westwood Posted January 6, 2022 Share #1 Posted January 6, 2022 Hi guys, I am a forum member for many years, but only now I decided to show what I'm working on. For my return to modelling after 20 years I chose the Revenge 1:64 by Amati/Victory. So far I plan to build only the hull without rigging. I've liked galleons since childhood and anyway, I've been following Chris Watton's prototype build since the beginning and I couldn't resist. But inspired by the awesome models here, I would like to improve the model a bit to get skills for other models. So keep your fingers crossed please. I'll add photos gradually, because I started in January 2020 Dusan ready for play FrankWouts, tarbrush, Baker and 3 others 6 Quote Dusan Currently building: HMS Winchelsea 1764 by westwood - 1:48 Revenge 1577 - by westwood - 1:64 In preparation: Fourth-rate ship 1681 - 1:48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westwood Posted January 7, 2022 Author Share #5 Posted January 7, 2022 Thanks guys. Galeona has many decks, so plenty area to practice 🙂 On the gun deck I tried a different technique for treenails. On the decks I am happy with it. I used brown PVA glue... The finish is wax...

allanyed Posted January 13, 2022 Share #11 Posted January 13, 2022 Dusan, Lovely build overall, and I admire you bashing to get things even better than what the kit provides! The upper decks' gratings are extremely well done, with the battens running fore and aft rather than athwartships.

westwood Posted January 16, 2022 Author Share #12 Posted January 16, 2022 Thank you Allan and also for the likes guys, I appreciate it. Originally I didn't even think I was going to modify so many pieces... Now there will be a break from the decks for a while. Next is the hull stiffening and installation of the side patterns.

westwood Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share #15 Posted January 17, 2022 Thank you Patrick, your Pelican is an inspiration for me. Next, I decided to make new gun ports.

allanyed Posted February 1, 2022 Share #24 Posted February 1, 2022 COMPLIMENTS on your planking and your gratings. It has been a while since I have seen a kit build log with such well done and properly laid planking and yours is exceptional. Am I correct that you made your own gratings or are they from the kit? Amati gratings have never looked remotely close to what a grating should be, so I was hoping they changed and got it right. Beautiful work Dusan!!!
