Brazzera by Seventynet - FINISHED - MarisStella - scale 1:32


Recommended Posts

Good Day,

 

This post marks the completion of this build. Although the photos have shown me there are a few things to alter, including the oars and oar locks and those unique eyes on the bow, I won't get at that for at least a couple of months so I am calling it now.

 

I thank Don Robinson and Zoran for their help with my rather dumb questions. Other than the things I mentioned above, I am aware of the things that I have not included. If there is anything that I have done that insults this ship's tradition or you cannot live with Zoran, please let me know and I'll address it if I can. While this ship has been quite a challenge it has turned out to be my favorite build to date. I'd definitely build another MarisStella product.

 

Cheers, Ian

Congratulations Ian she is a real beauty, excellent craftsmanship. Your daughter will be proud to display this little lady.

 What's with this couple of months off?? I never got that memo!!:D

Thanks Don,

 

She is thrilled indeed but I've made her agree to me helping her locate and mount it in her house away from her crazy snapping dog and whatever else might threaten it. Yeah and sorry about not including you on the memo ;). We will be in Europe for a real long one. The admiral will be checking out relatives, both alive and not and a large portion of the trip will be devoted to sites of military interest in France.

Thank you so much for looking in and the compliments Hal, Simar, John and Nils. Much appreciated. It feels good to be finally done with this guy although I will say I enjoyed almost all of it. Now it's my turn to watch your build logs and continue to learn about this incredible hobby.

Thank you, Bob! Every time I visit my daughter’s place and see the model displayed I think it has to be one of my favourite builds.
