Nek0 Posted June 14 Author #61 Posted June 14 Hello dear friends, a friend of mine came home a few days ago and we took some nice shots of L'Ambitieux. It's not as advanced as I hoped to show you, but they are still nice photos so I share them with you. Not that bad for a kit made by Altaya ! The designers of the kit really made a good job. The goal is to finish the hull of this one before I go back to the Soleil Royal. Let's hope it will be soon...! 😅 Anyway thank you very wuch for the "likes" and the kind words, it means a lot to me.

Hubac's Historian Posted June 15 #63 Posted June 15 This all looks exquisite and super tidy, Marc. I don't think paint can be done better, and the light shading of the ornamental works really brings out their details. I know you have done quite a lot to upgrade the kit, but the lines and overall basis of the Altaya design are really very good. She would be the envy of anyone's home fleet! mtaylor, Nek0 and kirill4 3 Quote We are all works in progress, all of the time.
Nek0 Posted June 19 Author #64 Posted June 19 Thanks ! I would have loved to see another model by Victor !! Yes, I immediatly knew there was something to do with these great carvings when I saw the add at the time. The kit didn't disappoint, of course there was a big amount of work to assemble the pieces together correctly but it was worth it ! Hubac's Historian 1 Quote
Hubac's Historian Posted June 19 #65 Posted June 19 I know Victor has “retired” from model-making, but I’ve a funny feeling he’ll find inspiration somewhere. Quote We are all works in progress, all of the time.
igorcap Posted July 14 #66 Posted July 14 Beautiful, I like it. I have only one question - where did the quarter gallery go and where do the officers go to the toilet now? Quote Igor ------------
Hubac's Historian Posted July 15 #67 Posted July 15 I love the "Joy" wire sculpture, Vic. We've been talking, so you know how I feel about all of your sculpture work, but I haven't seen your wire work until now. That really made me feel as intended. Quote We are all works in progress, all of the time.
Ian_Grant Posted July 15 #68 Posted July 15 Vic, I knew you were a ship model artist, but these sculptures of yours are high art! Christie's is waiting! Cheers, Ian Quote
