Wow, what a beautiful planking job. That wood coloration is gorgeous. May I ask, what is your opinion so far on this victory kit? I love Constructo kits for their materials and have built several over the years.

My daughter painted this for me when she was 9 years old. I know it isn't museum worthy, but it is priceless to me and I have it proudly displayed in my workshop(s) for the past 30 years. When ever she stops by, she says "I can't believe you kept that old thing after all these years" I tell her, it can't be bought with money marbles or chaulk.

I would have bought this if I didn't already have a Trumpeter 1/200 USS Missouri waiting it's turn.

I'm happy that you finally received a satisfactory result from this company, which I think is great, but it seems the elephant in the room has been missed. To me, the elephant is that pesky little issue of lack of communication on the companies part, which is usually a problem for businesses that wind up going out of business. A quick and simple email to clients that requested sails to be made making them aware of his issue with the machine.

I agree…
Communication is so critical, whether in business or in personal affairs.
The challenge in web based business and email communications is that these issues happen more frequently than they should.
In my world, face to face communication is the norm, and there is no room for error.

Pleased to say, Radimir has sent me an email that the sails are on their way.
He has communicated that he had problems with a machine that transfers images to the cloth. He reports that he had to purchase a new machine.
You always wonder when someone goes “dark” if it is health problems or what.
I will take pictures of the sails when received and present them on my build log of Santa Maria.
Anyways, all good!

The mushroom ventilations, once I get the configuration correct I can paint and place. So much small detail required now!

Having trouble getting ahold of Radimir of HisModels…
I confirmed a custom sail order in early June and was told via email that he was on holidays for the month.
I emailed HisModels at 5 weeks without a reply and emailed again last week at 6 weeks without a reply.
Anyone else having trouble with HisModel?
Want to give everyone the benefit of doubt, but starting to get frustrated.

Not historically like him. Hope it is just some glitch and not something really serious.
