  1. well guys. Here we are again after some years i decided to finish the model. Lots of parts are missing cause i had to move two times to new house. i had to organize to order some new lumber and rigging parts, i also laser cutted some parts my self. I modified the model according to Lenarth Peterson book ''Rigging Period ship models'' i'm in the phase of completion of the standing rigging so i am working on building the yards. Good times, the repetitive work of cannons and ratlines is finished. Here are some photos.
  2. Hello,i build now this kit of OCCRE San Ildefonso.I make now the deck planking. I am in the second deck,but the planks 1mmX3mmX700mm isn't enough for all decks...i need more planks...is that happent in your ship IoannisZ ?

  3. hello sjors, yes it was my choice to copper the hull, and i know you have finished san ildefonso i have read your topic 1000000 times

  8. hello to everyone. i am thinking to give a try to make more realistic sails for my San Ildefonso i have the sails plans from the kit and scanned images from the book ''The Seventy-Four Gun Ship by Jean Boudriot Vol.3'' fortunately i know how to use photoshop, so i tried to resize the images from the book to my kit plans but i see a lot of differences to the proportions of the sails. when the bottom of the sail is 37.5cm the top is a lot shorter (no1 & no2)....so i tried to distort the sail from the book to meet the proportions of the kit sail..... i really dont know how to continue, if a leave the correct proportions do i have to make shorter yards ? should i continue with distorted sail ?? sorry for my English, i dont know if you can understand me well...
