Santisima Trinidad Occre 1/90 scale

[dj56]

Cannons on the starboard side all built in, now start at the port side.
the construction is going a bit slower, partly because of the World Cup, where Belgium plays a leading role, cycling (tour de france) and especially the beautiful weather, and the admiral who wants to go outside

Hello Willy,how are you doing,any updates with your build?

hello Zoly, sorry not to reply to your mail before but I had a problem with the laptop, stayed without communication for 17 days, and only got back this afternoon trying several times to enter the forum via my smart phone but had each time a problem with logging in and an incorrect password.
Due to the many work in summer time, I have not had much time to work on the trinidad outside of a few small things that I could do, but I hope to be able to go back soon.

Good that you were able to fix it.....good to have you back

 

[dj56]

So, the warm summer months are over and I got back to work with my trinidad this summer had the feeling of being burnt up and I did not feel the urge to go on with it partly because of the heat and the many other work I had, but it walking and cycling in free time together with the admiral have my batteries recharged and can go back with a lot of enthusiasm.
I started placing the copper on the hull, but have to say with varying sucses have already been repeated several times because I did not like the work I did, I will also do the right side of the hull again for the same reason. .. I do not like it (but we will start over until I am satisfied)

hello Pat, yes my stern is the same as that of your Santisima but I'm not there yet what I will do with it, the same as with the coperhull maybe I will paint it in the end because it does not give me a 100% satisfaction
we'll see !

today the right side (port side) of the hull finished with copper, from far it looks good ... let us hope that it is not far from good, but I let you judge.
tomorrow I start again the other side (is already finished but is far from good and am not satisfied with it).
the necessary energy is back and from now on follow back regular updates of my Santisima Trinidad

Hi Willy, the copper on the Hull looks really good, maybe if you took the shine away a bit, but from the pictures it looks fine,
Cheers Andy

Hi Andy, the intention is to edit it with a product that shows the green aged color I do not know how to explain it but I think you will understand what I mean

Hey Willy the coppering looks great. I think aging the copper will really make it look realistic.

 

[dj56]

Hello colleagues, here is a small update of the Santisima today I finished the hull with the coperplates I am more or less happy with the delivered result knowing that this was my first time, it could be even better but this will be for a next construction Now I'm looking around a little bit about how I can do the aging of the coper if someone from me can give me a tip I would find it very helpful.
next time more
