qaz_666 Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share #68 Posted January 18, 2014 Well, the Montañés is finished . At the end, I placed the flag that had bought years ago. I did another one in paper, and was pretty cool though, but I couldn't find the tone of yellow that I would have liked. I was also complicated thing because I could not print fine colors in my printer so, I have chosen the flag from Artesania Latina. You can see both together in a photo so you can judge them . Anchors have been changed by larger ones , were also purchased a couple of years ago on a visit to Madrid ( I think it was in the same package as flags ) also added chain rudder, and the latest maneuvers were braces and bowlines . After all these years (4), I managed to make a success of the model. The truth is that it was a nice project. With its ups and downs , like everything in life , but I learned a lot about this type of ships, especially its rigging. I'm pretty proud of how it turned out in the end, I think it has been worth all the effort to improve this kit Montanes. Some things badly there, but the truth is that the planes of the rigging are quite painful. Too bad for oCcre at this stage Oh my God, I wish I coud made better photos but I couldn't find a decent background. I'm gonna make some reforms to accommodate the boats, and at that time I will make the story as it deserves. And now, if you do not feel bad, I'll summarize the Montañes ...

joemo Posted February 18, 2014 Share #79 Posted February 18, 2014 Ricardo, Does the kit have English instructions? I have heard that the OCCRE kits lack good English instructions. This is something I would definitely need. Thanks Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjors Posted February 18, 2014 Share #80 Posted February 18, 2014 Joe, I will answer the question for you...No, they don't have a manual in English. I have ask it several times but they are saying no..... But when you want to build a kit of OcCre, they have good photo documentation. And if you want to know something, there is also google translation.
