Grazie! 👍🇵🇹

thanks!

Большое спасибо за ваш комментарий. Привет матушке россии :)

you too Glyn!

Grazie tanti!

yes, after seeing this great step by step demonstration one should be able to tackle other similar projects as you mentioned. Nice build and finishing tips; and the special product reviews were quite helpful, and would be applicable to other types of model projects too.

And thank you for your suport and advices Harry

thank you!

Thank you for watching!

cheers Will and THANK YOU!! have fun!

too kind. Thank you!

Muito obrigado. Gosto de passear por este hobby pegando em algo aqui... Algo ali... Abraço

Thank you!

Always a pleasure Ian.. honored.. thank you

Thanks Wakeman ! Really apreciate your opinion and comment. Its a pleasure to have you here!

Does anyone have any insights into the usual, (if there was a usual), color to the bulkwards of their ships. The red that was used is the well known British paint Color. The USS Constitution was known to have had green as its first iteration. Could be an interesting bit of minutiae. Nice build, though.

muito obrigado!

thanks!

Found out days later of finishing this One that this is not the Acheron... Heller deceived me... This is actually a ship from my own country... D. Fernando e glória... Oh well!

Thanks Brother

Thanks!

thanks!

thank you for you second comment! had to re upload this video twice!

I noticed that, its why I left another one. KZfaq has been doing the same thing for me, sometimes I have to reload the vids again!...Bill

Thanks! 🙂👍

Merci Beaucoup Jean Marc! :) Salut!

thank you for your kind words!

Thank you 😊🇵🇹

I've always thought that fully-rigged ship models look , I don't know , more realistic ? Definitely when it's on a stand or in a cabinet . There's no 'breeze' to billow the sails ! So , either open-rigged or furlled sails for me . Unless , that is, someone ASKS me to add the sails to the model I've just built for them .

Steven!!! How are you?? Great to see you!!

they are very beautiful!

@@AlexModeling At the beginning you keep mentioning the flash, did you ever try any of the metal car models they used to have at Toys 'R' Us? Some of the flash they had, you had to use pliers to take them off! That was back in 1970.

Saludos desde Portugal!

It is a lot of fun... On the cannons i also thought to remove the material beetwen tge wheels but believe me once insiste the deck you wont see it... The position of it wont let you see

Saludos!

Try and find as much information on the model you are planning to rig . Even the kit instruction should have at least some of the main ones . If the model is like Alex's and supplies rigging cord in different colours , that's a real help . If the model is new'ish' and only supplies diagrammes , you should be able to 'break-up' the work by if necessary , writing or taping a small-piece with an arrow pointing to where it goes . If it is a much older kit , that's great because it will describe the colour and use of the rope required for a particular line . I've found it much simpler to concentrate on one at a time . Actually , it isn't too difficult to add the rigging just as the real ship was rigged . There are 2 different main types involved . The first is the 'standing' rigging and just 'stands' . It is used to make the masts rigid , holding the shape correctly . The other one is 'running' rigging and has a totally different use . These are the ones used by the crew to alter the sail angles and size to make use of the winds . Then , when the sails are not required , ropes are used to 'furl' or gather-up to the yard-arms , the pieces that are attached horizontally to the mast . Most plastic kits I've built , include the 'ratlines' . These are the triangular pieces that go from the sides to the yard-arms . They are usually not very realistic but are fine for now while you are starting . The upright part is fine being straight , because the real thing has to be . However the pieces going across are the 'steps' so quickly sag . Some kits provide more realistic ratlines that sag . Take it step by step . Look out for model ship magazines that may include a diagramme of what you are aiming for. Try and look out for some cheap but extremelly useful locking tweezers and haemostats ( fine-nosed locking pliers ) Being narrow , they are useful for carrying or pushing the end of a rope through the ones' you've already done . There are some beautiful small sailing ships available in kit form , and being smaller requires less rigging . Heller have made several that I can think of . Have a look . Clear some space , put some cool music on and enjoy . If you get stuck (🙄) put it to one side and leave it till you're ready again . All the best . Pete

Merci beaucoup!;)

@@AlexModeling ah, je savais pas que tu parlais francais ;)

Um petit peut... Pas trop

Once you start it go with the flow... You Will get it done

aaah meine freunde! how are you? God Bless!

pelo menos espero que aproximado!

You Will build it evento better than me... You Will see.. cheers

I still have ir here to BE built with the Verlinden detail set complete for fuselage wheels and cockpit

thank you!

I use super glue (just a bit) and sometimes i help tge suoer glue to cure by using spray acelerator

@@AlexModeling thank you so much 🤗now i can go on . it's my first ship modell and watching your videos, i see how much mistakes i made. But for the next modell it will be better. the first is always for the mistakes 😄

I do use glasses and use this type of visor... I Will do very soon a video about all my gear and Will post some links to those itens with cool discounts... Thanks for your comment

She didn't exist, they simply changed history a little. As in the one from the film. They just took the Constitution and made it french

Yes... Found that Exactly after making this One... If Heller was truthfull i would been a very proud owner of a Réplica of my own country amazing Ship!

That’s interesting. Acheron was the name of the French frigate in the film Master and Commander, Far Side of the World. I always assumed she was fictitious, I can’t find a reference to a real French Acheron.
