sparrow Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share #93 Posted February 1, 2014 Dear visitors of my build, here comes another update on the Sculpey ornamentation work on the RC. I have mostly finished the starboard and I have recently moved to the port. I have not been completely happy with the plain gold color which made the ornaments look quite flat so I have made an attempt to improve the look. So I have used black color to make them more plastic and to get some patina effect. It still needs some improvements but I think it will hopefully be better... Let me know your thoughts... Thanks,Jan DORIS, bhermann, marsalv and 8 others 11 Quote Current build: Royal Caroline by Panart First completed build: Golden Star by Mantua Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparrow Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share #106 Posted March 7, 2014 Little update on the ship, haven't had much free time for modelling... The ornamentation on the left side of the ship is mostly done. Also I have done the decorative "sprouts" on both ship sides. Work on the beakheads also started. I was thinking for a long time how to build them as I see this as quite a challenging work. Finally decided to use the brass rails that came with the kit which were bent and then I applied Sculpey. After baking it was sanded and then repeated this process several times. They will be blackened and also I will create and put the ornaments there...

sparrow Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share #113 Posted September 29, 2014 Hi, after about 4 moths of silence there is an update of my build log of the RC. I had quite a lot of changes in my personal life - wedding, flat moving,.. so not much time was left for ship modeling. I needed also to set up a workbench for the modeling work. Now I am mostly done. So hopefully updates to the build will come on regular basis. So what has changed on the build during the long period? Just updates to the bow - including production of the ship figurehead... Again from Sculpey. Here are just a few pictures. I will try to make some more soon and post them.
