thrown the dice inside a box on a chair just to avoid what you are saying. Regarding a clumsy move ... everything depends on the emphasis in the battle. When I see photos about tournaments I do not feel like players are moving the boats aggressively and nervous, maybe they put their best photos, hehehe
Still, thanks for comment. :beer:

Excellent Julian, the rigging brings the model alive as it were, really like your sea base too although it looks a bit difficult to see the firing arc. Nevertheless far superior to my humble efforts:clap::clap::clap:

Greatings Julian,
I may have missed this if you explained it before, but I have a simple question.
The base is lovely. Do you place the card with firing arcs over the sea base? Or do you remove the sea base and replace it with the firing arc card for a game?
Regards,
Vol

Hello Vol, I guess this card is also valid for Sail of Glory ships.
I add the link where I share how to do this type of bases.

Ah yes, I remember now asking about the acrylic sheet. Sorry, getting old and forgetful.:question:
How do you gauge the wind direction acting on the ship Julián?
Rob.

Rob.
I did not draw it. But can make a series of marks with a different types of blue. The idea is to try to make a base that does not have many color contrasts using shades of blue.
I concur with your thinking Julián. For most of us who are conversant with the rules just a mark at the relevant point would probably even suffice.
Rob.

Hello Julian! I was just admiring the beautiful work you did here again, (actually it is around the 15th time), and I wondered if you could tell us how you make your staple anchors?:question:

Check this Vol, maybe It can be usefull for you. Read the description of the item, material, measures... but 80 units for 3.33 dolars is good for me.
