La-nina from Fiddlers Green:
La-nina from Fiddlers Green: La-Nina | Miscellanous |
Rather than make a "box-like" paper model, the parts pages were printed twice just to enhance the wood framework . Attached a few in-process photos that may be of some interest: La-Nina Parts Pages printed on HammerMill Cover Stock Ivory 67LB Two copies. Sail Pages printed on 20 Lb copy paper Rattle can Krylon Acrylic Gloss used to protect parts page surfaces. Hull planking burnished including deck wooding. Outside and inside ship side framing cut from second parts page. Throughout build all cut edges color matched using water color. Assembled parts using Aleene’s Tacky glue. Applied several coats of Future Acrylic Floor Wax on finished hull and base. Sails: Carefully burnished over layers of soft paper towel. Old thread selected from wife’s sewing basket. Between thumb and trigger finger applied Aleene’s tacky glue to several weighted and hung thread lengths that dried overnight. These were used for rigging and flags. Attached sails to wood dowels using lighter colored thread. All thread knots spot glued. Two straight pins pushed from cardboard reinforced base bottom helped secure posts to hull. Bob Penikas

Have you done other ship models in the past? You have techniques that show experience. It came out very nice. Will you be doing the set?

Thank you,
Actually I am an airplane enthusiast however, two ship modeling good friends attend the Model Shipbuilders Association meetings. I tag along and have been "pushing paper modeling." Last month I showed the Pirate Cove Diorama and it was met with enthusiasm so ...I will again be "pushing paper modeling" on the evening of the 15th with this Nina. As far as ship modeling interest goes.. Thanks to the US Army, 28 days on a troop ship riding extreme stormy seas cured me of most boat modeling or cruise ship desires. Nonetheless while building the Nina I listened to Pat O'Brian's Books on CDs about the tall ship SURPRISE making this project a thoroughly pleasant and enjoyable build experience. Bob
