I had a recent opportunity to take studio quality photos of my model, Revenge (1577). This build was an extensive kit-modification of the Amati Victory Models 1:64 kit I built in 2013. I gifted it to a relative several years later, but didn't have the chance to take good photos before it left its moorings in my home: it will now be returned to take its place in his office.
My modifications included substituting pear hull planking and scratched masts and spars from boxwood. The kit's rigging thread was also replaced with SyrenShipModels rope; pear blocks from Syren were substituted for the typical ungainly looking square ones supplied in this and many other Euro kits.
The model is displayed on a custom-routed baseboard that has an inset of reflective bronze-colored acrylic. I also opted for small brass gryphon creatures to support the hull. I wanted something appropriate to complement the maritime age of the ship.
This kit is an excellent one designed by Vanguard Models' Chris Wattton and is still available.
