zappto Posted January 18, 2018 Author #95 Posted January 18, 2018 (edited) Thank you David, added few parts on the second deck, it is so small parts, very hard to handle. All metal parts needs a lot of trim, sanding and painting, i guess it is because of very old kit. Few photos.

drobinson02199 Posted January 21, 2018 #98 Posted January 21, 2018 Zappto: Really, really beautiful -- the model, but also the workmanship. You mentioned that this is an old kit. I think it's now discontinued (Mamoli is out of business -- right?). Where did you get it? Regards, David Old Collingwood 1 Quote David Robinson Boston, MA area Completed: Constructo J.S.

zappto Posted January 26, 2018 Author #100 Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) Thank you David, Scot, appreciate that. My work skills not so good, but i try to solve the problems. This is the kit not for beginner, a lot of tricky places, really hard to handle ! I am glad i have build one ship already. Got this kit on ebay, I liked it because it is old time galleon, that era of time was gold age for Dutch. So today working on stern, all gold pieces need sanding, repaint, a lot of detailed work.

zappto Posted February 9, 2018 Author #115 Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) Hi all, many thanks David, Jim, Ferit, OC, Mike for nice comments, it is nice to hear you like it. I was working on my long boat this week. All i got with the kit was nice wood hull, no ruder and rows. I still think how should look second rowboat holder, which should be on first boat, not sure what style to creat. Few photos of this week work. Pre made parts. Creating rudder. Wrapping rudder. Painted boats.

zappto Posted February 10, 2018 Author #120 Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) Thank you for kind words. OC, they should place more attention on the long boats indeed! Work going on the lanterns for the ship, i will scratch build them and will place Pico led inside. I got Pico led warm white, but it looks like it is very cold, lucky they do not heat and is possible to paint them, i will use yellow or orange color to get warm light. Work on the lanterns are so small, it takes a lot of time. Few photos full size ship.
