President - Sergal - Art. 792

[Ondras71]

I am inserting a photo of the finished model from the Sergal - President Art kit. 792.





Among Chapman's plans, a pattern for the kit was found - the English West India Trader. Unfortunately for my construction late.



The kit was modified to greater historical fidelity, the 1:60 scale was finally adjusted to a more accurate 1:90.

Thanks Donnie, no problem.

A few more photos to compare the size. The duration of the construction is 5 years and 3 months.

From 11.09. to 19.09.2021, with my ship model, I participated in the World Championship of Category C in Rijeka, Croatia. Naturally in the C8 category, which is a recently opened category for models made of kits. Competing against other models and judged by a strict committee, the model was awarded 87.67 points, which was enough to earn a bronze medal. Following silver medals in previous smaller competitions, I came to face a strict requirement to comply with ship plans, which is one of the award criteria according to the international organization NAVIGA, up to 10 points out of a hundred. The inadequacy was caused by my complete reconstruction of the "imaginary ship President" kit and my ignorance of how to edit the documentation correctly.
Nevertheless, I am extremely satisfied with the result. This proves that a properly well built model from a poor kit can succeed in an international competition...

Congratulations also from my side - such a competition is a real experience and also helpful to get real feetback from the judges and other modelers.
Especially the Naviga rules are very special to understand the thinking of the judges.

I am happy to see one very good friend of mine, and btw. a very good modeler (several gold medals), who is acting also often as a judge - Zjelko Skomersic.
During my years living in Croatia I was often visiting him and worked together with him in his workshop in Krk on iland Krk.
Maybe he was also judging your model.......


and: I underline the proposal by Jim - would be interesting to see also othe rmodels of this competition
Maybe you start a short topic here in this area:

Worldwide Events: Exibitions, Championships, etc.

Thank you very much everyone for your positive words. I am glad that I was able to take part in this event and experience the atmosphere and the work of the judges.
Zeljko Skomeršič evaluated only classes C1 and C3. During a trip to his museum on the island of Krk, as WC participants, we had an above-standard lecture and a demonstration of the workshop.
I took a few photos on the spot myself. More photos can be viewed together with the results here: https://wc2021.hsb.hr/gallery/ https://www.shipmodeling.ru/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=78&t=75025&start=15
