and some photos of the paint job, as you noticed i decided to add aftermarket cannoports cause i had a majot problem to build the frames perfectly square

and some photos of the copper plating, i used copper tape and a riveting tool to simulate the copper plates, this weekend i finished one side

 

[ioanniz]

well...today I finished copper plating the hull and the rudder, and I applied a first coat of blue patina, the result after one hour was this

Hi Ioannis.

 

i build the San Ildefonso myself but i have double planking and no copper on the hull.

is that youre own choice?

Ioanniz,  I have the San Ildfonso on my list for possible next build. It appears you are the only person with a build log for this fine ship.  Are  you still in the process of building her?

[Sjors]

Vmwilson1,

 

He is not the only one who build the San Ildefonso.

I’ve build her also and finish it.

You can go to the build log when you click on the link what you see in my signature.

Sjors,

 

I found your build log. The reason I did not locate it when I first looked at the MSW "Quick-Find Indexes to Build Logs" is because it is spelled incorrectly as AN Ildefonso. 

 

You did a great build.  After looking at your build log, I have decided to order the kit for my next build. I hope the kit offered by Age of Sail for the Occre kit OC15004 is the same kit you received from Spain. 

 

Thanks for the help.

Your welcome Vic.

 

And if you have questions.....just ask!

Let me know when you get started.

Sjors - 1. What color stain did you use for the decks or is it just plain shellac?
