Hi Hamilton,
Don't give up, don't be sad!...
I believe in your skill to manage it...
You can try at least... What would you lost? The time at most... The modelling is already outside of the worries about time... This is a way to know our limits. Before you have handled your scratch on the stern area, had you known how well would be the result?!
If you think to paint the decoration, then you can glue very small wooden or other material parts, one by one, like mosaic, on a leaf of paper on which the decoration had been drawn. The junctions could be filled and the outcome could be sanded and then painted, finally could be fixed after sanding the paper on the back side...
Or you can apply many layers of white glue following the lines of the decoration drawn on a leaf of paper, one layer over the another after the previous has got dry. When you reach the desired bulging (puff), you could shape easily the dried glue then paint it...
It's not indispensable to catch the museum quality, we (at least me) are not sculptors, wood engravers but it would be a pleasure for you and us to admire your own harvest...

I'm sorry Randy...
You are right, if something begin to deviate from the path, it has to be left aside for a while... You should repose your mind... An error occurred... You should shut down and restart it to recover the system and to install updates...

Ferit reacted to popeye the sailor in Gothenborg by Popeye the sailor - Billing Boats - 1:100 scale
hello Ferit....thanks for the good word. don't get me wrong.......but it misses quite a few aspects that would have made this a great kit.
the most glaring aspect is the scale.......1:100 to me is sort of an odd scale for this type of ship. I think it would have been better to have scaled it much larger...more detail could be added. then there are the inaccuracies in the kit itself.....there are two obvious ones that I did not have the experience to know better. to try and pry off the lids and carve out the ports, which is only about 1.8mm thick, would be detremental to the build. the absence of ports on the spar deck, is another aspect that would make the build, unbelievable at best, if I were ever to have tried to put them in.
somewhere down the road, I would like to try and size up the hull parts for a second build. it wouild give me a chance to correct some of the inaccuracies, and add in even more detail. I have pondered this earlier in the build.......but too late to really so something about it. I did ask about to my friend at Billing's........in order for them to get the Ok to design and sell the kit, they had to display it as a 'peacetime' ship. I respected the wishes {I guess}.

The carriages
The guns of the Caroline where same as on the Bounty ex. Bethia.
This has reinforced my decision at the gun carriages to not change anything and they are placed on the ship.
But now I get a folder from the decryption department placed on the table. Many thanks to the team, keep it up, you do excellent work.
On the cover "Top Secret, only for official use"
After evaluating the documents and photos, with super secret camera photographed
May I present to you, worth audience, more secret weapons production practices of smithy of his Majesty of England.
The carriages are in the style of Engl. Cannon built.
The sides of the carriage consist of two parts, which are bolted together.
In the lower part are the cutouts for the axles, at the top are the cutouts for the trunnion.
The axis sections of the lower bars are sawn on the circular saw
The semicircle is pre-cut to the circular saw and then filed
The upper parts are adapted and shaped
Now for the axles and wheels
All parts of the carriages without wheels and axles
The carriages are being built together
Ready gun carriages with guns
Guns on board
The next report on the arming of Caroline is in work and follows soon
Have Fun

Ferit reacted to GTM in Santisima Trinidad by GTM - OcCre - 1:90 - Kit Bashed
Progress !!
I started roughly shaping the hull with grid 60
After this I started using grid 100, grid 150, grid 240 and finished the hull with grid 400.
On the pictures down below I gave ½ the hull bees wax (color “blonde”) and on these you will notice immediately the warm glow of Sapelli wood taking over the picture
So this is the current state.
I must admit that it is not perfect and i have learned during the whole progress, but in general i'm very pleased with the result..

