SawdustDave got a reaction from Canute in Sovereign of The Seas by SawdustDave - FINISHED
A day of "Reverse Building".....
Remember the misaligned gun ports on the entire starboard side? Spent the morning ripping all that beautiful bamboo planking off. The lower gun ports will be lowered by about an inch.
Also....
Decided I couldn't live with the shape of the forecastle planking.... just another flaw in the plan sheets.
So I decided I might as well go ahead and fix that now.

Thanks Patrick, George, Pete, and everyone else for all the "like" posts.
Please don't take my comments wrong.... It's just that I have such high regard for the incredible beauty of the SOS, I am probably expecting way too much from myself.

Looks great for a "practice" run Dave. I can't see anything that needs to really be hidden from view.
Cheers

Well, like they keep saying Dave, "We are our own worst critics", but from our perspective, I honestly think it looks like you're doing a bang-up job, and you shouldn't be so hard on yourself.

SawdustDave got a reaction from Harvey in Sovereign of The Seas by SawdustDave - FINISHED
It's about time to get on with something else for a while.
I decided the entire port side is pretty much "practice" for the starboard side. Just saying, since I plan to display this ship in a glass case built several years ago, the port side may never be seen again after she goes into that case.
For what it's worth, here is the port side ornamentation.
I've not decided what I will create for the top right panel seen here.
One note about the galleries.... I find some SOS builds with the outer windows left open. I decided I prefer the open outer windows which allows a view into the inner windows.

First attempted this as a carving in vinyl (seen on the right).... ran into problems with sharpness.
So I went back to Sculpey. This was taken after removing from the oven and cleaning up the edges preparing for gilding.

These two figures will stand atop the middle roof of the portico....
It appears the male figure on the right is giving some sort of signal to the enemy on behalf of King Charles....
King Chuck was a real hoot.

Not a great modeler George, but I've got a pretty good eye for great modeling. Nothing wrong with setting high standards.... Right?
I know I'll never become a "great" modeler, but I'm damned sure I can be a "better" modeler.
Stay tuned mate.

That looks absolutely stunning, Dave .... for a "wall-side" job.
