And the bar just keeps getting higher and higher.  Incredible job.  You are leaving the realm of hobbiest and entering artist.

Tom you are almost correct, not hobbiest but PROFESSIONALISM. To be more to the point.

Hi Marsalv, 

 

I haven't been following your or actually any build log recently but I have to say just WOW!!! Simply amazing!!! I have almost fell of the chair watching it! :)

 

Great, great work!!! This is going to be another beauty built by your hands!

Unfortunately my work on ship modeling is not on hold as my current hobby is our little daughter so not sure when I will have time to get back to it. But the time will come (hopefully :D).

 

Best regards,

Jan

Current build: Royal Caroline by Panart

First completed build: Golden Star by Mantua

Thank you guys for comments, but you are not right now.

I'm not satisfied with the already finished parts (lower and upper cheeks), and so I decided to make them again. It's hard for me to explain it with my bad english, but used wood has a distinctive structure across the fiber and on the manufactured parts is this structure too visible. I had to choose another orientation of parts on wood.

A few minor details is completed - wash cant, gammonig chock, bolster nad lining in the hawse holes.

And I thought the "old" ones looked great.  These are above that..  Very nice.

Marsalv, I'm really impressed with the way the head timbers turned out on your Pandora.  A-1 job!   It's great the way you have combined the natural wood look along side objects that have been painted.  They complement one another so well, neither one looking "too strong".... beautifully balanced!

 

Tom
