maggsl_01 got a reaction from Ondras71 in Friedrich Wilhelm zu Pferde by maggsl_01 - Euromodel - 1:48
Hello my friends
after almost four weeks it's time for an update. I finished some steps like the balustrades, the railings and some deck furniture. All comes good, I started the decorations. Everything seams to go on smooth and with no or just minor problems. The build is a challenge, as I said before several times, but there are no problems that will stay unsolved. Looking at the plans very carefully and with full attention, the interpretive files from Euro Model and at least thinking about the things you do and the progress you want to make will always lead to a proper way. And finally success. I hope I am right with this when it comes to the next step - the galion. But I am sure I alreday found some working methods...
As always I present some photos to show the progress. Enjoy and as always don't hesitate to tell me your opinion, hints and remarks.
Cheerio

Hello mates,
some update. Due to some busy days in the job there is just a little progress. Started planking of the decks. Try to get a good curve to the upper deck and proceed this for the poop deck. At the moment things go fine and I am hopeful to solve all challenges with the help of Pete's files and the study of the plans. The plans are so extraordinary... I always discover some new details by every look at them.
Well, enough words, there are no real problem at the moment. Some pics show the way I am on.
So far, see you later
Cheerio

Max, Your kind words make me feel humble. You know as well as I do that these 'kits' are a unique way of moving away from kit building and inching towards scratch building. Just love the challenge. Out of the two ships you mentioned, the Falmouth is a good choice. HOWEVER, coming out of left field, the Euromodel Lyde schooner is the one I am working on at the moment and the files are the most thorough and extensive I have ever written for any ship. Just an alternative. Looking forward to your masting and rigging.

Hello my friends and fellow men (and women of course)
it's time for another update, mostly with pictures. The work at the hull of my Friedrich Wilhelm step by step comes to its end. Still I have to build and install the remaining canons, some decorations are still missing - but that's it more or less. I think that it will take not longer than about two or maximum three weeks to finish this big stage of construction. I am very content with the quality of the figurines and other decorations. I used primer and some acrylic "antique gold", but there are some minor spots where I have to repair the color coating.
After this step I will take a break before I start to construct the masts and spares and finally do the rigging. Before that I have to study the great Euromodel plans very carefully.
So please take a look at the photos, enjoy it and as always don't hesitate to tell me your opinion and comments.
CU soon with the final results of the hull construction
Cheerio

Great stage to have reached Max. The photos say it all and almost defy adding words of praise. However, I will - fantastic accomplishment my friend. One to be proud of. Coincidentally, I have just added this week revised files for the hull construction on the Euromodel website. A little late for you !

Cheerio again
as mentioned in the post above I finished the first construction stage - hull, deck furniture, cannons, decorations - of the Euro Model Friedrich Wilhelm zu Pferde. I will have a break now before I start with the masts, spars and finally the rigging. I will retire in September. I think this will be a good time to restart building this extraordinary model.
Please enjoy the pics and don't hesitate to tell me your thoughts about my FW.
CU all again

Hi Max,
Its quite a while since I caught up with you and just came across your fantastic work on the FW. What a build it is and congratulations on your work that you have put into this. Your attention to detail is obvious and I look forward to seeing more of those photos.

Hello my friends,
it is time for another little update. The Friedrich Wilhelm grows more and more. These days I went over to the galion, what is a really tricky matter. I modified the build in the way that I did not double-bent the rails. I bent the timber in a horizontal meaning but not vertical. So the galion is not as pointed as the plans show. It is wider what has consequences to the appearence of the bow. For me it is ok as it is. It's the way I can build it, I don't have a higher skill. Probably it would be better to cut out the rails in the exact shape with a coping saw or to carve it. Nevertheless the result is quite impressing.
Now the hull is almost done. I have to fix the decorations, to build the cannons, the gun port lids, the channels with the chains and some smaller details. All over the hull it will be necessary to repair some details that got affected during the build and all those things. I assume that I will be ready with this first grand step this year. I am not sure yet if I want to show the boats, as they will take a lot of space and hide some pretty details. But we will see...😉
As always - some pics. Enjoy and don't hesitate to tell me your opinion.
Best wishes - and Cheerio
