Hello, everybody!

Some small progress at the "head"...

Totaly awesome,following with interest hoping to learn more of your technics and thoughts. Edwin

Thank you, Edwin, for your nice words! It's my first experience in model ship, all good thinks are very well received.

Hello!

Thank you for your support.

I continued with the head of the ship... very slowly!

Good Day to you,The tones of the wood are very realistic looking, outstanding workmanship,Edwin

Your treatment of the wood is beautiful. The overall effect really holds the eyes attention to the details.

Thank you for your nice words! I didn't apply yet any special treatment on the planking wood. Only 'the time" work for this effect!

Thank you Mike, for your support!

Hello!

I reached the moment I was afraid... the head of the ship! I fix first elements without finishing.

Hello everybody!

I'm not ready with small thinks with the decks but I decide to jump at galleon head. I want to look like in attached picture. This is the half-finished last part of stem.

Hello!

Just adjustments, small changes, reconditioning works!

Hello everybody!

I modified the capstan and I'm  ready to climb up to the forecastle deck. Only just test!

... with the last pictures, this was, summarily, the beginning of my first adventure in model ship... until today, of course!

... and some more pictures from the last year!

In order to continued the hull planking...

Photos from the planking time...

Some more pictures from the past...

Hello again,

Let's start my story!

From my childhood after I read "Captain Blood odyssey" I know that, sometime, I'll start to build my galleon. I bought this kit from Occre but after few days I decided to change everything. For the beginning my decision it was to place a new deck, the main deck, where, for about one year, I started my  apprenticeship. Sure, from the kit I keep only the keel, the frames and first layers strips wood. After that I closed the box of the kit!

After more than one year and half I was here:

I wish you hadn't waited so long.  This is a beautiful ship you are doing.

I'll do all I can do!

WOW, absolutely stunning work. What a beauty she will be when finished.
