What's up after this one? Amati Victory? Hello Jim, Thanks for the kind words. I am not sure what to do next, there is still the Batavia scratch build that is unfinished... I see you are doing the Amati Victory. I did not even know that there is a Victory from Amati. Hope your project is going well, I will have a look soon! Greetings Martin P.S.: I just had a search for the Amati Victory: It is a 1 :64 monster, even bigger than the Caldercraft version, but it is not (yet?) released. Well it is tempting for me to be honest: Chris Watton has a very good reputation! Edited February 8, 2020 by Karinmutter new information Quote

I liked your San Felipe , too ! Right now I am contemplating what to do next. Should I continue with the Batavia scratch build project, or will this be too complicated ? The Wasa is also a ship that appeals to me. Or should I do something completely new, like a radio controlled, swimming tug boat for example? I still have a few months for a decision, I guess 😉 Quote

Karinmutter Posted April 7, 2020 Author #100 Posted April 7, 2020 Hello Agamemnon-fans, I have just finished some more steps towards the end. Now there are only a few things to do: Instal the rest of the yard braces, attach the small boats and make a stand. I also have not yet found an appropriate display case , not so easy for a model of that size... WalrusGuy, mort stoll, BenD and 9 others 12 Quote

Karinmutter Posted April 12, 2020 Author #105 Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) Hello again, Now I am almost finished. Only two things I have to do: Build a stand (I will make a similar stand to the one used during building, only with new timber. The other remaining task is to organize (buy?) a display case. I tried to order one from a British company that is selling acrylic cases custom- made. Unfortunately they do not provide cases of the size of the Agamemnon😩 If one of you has a suggestion for me, you are welcome!!

Beckmann Posted April 12, 2020 #106 Posted April 12, 2020 Hi Martin. A phantastic model. What a highlight for each livingroom. I made a display case out of special wood strips you can buy for cases. They fit for 4 mm glass. I painted them black. But you can also give them some varnish. Then just buy the 5 peaces of glass and stick it together with some transparent silicone. Leave the top and maybe the front glass without silicone, so you can open it, if necessary. It worked well. Here is a photo of the display case. Matthias GrandpaPhil and BenD 2 Quote

I hope this is not causing any problems... Martin Quote
Henke Posted April 13, 2020 #108 Posted April 13, 2020 I am really impressed Karinmutter. Well done! What's up next? Regards Henrik Quote "The secret of getting ahead is getting started" - Mark Twain
Karinmutter Posted April 13, 2020 Author #109 Posted April 13, 2020 Hello Henrik, Thank you for the nice words. I am still not sure what to do next. This is my fifth historic ship model . Perhaps I will try something completely different, for example a radio controlled boat, a tug-boat perhaps like the Imara. The Amati Victory would be interesting, too, but they have not yet made it available - unfortunately. By the way, I have just watched a Swedish movie (Let the right one in). This movie really impressed me, reminded me of my youth/childhood... Happy modelling Henrik. Greetings from Germany, Martin Quote
Karinmutter Posted August 14, 2020 Author #110 Posted August 14, 2020 Hello, Some time has passed. It took me a long time to find someone, who send me the parts to build the display case. I stained the oak parts in mahagony and put varnish over it. Then I glued the parts together. Finally I measured the slots for the glass panes and ordered them online. There are only two panes missing, then I will be totally finished. James H, GrandpaPhil and Beckmann 3 Quote

Karinmutter Posted August 18, 2020 Author #118 Posted August 18, 2020 Now it is finally finished. It took a bit longer at the end, because one of the glass panes crashed when I was trying to fit it in , so I had to order another one 😞 but now it is done after all!
