Nope. I'll buy the Le Soleil Roral at the local hobbyshop due to the increasing exchange rate.

Exchange rates, customs... they don't help, we know.

Thanks for your support!

Dear friends,

we have released a classic, closed hull version of our celebrated Anatomy of HMS Victory. Lower decks have been simplified but full cannons are still present. Any other details and finish are a mirror of Anatomy version. Take a look!

Some unboxing of this new version of the model:

Hi friends!

 

Did you know non-sailing things can also be really cool?

You can see a small trailer now if you go to the youtube page of the video! Will you join us tomorrow? :-)

I think I will wait until Chris s comes out

So this looks like the film's ex-HMS Rose/Surprise ...?

 

Edit: I should add that this model looks really cool. Wow, what a scale! This gives a modeler the opportunity to put in a lot of extra details, should they choose. So, kudos to AL on this one. Personally, I'm more of an Admiralty draught purist, but that's my problem ...

Not a bad idea, we're sure it will be a great model.

 

On the other hand… We’re not looking to start or fuel any controversy, but we also think it wouldn’t be fair to stay silent after reading some of the recent comments on the forum—some of them (now deleted) even bordering on disrespect, coming from people we honestly thought were gentlemen.

 

Perhaps we’d deserve criticism if we had simply brought back the same model we created 20 years ago, just to make use of the ‘HMS Surprise’ name. But that’s clearly not the case. We believe most of you already understand the time and effort required to create a brand-new model—this project didn’t start two months ago, or even a year ago.

 

And about the string duo figures… we’ve been designing figures for our kits for years—ever since we created those for the three caravels about seven years ago. As for the idea of including one of the film’s most iconic scenes on this ship… well, no one would’ve come up with that idea — it must’ve been some impressive espionage work.

 

We truly appreciate the passion and dedication of this community. Constructive feedback and open dialogue are always welcome—they help us improve and, above all, keep alive the shared enthusiasm that makes model shipbuilding such a remarkable hobby.
