Best wishes, Mark Hello Mark, Yes, I made them for cannons on the yacht Royal Caroline and Sovereign of the Seas as well. I used my favourite modelling clay (Modurit), the result is not bad, though I believe that photo-etching parts are more precise and look realistic. On the Royal Katherine I am going to make these small emblems from modelling clay as well and hope, they will be much better than my previous. I will bring pics from the tutorial to you.

DORIS Posted January 3, 2019 Author #613 Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) You are welcome, Mark. It is not a problem to make tiny details and ornaments from this clay although in my opinion the photo etched parts will look better and more professional.

Hello Siggi, that is fantastic and very inspirational masterpiece, thank you for sharing the links. *************************************************************************************************** I am trying to make the Royal Katherine model in a realistic look as much as possible so it will also related to all crew members. I'll make portraits of faces according to real people. All sailors will be dressed in period clothes, and officers will have wigs on their heads. As I have already mentioned, I cooperate with the top expert on the history and construction of real ships and experienced naval captain - Kpt.KL. His advice are priceless for many people and I am very grateful for his professional help with my projects and possibilty to improve knowledge about real ships and everything around them. Here are some of Kpt.KL posts in Czech forum, where you can find plenty of professional information about weapons, period clothes and sailors that I am going to aplicate on my model. You can use translator to understand, but I am sure, the following posts will be very beneficial and educational to you as well. https://www.modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=177&t=110763&start=780#p2179766 https://www.modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=177&t=110763&start=780#p2179826 https://www.modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=177&t=110763&start=795#p2180373 https://www.modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=177&t=110763&start=795#p2180389 https://www.modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=177&t=110763&start=795#p2180442 I have decided to make all weapons again and much better to achieve more realistic appearance according to Captain´s advice. There were created for example these types of weapons: smallsword, spadroon, hanger/cuttoe, broadsword, rapier, flintlock muskets, flintlock/doglock pistols etc. And here is the result.
