sotter Posted August 4, 2020 Share #1 Posted August 4, 2020 I started my adventure with wooden modeling from the Spanish galley "La Real". I have some experience only in modeling plastic ships. I decided to try it on a scale of 1: 150. Model built according to Dusek's plans. Making details in a scale of 1: 150 is not easy, especially without experience. With the help of experienced colleagues from the Polish forum "Koga", the work is still progressing. The hull is made of balsa wood. Planking and deck made of pear strips 0,5 mm.

sotter Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share #2 Posted August 7, 2020 The next step was to finish the planking and painting. The hull was painted with acrylic paint from Talens spray series. The photos of the replica from the Maritime Museum of Barcelona are reference material. My lack of experience and skills was the cause of many problems when making several dozen elements. When I build a model on this scale for the first time, the effect is acceptable to me. Baker, Rudolf, mtaylor and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sotter Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share #6 Posted August 24, 2020 Rows of benches and bow battle platform added. I designed some photo-etched elements, based on photos a Spanish replica from Barcelona. I cover the photo-etched parts with gold.

sotter Posted February 22, 2021 Author Share #7 Posted February 22, 2021 Some progress has been made, but I am currently engaged on a different project. La Real is the first model which I build from wood and I can see how many mistakes I have made so far. Before I start rigging and making oars, I'm going to take a break. dvm27, Tony Hunt, GrandpaPhil and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
