maggsl_01 Posted December 30, 2014 Author #123 Posted December 30, 2014 Hello again ... thx all for your compliments... Yes, I admit: I really enjoy the build of the Royal Caroline. Too sad that the end is coming closer with every day of fun... The next project already takes shape... I purchased the Occre Endeavour. And... shame on me... I ordered my absolutely dream of a ship - the Friedrich Wilhelm zu Pferde by Euro Model. I dont know if I already dare to start with the FW or if ist better to wait and get more expierence. But Euro Model had an Holiday discount with 20 % to the usual Price. So shipment and all taxes included the kit is just about 570 Euro (more than 700 normally)... I just could NOT say NO... (even the Admiral said: Do it - so... would you wait with this encouragement?? ) Well...we will see... I feel just a Little bit crazy now as the FW is for me the "royal class" of modelling. Next time I will update the Caroline again Cheerio Max schnu, edmay, puckotred and 2 others 5 Quote Next: Friedrich Wilhelm zu Pferde by Euro Model 1:47 Finished: Half Moon Corel; HMY Royal Caroline Panart; HMB Endeavour Occre 1:54; Fregatte Berlin, Corel, 1:40 A life without dogs is possible... but worth to live?
maggsl_01 Posted January 8, 2015 Author #124 Posted January 8, 2015 Hello my friends a little update today. I work on the yards at the moment - and within with the running rigging. It is a pleasure for me to see the ropes grow and to understand how the ships were sailed long time ago. I prepared the yards on my lathe and stained them with a mixture of dark walnut (ca 70 %) and oak tree (30 %). I have attached the anchors... the ship turns more and more into a complete model. I think I have about 3 or 4 weeks (my vacation is done now... not so much time to build anymore) to finish the Royal Caroline. All in all it will be about 9 months (!) to do the ship... Today one of my next Projects arrived: The kit of the Friedrich Wilhelm zu Pferde was delivered Wish you all the very best Cheerio Max popeye the sailor, jwvolz, Laurence_B and 6 others 9 Quote Next: Friedrich Wilhelm zu Pferde by Euro Model 1:47 Finished: Half Moon Corel; HMY Royal Caroline Panart; HMB Endeavour Occre 1:54; Fregatte Berlin, Corel, 1:40 A life without dogs is possible... but worth to live?
edmay Posted January 9, 2015 #125 Posted January 9, 2015 Hey it's just me, Personally I feel you under estimate your workmanship.Your Royal Caroline has been superbly built,The Friedrich Wilheim zu Pferde will be to, that's the way you do things,it's nice to learn and watch your methods and your reasons why.I would like to reserve a seat for your next build.Edwin DenPink and Foultide 2 Quote
maggsl_01 Posted January 12, 2015 Author #126 Posted January 12, 2015 Hi Edwin sure you are very welcome to my shipyard. Take a seat and let's have a nice time while building our boats The FW will be a challenge - I think you all know this. Therefore I will wait till I have gathered more expierence esp with bashing. I hope I can try this with my next model The Endeavour by Occre. I have the AOTS to the Endeavour and will try to improve the kit with more details from the book. Keep on rolling... BTW Just had a look on Google Earth and found, that Port Alberni is situated on Vancouver Island... I am envious now as Vancouver Island represents for me one of the most adorable places on earth...

maggsl_01 Posted January 16, 2015 Author #127 Posted January 16, 2015 Hello my friends an fellow men just a little update with some pics again. Still working with the running rigging. But as I am working in the news business the past days left no time to relax and to care about my good old lady Caroline. All that terrorism takes my time away... But today I could finish the bowspirt and the biggest part of the foremast. So I thought I could be good to share my results with you There is nothing special to tell so far. All takes its place as soon as I have found the place in the confusing rigging plan Enjoy the pics and don't hesitate with any kind of comment.

Markicorbett@aol.com Posted January 16, 2015 #128 Posted January 16, 2015 You are doing a fantastic job Max. I really have to get my Caroline out of the cupboard and try to finish her. maggsl_01 1 Quote
maggsl_01 Posted January 27, 2015 Author #129 Posted January 27, 2015 Cheerio my friends! Well - it is done. The Caroline is completed, as I think. The rigging is fixed, the lanterns are on their place, even the flag is allright. although I will try with my next ship to get some more realistic flags... But nevertheless - I like the flag as it is. All in all I say - the kit by Panart is ok. There is a lot of possibilities to bash or to improve the build. I got swivel-guns, built a door beneath the stairs etc... only some small additions as you see. For me it was most important to improve my knowledge and my craftsmanship. And I wanted to create a model that is nice to look at under a Hood in my living-room. This is done. I was a little bit dissapointed by the rigging plan - it Needs a lot of detective work to understand the drawings. This could be done much better as I think. But at least is also worked. I thank you all who followed my log, thx for all comments, tips, hints and tricks. The next days when I have some more time I will do some additional pics and at last create an own Gallery for my Royal Caroline. I will have a break now for some weeks. I will be back some not so far away day with my next log - the Endeavour by Occre, which I want to bash more according to the AOTS.

maggsl_01 Posted January 31, 2015 Author #133 Posted January 31, 2015 Hi together... This is probably my last update of my Royal Caroline log. I am ready, have ordered the hood, made the stand and took all the pics for the gallery. The gallery will be open soon, perhaps I will upload the pics today, perhaps tomorrow. I thank you all again - it was a funny and really good time. One of the pics show my two models - the Half Moon and the Royal Caroline - a nice small fleet with nearly the same scale. And the last picture gives an Impression of the next project - the Endeavour. I will see you all again as soon as I start the Endeavour. This will be not before March. Enjoy the pics and come by to my gallery the next days. I will follow several logs and stay online - of course. When you start wooden modelling... well, you can't stop it so easy Cheerio my friends Max GrandpaPhil, VonHoldinghausen, Lin Feng and 15 others 18 Quote Next: Friedrich Wilhelm zu Pferde by Euro Model 1:47 Finished: Half Moon Corel; HMY Royal Caroline Panart; HMB Endeavour Occre 1:54; Fregatte Berlin, Corel, 1:40 A life without dogs is possible... but worth to live?

It is 90/75/28 cm big and from acrylic glass, made by a German Company called Sora (http://www.sora-shop.de). It is worth every Cent (the costs are about 165 Euro) as it prevents the model from the bad bad dust.
