modeller_masa Posted October 19, 2023 Share #1 Posted October 19, 2023 Because I failed to build the Papegozan (Shipyard, ZL-005), I made the Hanse Kogge (Shipyard, ZL-048) in a week without painting. I found what was wrong and what I had missed before. - The Hanse Kogge (ZL-048) is a much more advanced kit than the old Papegozan (ZL-005). HK has two manual books, and the instructions are much clear and helpful. - The HK instructions has a very simple and fast painting method. I don't worry about painting anymore. - The method of assembly is much improved. The HK kit isn't a high-priced laser cut paper model. It is something in the middle of paper model kits and plastic model kits. If I had built the HK kit first, I wouldn't have failed the Papegozan kit. I recommend this kit as the best introductory kit for early Shipyard kits. Richard44, SighingDutchman, Knocklouder and 6 others 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco_van_H Posted October 27, 2023 Share #2 Posted October 27, 2023 Very nice build, gives a good insight how this model was designed. I enjoyed building this one too, I finished it in a light wood paint as to keep the details visible. modeller_masa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
