Wappen Von Hamburg. COREL kit

[Algirdas]

I have seen that this forum does not contain information about COREL's largest and most sophisticated ship model, Wappen von Hamburg. This is my second ship model I am currently making. I'll share my photos and experiences on the ship model, and maybe you will like this ship model and decide to make it yourself.




I don't have the first pictures of the ship's production. There is only one plank deck on board.

To save the tables I did not glue the lower deck floor as they will be almost invisible. I painted the floor only with paint.

this is a great model. The only "biggy" I did with sails. It is also my wife's favorite

Very nice work indeed.I really like this kit by Corel,it may be dated compared to some manufacturers but it does build into an extremely nice model with care.

Kind Regards

Hi Algirdas, This is amazing. Could you share how you built this element?

In Ship model kit was added roofs, but they were crooked and too small. As you can see in the photos, I glued the balsa wood, peeled, stroked with putty and got the right shape.

Very good work - I am very happy to see this kit in execution - this will be a very interesting building log

Superb modeling. I’ll have to do some research to understand the history of this ship.

it’s a shame I have little time to produce my model. I’m uploading you some photos of the ship

Very nice work,Corel's castings have stood the test of time,they have nice crisp detail despite the kit being on the market for several decades.Not so those by Mantua,Panart and Sergal.

Kind Regards

One sculpture in the set is wrong size (I think that is assembly error)


But in real Wappen von Hamburg ship this part was different. In real ship was just 1 big window between the doors.


So, my solution is change this detail:

Every will be fine and 2 sculptures will no longer be needed.

When I made mine (20+years ago) not all the side figures fit in- there were ?spare. Worth checking out before final fit
