  1. Is this on the Vanguard Models site yet? I couldn't find it? Chris
  2. 150 years since tragic SS Gothenburg sinking - ABC News Chris
  3. James, Pavel did say that the kit is a bit of a constant evolution and may even be upgraded further down the track. Now this is all well and fine but given the postage alone to Australia is almost $200 AUD and the wait time is for delivery is 2 months (both figures quoted by Denis to myself via email), I am sort of loathe to purchase a kit only to find it has been improved whilst awaiting delivery. I understand the current situation in Ukraine and the time and money constraints. Yours is looking awesome btw. Chris.
  4. I am seriously considering buying this, but now Pavel has posted on FB that the V3 comes with new "improved" oars after April. Sort of makes me wonder when to buy as maybe other stuff will be "improved" in the future?
  5. Thanks Pat, this is the exact type of solution I was hoping to find. Will give it a go. Chris
  6. Hi, can anyone suggest a method to make flat rope coils to lay on the deck behind gun carriages etc? These cause me all sorts of grief. Thanks.
  7. I have done the Amati Santa Maria and the Mantua Santa Maria. Both are good kits that can be further enhanced by a bit of good old fashioned bashing. Both have pro's and cons like all kits really. I would say of the 2 I prefer the Mantua. But you really need to cut down on the ratlines on that one. There's way too many. You might also like to check out this newer version from Pavel Nikitin https://shipsofpavelnikitin.com/details?code=CSM01 I will definitely be getting this one day.
  8. Handrails added and dry fitting of flag locker and tiller housing.
  9. It used to film here regularly until the main star was accused of sexual misconduct against many female performers over the years. I must add though, that I think he was exonerated of the charges. But it still stuffed his career.
  10. Is a shame I live in Australia as I have long admired this model, Amati Bireme Greca Scale 1:35 $75 I am sure you will get many offers.
  11. First dry fitting of rudder. Needs more work, but getting there. I replaced the Amati kit supplied hinges with longer Corel ones from the same era vessel.
  12. More progress on the stern decoration and quarter galley windows. Rudder next I think.
