Some time ago I bought the Victory from Ebay for what I thought was a good price. I then purchased some additional items from Woodysmodelworks.co.uk to hopefully make it more interesting.
After building the Blandford I wanted another POF kit and so tried to sell the Victory to help pay for my...
hi all, I've been working on this project for a number of years now, and have maybe 10% more to go- but I thought I would try to collect the photos from along the way into a build log here. Hopefully to get the inspiration to finish the job, and get her into a nice case/display. Originally...
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...

I have recently...

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...

This ship is a model kit that was supplied, on the Italian market, by De Agostini starting from the beginning of 2010 and lasting after 140 weeks . . .
Each issue contains some pieces to build the model, while the booklet contains two different sections: the most...
