Sjors got a reaction from GrandpaPhil in HMS Sovereign of the Seas by Sjors - DeAgostini - 1:84
paint job done....
I think building time 10000 hours and paint time 100000 hours
The false canons are in place so she got her teeth.
All the other canons still has to go on the decks.
Also paint and attach the decorations for the bow part.

I put my ear back to my head and can hear to much
I'm waiting for my new false keel for the Santíssima Trinidad.
In the mean while I'll be preparing things for painting.
For the SotS of course.
So.....see picture.

Thanks Ulises,
The main reason to choose for DeAgostini is because I could do it by prats work.
Every month I receive 4 magazines with building materials.
Nice reading things and I could spread out the money.
It's gonna be more expensive then when you pay at once for the kit but that was my decision.
Should I do it again?
No!
Reason?.....
The material ( wood ) is bad sometimes.
Change a lot of wood.
Bamboo for the planking is not that beautiful.
And because you are receiving each month something you have to follow there way of building.
It is difficult to look forward.
I have almost all the magazines and find out that I still need decorations to paint and placed when the shrouds are all reading attach at the ship.
Even with the ratlines !
So I'm happy that I still painting and nothing has done at the masts and all that funny stuff.
I know that another Dutch builder is building very soon at the SotS from Sergal.
By the time he will started ( I hope this weekeind ) I shall ask him.
Or watch for your self......

So here I'am again.
It looks if I have done nothing but.....there are so many decoration that need to be painted.
And also all the beams that goes over the ship.
Between the beams there are coming also a lot of decorations .
But those has still be painted.
I'm feeling a little like Vincent van Gogh at the moment
But before you are thinking that I abandoned the model ,a few pictures.
Enjoy .

Hi Anton,
Yes, they give a schedule .......at the time that you don't need it!
In the start of the build they re saying make it black above the waterline.
I dont, i make it blue.
The railing should be sapelli stained, i make them black.
I,m now at the stage (80) that they tell me to paint the side of the railing gold.......
Nice when you are using stain.....
So i have an underground.
Same as the wales and other small beams that i have to attach now.
I found out that they are having a gold color.....
paint time again!

Thank you all,
@Anton,
Our SotS will be different.
You'rs are more historical correct then mine ( i think)
But she was to beautiful😏
Thank Bob an Mark...
@Denis,
thank you and i have chosen blue because i saw a scratch build on the internet with blue instead of black.
I just like that and do the same thing..
And also thank you Hennie.

A little update.
I have make a few decorations and rudder and a lot of tiny stuff !
I need more time with the painting then other things.
So it goes really slowly !
DeAgostini has a lot of metal parts that should be painted.
Even the little figures but that's for later.
At this moment I am putting the wales on.
Not a easy task because I have to lie the ship on her side !
I know I have to look forwards but this is at book number 80 !
When you have a big drawing you can see it in advance.
But now ?
Sometimes I'm thinking.....go in the closet and stay there !
But nope, it has also a little charme.... ( don't know witch one but it looks so nice when i wrote it down )
Enough complaining and pictures !

Hi Donn,
Welcome again
To answer your question.
I think Caldecraft is a little bit better.
With DeAgostini ( parts work ) you've got bamboo as planking wood.
I change that right away with the planks from Caldecraft.
But the pictures with De Agostini are better then form Caldecraft and at the other hand.
The drawings ( 9 sheets with a drawing of everything ) is better from Caldecraft.
I think every manufacturer has his own good and not so good things in the kit.
I wish that there was a manufacturing that put all good things together.
My next build will maybe be something from OcCre.
I always love to have 2 builds at the same time.
You can change.
But with Occre there is a lof of metal parts like gun carriages and gun port lids.
When you don't like that you can change that for wooden things.
A great example of that is from Theo, he is building the Santissima Trinidad from OcCre.
Take a look at his build log ( you have to search for him ) and you will see what I mean.
Long story but I hope you understand what I mean.

paint job done....
I think building time 10000 hours and paint time 100000 hours
The false canons are in place so she got her teeth.
All the other canons still has to go on the decks.
Also paint and attach the decorations for the bow part.
