pirozzi Posted August 13, 2016 Share #153 Posted August 13, 2016 Hi Garym, i watch your progress to SoS and it looks better than mine. I have problems with the scale of the bras parts, that seems to be a little biger. Do you have the same problems? All the best Cristi Hi Cristi,I had the same problem and most of the metal decorative parts had to be cut down and adjusted to fit. Vince P.

cristikc Posted August 14, 2016 Author Share #154 Posted August 14, 2016 Hi Vince. I look a lot to your building log to take some ideas, and it is a great help for me. Also i look to Denis, Garim and other logs, and i say to all Thank you for posting, because it helps a lot everyone. The instructions from the Mantua-Sargal are not very good.

I was to the sea side, and now, "fresh" i will go back to my work, but hope to have time to work to SoS Cristi Hennie and edmay 2 Quote Current build : Sovereign of the Seas - Mantua 1:78 scale Finished: San John the Baptist - Cross section Santisima Trinidad - Cross section Galery Santisima San John the Baptist ( San Juan Bautista) Galery San John HMS Victory 1805 - Cross section - Corel 1:98 scale Panart (Mantua) 740 Battle Station Battle Station Panart 740 Galerry On Hold: HMS Bounty 1:64 Mamoli MV39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Jarman Posted February 10, 2018 Share #171 Posted February 10, 2018 Hi Cristi, Looking good. I have been considering this kit for a couple of years. Just don't know if i want to build such a complex kit. However looking at your log i am getting closer to investing in it. I will follow your build with great interest.

cristikc Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share #172 Posted February 10, 2018 Hi Paul, it is an excellen kit (after you finish), but for the moment i work hard with some problems with the brass parts. Some are bad finished ibn the kit, some are a little bigger (the scale is a little different for wood parts and for bras) Hope at the end to be ok.

pirozzi Posted February 10, 2018 Share #173 Posted February 10, 2018 Hi Cristikc, I remember the problems I had with all of the metal fittings when I built her. I had to cut many of them down and even had to move some of the hull trimmings in order to get them to fit. It all worked out in the end but required a lot of patience along the way. Looking good.

cristikc Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share #174 Posted February 10, 2018 Hi Vince, i remember the log you had, and also Denis had the same problem.. i understood that for wood they made a new cutting plan, tat is a little smaller.. We have to build, as we can, and hope to have good results. It is a pitty because the price of this kit is high Regards Cristi DenPink and Hennie 2 Quote Current build : Sovereign of the Seas - Mantua 1:78 scale Finished: San John the Baptist - Cross section Santisima Trinidad - Cross section Galery Santisima San John the Baptist ( San Juan Bautista) Galery San John HMS Victory 1805 - Cross section - Corel 1:98 scale Panart (Mantua) 740 Battle Station Battle Station Panart 740 Galerry On Hold: HMS Bounty 1:64 Mamoli MV39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hennie Posted February 11, 2018 Share #175 Posted February 11, 2018 Hi Cristi, you did a great job! I am with my SotS just behind you. Just finished the decorations on the port side. I had to make almost all the brassparts a lot smaller to get them fit. Regards, Hennie cristikc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Jarman Posted February 11, 2018 Share #176 Posted February 11, 2018 Don't know if this is a problem with Mantua kits. But I have the same thing with the brass scrollwork on my kit. It took quite a bit of filing to get the parts to fit. Luckily I don't have a lot of brass decoration for this kit. But as you so rightly point out we pay a lot of money for these top end kits and should not expect these problems.
