exwafoo Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Its summer, so the garden and other outdoor type of work comes first, however I'm planning ahead. I'm going to attempt a Black Pearl for my daughter who is very much into Pirates of the Caribbean, especially as she is now training in special effects for the film industry. Hopefully as a Xmas present. At the moment drawing up a (to me) decent set of plans as their is precious little out there to work from. So far I've started from this to this basically tracing it and using information from photographs. One of the troubles is that it was not a 'proper ship' but a 'set' on a barge. It also changed in some of the deck layout between films, so I have to try and keep to the first. The rigging I will draw from a generic style - having the captstan centred on the mainmast must have made belaying fun. Lots of hours work so far, mainly later on in the evening, not finished yet and the profiles are not to scale - that's the next step. I hope to start within a few weeks - the rum bottle should be empty by then.

Chasseur Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 WOW Alan well done! What computer program are you using? I am really impressed with your skills ... Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exwafoo Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 I tried importing the original into a small CAD programme I have. (Totalcad 2D-3D. It cost about £7 and has a reasonable tutorial and pdf manual). Trouble is, I'm very much a learner on CAD, however the original was way too 'noisy' for the auto trace function to work. I then tried importing it into a paint program that allowed me to scrub off a lot of the extra that was obviously not part of the drawing. After that I used the draw function in Powerpoint because I'm familiar with it. Its reasonable, and using the zoom, and points editing, you can get curves ok. The other features I used were replication, grouping, aligning and rotation. Sizeing was fine adjusted by using the % increase or decrease buttons in the size and position function,. Basically, I used it as an 'electric drawing board and instruments' coupled with good old fashioned engineering drawing skills. Remember to save regularly. Likewise I used it to 'sketch' from some of the film stills for deck fitting details. Its taken a while, but I'm getting there. I'll do a build log when I get started. I'm also going to learn to use CAD - must be quicker. Regards Alan IgorSky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gwyl Blaser Posted July 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Igor, I would like to ask you how you size or cut your wood into such thin pieces and also what kind of wood you use? Gwyl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgorSky Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 Hi Gwyl! Thanks for the compliment! I have used for this model:for hull - pearfor deck - light and pink pear 0.5x0.5 mmfor planking of the hull - light pear and colorized hornbeam (red and black) 0.5x0.5, 0.8x0.5 mmmast, yard and bowsprit - bamboo Before I used the planks cutted of veneer with a scalpel and a metal ruler.

Gwyl Blaser Posted July 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 Fantastic! She looks real nice Igor! Can you share how you built those tiny blocks? Thanks Gwyl IgorSky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgorSky Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) Thanks Gwyl These blocks are only an imitation. I have tied the threads in knot and added a tiny drop of glue. I tried to make a block of wood 0.5x0.5 mm, but then I decided that this result is not worth the time.

IgorSky Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 The second model was of the USCG Eagle, done is 1993. It has a vertical and horizontally split hull, horizontal split at the waterline, and vertical split just off center. The slightly off center vertical split allowed me to fasten the masts to the center of the upper hull, I used Hinkley style hidden hinges on all the masts. Hi John, I am going to build the model in a bottle of one of the ships USCG also. Have you draw the logo of USCG or used the decal ? Best Regards! Igor.
