Sovereign of the Seas - Sergal 1:78 (with hopefully many added details)

[Phillipsart]

Here is an image from the front. It’s an unfinished project. Unfortunately the builder is not well is not able to continue with the build.

I have an opportunity to purchase this.

I will certainly will need some help on this one. Although I’m succeeding with my mantua HMS Victory build. I been told it’s one of if not the hardest model ship kit to build.

I do plan on starting a build log.

Hi all,
Kurt as always -- thank so much for your very knowledgeable posts.

Phillip thanks as well - very happy to have you aboard. Yes, great opportunity for you.
From what kit? and will you create a build log? regarding this ship many experts here will be so willing to help as well.
-----------
First set of gammonings are done. Finally -- and STILL all LED's are still operational - what a relief.
I have a short video of the perfect 27k flickering lights on my iPhone, but cannot load it here at SoS --- hhmm?

Thanks so much for the likes, or just for dropping by for a look, as well as the so helpful comments

Regards,

It's always a win when after a large refit or hull modification, you find that you didn't cut any LED wires!!! That's a win. Your ship looks glorious.

Dont forget to glue small wooden wedges to the bowsprit behind where the gammoning lashing will go. This prevents the lashing from sliding down the bowsprit and slackening. Do this before you start lashing the gammoning, and align the wedges properly in a vertical line.
