San Felipe 1690 by dziadek4444 - Panart - 1:75

[dziadek4444]

The SAN FELIPE - Mantua set in 1:75 scale will be a huge challenge. Photo instructions and drawing plans are not compatible in many places. They often lack logical consistency in terms of the sequence of construction stages. The frame structure elements differ from the deck dimensions by as much as 5 mm (!). This cursory look at the kit gives a foretaste of the difficulties I will encounter while working on the model.

The two lower decks fit well to the model's frame. In principle, they can be mounted on frames without any problems. Deck joints only require light laser sanding of the coating.

A method for future mounting of gun barrels. I trust that the installation locations and heights of these strips are at the appropriate heights.

Nice work on the planking!

[Dziadeczek]

I hope this is only the first (of two) layer of planking. Hopefully the 2nd layer will cover the hefty mistakes you've made in spiling.

[dziadek4444]

First layer and not sanded yet.

The model is very difficult. Probably the most difficult one I have ever built. Additionally, very poor photo instructions that differ from the attached plans. The advantage is the good quality of the included materials and laser cutting.

Well, it may be a difficult kit but you are making a masterpiece of it! You are making excellent progress,!
