    Thank you Chris, happy modelling! Martin

    Hello Jim, Thank you for the nice words! I would be interested in the Amati Victory. I see that you are doing the same project! Since this is a prototype, I guess you work by plan only. This is probably quite a challenge, but what can you do, when therer is no kit available?! Good luck with it ! Martin

    Now it is finally finished. It took a bit longer at the end, because one of the glass panes crashed when I was trying to fit it in , so I had to order another one 😞 but now it is done after all!

    Thank you very much! It took a long time , but finally I made it. I see that you are doing the Victory. That might be my next project, too. Initially I was hoping for the Amati Victory 1:64, but I am afraid they will never put it out for sale...

    Thank you Mort! The figures were ordered from Krick, A German company. They were the same scale as the ship 1:64 and from the same era (fortunately!). The only thing I had to do was paint them.

    Danke und Grüße nach Mecklenburg! Martin

    Hello, Some time has passed. It took me a long time to find someone, who send me the parts to build the display case. I stained the oak parts in mahagony and put varnish over it. Then I glued the parts together. Finally I measured the slots for the glass panes and ordered them online. There are only two panes missing, then I will be totally finished.

    Hello Henrik, Thank you for the nice words. I am still not sure what to do next. This is my fifth historic ship model . Perhaps I will try something completely different, for example a radio controlled boat, a tug-boat perhaps like the Imara. The Amati Victory would be interesting, too, but they have not yet made it available - unfortunately. By the way, I have just watched a Swedish movie (Let the right one in). This movie really impressed me, reminded me of my youth/childhood... Happy modelling Henrik. Greetings from Germany, Martin

    Already finished : Santa Maria, Bounty, Mistique, San Felipe

    Almost finished: Agamemnon

  11. Karinmutter
    Thank you Matthias for your suggestion. Your case looks really good. Especially the bottom part. The problem of the Agamemnon is the size; 130x50x100cms. I hope this is not causing any problems... Martin

    Hello again, Now I am almost finished. Only two things I have to do: Build a stand (I will make a similar stand to the one used during building, only with new timber. The other remaining task is to organize (buy?) a display case. I tried to order one from a British company that is selling acrylic cases custom- made. Unfortunately they do not provide cases of the size of the Agamemnon😩 If one of you has a suggestion for me, you are welcome!!

    Hello mobbsie, Your Agamemnon looks really great, especially in that display case. I have mostly finished mine (after a very very long time). I still have to make a stand. But my biggest problem is the display case. I gave in the measurements at the site of a company that makes display cases, but it was too large for them to build. Could you give me a hint, how I could solve that problem? I see your display case looks fantastic! Greetings Martin
  14. Karinmutter
    Thank you! I see that you have a very nice collection of completed ships. I must take a look sometime! Martin

    Thank you Bill!

    Hello Agamemnon-fans, I have just finished some more steps towards the end. Now there are only a few things to do: Instal the rest of the yard braces, attach the small boats and make a stand. I also have not yet found an appropriate display case , not so easy for a model of that size...

    Thank you Martyn , if I should decide to build a Vasa as a next project, I will try this one. I see flaws and "mistakes" in a kit as a challenge and almost all kits need some modifications. Important for me is that it is close to the original and the deAgostini seems to be very close! Greetings Martin
  18. Karinmutter
    Hello Martyn, You are doing a great job, I really like your Vasa and the figurines let the ship come alive! I am almost finished with my present ship (Agamemnon) and I consider doing the Vasa next. By coincidence I came upon the de Agostini version. Before, I only knew of the Corel, Mantua and Billing boat kits. But since the people from the Vasa museum seem to approve to the DeAgostini vasa, I wonder if it is the best version Do you agree? Can you recommend buying it? Happy modelling and greetings from Germany Martin

    Thank you sailor: You can never have enough patience , especially at our hobby!
  20. Karinmutter
    Thank you mort. I had a look at a few of your ships and I was also impressed!
  21. Karinmutter
    Thank you Jim. I liked your San Felipe , too ! Right now I am contemplating what to do next. Should I continue with the Batavia scratch build project, or will this be too complicated ? The Wasa is also a ship that appeals to me. Or should I do something completely new, like a radio controlled, swimming tug boat for example? I still have a few months for a decision, I guess 😉
  22. Karinmutter
    Another step forward: Finally I put on the yards. Since I am working fulltime now, the amount of time for the ship is limited. Who cares: The way is the goal!

    Hello Mr. Watton,

    I am a ship-modeller from Germany. With one exception (Batavia) I am a kit builder. Right now I am doing the final stages of the Agamemnon.

    By coincidence I found out that you have created a 1:64 version of the Victory for Amati. I have seen a few pictures and I am really impressed. Perhaps I would purchase the kit, but I read that it is not (yet?) released. Is this true and if it is, is there any date for a release yet?

    Greetings and best wishes,

    Martin

    Danke für die netten Worte, habe aus privaten Gründen ein paar Jahre Pause gemacht. Als es mir besser ging habe ich einfach das Modell abgestaubt und weitergemacht! Ahoi und frohes Schaffen! Martin
  25. Karinmutter
    Hello Jim, Thanks for the kind words. I am not sure what to do next, there is still the Batavia scratch build that is unfinished... I see you are doing the Amati Victory. I did not even know that there is a Victory from Amati. Hope your project is going well, I will have a look soon! Greetings Martin P.S.: I just had a search for the Amati Victory: It is a 1 :64 monster, even bigger than the Caldercraft version, but it is not (yet?) released. Well it is tempting for me to be honest: Chris Watton has a very good reputation!
