Robin Lous Posted November 2, 2017 #601 Posted November 2, 2017 Don, I really...really...very much...like this build. It's not a ship of the line...a more humble vessel...and so it's perhaps sailing under the radar (that makes sense?), but, boy oh boy...it's a beauty! May I ask? what type of varnish did you use? semi-gloss? It looks wonderful.

donrobinson Posted November 2, 2017 Author #602 Posted November 2, 2017 Thanks Robin, the finish I use is satin wipe on poly.

donrobinson Posted November 10, 2017 Author #612 Posted November 10, 2017 The day has finally arrived, my Trabakul is complete!! Thanks to all for following along, for all the likes and the great comments it was all very much appreciated. I would also like to thank Zoran at MarisStella for all his support and help and of course for producing this fantastic kit. Although, not an easy build, I would recommend this kit not only for the challenges you will face but also for the high quality of material and contents. So anyway here she is: That's it and I really hope everyone enjoyed and I hope to see you over at my Stefano build Have A Good Weekend and do think of those we have lost at war as tomorrow is "Remembrance Day" in Canada GuntherMT, DocBlake, puckotred and 37 others 40 Quote Completed: MS-AVS, Amati Trabaccolo, Dusek ship's boat, AL-Mayflower, Batelina - MarisStella, MarisStella-Trabakul Liburnian Novilara - MarisStella, 17th Century Battle Station, Ragusian Galley-MarisStella Current: Barque Stefano - MarisStella, On Hold: Amati Pegasus
