Hello.
My name is Rafael, I am from Russia, the city of Rostov-on-Don.
I finished this model from Mantua, construction has been going on since the beginning of 2018.
The blue-green “backing” is an element of the future case, still in the manufacturing process.
I decided to move away from the toy look, which is offered by the manufacturer and in which previously built models of this set were presented, there was a desire to make a more realistic image.
Therefore, all brass parts (staples, rings, falconets and a gun) were blackened, steel parts burned.
In the work I used stains for nuts (hull, mast, sensible things and oars) and for mahogany (runners, carriages). I bought the cheapest in a hardware supermarket. Black details (planshire, etc.) were painted with Tamiya black acrylic paint, the underwater part and oars were painted with white Tamiya paint.
I didn’t like the native threads for rigging, I bought it separately.
Sail sewed himself, took information from everywhere. The native instruction on it practically does not give any sensible information.

My model won a third degree diploma at the Tsemess Bay 2019 Cup in Novorossiysk.
Since the rules of competitive pricing are stricter in Russia, this is tantamount to a bronze medal in European competitions.
