Wow! That looks pretty fantastic just like that! I agree with Dobbs! Dang!

Better hurry Rob! Tommorow it's going to be on your workbench for June! :wink::takecover:

Sorry Dobbs, I didn't see this until just now. Yes I figured this out last night. But Gunner wants me to leave it and scratch the stay sails.....

Ooh I like the look of these buildings Ferrante!

Thanks Eric. I agree, the things I like least about the Black Seas ships are the masts and sails. The hulls are nicely detailed. I may just scratch build masts and sails on future BS models. That may...

They need to get there before they complete those new fortifications!:cannonboom::cannon:

Thanks John. To answer your question, I use just a touch of super glue to each thread cross junction, careful not to apply too much. I sharpened the end of a paperclip to use as an applicator. This...

So no hot knife! I must say you get spectacular results with your methods. I can't even imagine trying to use my big router on something like this.:hatsoff:

Rob do you use a hot wire/knife or just blades for carving? I have a hot wire foam carver but my basement hobby room has little to no ventilation and the fumes are too much.

Got the ratlines on and finished the standard rigging

The next work is the sails. I am going to try wetting them and then shaping with a pencil eraser.

Wow! That is going to look so cool!

While I have been patiently waiting for Rob to dazzle my senses with more of his amazing terrain art skills, I have moved on to one of the brigs in the Black Seas US Squadron pack. The modifications...

I think that was Vagabond asking Rob

I do have a quick question though. Do you refer back to the initial layout photos for placement after you have built up the hill top terrain? I know in the...

Wow thanks John! That must be the nicest compliment I have ever heard.

Thank you Ferrante. That is why I prefer the 1/1200 scale for gaming....even larger battles, even less space:minis:
These 1/700 ships are fun to build and just pretty!

Hi, thank you Roméo. It is hard to say how many hours it took me. Due to other circumstances, I have only been able to spend an average of 30 minutes an evening in the shipyard for the past month....

Got it, the spelling indeed through me off. Thanks for the clarification.

I finally finished the frigate

Now that tower has seen some better days. Great job of depicting battle damage Ferrante!

Keyside Rob? What is that?

That's going to be pretty impressive!

Oooh that looks really nice! Can't wait to see the next Bligh Terrain Masterpiece!

Here are the sails mounted

About the sails, another thing I don't like much. The weight of the card they are printed on is too heavy. They are difficult to shape...

I remember that, great episode. I love time anomaly films like that. The Final Countdown is a favorite.
