Many thanks. The rigging is slow work so good be a while before the next video

@@TheMegazaya No problem, I will be stand by :) I also build model ships, but I'm not sure what the next one will be. Either the Le Glorieux or the Royal Louis by Heller. Have you already had experience with these and could you give me your expertise?

@@Floria629 Hi, it would be good to see pictures of what you have built. I haven't had any previous experience model building. i only built an easier pirate ship before this one. I therefore haven't much expertise to offer but here are some tips. The rigging is the hardest so you need a lot of patience and time. For a big model you need space and the ability of having everything lying around without someone coming in and cleaning everything up. Watch a lot of others on RUclips building models as there is lots of talent there. Oh and watch out for cats climbing up onto your model work area if you have any!

@@TheMegazaya I have a dog, so at least I have one less thing to worry about haha. No previous experience? I wouldn't have thought that, considering how good the model has become so far. Thank you very much for your tips, I would be happy to send you a few photos of the process once I have started building Le Glorieux or Royal Louis. Wish you all the best !

Thanks

Being retired now I had time on my hands to work on it, couldn't have done it while working. Must admit am feeling intimidated progressing onto the rigging now

Thank you! 😊

Thanks, I'm quite good at building stuff so it's just a case of transferring skills to modelling. However I must thank the skilled modellers posting their work on RUclips, as without them my build wouldn't perhaps be at the standard to post.

No problem, it's easy. When you sign in to RUclips you will see a box near the top right of the screen called "Create" you click into which will allow you to upload your video in MP4 format. First though you need some editing software to make your video look good. I use VSDC editing software that is not expensive and you can download here Videosoftdev.com but there are many more It would be good to see your work so let me know when you've done that and I can have a look, Thanks

Funny you mention that. I have discovered that my Foremast is vertical but the Main mast is inclined towards the stern a few degrees and the Mizzen mast doesn't fit. To get the Mizzen in I will need to file the hole bigger on the poop deck and then fill any gaps. I wondered if the masts on the real Victory are slightly inclined towards the stern?

I found the stern tough going too. Painting took ages and awkward to glue on. We just need to persevere to make it look good.

Many thanks. The LEDs took a bit of planning to get the best effect, still some to put on the masts.

Hi. You don't need sand you can use water instead. If you are sitting the bag on a smooth surface the suckers might grip so you wont need anything.

Thanks for the comment. I love LEDs and have them everywhere but I don't see many on ship models much either.

Many thanks. It took me a long time, likely longer than experienced modellers. I have to thank the experienced modellers posting on RUclips and too many to credit here. They made it easier to build my model. The LEDs do look good, and not finished yet as there are lanterns to go on the mast. I used higher value resistors in line with the LEDs to reduce the brightness but the camera exposure time makes them look brighter than they really are. Part II could be a while yet as I am starting the rigging now

Many thanks!

Thanks. I am starting the rigging now so part 2 will be a few months away

Thanks. I have a thing for LED lights and have them everywhere 🤣

I got the idea from someone else, it saved a lot of time and effort also hides my lack of joinery skills

Thanks it was my first time and I stared with a complicated model. The next attempt should be better

Thanks

Thanks, it shows that people in there 60s can still perform good in fitness. I see you have like a kung fu logo. Do you do martial arts?

Thanks

Thanks, sometimes I look they are seem so real almost scary. LOL. it took a while to paint them.

Thanks, the frames make it look much better than I could have achieved without special cutting equipment. Only cost me about £40

Thanks

Good question. I tried to avoid painting where any glue is required. If I did, the glue appears to aghere without removing paint. However One lesson I learned is to avoid painting any assembly holes and pins. The paint is thick enough to prevent assembly and needs removed.

@@TheMegazaya thank you this is very helpful. I plan on getting this kit it looks like a good build

Yes, you should always remove paint on the mating surfaces. Glue does not stick very well to paint. Plastic model glue is chemically designed to melt the plastic.... essentially.....'welding' the parts together.

@@clubtepes2046 Thanks for the reply. I didn't know that about the design of the glue

@@TheMegazaya Sure. In modeling, it's good to know what glues do what. Plastic glue, does what I said, it melts the plastic. But lets say you want to glue brass photo-etch to plastic........ plastic glue isn''t going to melt brass. A lot of glues do what they do based on 'surface tension'. Meaning, they 'grip' each surface and hold them together. Elmer's glue, super glue, even epoxy glue all work on surface tension. Heck, Latex paint works on surface tension and you can peel it off. The chemical glue are designed for specific products. And glue meant for styrene plastic, won't work on ABS plastic (Another type of plastic used on different models).

Thanks. I got this from Amazon UK and cost about 80 GBP. Should be easy to find as there were many for sale

You need to buy the paint separately. The instructions recommend the paint to buy but you can have any colour. I think the black pearl is the same model but just a different colour.

