Pilar by Adrieke - Constructo - Scale 1:27


Recommended Posts

Its been awhile but I am finally back to building.

 

I recently moved and I don't have a workplace anymore at the moment, just a foldable table setup outside.

 

that's why I got this kit which don't require as much room and I can pack away after I am done building for the day.

 

So far I have already  finished the first planking. I didn't take to many pics but I ll add them in the next post.

 

Current builds : HMS Bounty, Constructo Pilar

Next build : undecided

On the Shelf : AL San Juan, Mamoli HMS Victory

Builds on hold : Ochre Gorch Fock, Hachette/Amati Black Pearl

Previous Builds Gallery : Virginia; King of Mississippi

Previous Builds logs : AL King of Mississippi 1/80

Nice to see you back at it Adrieke. It has certainly been some time. Sorry to hear you have lost your workbench due to the move. Any chance you will get some permanent place to build.

 

Cheers

Thanks Carl and Grant

as promised an update on where I am at :

 

I had a look at what the real Pilar looks like and If possible adapt my build to it. I am a bit confused though as I found pictures of it renovated where they removed most of the air intakes.
