Martin_est Posted September 17, 2020 Share #1 Posted September 17, 2020 Hello everybody. I am kinda new here. I mean i have kept an eye on basically every ship build here. And now i thought its time for me to post my build! This isn´t my first build (first was La Couronne - because of the price tag :D), but this one i want to make as original as possible (for the real thing). As I said my goal is to make this ship as it is right now..not what it was. But will see through the process. Maybe some colors here and there- will see! And little bit of the backstory as well. Like my name says i am from Estonia. I have liked those old ships from the very beginning. Saw the first one..an boom liked it and it stay´d this way. And i remember when i was young i always wondered how the hell people build these... because my ships what i build these days was basically just arrow shaped wood blanks with sails But now when we have internet and computers i have searched here and there..i found these kits and everything. and then i stumbled upon this forum. and only thought what i had in my mind was: Dear diary- JACKPOT! i have learned so much from you guys. And now i want to put all this knowledge to work! And bit what i have done so far (almost a year of building). I really don´t like these plastic figurines..so i made them all out of wood so they look authentic! And i painted the ship dark brown... well the color dark brown was on the canister lid but the ship came out pretty black but i don´t mind! and there are some pictures of the progress so far! And now when the winter is coming and the nasty Covid-19 raising his head it time to start building again! Martin.

Martin_est Posted December 22, 2020 Author Share #5 Posted December 22, 2020 Thank you for the feedback! I am sorry that I haven´t posted anything since last time . I just had a very busy times in my santas workshop to paint few paintings... and now i had little bit time to work on my model again. I will upload some pics from process later this evening. And about the paintjob... at first I was thinking to left the ship "colorless" but I was able to get my hands on the book "The Royal Warship VASA" by Björn Landström..and I just fell in love in this ship paint job (blue and gold! ) and I decided to go with this in my model. And I am more than satisfied with the result! for pictures stay tuned! And for now Happy Holidays everybody!! Doug Buchanan Jr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