@@TheMegazaya Hi, there, do you put a u in color because you're Brittish?

Yes but in some countries like the US they don't use it

@@TheMegazaya Hi, and thank you for telling the public.

Thanks it my first time model building and threw myself in the deep end with this one. At the end of this year I will do the HMS Victory 1/100

Thanks

Thanks, it was my first time doing this and took a while to build. It is 56cm L x 51cm H x 22cm W

Thanks

That's true and could depend on the time of day. If there is a big demand for electricity, perhaps at dinner time, then the current would increase and hence the EMFs. Also if I could stand closer to the cables I would have had a higher reading.

I wouldn't worry about EMF from a bulb as motorised equipment like fridges are much worse. Also anything SMART. Nobody knows how low power EMF affects the body long term. Some people say it affects them and there is a lot of youtube negative information on health but no proof. I think the body lighting up bulbs is a magic trick. It is possible to build up static electricity depending on what you wear that would cause a spark and start a fire.

@@TheMegazayaI totally agree about low power EMF, I wish they would do more research into these things. I don't think it was the body lighting up the bulb it was the pylon lighting up the bulb such as in "Abnormal phenomenon under a high voltage PTL - LIGHTING BULBS RIGHT IN MY HANDS without any wires!!!". I haven't tried to take a light bulb down to my local pylons to try yet though.

​@@f-22r Hi, I have seen youtube videos of guys with a coil/antenna arrangement generating power from the powerlines magnetic field and charging phone and lighting LEDs. I don't think I will try it though

Hi - here is some advice I would highly recommend a warm up first before any training and stretching. I have a video on my channel for ideas but there are many on RUclips. Next perform dynamic stretching in a controlled manner - not Ballistic! Then do you martial arts workout After your training workout do static stretching exercises. Many clubs miss this due to time constraints. Don’t miss this if possible. Also be consistent with stretching. You may also need to strengthen your leg muscles with weights. Squats and deadlifts are best. Others may have a different opinion but what I recommended works. I am quite supple for a pensioner as proof Enjoy the beginning of your training

@@TheMegazaya Thanks for your response. You have a new subscriber. I am a video editor if you need advices for your videos I could help you. Regards

@@miguelangelmora8664 A video editor! That might be quite useful to know because as you can see my video editing is very amateur.

@@TheMegazaya I see, in youtube there are many videos for free that will help you😁

Its hard to determine the limit for emf. Who is making the limits, geographically where the limits are and the doctors understanding of the effects, if any on the mind and body. In the UK we have CEMFAW regulations that set exposure times and limits at work. This link may offer some guidelines. www.hse.gov.uk/radiation/nonionising/emf-regulations.htm

Law on real contries the bio limit for sleeping areas is 0.02 micro teslas

Some people are affected by the infrasound from windmills and yet you can't hear it below 20Hz. The Infrasound comes from anything that vibrates/moves. The windmillls are electronically connected for control

Left now but worked as a consultant for carbon capture and storage on Iwaki Oki project.

Thanks for the comment. I personally don't think the power line emf 5Hz/60Hz will harm anyone. However we are all different and some claim to feel the long term effect. Yes the earth magnetic field is stronger but natural. Fridge magnets are a fixed magnetic field. MRI... now that's something else. Your right I would never ever want an MRI.

Hi, you are absolutely right. Filling with water would probably add another 20kg. I found that I didn't need to do that as the base is stable without the water. However I'm not a young pro martial artist so possibly cant kick it hard enough to knock it over. One problem with putting water in is if you ever have to move, or carry it somewhere you would need a fork lift truck as you will never get the wet sand out of the hole.😉

Hello and thanks for the question. There is no way of adjusting the timer. I am assuming you are using batteries and not doing the as me in this video? Only things you can do is make absolutely sure the batteries are new and 1.5v each. Also check that the battery terminals are not corroded and have a shiny appearance. Don't use rechargeable batteries as their voltage is too low. Merry Christmas

Many thanks for the information and the source.

They can arch on you if you fly a kite below and it gets too close to the line or if you climb up the pylon.

Thanks for the comment. Thats an interesting effect. I don't think thats EMF but I'm thinking perhaps more electrostatic, like dry atmospheric conditions and extremely high voltage. Who knows mf effects everyone differently and some with no effect

Lol, don't think so but you might have a bad connection on your headphone connector.

@@TheMegazaya he is correct. When you get close to those lines a background humm can be heard through headphones - and the hum is not there when you first start walking.

@@lecsu131 Thanks for the interesting reply. I will actually try it with a couple of different pairs and see what happens. It could be that the energy from the power lines is induced into the headphone cable

I'm 1.8m tall and find the bag okay for height. Anyone taller may need to sit it on something to raise the height a bit

@@TheMegazaya thank you

@@ppurple9320 Im 172cm hes not 180 cm he is about my height at best

@@richardgomez1151 thank you so much!
