Floyd-Rw Posted April 23, 2022 Share #1 Posted April 23, 2022 Hello everyone from France, I discovered this forum while looking at the LIBERTO ST model. I am new to model making, my first boat was the Cutty Sark from Artesania Latina at 1/84. I start the Santisima Trinidad Occre at 1/90. Not easy this one. I hope to find on this forum ideas and advice. Thanks in advance. Forgive my not very good English😊 mtaylor, GrandpaPhil, Peanut6 and 6 others 8 1 Quote The best work is done from noon to midnight.

Floyd-Rw Posted April 23, 2022 Author Share #3 Posted April 23, 2022 Hi Bruce, Thank you for your compliment. What boat are you talking about for the build log?

bruce d Posted April 23, 2022 Share #4 Posted April 23, 2022 I was thinking of the Santisima Trinidad, a very impressive subject. Of course it is up to you but this is a subject that is not often covered on MSW. With 130 guns and a veteran of Trafalgar, sounds good to me. May I suggest you post a message in New Member Introductions?

Peanut6 Posted April 23, 2022 Share #9 Posted April 23, 2022 Welcome aboard. You've found a very supportive community of modelers who enjoy sharing their work and helping others to learn the art of wooden model ship building. From the look of your work, I believe you'll be the one giving advice. Look forward to seeing a build log of the ship in progress. bruce d, Edwardkenway, mtaylor and 1 other 4 Quote Take care and be safe. kev Current Build: HMS Bounty's Jolly Boat - Artesania Latina On the shelf: Oseberg #518 - Billing Boats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd-Rw Posted April 23, 2022 Author Share #10 Posted April 23, 2022 Thanks Peanut for that kind word. You shouldn't look too closely at the Cutty Sark, the hull planking is poorly made and I didn't put all the rigging on. I'm learning to be patient. I went too fast on the CS. I didn't know all the techniques. Maid thanks to the forums, it's getting better. The Frenchie is not yet run in😄 Best regard. mtaylor, bruce d, Keith Black and 1 other 4 Quote The best work is done from noon to midnight.

davos522 Posted April 24, 2022 Share #17 Posted April 24, 2022 Bienvenu! Beautiful work… and your English is far better than my French 😄 By coincidence I was at the Museo Naval in Madrid earlier today, and took about 20 reference photos of the beautiful large-scale model of Santissima Trinidad built by Felíx Moreno Sorli between 1990-2000. If it would be helpful to you, please send me a message and I will email them. And if anyone else is interested I can also post them here on the forum. Dave V.
