burnside63 Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share #31 Posted April 22, 2015 I am back. For the first time in 20 years, I have an actual dedicated modeling area. I no longer have to use an antique desk. Got the new area all setup and have started building again. The initial planking is almost done. I will put out some more pictures shortly.

burnside63 Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share #33 Posted September 26, 2015 Finally back making some progress. I have almost everything painted. The wiring has been run and the lower deck lights hooked up. I need to install the window glazing yet. Going to frost it a bit to lower the ability to see the wiring and such. Working on the benches on the main desk also. This almost feels like a plastic model now. Most of the major work is done. Now time to complete painting and do assembly. Many of my coming weekends are busy, so I will not have much time to truly focus on the build. I hope to finish her by the end of the month. Hope you enjoy the photos. yvesvidal, Captain Slog, hexnut and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnside63 Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share #34 Posted December 17, 2015 Well, I finally got some time to do some more work. Her roof is on. The lights are up and running. Not much more to go. Here are some new pictures. Enjoy. maggsl_01, catopower, Captain Slog and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nirvana Posted December 17, 2015 Share #36 Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) Burnside63, That very nice. I like the warm glow. How about a christmas tree on the foredeck.

burnside63 Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share #39 Posted December 17, 2015 I am truly enjoying this build. Building her sister ship will happen. Probably not right away, but it will happen. My wife has asked that I build a couple of Occre's trams. The good side is that she would like me to include the power trucks with them and lay some track around the house to watch them run. catopower 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nirvana Posted December 20, 2015 Share #41 Posted December 20, 2015 Burnside63, or what your name is.... I am glad to hear you have an Admiral requesting for something different than a ship. You have great support! To bad this is not the right forum that build, but please provide us all for a link to that tram or two, I am certainly looking forward to a build log.

burnside63 Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share #42 Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) Thanks. Yes, I am very lucky that my wife supports this hobby. Well, the Mariefred is done. My only complaint was the decals. The first one completely disintegrated a soon as it touched water. I clear coated the rest and had no problems. Ages of Sail, you will see my next order later today.

Experienced the same problem as you did with the decals, only with the issue that all the decals "broke" when I tried to place them on the ship, although I´ve used Micro Set. Now I´m trying to get in contact with the manufacturer to buy a new set of decals, but that seems quite hard. Last option is to print by my self.

Nirvana Posted October 2, 2017 Share #47 Posted October 2, 2017 Burnside, Your final Mariefred looks great, but I would change the flag as the one flying is not correct for Sweden. Take a look the correct one. Quote Please, visit our Facebook page!

catopower Posted October 3, 2017 Share #48 Posted October 3, 2017 Dr. Per, I believe that this is an earlier Swedish-Nowegian Union flag which was in use at the time of Mariefred's construction. Quote Clare Hess He's a -> "HE" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
