Just read it's never too late to start a build log, so 6 1/2 years late, tho' not prolific in picture taking, I thought I'd put up a few pictures I have. It's really a poor quality kit, bought because you could get it on subscription. Big mistake, should've waited the year & bought the...

Hi guys, I found out about this site when the built of this d'Augustini wooden scale model kit was already underway. Never ever have I built a wooden ship in my life! Let alone this beauty of a ship. We will see where it all ends. Hopefully in a presentable show case! On SOS some remarks are...

Hello, just started to build this amazing vessel in scale 1:70. DeA's kit is very well done, qualitiy materials and decorations, but it is a kit and this time I want to go beyond and build a model that when I'll look at it I can say I couldn't make it better than that. Some pics of deks not yet...

Unfortunately i have joined after completing some of the build, i completed the hull build using the kit materials (yes the horrible bamboo), I then discovered the Sovereign of the Seas 1637 book by John Mckay and misguidedly decided to make alterations to the kit, believing it to be more...

Hi everyone in my first building log! :) At the moment I'm working on DeAgostini Soleil Royal kit and OcCres Golden Hind - I guess I will start another thread on that one in the future. I started my work at the end of 2019. I had an idea to do the interiors, but unfortunately the design flaws...

Hello everyone! Let me introduce myself. I’m Tom based in Manchester, UK. I’ve been modelling since I was teenager. I have started with plastic models of aircrafts as it was quite easy one. Then I moved to paper models – this gave me a chance to really work on the details and creativity. I’ve...

I am starting a new project. The same customer provided me with a job again. This will be the VICTORI model by Deagostini magazines. The project is long-term, therefore, for a long time. I will try to make a decent model out of it. So, let's begin.

HMS Sovereign of the Seas - Bashing DeAgostini Beyond Believable Boundaries - by DARIVS ARCHITECTVS Well, I just finished La Couronne and its display case a few hours ago, and swore that I would take a break before starting another project. That didn't happen. On to Ship #2. Research on...

Editorial note added following the completion of this build: This build report is crazy long - unhelpfully so. If you're not interested in all the details and just want to see how it all turned out use this link to see the final result: Final Images. If that sparks your interest and you want to...

Hi all, I started building HMS Victory back in March of last year, one month into the build I started posting updates on YouTube, but over the last 6months it’s turned into a build log, I will post a link to my channel if anybody would like the check out my build...

My attempt of HMS Surprise. Work on it when I get frustrated on the Soleil Royal. Got at the summer clearance, price too good to pass up.

Hi: I am just getting started in building wood ships now that I have retired and finally setup the workshop I've always wanted to have. My first foray is the Deagostini Victory cross section. I have see several builds on the internet and it struck me as one I would like to try. I will...

On May 3, 2009 I officially started to build the Santìsima Trinidad's Cross Section. It is the second part of the De Agostini partwork made up of 160 weekly issues in which you build A) the entire model and later B) the Cross Section. It seemed me quite simple to build and I thought to...

Hello Everyone Firstly,a few of the longer standing members will remember this log before the crash.Unfortuneately my images were lost when my laptop harddrive fried so I was unable to repair the log. I am going to attempt to present a sequence of pictures that show the best I can,the progress...

I thought I would like to share with you guys my very first attempt at doing a wooden model - well any model really. I have been at it for the last three weeks, and am really enjoying it. There have been a few mishaps along the way. I glued the 8th frame in the wrong way round and a few of the...
