PRINTZ FRIDERICH (1761 - 1780) - danish 70-gun Ship of the Line - 1:48 by Karl I. Malcha

[Uwek]

Dear friends,
during my visit of the Shipmodelling Days in Hamburg
(see herefore also the topic https://www.shipsofscale.com/sosfor...-16th-september-2018-report-of-my-visit.2465/ )
I had the opportunity to meet Karl Ingwer Malcha and to see in detail his 1:48 scratch model of the Printz Friderich, a danish 70-gunner launched in 1761.
In the following you will see some photos of his extraordinary model i was able to make in Hamburg. Based on this first contact I received from him several other photos he made during the construction of his model, so I am able to make here in SOS a small building log of his model in the next future. I am will also receive additional information about the ship history, the ornamentation, the timeline of her sinking etc., so I am will be also able to share these interesting information with you.
-> First of all many thanks to Karl sharing with us these info!

BTW: Karl is working since 10 years on this model

The light-conditions were not very good, but I tried the best with different settings - Hope you can Enjoy the extraordinary model:

I made a photo of the original drawing showing the stern decoration so you can compare the basis with the executed model

This is truly work of an Artisan - it is breathtaking to see. The wood tones and type are a perfect selection.

Karl Ingwer showed in Hamburg with the help of some paper-photos also some internal details which are in the meantime covered or not visible anymore.

In the near future I will be able to show them also.....









Thanks for the interest

I just found this information about this incredible model:
This admiralty style model of the Danish ship-of-the-line Printz Friderich (1761-1780) is built out of dense and luxurious woods following the original building plans of Michael F. Krabbe.

Every day I find another amazing build on SOS.

I’m amazed at the craftsmanship required to craft such detail.

Well done.

Amazingly good. Something to strive for, but unlikely to achieve.

I guess Dave, you are not the sole passenger in that boat, there will be many of us there. I'll be first on board!

Fantastic is nothing short of, precision and cleanliness of impeccable work, a masterpiece.
