diorama of a section of the HMS Victory
by Raul Guzman Jr
Scale 1/35

    * My model of the HMS Victory is down below the photos of my Trafalgar diorama.  In order to conserve pages, the two models are on this one page.*

     My newest project is a diorama of a section of the HMS Victory during the battle of Trafalgar in 1805.  It will be from the keel up to the quarterdeck.  It is a formidable challenge that will force me to develop skills in figure making, modifying figures and painting.  Even though it is only a section of the ship, it will be a large model since I am making it in 1/32 scale.  I am using John McKay's book about the HMS Victory found in the Anatomy of a Ship series for reference and drawings.  I am making a part of the aft area of the ship from about area #1 to area #15 found on pages 38 and 39 in McKay's book.
     As one can tell from the photos, I made just 6 frames and clamped them together with a keel and keelson and began planking.  I knew that the weight of my model would be to the side, so I added several pounds of BB's to add weight in the center.  The model is therefore heavy and already weighs 18.5 pounds and is far from finished.  I made some pig irons (out of maple), the well for the main mast and pumps,  the shot locker and added the loose shingle ballast.   I added dozens of barrels, since my research said this was the area of the hold where water was stored.  The biggest barrels I made, the others I bought, stained and added "iron" hoops.  The outside hull below the waterline was coppered.  The last photo in this section shows the frame for the top of the hold and floor of the orlop deck.

     *我的皇家海军“胜利”号模型是下面的我的特拉法尔加场景的照片。*

    我的最新项目是一个1805年特拉法尔加战役期间皇家海军“胜利”号的一个部分的场景。这将从龙骨直到后甲板。这是一个艰巨的挑战，将迫使我开发在制图、修改人偶和绘画方面的技能。尽管它只是船的一个部分，也将是一个巨大的模型，因为比例为1/32。我使用的约翰•麦凯的有关皇家海军“胜利”号的书找到船舶系列的解剖，以供参考和制图。在麦凯的书的38和39页找到了我在制作的船的尾部区域的部分，从区域＃1至＃15。
    从照片可知，我只制作6个肋骨，用龙骨和内龙骨把它们夹在一起，并开始铺板。我知道，我的模型的重量将在一侧，所以我增加几磅的BB来增加中心的重量。因此，该模型是沉重的，尚未完成已经重18.5磅。我制作了一些生铁锭（由枫木制成），以及主桅杆和泵，铅弹柜，加上松散的压舱卵石。我还加了很多桶，因为我的研究说，这里是储存水的地方。我制作了最大的桶，其余的是买的，染了色和补充“铁”箍。外部船体水线以下是铜片。这一节中最后的照片显示了作为底层舱的顶部和最下层甲板的地板的框架。

    In this group I will be working on the orlop deck and the figures that will be on it and the rest of the model.  The inspiration for this model began when I came across a set of figures depicting Admiral Horatio Nelson dying at the battle of Trafalgar.  I bought this set made by W. Britain.  I was initially thinking of building just a shadow box of the cockpit area with Nelson dying, but decided to make a cutaway from top to bottom when I came across another set of  W. Britain's figures showing a surgeon.  Just about all of the purchased figures had to be modified somewhat, some of the figures I purchased were duplicated like the powder monkey boy and the wounded marine down below.  I also found torsos, legs, arms, feet and hands that I duplicated by making  two piece molds for and casting them in resin.  I made these parts in order to modify some wrestlers that I found that would become crew members for the gun decks.  More on these "wrestlers" later when I get to the gun decks.  I also discovered that when I placed the roof over the orlop deck, that it was too dark to see the Nelson scene, so I decided to add 10 LED lights.  They are battery operated, with the battery to be hidden in the mast/pump well.


   这一组中，我将致力于在最下层甲板上，以及在其上及模型其他部分的人偶。这个模型的灵感始于我看到一组描述在特拉法尔加战役中船长霍雷肖•纳尔逊死去的人偶。我买了这一套由W. Britain制作的人偶。我最初的制作构思只是展示一个纳尔逊死去的舱室，但当我看到另一套由W. Britain制作的人偶显示了一个外科医生，就决定制作从上到下的剖面。只是所有购买的人偶不得不有所修改，一些人偶我购买了多份，如搬火药的少年和楼下受伤的士兵。我也制作一些身体，腿，胳膊，脚和手，我重复使用模具并用树脂铸造它们。我制作这些部件为了改变一些炮手——我建立的将成为炮甲板的船员。有了更多这些“炮手”后，我到了炮甲板。我还发现，当我放置最下层甲板的顶部时，能看到纳尔逊的场景太暗了，所以我决定购买10个 LED灯。它们是电池供电，电池被隐藏在桅杆或水泵里。

    In this group of photos I added the roof of the orlop which was also the floor of the lower gun deck.  The elm tree and chain pumps have been added and the wires for the lights stored in the well compartment.  I made the side so it can be removed in order to replace the batteries.

    在这组照片中我加了最下层甲板的顶，这也是下层炮甲板的地板。榆树和链泵已经放好，以及为了水井舱房里灯光的电线。我制作的是一边，因此它可以为了更换电池而移动。

   Down below one can see the soft light effect that the LED lights made.  My camera can not capture the entire visual effect that the lights make, but I hope these photos can convey somewhat what ones sees when seeing the model in the flesh.  The LED lights are supposed to last between 50,000 to 70,000 hours, so I figure they will outlast me, since they will only be on for short periods of time when I am displaying the model at art shows, at model contests and to visitors in my home gallery room.

   在下面可以看到所制作的LED灯的柔和光线。我的相机无法捕捉到灯光制造出来的整个视觉效果，但我希望这些照片可以传达点亮的模型达到什么程度。LED的灯假定耐用50,000至70,000小时，所以我估计它们将比我长命，因为它们将只在当我在模型竞赛上展示模型，或访问我的陈列室时，工作的一小段时间。

    Here is the last set of photos dealing with the orlop deck.  The orlop is  just about complete, I have yet to make and add a ladder that will go from the lower gun deck to the orlop and perhaps another figure or two will be added sometime in the future.  The orlop has 18 figures on it already and in the hold there are 2 others.  The last of these photos show just a hair under 240 hours of work.  I have been working on this project for 67 days at the time of this writing.

   这是最后一组涉及最下层甲板的照片。这里即将完成，我还要制作，添加一个从下层炮甲板到最下层甲板的梯子，或许在将来的某个时候增加一到两个人偶。在最下层甲板已经有18个人偶，在底层舱还有其他2个。这些照片显示只是不少于240小时的工作。我已经在这个项目上工作了67天。

非常有趣，看起来这个模型不小哦。:)
