super ian............ha...i never knew how to paint the tower...grey bricks...white?...wood....i ended up with light grey i think

ouch....get those pushups going!!......that's why i thought of an external ballast,  where also, the lower center of gravity insures that less weight is needed to stabilize the ship....but i was mainly thinking about your arms and back 😁......1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8   1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8---................ha, fold up oars could be possible, where little sleaves pull back to let the hinged oars go vertical 😁....ha....my 8 foot couronne only weighed 35-40lbs without ballast.....really will enjoy watching this one...............

super.....how much does it weigh?

🙂

ach....3d printing......if i only had the brains .....if i only had the bucks........hah...even if i had them....too old now .......if i could, i would build a 10ft. r/c model of hms prince 😁

   such a wonderful job you're doing on this ship.......immaculate, compared to my trial and error type building.......you must have wonderful tools and workshop along with your inspired intelligence.........  

   on ww-1 model r/c aircraft, recordings are available of various eg. real rotary engines looped, to place in the model......you could have a recording of the grunts and groanes accompanying the beating drum or anvil or whatever on your ship..and maybe add a piercing scream now and then ...funny how we so often can laugh at adversity....to me, it's proof of life after death 😀............would be a piece of cake for you ....congrats!!..........vic

boy oh boy....if i could do that kind of stuff...ooooeeeee

😁😁😁

ha...mine was worse ☺️

yahoo!!

WOW that is super.....totally took away the ugly feeling of the heller hull......really looks like a 1st rate now.........formidable!!

absolutely.....ha........yesterday, my couronne ended up in a hotel lobby in prince rupert bc.....better than rotting away in someone's basement, which is where it was.....six hour journey each way......no more piano no more boats now.....officially retired😁

hey.....it's not our  fault!😁

ha....how about securing the cotton-spandex? sail at four corners horizontally, laying saran wrap over it and filling it with some light-weight sand like material, so it will stretch on two...hmmm i guess three planes, then coating the sail with starch, thinned white glue...etc etc.....ha.....probably not the answer, but food for thought 😀

is this going to be an admiralty ship model, or fully rigged........sails...no sails?

how about Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

oh my......is that gorgeous, or what?....and what a display......congrats!

hahaha...they....all look so so much more comfortable 😀

yep yep and yep!

hmmmm....the stock horses, though refined, look like dead representations of horses galloping......yours look like they're being chased by wolves, and could gallop right out of the back plate ....much like the painting....guess there's art which has a visual appeal, then there's art which has a visual and emotional appeal........

curiosity....how long did it take you to carve them with your perfectly manicured fingers 🙂

and hope yer health stays strong!..........vic

the box it came in is triangular...🙂  pieces, regular added a higher resolution photo...some of the detail is hilarious ...have  to put the cursor at the bottom of the page for the + sign to pop up so you can enlarge it

comic relief....a jigsaw puzzle   was called corsair added a higher res photo

watching a video on the earth from above, was quite scary....huge cities sprawled for miles and miles, forests leveled....rape and pillage....like we're out of control....out of balance.....something's gotta give, our poor planet has become smaller and smaller....

  but, i'm so impressed with man's ability to keep it all functioning....that's a miracle....how to get rid of all that waste, provide water, sewage etc etc especially to super high rise buildings.....the engineering is amazing......

😀
