Very nice! I just found your channel. It looks like I will be binging this weekend. "Subscribed"

Thanks for the “sub” hope you enjoy.👍🏻

Gran trabajo 👋👍

[@robertsalanon2909]

Trés beau travail et trés propre ...Congratulations ...Magnifique !!...

[@DayTwo-w8n]

Like you I always hide a note in my models. For example I hide notes in the engine block of my car models. And I thought I was the only one who did that. 😊

[@A.MacDonald]

Brilliant, Don’t know where I got the idea, I just thought it was a golden opportunity to make some kind of “time capsule.” I do like to wonder if it will be discovered sometime in the future, and when exactly that might be. The model presumably must have some kind of shelf life long after I’ve gone. Thanks for watching and making your comments - Andy

[@dpraptorP]

beautiful ship and really well built! I really like the color scheme and the yellowish planking. Great subject as well!

[@ChrisArias-k8w]

Excelente trabajo amigo.. Digno de admirar ...Gracias por compartir parte de tu mundo a escala...

[@A.MacDonald]

Gracias por mirar. Si quieres ver más, puedes ver la construcción completa en mi canal y también la construcción del diorama debajo de la cubierta.

[@Shaunmclean12]

Wow, the feeling of completing such a tedious build must be so gratifying at the end. It looks amazing good job looking forward to seeing what you build next.

[@A.MacDonald]

I must admit there were times I thought I would never get it done but I did enjoy the overall process. Using KZbin was a great “concentrator” for sure. Glad you like it. Be sure to check out the continued build on my channel “Building Endeavour Mid-deck” videos. Cheers Andy

[@Peter-ew4df]

An absolutely beautiful model! I particularly like the vibrant colours used, which always elevates the models, in my opinion.

[@A.MacDonald]

Thanks for watching Peter, and the kind words.

[@villiersdevos1295]

Thank you for sharing. It is fascinating to see your project evolved into a beautiful ship. A museum quality replica. I am already looking forward to your next project.

Vielen Dank, dass Sie das gesagt haben, es hat auf jeden Fall viel Spaß gemacht, es zu bauen. Ich bin froh, dass es unbezahlbar aussieht!

anxious for the next !! great job on this one!!! decided on the subject for next ?

Yes it’s the mid section diorama that came with the kit. Starting it in the upcoming weeks.😀

It takes forever to build these! I've done it myself!💪💪🤝🤝

Indeed it does😀 worth it in the end though👍🏻

[@AndrewHayward-ej5pq]

I've just finished this im now starting on the mid section build

[@A.MacDonald]

Well done on completing Endeavour! Quite an achievement, for sure. Good luck with the next chapter and many thanks for watching.

[@МладенЈанковић]

A beautifully crafted ship, and what does it say in the note you left for someone in the future :)?

[@A.MacDonald]

Ah! The note…a time capsule of sorts with information about me and my wife, my parents, dates, what my job and hobbies are, current world events etc. Did you spot it?

[@garylowe6043]

Fantastic,I'm very impressed,I'm in the process of my second attempt at making a ship out of coffee stirrers and other bits and bobs I can find, would you be interested in me sending a picture of it ,I. Would value your opinion and or advice on my work .

[@A.MacDonald]

Yes, that does sound interesting (and quite challenging I suspect.) Although my videos are more of a “follow along” rather than a “how to” (I don’t class myself as an expert model builder, there are others far better) There is a email link on my main channel page. Feel free to send and I’ll try to help out with anything I think might help out.

[@Vermiliontea]

Is the blue paint historically accurate? I'm asking because while Prussian Blue was invented in the early 1700's, it wasn't really mass produced until very late 1700's/early 1800's (and Cook was 1768-1771). I guess it's possible, but I'm interested in if it is a historic fact?

