Hi Frank,

THANKS - glad you dropped by - All is well on this side of the coast - hope that you are all enjoying the upcoming summer.

Cheers,

Hi all,

It's been a while since I've had an update to post. Finally completed the installation of the guns to their four upper weather decks.  added quoins as well

Here are a few images. 

Thanks, as always, for dropping buy for a look - always so appreciated.

Cheers,

FYI: One of my all time favorite series!! - You've prob. watched it??

Now all seasons are on Netflix as well.

Hi,

Will follow as well - Good start. This one is under my table, so will follow with added interest.

Cheers,

Just catching up - my index finger almost got numb from clicking so many likes...

Cheers,

PS: clicked a wrong key -- nothing below is hidden....

Cheers

Peter,

Went back and stared in wonder at all the incredibly well done image details. Close-ups occasionally enhance mistakes  (well in my case 🤔) - In your build they absolutely capture the obsessive (a Huge compliment)  attention to scaling absolutely every bit of this projects to perfection - Big Cheers,

And as Julian just posted - yes museum quality - possibly beyond actually......

Regards,

Hi Robert,

I have been following your log since the first frame. Brilliant outcome on arguably the most difficult kit to get PERFECT (the ship is so complicated). 

You also added so many extra details --- 🏆 🏆 

Regards,

OC. thanks as always - happy that you dropped by as well.

-- Been much away from the shipyard as well as from home base for a while;

I did finally, however, finish stropping the many lines for the gun carriages. My recent focus was for the ten main deck larger carriages. Here are a few images - Next up is securely positioning the carriages then attaching all lines. Then onto the hull gun doors - I think??

Again thanks for your visit - this log is a real slow one indeed.

Cheers,

As always Patrick another awesome in progress build log 🍺

Cheers,

Nice well researched updates.

Re: Doris her SotS is, in my opinion,  by far the most beautiful example. AND she hand made all of the hundreds of gold decorative bits as well.

I think that she has a log here at MSW??

Evan,

By coincidence I found your log. Clicked and read your opening intro to this build. hahaha  -

So you are not a "fan" of this ship. I then went through your superbly explained and photographed log. Well - you have indeed become a Titanic fanatic (huge compliment) making sure that your example could arguably become the best possible example of this Trumpeter kit given your scratch work (love the rudder BTW) and then you removed incorrect kit castings fixing those with your custom work. Great work!!!.

Will also follow with much interest. PS: I did see the movie until the end haha.

Cheers,

Peter,

Very nice indeed - Looking great !!! 

Congrats 🍺

Siggi,

I have been followed this amazing log since its first timber was cut - that said, many “likes” but few comments. Your work and this ship are so beyond my skill set - BUT I have so enjoyed following 👍👍 and I have learned so much as well.

Regards,

Marc,

As always such a pleasure dropping by ---

PS: Yes, that Modelships.de site has amazing models - I've known about it and spent lots of time looking through some of those

builds for several years now. AND the double click closeup images are so helpful for learning about how to add details to a build.

Cheers,

Thanks Frank,

Enjoy your year end holidays

Cheers,

Patrick,

Yes your treenails look just perfect indeed. I put those on my buy list from Cornwall - great find!!

Regards,

Hi all,

Patrick – yes, the magnetic panels - seemed to be the best idea given that I much later in this build decided to add lights. 

Peter – as always thanks

Mark - thanks as well - your work is so excellent happy that you like how this bit of the build is looking

Richard – so glad that you dropped by and are again working with your awesome Bluenose - thanks for the kind words.

--------------------------------------

It’s been quite a while since I’ve posted an update.

Started work detailing the carriages. Short text - images have some notations.

Thanks so much for your still continued interest in this very “slow boat to China” build log.

Enjoy your year-end holidays….

Cheers,

Richard,

As always - your work in close up images looks even better - Yikes 👏😊😎 such superb work indeed.

Cheers mate… 

Patrick,

Been remiss not dropping by often enough to your current project - always a good visit 😄

Regards,

Frank,

YES indeed beautiful model - congrats.

I also think a combination of steam and and sails would be a great next idea. Nice to visit 1600s, almost the 1700s - creative thinking to move into the late 1700s and into the 1800s - again big congrats!!!

Cheers my friend 

Hi,

Just getting back to looking at logs - been away from this hobby and dropping by for several months - Good luck with your new SotSeas project.

As mentioned above the castings of the current product are much less detailed than from the vintage edition from Sergal (those 600+ bits were solid bronze). I have been very vocal about this in my dormant log - that I will get back to soon - 

Will follow your new project with interest as well (my previous build was the Vasa)  PS: loved the museum - visited twice the last time was in 2018

Regards,

Peter,

IMO - in this hobby your work cannot possibly be improved upon - You're so at the top of this hobby pyramid.

Stunning work down to the smallest of tiny details. Brilliant build log.  A great pleasure to have followed it along.

Regards,

Hi Peter,

Just logging back in to MSW. I SO need to post comments re: your just completed awesome log. WOW!!  will do...

At least I got front row seats for this one. You will, again build a masterpiece. 

PS: just went back and read your intro to this project another WOW!!  

Cheers,

Peter,

Just really catching up - been away from the hobby for some weeks, as well as the forums.... But my Gmail inbox had lots of your links -

Wow!! your work is so superlative to the smallest detail - camera close up images love your work.. Oh and the sails well  👏. Your log is brilliant..

Hmm I do need to re-open my shipyard soon...on  my mind or so it's been said haha

Cheers,

Peter,

Just found your log - Beyond impressive - Learning a lot here 🙂

Cheers,
