    Mantua Sergal's Sovereign of Seas

    Re: Mantua Sovereign of Seas <r>The build is coming along very nicely <E>:greetings-clapyellow:</E> I wonder how the different kit manufacturers manage to come up with the same vessel looking and built so differently?<br/> I know your build is by Mantua and mine is by Artesania Latina...

    Mantua Sergal's Sovereign of Seas

    Re: Mantua Sovereign of Seas <t>Coming along a treat there Gary!! That kit seems quite well thought out and I presume the plan in the background of the last photo came with the Kit?<br/> That's another drawback with the partwork version that I'm doing at the moment, it can be difficult at...

    R.M.S.Titanic by Billing's

    That kit should keep you going for quite some time? I had better stock the beer fridge and relax in a comfy chair and just sit back and enjoy this build come together? Steve..

    Le Mirage Corel Scale 1:75

    Well done on the hinges Kent!! That looks like a more realistic result all round, of course there is a lot more work involved but to my mind the end result is worth it. Like your earlier example with the cut off pins inserted into the lid and then pressed tight against the hull is how I did the...

    Greetings!

    And a jolly fine welcome from across the pond! Look in on as many builds that you possibly can and decide for yourself how you would like to progress! But, never forget!! this is a hobby and there should never be a time limit on what you want to achieve :shock: Another thing, don't be afraid to...

    Santissima Trinidade 1:90 Scale OcCre

    Nice looking deck! I cant confirm or deny the thought about the nibbling plank? I can only say that what you have done looks just right. No doubt someone will have a definitive answer for you somewhere along the line. Keep it up, great stuff. Cheers, Steve.. :greetings-clapyellow:

    Santisima Trinidad - Occre Build Log [COMPLETED BUILD]

    Re: OcCre Santisima Trinidad Build Log <t>Very authentic looking sails you have there!!!<br/> I am seriously considering having some furled sails for my sovereign build? they look so much better than fully open sails, and its an improvement on bare spars.<br/> Once again, nice job<br/> Steve..</t>

    San Felipe 1690 - Panart

    Looking very good! I like the idea with the masking tape to mark the gunports, consider that tip copied!! With my Sovereign build I am led to believe that the provided decking planks will be lime wood, .5x5mm. I intend to use tanganyika .5x3mm, in a three shift system. Keep the updates coming...

    Le Mirage Corel Scale 1:75

    As you state, always nice to have an extra set of eyes looking in on your work! I couldn't agree more, what you see yourself is not what everyone else will see, eyes are drawn to various points of perspective in any walk of life. With this site there are fewer builds to focus on that may be...

    Korean Turtle War Ship - Young Modeler - 1/65 [COMPLETED BUILD]

    This looks a very interesting kit, I haven't seen anything like this before. The box contents looks to be of a decent quality and plenty of fittings, this is a build that I will need to keep my eye on. Steve..

    Santisima Trinidad - Occre Build Log [COMPLETED BUILD]

    Re: OcCre Santisima Trinidad Build Log <t>Looks very good!<br/> Best of both worlds, all the rigging is visible but with the addition of sail cloth.<br/> Are you furling all the sails /or just a selection?<br/> Nice job, Steve..</t>

    Santisima Trinidad - Occre Build Log [COMPLETED BUILD]

    Re: OcCre Santisima Trinidad Build Log <t>I have copied your block method in the past on my Victory build. I reserve that method for the heavier lifting blocks ie yard lifts. Far from being a tedious way of tieing a block I find it gives a bit more control on the length of the tail, but then...

    Santisima Trinidad - Occre Build Log [COMPLETED BUILD]

    Re: OcCre Santisima Trinidad Build Log <t>Some fantastic looking rigging skills on display!<br/> As well as a very educational build diary in general.<br/> I will certainly be using this diary as a reference for my SOTS build.<br/> Great stuff, thank you for posting, <br/> Steve..</t>

    Thanks for the replies! I am going to start the build soon, once I have all the keel and ribs. That should be sometime mid November, I'm really looking forward to this build, I am waiting for the last part of the Victory I'm building at the moment, part 120 is OUT OF STOCK "HOW". Its not much...

    Here is a question? I am collecting the new Deagostini partwork HMS Sovereign of the seas, and was wondering which forum thread would be the most suitable to start a build diary in? I wont be starting it until I have all the keel and rib parts and at least the false lower deck, but when I do, a...
