  1. In the last photo, the state of the model is currently. It remains to work a little with a running rigging and the project will be completed. The assembly of the kit took more than year a leisurely assembly on weekends, and sometimes evenings on working days.
  2. Having installed the sailyards, I thought for a long time how to make sails. Although the sails from Occre are not bad, but quite dense, and I allowed the opportunity to make new sails. After thought, I used the sails from Occre, but decided to put them in a raised state. I know that sails are a difficult task, and my first sails are largely wrong. But the overall impression of the model was harmonious
  3. Weaving weveling on wants is not a very fun activity, and I had to start over after completing 70% of the work 😵 But in the end I was satisfied with the result. The selection of the color of the ropes may be questionable, but I decided to make these colors.
  4. There were no big problems with the wants, but I did not manage to set the juffers perfectly on the same level But I did not set myself this task
  5. When came time to set up the rigging, I put aside the shaggy ropes from Occre and used ropes from a local manufacturer. I didn't make big changes to the instructions from Occre, but used a slightly more correct setting of stags.
  6. For me it was a problem to choose the color of the windows on the stern. After a long trial, I settled on this color.
  7. My kit from Occre had spar from a light wood (I don’t know its name). I know Occre used to sell kits with African walnut spar. So I replaced the light wood for the masts with African walnut. Other than that, I didn't use Occre's mars and bought mars kits from a local manufacturer. I have a question about mars. I couldn't find any information on how this type of mars should be installed. High side forward (I mount it like this) or high side back. How right?
  8. Soon I reduced the number of wants and made new wantputtings. I purchased the solution from a local manufacturer of goods for models.
  9. Additionally, I bought anchors and semi-guns from Amati. I did not like the anchors from Occre, and there are no cannons for the second deck in the kit from Occre. I had to work on mounting the semi-cannons, but everything worked out. In the photo my first option is wantputtings. I did not like it, and soon changed the design.
  10. The last photo shows that I changed the location of the capstan. This is certainly not good, but the model is in far from reality.
  11. The boat from Occre, if it can call a boat, was replaced with a kit from another manufacturer. Unfortunately, the scale is a bit wrong, and the era is different, but I had no other option.
  12. Decided not to use Occre cannons and carriages, and made the carriages myself. It, of course, has no historical identity and artistic value, but I did not plan more detail on the guns.
  13. After the first layer of oil, I began to install berghout and other elements.
  14. After sanding, installing a latrines deck and some decorative details, it already looked like a ship
  15. At this point, I decided to make real ports for guns on the second deck and install guns in them in the future. The good news is that the cannon port hatches that Occre provides can be used with the lids open. Having cut the necessary holes in the sides, I began the installation of decorative trim with sapele trims.
