    Paul, You're doing an incredible job. I can't imagine how will be your next projects. I really like the finish of the decks planking. It is very real. What wood did you use and what was the process to achieve that aspect? Regards, Manuel

    Thank you Anja for your answer. I had seen that kit from Mantua but I think that it is a different kit. The Amati one seems to be bigger and have more elements even the bulkwark is different. Searching on the Internet you can find several old references in ebay about the Amati kit. Regards, Manuel

    Does anyone know if this Amati kit is still available? I'm afraid it's a discontinued kit : The reference could be 1701 but I don't find it in the Amati web: Once finished, It has to be very interesting:

    Thank you Mike. I like your Chili Red color. You can try patenting it

    Mike, You're doing a very good job. What is the reference (manufacturer/code) for the red color in the gun carriages?

    Very good job Bob. The result was worth it. What filler are you using?
  28. Sirius
    Looking great, Bob.

    With my AL San Francisco cross section kit, I tried to blacken the brass (supposedly) cannon with Birchwood Casey's Perma Blue and didn't work. However, it succeeded with the steel cannonballs.

    Great work Bob, If you don't mind, I will be following along.

    Hi Aqueous, Great work! I am building the same model too and I would like to share with you or someone interested some tips and changes that I have done. I hope it's not too late because your last entry is almost one year ago. At this moment, I have finished the lower and the middle decks with all the decorative elements, the planking of the hull and I am working on the upper deck. I didn't follow the instructions in the same order because the gun carriages, boxes, barrels, etc. are added when the entire structure is complete. I thought that doing so would be difficult to put those elements, specially to attach the gun carriages to the interior hull, so I glued them once that every deck was finished. I also completed the first planking just until the beginning of the deck for having enough space from the outside. I've made some improvements: - Gun and gun carriages were not very realistic so instead of that I have used Amati Wooden gun - The whales and upper bulkwarks termination in the hull is a wallnut plank and thicker than the supplied - Inner gunports planking as you did - Blakened cannonballs in triangular wood trays, not in buckets - Blakened chains instead of brass wire for the chain plates (not yet installed) Here you are a few pics of different phases: Current state: Lower deck: Middle deck: Hope to see your next entries soon.
