Thanks for the likes and everyone who is visiting from time to time.
Ratlines are done!
I can not see any ratline for a while now.....
I don't count them but there are a lot.
Pictures are a little bit bad because she is to big to get het in one shot....

Dear friends,
I am very grateful and honored reading your kind words and feel your support. Thank you all very much, I do appreciate your feedback a lot.
Th Royal Katherine has been finished a few days ago, this build took me almost four years and approximate 7000hours of work and studying.
I am sorry that my husband could not see the completion of the model, but he supported me a lot in my hobby and shared the successes and joy of building models with me.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have helped me and followed my work through this forum.
A few days ago there was a nice report about my work on card models on Czech television. It was also dedicated to my husband, with whom I wanted to say goodbye for the last time. You can watch the report here, but it is in Czech languauge:

And here you can see plenty of pics of my largest finished model - the Royal Katherine - I consider her the best ship of all I have ever created:

Small update....
All the shrouds and ratlines at the lower fore,- , main,- , and mizzenmast are done.
All black so that was not so easy to see it all.
Next stop....the upper parts 🙂

Sjors got a reaction from popeye the sailor in HMS Snake 1797 by Sjors - FINISHED - Caldercraft - Scale 1:64
After a few weeks of planking and a little bit more sanding the hull is smooth!
A smooth substrate for the second planking.
That will start in a few days....
For now pictures.
I don't make any stealers or drop planks because you don't see a thing about it!
Just the easy way 🙂

Sjors reacted to chris watton in Chris Watton and Vanguard Models news and updates
OK, just took a few pics of the pre-prototype model of Sphinx, so you can see where I am up to.
Please bear in mind that this model is disposable, no paint, no varnish, it has been dropped a couple of times, as the starboard forecastle bulkhead can testify, and no PE as yet, which is why I have just use brass rod for the chain pump handles, just to make sure all holes for this align correctly. This is just to make sure designed parts fit, and if not, changed and replaced.
Today I glued the forecastle and quarterdeck beams in place, and finished the final deck engraving designs for the forecastle. I think once upper decks are fixed, my only real design job is for the inner upper bulwarks.

Hi Mick,
The Nuestra don't give me much problems but I have to finish it for my wife.
And it is always a little difficult to go further on something that is done for a big part.
I'll be making ratlines on that one. but almost finished.

Sjors reacted to gsxdent59 in San Ildefonso by gsxdent59 - OcCre - 1/70
After one year from the beginning i have finished the painting of the hull. I put and paint the black strips on the side of the ship. My yellow paint was no mat so some reflections are visible...maybe i must repaint it with mat paint...i will see... Now i must make the frames of the gunports, paint them red and cover any gaps with the hull around them. Is a a very challenged job...
