Johngr Posted October 5, 2023 #1 Posted October 5, 2023 After the completion of Celtic Voyager and in the middle of other projects, I decided to take off the shelf a kit for the SOYA ship that I wanted to build for a long time. In general, the kit, despite its small scale, is very well made and with enough details, especially if someone decides to use the dedicated HASEGAWA photoetch set. For this time I will not go into details regarding the construction process, I will simply list the photos in chronological order. The model is almost done, all that remains is to put some weathering and the rigging. After that i will post and the photos of complete model. After that I think I will probably start the same ship this time from the Pontos models. I've had it on the shelf and admired it for a while . Yes I know wishful thinking but that's the cool thing about this hobby. I hope you find this interesting as a topic. kgstakes, ccoyle, mcb and 6 others 8 1 Current Build : https://modelshipworld.com/topic/36346-hms-hood-1941-by-johngr-flyhawk-1700-plastic/ Current Build : https://modelshipworld.com/topic/37570-hms-victory-cross-section-by-johngr-artesania-latina-172 Current Build (on hold): Amati Endeavor 1:80 Current Build (on hold): VEE HOBBY USS SOUTH DAKOTA 1:700 Current ReBuild (on hold): Le Superbe - 1784 1:60 Finished: https://modelshipworld.com/topic/37424-22-ft-yawl-ship-boat-by-johngr-finished-vanguard-models-164/ Finished: https://modelshipworld.com/topic/35369-hms-agassiz-1941-by-johngr-finished-hmv-1250-card/ Finished: https://modelshipworld.com/topic/35301-soya-by-johngr-hasegawa-1350/ Finished: https://modelshipworld.com/topic/35037-celtic-voyager-by-johngr-paper-shipwright-1250-card/
Johngr Posted October 10, 2023 Author #2 Posted October 10, 2023 Today I finished the model, adding some extra details, some weathering and the rigging. I have to admit that the most challenging and rewarding part of the project was the rigging. Fortunately what helped a lot is the excellent rigigng material from Infini model (Fine lycra Rigging 70 denier - 0.091mm). Later I will also upload a short video once I have it ready.

RGL Posted October 23, 2023 #9 Posted October 23, 2023 Nice build. The rigging is great. I have soya in my stash along with the Hasewaga PE. Pontos do the 1/250 I think unless I’ve missed something Jack12477 and Canute 2 Greg
