Perfect, awesome ship! Unfortunately, it is very rare to see such beauty! Very stylish and neat work. It truly is one of the best in the world.
PRINTZ FRIDERICH (1761 - 1780) - danish 70-gun Ship of the Line - 1:48 by Karl I. Malcha
Totally Agree. I have over 40 Years time build 3 of the sister ship "Norske Loewe" This ship goes absolutely up to the very Top Builders as a few from Rusia and France. Well Done Karl. P.S. at 1700 until 1864 the Danish Border to Germany Preussen) was outside Hamburg ant the name of the Ship in Danish is Prins Frederik (Danish Born)
I HAVE STILL vOLUMEN ONE. It somehow is interested tell me- here or mail- peandersen@telefonica.net- it will be free of charge. the only cost will be the postal cost. as I am slowly closing down -getting too old- but it hearts my hard to through it out to the Bin.
In this book, there are in fact many original Drawings of ships, its history, info about the main Constructors like Krabbe.
It is such a beautiful build, that most of us like UWE only can dream about to build. To me, it is satisfied as a Danish Born and having served in the Navy - direct and in the reserve until the of 50. and have over the time build 3 builds of Prinz Friderich sister Ship "Norske Love (from Kits). It one better than the other.

Yes, Jimmy, that is/ was my dream, but too late now. Am now 75 and a well I know, this work has taken over 10 years. This apart, of all the special Tools as Lathe, Freaezer , Mashin saws etc. Thinks that I never had. Came to a Proxcone/ Dremel late 90, so what I have built was all pure crafting done. When I see some of the working/ tool rooms, I am not going jealous, only a bit sad, that when I was building hard 70-80TH.
all these things were not available. this apart From CAD and other computer programs etc. Newcomers have now so much info- maybe too much- that WE DID NOT HAVE T THAT TIME. The 1Th image is from the Book Holsten-DK and my first big build 1978- 1982- the Norske Love- a sistership to Prinz Federiech scale 1:72. all fittings, even deadeyes, bloks etc were a plastic. later on, I change some of them. there are mistakes with the sails but at that time no information. SORRY FOR THIS LONG STORY, but I see, that I am comming to the end.
The brassrings and door hinges on the orlopdeck are not blackened because they are not visible on the finished model. They are left to natural oxydation.
Time for some more photos showing the finishing works on the aft deck beams
pre-assembling of the ladder, so that the supervisor can inspect all areas
here you can see very well the beams from the top, constructed out of three elements
already posted photos in an earlier post

That model is a true Work of Art, it stands as an inspiration to all ship modellers. I would only dream of having such skill. The wood, stated as Swiss Pear, more resembles Maple to my eye, the grain and colour, but then I am no expert. His joinery is perfection, clean, crisp, and to scale. That model when complete will inspire many young and up and coming modellers for generations. Thank you for sharing it with us.

I recall those photos, they are the answer to my question in regards to how this could be made?
Many thanks for the overall positive comments and likes.....it is now already four weeks ago since my last post (time is running fast), so have to continue......
Remember the post and the following showing the construction of the powder room and the furniture
Before closing the deck the upper part of powder room and the compartment close to the stern has to be finished with all ladders, walls etc.
To fully understand where we are I add here the longitudinal section
to be continued ...... hope to make it earlier than four weeks

Some more photos of the hold with floor riders and the foremast footage and the deck beams for the hold (area of main and foremast) all beams are notched like these two exemplars to fit into the deck clamps to be continued .....
