costeo Posted December 21, 2015 Author #10 Posted December 21, 2015 Hello again, Let's start my story! From my childhood after I read "Captain Blood odyssey" I know that, sometime, I'll start to build my galleon. I bought this kit from Occre but after few days I decided to change everything. For the beginning my decision it was to place a new deck, the main deck, where, for about one year, I started my apprenticeship. Sure, from the kit I keep only the keel, the frames and first layers strips wood. After that I closed the box of the kit! After more than one year and half I was here: Jenserud, mtaylor, edmay and 5 others 8 Quote
