I do not know if the decorations can be purchased separately. Contact piratepete007,a member of this forum, and he can answer your question. Or try contacting Euromodel directly by email. Thank you.

Wow - that is quite the kit! My Constructo Prince is listed as 1/61 scale & 35 inches long - seems a little short for that scale. Does yours have a length listed?

Beautiful job,Vince!
All those sails really make it stand out. I know what you mean by difficult - I don`t know if I could have done mine without Pete`s help & advice. By the way,I also have the Constructo Prince sitting in my closet
. It`s not the greatest as far as accuracy,but could be made presentable with a bit of research & scratching. Thanks much for the compliment!

Hi Phil - If you contact piratepete007 he can answer any question you have about Euromodel. He writes the building instructions for their kits & is a member of this forum. He was extremely helpful to me when I was building the Royal William. I can tell you the Euromodel plans are probably the best you will find - very accurate & well detailed. I have not dealt with Euromodel directly,but I believe they are a quality company that cares about their customers & would not hesitate to buy from them.

Hi everyone. Progress has been slow,but I have got the fore & main sails rigged(except for the tacks). The mizzen topsail is done also. Now I need to make a bunch of rope coils to hang on the belaying points before adding the lateen yard due to space to get my hands in getting limited
. Thanks for looking in

All good advice - as far as seeing a doctor,don`t bother. You are becoming what`s known as a "shipaholic" like most of us here. there is no known cure,so just go with it

update - topmast sails almost done
. Main & fore sails started. Getting hard to get my hands in around the belaying points - my next ship will not have sails!

Simplified,yes - I was only referring to this particular ship,not the evolution of sail configurations

You are correct - the lower mizzen yard is only used to hold the lower corners of the mizzen topsail. Very nice job you are doing,by the way!

Hi everyone. Haven`t posted for a while due to being tied up with house stuff. I have,however,got the topgallant yards & sails rigged along with attaching the topmast yards. Not perfect,but I think it passes the galloping horse test
. Thanks for looking in!

Here you go - with the kit being 1/87 scale(HO scale I believe), it`s not very big. Many of the details are molded on - hand rails & so forth - so a bit of work needs to be done to make it more realistic. With so many details molded on,there isn`t a lot of parts.

Ages of Sail also has a good selection of fittings. Bluejacket Shipcrafters also has many fittings.