Ferit reacted to hamilton in HMS Blandford by hamilton - FINISHED - from Corel HMS Greyhound - 1:100
Wow - all this support has nearly brought me to tears!! I can't say how much I appreciate all the encouragement and helpful suggestions from all of you Thank you so much!!!
J - this is a great idea for a newbie such as myself - I'm not sure I would use Chuck's screens for the pinnace, but I will use this idea I think
Augie - I've used sculpy before for some very simple decorative scrollwork on the Sultana (another Chuck Passaro practicum suggestion). I think I'll follow Ferit's link above and check out Doris' work
Ferit - I can't thank you enough for your kind words! You've convinced me not to just give up - and you're absolutely right - if we're unwilling to give our time to improving our talents through this process and to making our work as nice as possible (within our own "reasonable" standards) then what's the point! I've already made the ship's rudder twice out of dissatisfaction with my results and will make it a third time tonight! So why not take a stab at this other thing? Thanks for passing on such inspiration!
In any case - an opportunity has presented itself that may result in some nice bulwark decorations...may take a bit of time, but it will work much better and be closer to historical than my initial (misguided and bizarre) idea of the brass tree frames!
Thanks once again to all - what a great group is to be found here!

What Commodore Augie is talking about, I think, exists in the log of an unbelievable but a real high talented persona Doris... She shows and guides how to make decorations also through videos... If you had never visited her log I certainly recommend you to shoot a glance, you would be glued to her build... That is like an illusion...

you are such a superlative artist, so your words add special significance. Thank you. Your Berlin is one of the most viewed current builds on MSW as it should be (:-) Regards, Michael

Ferit reacted to augie in HMS Blandford by hamilton - FINISHED - from Corel HMS Greyhound - 1:100
That's a great post by Ferit. I too fear carving and sculpting. But he reminds me there is this stuff called 'sculpy' which I think they sell in craft stores. It's a putty that you shape (like the many layers of glue he describes) and then bake it off and it becomes solid. Supposedly easy to work with and takes paint well. One day, when I get stuck, I may try it.
Just a possible option for you.

On the original which kind of decoration was there?
Via internet I have not had any answer... Is the presence or the form of the decoration unclear?

Hi Jürgen,
I just discovered your Leopard while admiring Ferit's Berlin. You had posted a response on his build threads. I think that he is right (:-) You artists who scratch build are really amazing. I will follow your Leopard with great admiration and pleasure.

Ferit reacted to realworkingsailor in HMS Pegasus by realworkingsailor - Amati/Victory Models - 1/64
Well.. a big thank you to everyone who endeavoured to keep this thread alive (for good or evil) during my last work session. I have a small update before I head north later today. Let us hope that normality will be restored and the weirdness will stay hidden under whatever dark rock it came from in the first place....
So... without further a-do...
The first set of main shrouds....
Serving the leading shroud took a good while. Anyone who recalls my machine is only good for about 6 inches of serving at one time.... (well 5 1/2 to give yourself a little working space)... anyway, to server a length of line almost 12 inches required a few adjustments along the way. A simple matter of securing the leading edge of the serving with a single overhand knot to keep things from unravelling, adjust the position of the shroud and resume. I found I didn't need to untie the knot as it's almost invisible. It actually served as a proof of concept for more complicated servings I will have to do in the near future (cut splices etc.) .... it is possible to stop, adjust and restart.. without having things turn into a rat's nest later on... at least not by themselves... what I do with them will be another matter altogether.

Well... here I find myself back in the city for a couple days... had to run some errands...and chores.... (laundry... )
So while waiting for the machine to cycle through I made a stab at some rigging fittings... ok... one rigging fitting...
Made my first attempt at one of the bowsprit bobstay collars. A most complicated bit of serving if ever there was. Two eyes served and spaced out far enough to accomodate a heart...or something to that effect. I met with partial success. No issues with the actual construction of the collar. Starting with the first eye, I served about 9mm of line. I tied it off and removed it from the serving machine. I formed the eye by passing the end though a couple strands, and secured it with a dab of glue. When that was dry I measured off what I thought was enough line to wrap around the heart, plus a couple millimeters, and made another 9mm run of serving. Made the second eye the same as the first, then when it was dry, served the intervening line. I then added the heart and seized it in place.
I was feeling pleased with myself untill I held it up under the bowsprit.... uh oh.... not enough space between the eyes and the heart... hrm.... well... chalk one up as a learning experience....
I'll be heading back up north tomorrow, too hot to stay in the city....

Hi Hamilton,
My thought is that to leave it plain is better than to decorate with unsuitable material...
On the sides of the original are there decorations?
