Santa Maria - Mantua - scale 1:50 modified kit semi scratch and diorama

[Sgtmik]

Hello Zoly,
Thank you so much for bringing me along for the ride. I must say that the use of the diorama was an excellent choice for this particular model. I can see many benefits to doing something like this. One such idea is if/when someone gets discouraged with a particular build, instead of mothballing it, they can just finish it via a diorama and call it a work in progress.

That is a good idea.

I took this in San Juan Harbor.


I have more that are close up if you would like.

Zoltan,

Don't know how I missed this one - have always appreciated and learned so much from your work.
I've only built four so far, that Mantua Santa Maria was my first, when I was a young guy in my 20s ..
Looking very good indeed - will also follow along. Your worker platforms and such are so perfect !

Regards,

Hi Zoltan,
This build log is different and very interesting.
I will be keeping a close eye on this.
Excellent work, keep it up.