[@A.MacDonald]

As I understand it, there are no official records that exist as to the actual colour it was painted, and artists who painted the ship are the only source of its colour. Other sources are paintings made in the late 1700s as kept in the Royal Museum Greenwich. I have read that it is a constant frustration for modellers of Endeavour that the colours vary so much and one cannot really pin down an acceptable and accurate colour palette. Therefore is the blue paint in my model historically accurate? Probably not. Was Prussian Blue used? Maybe. Here is a link to Karl Heinz Marquardt’s book if you’re interested to know more about Endeavour. www.awesomebooks.com/search?author=Karl%2BHeinz%2BMarquardt Thanks for watching! Cheers Andy

[@Vermiliontea]

@@A.MacDonald Thank you. Well, I know nothing much about ship models, but I do know a fair amount about paint. And I well understand the modeler frustration. Late last year I decided to add to my activities as retired by trying to build scale models. Not 2 year wood ship models, but much more expedient plastic WW2 tanks (they said that was the easiest subject). And I was astounded by being confronted with the lack of exact knowledge about the real things' camouflage paints. I assumed very exact information existed in records. A lot does, but surprisingly far from all. Some things will always be guesses. Anyway, information about what should be possible is a different thing. The only (practical) blue paint that existed before Prussian Blue was Indigo. And Indigo paint has a number of drawbacks. It's too expensive to be considered for area painting. It's not durable, it fades rather rapidly. And it's not a brilliant blue. It's a dull, blackish-greenish color of low saturation. If we look at yellows, brilliant yellow should have been limited to Lead-Tin Yellow, which again is too expensive for anything beyond decorative details. The Royal Navy used Yellow-Ochres for area yellow paint. Those come in a variety of hues, but not brightly saturated. Look at the recently, correctly repainted HMS Victory for reference. Red is a similar case. Red-Ochres were the main red paints (still are today). Brightly red would have been Minium (red lead) and mainly be seen on decorative elements. Back to blue, and Prussian Blue. The literature I have perused today, mentions that there is a text from 1764 that describes Prussian Blue as "commonly obtainable", though we are talking artist paint quantities, and as I said previously, mass production doesn't start until around 1800. Otoh, Prussian Blue is extremely strong and goes a long way mixed with white. 'Azure Blue' for instance was once a paint made from 1 part of Prussian Blue to 144 parts of white. And there is a recipe from as early as 1723 mentioning Prussian Blue being used in a wall paint for a church in Boston. So could Endeavor have been painted with blue as shown? Yes, I think so! It seems quite possible! Was she? Well, it seems we'll never know for sure. Artists painting ships, perhaps often used blue to depict what is actually intended to depict black + atmospheric effects? If she was painted with blue, it wouldn't have been the warm blue color that the book's cover shows though. Prussian Blue is a cold blue color. Warm blue pigments will not be available at costs around or less than pure gold until well after 1830.

[@A.MacDonald]

Seems like you certainly know your stuff, all things "paint." What an interesting read, and many thanks for taking the time to post. I'm sure this will help others following the build to make educated decisions on how to proceed. (If they haven't already got to the blue on their ship, that is.) Thanks again for watching!

[@copferthat]

Did your message say.... I forgot to taper my planking?

[@A.MacDonald]

Message….? Ah! to someone in the future. Sorry I can’t think what you are referring to. 🤷🏻‍♂️ planks done as required. Cheers Andy

[@carmencasado5013]

MA-RA-VI-LLO-SO!!!!!!!

[@jmchinch]

What did you use for the “nails” in the planking?

[@A.MacDonald]

The ones on the hull construction came with the kit. Small brass ones about 0.7 x 8.0 mm. The ones on the deck are drawn with black pencil. Cheers Andy

[@jmchinch]

This kit was published by Eaglemoss around 12 years ago. Thanks for watching.

Hi Andrew, what is the kit and scale please?

[@A.MacDonald]

Hi @Whiteknight1177, the kit is by Eaglemoss, and was published as a weekly magazine, with 125 editions around 12 years ago in 1:48 scale. Here is a link to where you still might get it. partworkscollectables.co.uk/Eaglemoss-Captain-Cooks-Endeavour Cheers Andy

you made a beautiful model . But the windows should be black and not sky blue

Yes I tend to agree. One of a few things I would have done differently to the magazine instructions. Maybe I could rectify this at a later date. In any event thanks for watching.😀
