Hi, Peter from the Netherlands

A small update.
Only one month to go before I receive my birthday gift. I can't wait!
In the meantime, I’ve watched dozens of videos and blogs, and I’ve already started buying some tools.
I’ve also made a few decisions regarding the build:
  • I’m going to use the Artesanía Latina (AL) color scheme, and I’ve already received the AL paint set.
  • I also prefer the stern of the AL version, especially the rudder section. I’m going to try and have the stern ornaments 3D-printed.
  • Furthermore, I’m still debating the figurehead. If I want to stay as close to the AL version as possible, it will be the "Warrior" figurehead.
If anyone has any suggestions or advice, please don't hesitate to share!

PS,
It was brought to my attention that I should credit my sources for photos as well, so here they are: I found these images on the SeasModels website and in the AL instructions.

Hi Peter,
I can say welcome but you was here before me .
I have build the ST from Occre so any question....just ask!
 
Hi Sjors,
Thanks!
Did you follow the Occre colors and about the stern decorations, did you follow the instructions or did you some modifications?

That’s right, my wife already bought my present back in early March for my birthday, on the condition that I wouldn't get it until my birthday party (which is over Pentecost)
I hope to see you there for some advice when I start my build log.
Greetz, Peter
