Kevin got a reaction from SawdustDave in HMS VICTORY by Kevin - FINISHED - Caldercraft - 1/72
Goos afternoon, torn between lots of things today, F1 Race test match and Victory, so i have delayed watching the Race so that i can listen to the Cricket, Brilliant game
anyway - LOL subject to change the Gun-ports are finished, that for me is a big milestone, i have a couple of lanyards still to put away but the quarterdeck decoration still needs to be finished
so these might be the last few outside photo to be taken as she is going to be a handful to move outside as i start soon on the deck decoration, thank you all for likes and comments which have kept me going

Looks fantastic in the sun with her ports hanging down like that. Bravo on the milestone!!!
I suppose you'll need to make a wheeled cart to move from here on out?

Very nice ports. Excellent photography as well, they really show the scale of this nice build.

Just found your build log and was blown away, she looks absolutely incredible. Can't wait to see more.

Kevin reacted to Jerry in HMS VICTORY by Kevin - FINISHED - Caldercraft - 1/72
Hello Kevin..
I'm happy to see your log again and to marvel as to how nice the new layards look. The hull looks beautiful and the paint job stands out.
Good to see you back.

Greetings all
Not a lot at all been done over the last week or so. I have just about finished my launch which only need the windlass and davits fitting. I have bought a flag set which is 1/78 scale but appear ok to me. What I now need to know is were do the flags fit ??? Here are a few photos of my launch, nearing completion. Thanks a lot for viewing and your comments. DAVID

Greeting all
I am still slowly making my launch which is taking quite a while owing to this glorious weather we are having. .The wife and I got chatting to a new neighbour, and I spotted a large lathe and other machinery in a garage next door to her house , and she said my dad lives there. I said I may need something making. I got home and five minutes later the bell rang. What do want making ??? He said so I showed him. Off he went and half an hour later the bell rang again. "What size was that pin again ???" He said. I said 3mm. I came home the following day and inside the porch were these 2 columns on the window cill. Won't take a penny, he's daughter said it's he's hobby and he won't take anything . I will have to find someway of thanking him. Any way I fitted two metal sleeves in the keel about three inches long with a 3mm hole at the start of the build ( imagine a bic pen). The 3 mm drill fits in the column and up the sleeve , and the keel locates on the slotted column. I reckon he done a cracking job for me. DAVID

Working my way down the port side now. I have fitted the davits which only need to be rigged, and the sea cutter fitted once I complete it. The boat on the davits is the barge which will be on the starboard side with the sea cutter on the port side, which is the larger boat and should look a lot better. I had a look at grants brilliant small boats which he suggested I might scratch build, but alas it is all to clever for me. But thanks for the suggestion grant. So with the davits more or less completed I headed for the anchors. I have as you can see fitted both the bowers anchor now, but not the sheet anchors as I have lost three parts, so I need to make those. Anyway that's me for now. Here are a few photos of my progress. Thanks to you all for viewing and your comments and suggestions. DAVID

Well at last I have made the barge. It's not brilliant but will do me. The colours are incorrect but ok. I could not see any gold on jotikas, but it may have been the photos. I have posted a few but the boat is way out of position, and as you can see it does not look right at all, and needs to be lifted at least another inch or so. I will take it off and do some adjustment and fit them all at the end stage. Thanks for viewing and your comments. Here's the photos. DAVID

Kevin reacted to DORIS in ROYAL CAROLINE 1749 by Doris - 1:40 - CARD
Hello dear friends,
Thank you all very much for your kind words a comments, your support means a lot for me and I appreciate it. I am really pleased you like my work.
Thank you for these beautiful pics, dear Dražen. I know Mile Bijelić models and admire his artistry a lot. I have already downloaded all pics of his Royal Caroline and HMS Prince into my computer for inspiration. I am looking forward to his new project of RC, so if possible, please, send me some pics here: doris.obrucova@seznam.cz
******
I am going to make other members and place them on the board, at this scale it is possible to create better details and paintings of faces and clothes.
Yesterday I finished eight tiny pieces of satyr´s heads - these are scuppers for draining the main deck:
Enjoy the pics and have a great time.
Kind regards
Doris

Hi Doris,
just found your very interesting build log here. I send you few photos of Royal Caroline, a very dear friend from Zagreb/Croatia, Mile Bijelić built before several years. He won with this model his first gold-medal at the World championship 1998.
If you want to have more photos (I have several) in higher resolution, send me a PM please. Mile is right now building his 2nd Royal Caroline, he has just finished the decks and is moving to the planking.
Unfortunately he is not using computer at all so, I will try to take some photos next time I visit Zagreb and him.
Have fun!
Dražen

Hello dear friends,
I am very honored and pleased reading your posts. Thank you a lot for you support.
Janos: Your work is admirable and very inspirational. I love your carvings, they are awesome. I am looing forward to continuing your beautiful masterpiece.
Keep up the work.
Mark: Well, other two seamen boarded and immediately started to fire from the guns.
Vivian: I also browsed your thread (Red Dragon) and really enjoyed all the pics from process, especially the interior of cabins. I can say only WoW, you are really very skillful.

These days I have started the work on plastic model IJN Yamato 1:350, but also continue with Royal Caroline.
There were added other small decoration on the top of front railings and I also created other crew members - they will fire salute from cannon...
Enjoy the pics ( some are in better resolution) and have a great time.
