md1400cs Posted February 14, 2018 Share #157 Posted February 14, 2018 Hennie, Been away from all of my favorite shipyards (as well as mine) for the last couple of weeks. Just catching up on yours. Super nice work. Your gilded "gold' metal bits, are those directly from the kit, or did you do some extra detail work with each piece. In amy case they look really excellent. Also they look perfectly placed as well. Super nice contrast with the black.

Hennie Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share #158 Posted February 18, 2018 Hi all! @Popeye and Piet: thx! @Michael: thx, and yes, all the brass parts are directly from the kit. But almost none of these brass parts does fit. They are all too big, so I had to make them smaller. But as you can read in the blogs of other builders of the Sots (Cristikc and others), we have all the same problem. Disappointing for such an expensive model.... And a small update: I finished the gunports of the stern and the decorations on the left side of the bow. I had to redo the decorations on the bow twice, and just now I am satisfied how it looks. robdurant, Old Collingwood, Piet and 12 others 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piet Posted February 19, 2018 Share #160 Posted February 19, 2018 Impressive Hennie. Sorry to hear about all the brass parts being too big.

Hennie Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share #161 Posted February 19, 2018 @OC: thx. @Piet: thx. About redusing the brass parts: I just take a good look at the details of each part: is there a figure/animal/human figure, to be recognized, than I just removed the serounding decorations.

Hennie Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share #167 Posted March 5, 2018 @Zappto, OC, Piet and Popeye: thx And a small update: I finished the guns on the lower decks. I also discovered that the wooden pieces needed to fix the guns, were not always in the right spot. So I had to glue an extra peace of wood there and the only way to do that was through the openings of the gunports as you can see on the picture. Same problem with the 4 canons on the frontside. In the manual they forgot to tell you that its necessary to glue a peace of wood behind the ports to fix the canons. So I use special tape to make those guns a bit thicker so they would stuck in the ports and...... it worked !

md1400cs Posted October 16, 2019 Share #180 Posted October 16, 2019 Hennie, By the way -- Yes to your decision NOT to use the kit provided pre-fabricated upper deck planking sheets. Makes for indeed a big improvement. If I ever get to this kit I will also build the upper deck plank-by-plank. Looking at your's make this one very tempting for me - popeye the sailor 1 Quote Michael Current build : Sovereign of the Seas 1/78 Sergal Under the table: Golden Hind - C Mamoli Oseberg - Billings 720 - Drakkar - Amati Completed: Santa Maria-Mantua -- Vasa-Corel - Santisima Trinidad cross section OcCre 1/90th Gallery : Santa Maria - Vasa - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
