New sailor from Seville (Spain)

[Jesús Reina]

Hello everyone. My name is Jesus, I am from Seville (Spain) and I am passionate about modeling. So far I have assembled several commercial kits, but I have always wanted to build "from scratch". A year ago I embarked on the construction of HMS Victory from some old plans that I found. I hope to learn a lot from all the teachers here. I also apologize since my English is very basic and I have to use the translator. Greetings

Welcome aboard! That is some fine workmanship on display.

 

Cheers!

Welcome to MSW, Jesus.   Beautiful work you are doing.   No need to apologize for the use of a translator.

Welcome aboard brother, that is an awsome start on a scratch build. Beautiful work.

Hello Jesus, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'.

If you think you English is basic, you should hear my Spanish!!

Welcome Jesús, I am also from Spain, very close to you (Granada). You Victory looks amazing, and good choice on going scratch building. What kind of wood do you use for building?

Bienvenido Jesús, yo también soy de España, muy cerca de ti (Granada). You Victory se ve increíble y es una buena opción para construir desde cero. ¿Qué tipo de madera utiliza para la construcción? 

Hello KLarsen
Well yes, we are very close to each other. Good to tell you that with the plans I had and with documentation of the work of other colleagues I have been able to carry out this project. The woods that I am using are of all kinds but more or less the ones that you can find in any kit. In my case I managed to find a lot of wood for modeling for a good price, and they range from pine, manzonia, sapelly, walnut, etc. Any questions I will be happy to clarify. As soon as I can I will open a thread about the construction of the Victory. greetings sailors

Welcome aboard, Jesús! Your Victory model is impressive!

 

My wife and I spent 10 weeks traveling in Spain a few years ago and we loved Sevilla. All of southern Spain and the pueblos blancos are so beautiful. We can't wait to go again.
