I have just come to know of this kit in the last 24 hours or so, and am wandering around the internet trying to learn everything I can about it. I will be following your build here with keen interest!

I just found this build thread and went through all 4 pages. Your work here is really beautiful and clean. It looks great! This is a kit I have had my eye on, so I'm watching with extra interest. Keep up the good work!

This project is coming along very nicely! I am just now looking into a project for the San Ildefonso, or maybe the Montanes. Is it just me, or does anyone else notice that the 2 main gun decks are closer together (top to bottom) than on similar British ships of this time period? Both the San Ildefonso and Montanes seem to have the gunport opening very close together, top to bottom (not side to side). It's like there is very little room on the lower gun deck for people to stand--moreso than normal! Does anyone else notice this?

He has had a number of videos available on Youtube for many years. I don't know of his current whereabouts.

I find the recent Caldercraft claim that Surprise will be released by the end of the year to be comical, and insulting to their customer base. They have not updated their website in, quite literally, a decade. I have no idea what's going on with that company, but they don't seem to be interested in developing new kits.

I just visited Caldercraft's website as I have been doing for, oh, about a decade, looking for updated information about their new releases. The "Latest News" section has literally not been updated in any way in, I believe, a decade or so. They're apparently still working on HMS Surprise and the mystery 74 gun ship. The real ships those models are based on were actually made in a much shorter time period. I find their approach to the website amateurish and highly frustrating. New kit development in this hobby can be measured by keeping track of where Jupiter is in its orbit around the sun. It completes a revolution every 12 years.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
