Algirdas Posted February 12, 2020 Share #1 Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) My name is Algirdas. I'm 32 years old. I recently started making ship models. I have been developing ship models for only 2 years. My first ship model was the COREL VASA. Now I make COREL WAPPEN WON HAMBURG. There are no more people in Lithuania who make ship models from wood.

Algirdas Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share #9 Posted February 14, 2020 Thanks for the friendly consent. In Lithuania, I tried to write a letter to a forum for ship modelers, but no one wrote about the production of wooden models. Just few peoples makes models from plastic, few peoples makes from paper. Yes, this is my first ship model. Only wooden ship kits from COREL are available in my country. It is a small country and there is very little demand for such goods. I bought a sophisticated ship kit from VASA to have a strong desire to finish it and learn a lot. I made the model in my spare time, so it took 18 months. I'll create a VASA model photo section on this page so you can see what the COREL VASA model looks like. Of course, this is not an exact replica of the actual ship, but I liked the combination of blue and gold on the ship paint. Now I make COREL's most sophisticated ship model, WAPPEN VON HAMBURG I. I like ship models that are complex and require a lot of care. ccoyle, BobG, EricWilliamMarshall and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
