Wonderful ship model very very nice.

[John Allen]

Your work on this makes it one of the best scratch builds on the site. Methinks museum quality. This buds for you!

[Mike Y]

Somehow I missed this log previously... Had a lot of a great catch-up today! 

The quality and precision is excellent, planking is great, everything is a pleasure to read.. Thank you, this log is a pure joy

Marsalv, as someone who is also working on a post ship I take special delight in following your build.  Your Pandora is absolutely gorgeous!   I will surely employ some of the building techniques and jigs you use in the construction of my model.  Thanks!

Thank you very much. I am very happy that you like my build .

Only small detail for today - the entry steps.

[marsalv]

Some picture of anchor lining.

Hi Marsalv, your work is fantastic.

[toms10]

Marslav,

If I didn't know better I would think the pictures are of the actual full size ship.  The detail is amazing.  I have been following this log for a while just to see the pics and what is possible.

Hey Marsalv,

 

I'm wondering if you intend to charter your ship for sailing holidays/courses when it is complete?

 

We know you're trying to kid us that you're building a model ~~ but we're on to you . . . we KNOW your ship is a full-size replica of the Pandora!!!

[marsalv]

Thank you to all guys for very nice comments. Building of ship models is my big hobby that brings me a lot of joy. I am very happy that my model can bring some pleasure to you.

Next part - planksheer in the waist.

[albert]

Very nice work.

[toms10]

I don't even know what to say.  I am speechless.  The quality and precision of your work is something to behold.

This work simply enHANCEs the look of an already beautiful model.  Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

 

Tom

[marsalv]

Thank you.

Only few details for today - chesstrees and fenders.

[aviaamator]

Wonderful!

[marsalv]

I wish Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all followers of my log .

And last post of this year - figurehead.

[giampieroricci]

Very nice figurehead! How have you made?

[albert]

Wonderful work, very very nice.

[toms10]

Marsalv,

That figurehead is amazing.  Is it carved in wood or sculpted in clay... or maybe something else?

Tom

[wyz]

Marsalv,

 

     I too am curious what you made the figurehead from.  Regardless what it's made of it turned out great.

 

Tom

[aviaamator]

Very appetizing girl!

[dvm27]

Wonderful, Marsalv! Based on museum pieces I've seen she is exactly the style and look of contemporary figureheads.  I wonder if it was a point of pride for opposing forces to blast the opposing ship's figurehead during battle?

[archjofo]

Fantastic work!

[Ondras71]

Greetings marsalv. Your HMS Pandora is beautiful, I wish her at least as good results in international competitions as your Royal Caroline had. 

[marsalv]

Thank you for all nice comments.

The figurehead is made from modeling clay. Because I am not good im sculpting from clay I asked Doris and she made for me this beautiful figurehead (her work you can see here - http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/854-royal-caroline-by-doris-card-1749-140/?hl=doris).Thank you Doris once more .

So, after long break I continue with production of the rigging blocks. Blocks are made with method that comes from russian modelers.

[albert]

Great beautiful work, very nice blocks, bravo.
