Thanks Mike for the great build, I just won the kit on ebay at a real good price I just hope mine comes out half as good as yours

they are both really nice, mine is nice but cannot compare to those two

where can I find the correct colors for the mayflower, every picture I see are all different!

dose anyone know of a substitute for ca kicker ?

Looks nice do you have more pictures

I got the GIUNCA CINESE PIRATA SCALE 1:100 BY AMATI a nice kit but the instructions are not very good. It's a little smaller than I would like but maybe I can scale them up later on.

GIUNCA CINESE PIRATA SCALE 1:100 BY AMATI. Just starting this kit has anyone built it. The instructions are not too good but the parts are nice, the kit is a little small for me but I like the boat.

looking to build a chinese junk or something close anyone know of a kit or plans for one at least 24" long?

Working my way up

Lower deck is in place with beams for the next deck

Instead of laying the decking down on at a time I lined them up and taped together then spread gorilla glue on the back and lain it on the sub deck when dry I cut the notches for the frames.

Today I received the san Francisco hull section kit the instructions look very nice as do the parts. The only thing so Farsi the planking, it is very thin so I may replace it. When I figure out how to add pictures I will.

Even below the water line natural wood?

Did the San Francisco have any paint on the hull or was it just natural wood, I see a lot of galleons were colorful but can't find any of the San Francisco

Thanks for all the replies, I think I will try the boiling water trick for now

I am building the revel 1\96 Spanish galleon, wondering what is the best way to fix the spars, they are warped. I guess I could heat them but wondering if there is a better way, any ideas?

1/96revell Spanish galleon I think is one of the best revell ship kits, I started this build a little ways into the build because I was enjoying this so much I forgot to take pictures. I can say that so far up to this point everything went along with no major problems. The parts fit was very good, some of the masts and spars are a little warped yet to be fixed when I figure out the best way to do it. Since thus is not a scale of any real ship I chose to do my own colors simplified . The kit is missing two canon halves so I will need to try to make them. The pictures are so far into the build.

Has anyone had any exp. with this kit, I have built the victory hull section and it was so so just wondering how the San Francisco hull section kit is.
