We Have a home there in Luzon Pangasinan Province Lived there for 5 years than bought this place in Florida hope to do a 6 mo 6 mo thing!
 
I also completed one side of the ship's cannons! I decided to make brackets to connect all the cannon rigging, rather than try to mount directly, which worked well. I also made the rope coils using 2 pieces of plastic attached to a metal rod, I used this method on my other ships, and it works well! I distressed the rope and pulleys. with brown stain. I will finish installing the cannons on the other side.

I also found an inexpensive source for rigging line. The line is used for Leather sewing, it comes In many colors and diameters. I found it on Amazon. line is great. I use tan and dark brown in .4, .6, and .8 diameters

I am glad you asked! I have been in deep thought about how to attach that fan to the ship:p Sorry about the photographs not one of my areas of expertise!!!:rolleyes:
 
I'm slowing down a bit on this kit! The instructions are a bit confusing, as there are two sets, one in Italian and one in English translation. English is worthless. The Italian/Chinese instructions provided are different than the English version? Makes you think!! But I am coming along. 1000000557.jpg1000000556.jpgIMG_20250318_182759634.jpg

Hi. May I ask you to take a photo of the nose figure. I'm interested in taking a closer look at her.

The wood carving upgrade I purchased, the nose piece comes in 3 pieces: the front, two side pieces, and, of course, the crown. The pictures I took do not do it justice, but they will give you a general idea

For anyone interested in building the HMY Caroline, the Lloyd McCaffery model is a great source of details. He is light years ahead of my ambitions but still helps to set some goals.

Allan,,again, you amaze me.. I'm building the 1/30 RC and this link is amazing, workmanship and historical perspective..stern deadwood presented port/stbd interesting..I opened up several areas on my RC as well..lots of additional info here. Thanks again!
 
There is nothing amazing about me, believe me. I just like research as much as making sawdust. Regarding the pics, it is just coincidental that McCaffery has been one of my favorite model builders and authors for many years. In this case McCaffery went with a large scale rather than his normal area of super small scales so a closer fit for your project.

The workmanship is just wonderful!! the carvings I purchased are nothing compared to the above the detail on the head pieces are just about perfect
 
Hello Bandido.

The carvings are really beautiful. May I ask where you bought them and do they do other wood carvings on commission?

Best regards
