Sjors Posted May 10, 2014 Share #61 Posted May 10, 2014 Hi Adam, I have build Corel and at the moment one from Caldercraft. Corel has difficult and not clear drawings. Specially the rigging part is a disaster.... Caldercraft has very good drawings and excellent wood. A pleasure to build with. Let me know what you gonna do.

Spiderpig Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share #62 Posted May 24, 2014 H.M.S Prince is ready to be launched! I have finished her, after about 18 months over long hours of work. Sorry there isn't many photos, but most of the detailed shots have already been posted in previous posts. Cheers for watching all! Now onto joining the Syren club, and waiting on mine to arrive in the post!

The Sailor Posted May 24, 2014 Share #64 Posted May 24, 2014 Very well done Adam. I can remember the Airfix Prince. She was my very first sailing ship when I was a young boy.

Spiderpig Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share #65 Posted May 24, 2014 Thanks all! Sjors, you will have to pull up a front row seat for the Syren! I'm guessing it will have a big following judging by it's popularity on this site. Richard, I still have a plastic ship that my Dad built when he was 15! It is about 45 years old now!

mtdoramike Posted August 30, 2014 Share #68 Posted August 30, 2014 What a beautiful model and a wonderful job building her. Thank you for doing this build log on her, I didn't know that Constructo even made a Prince kit. Had I known, I might have opted for the Prince rather than the Victory. I love Constructo kits. You have done a gorgeous job on her for sure. If you don't mind me asking, what are the measurements of the model? Thanks, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pirozzi Posted August 30, 2014 Share #69 Posted August 30, 2014 Thanks for posting that link Keith. I think I will look into this kit for my next build after the RW. I do want to build the Prince since she is related to the RW. It would be a nice touch to see them side by side. Nice job Spirerpig.

foxy Posted August 30, 2014 Share #70 Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) G.day Adam. Fantastic job there mate. I take it this is the early Prince that later fort at Trafalgar. With the prince of Wales feathers at its stern. foxy Edited August 30, 2014 by foxy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderpig Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share #71 Posted August 31, 2014 Thanks everyone for the kind remarks! Foxy, she is one of the first in the Prince series. Built in 1670. Mike she measures 890mm in length and 890mm high. I am currently working on the Syren, but keep looking over at my Prince, and wonder if I'll ever be able to top it! Such a lovely ship of that era.

Spiderpig Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share #72 Posted August 31, 2014 I'd like that! But it isn't cheap though. Maybe if they do another sale. There are others similar to the Prince. San Felipe was another I had in mind.
