puckotred got a reaction from Nirvana in Vasa by puckotred - DeAgostini - Scale 1:65
I would really like to do Ostindiefararen. I had a job on her for about a year. Great ship. have been looking for a kit of her for a long time.
The closest you come now is Euromodels The Falmouth, a Brittish East Indiaman that one could modify...

puckotred got a reaction from Nikiforos in Xebec by puckotred - Amati - Scale 1:60
Thanks for dropping by Don Jane, Ron and Jan
I was getting tired of ratlines actually...
This is how far I got yesterday:
The poop deck was a really bad fit, but I guess that the update is to blame. No biggie, just had to sand a little. And all misalignements will be covered by deck planks.
And now the facepalm; I was going to plank the deck this way:
But I forgot that and glued the deck in place.
To get the pattern above one really has to split the deck in two and plank each half seperately. Now, when the deck is there it's too much trouble to plank this way. Oh well, next time...
The Xebec will have a regular deck planking now...

A new build so I have something to do while waiting for Vasa parts.
I ordered this from Maristella and apart from the excellent service Mr. Pavlovich offers I believe that they offer the best prices in Europe.
My only regret is that I did not order one of Marisstellas own kits instead. But then again I have a reason saving up money for that in the future.
The Xebec is the smallest shipmodel I have had so far. But the rigging is something that I for some reason wanted to try out. And it will be like a practice before I go on with my Pinco Genovese that is more like a semi scratch build from Euromodel Como.
Here's the pics:
Stuff:
They updated the older kit from 1027 to 1427.
There are 4 sheets of plans. 3 and 4 are of the updates.

puckotred got a reaction from Jörgen in Vasa by puckotred - DeAgostini - Scale 1:65
Hello Morgan thanks for dropping by.
I would not start building the hull until issue 24. That would be shipment number 7. Then the main hull would be complete. even better would be to wait until issue 40, shipment 11. Then you'll have the false deck as well. But I understand that's unrealistic.
Just try and wait as long as you can.
(you can always PM me if you want to use Swedish)

Ondras71: I hope I won't disappoint you
Antony: As far as I can see the quality is outstanding. I usually tend to get all the kits with lots of faults but this time I hit jackpot. Will post pics of material details later on.
Julie: You're welcome to follow along...

Never seen anything like that. Such an interesting sailing vessel. Should be fun to watch her come to life!

Hi Pucko.
Have seen this kit built before. Turns out to be a real eye catcher.
Following along with this one.
What's the wood quality like ?
Regards Antony.
