Spanish Galleon 1607 by kirill4 - FINISHED - Lee - 1:100 - PLASTIC

[kirill4]

some funny things from our seamen life... recently one of my colegue shared this video ... this guys , instead of gulls , they are brave ! They are traveling from ship to ship in big group and try to find where is food for free, ... they have funny faces :))) and even can bite if someone crossed private borders ! :))) .... the Chief Mate asks them to go away because they shitted all over deck of  his vessel and hide fish in wrong places... but they don't agree with his demands

Good times, being a fisherman. I sometimes go fishing with my dad in a small boat. We fish for trout. I remember my first time charter fishing, and it was incredible. 

And yes, gulls can get pretty brave. They wait in the morning just after you go out to sea, because they know when you will drop the fish guts in the water from last night.

Good day,

I never saw gulls directly interact with people like this birds do

What's life like in St. Petersberg?

I'm not at home till May. We are working between Cuba and New Orlean...

  Your galleon is a masterpiece in every respect !  It shows what can be achieved with patience, research and skill - regardless of the primary hull medium.  I tip my hat to you, sir.

[kirill4]

Good day,

Thank You very much for your attention and kind comments!:)

I m glad You like my little galleon experiment . 

[Ferrus Manus]

@kirill4 On a fishing trip? that must be exciting! I am just glad you're too old to be drafted. You're OUR Kirill, not the Kremlin's. Eventually you'll get back home to a (hopefully) warmer city, back to your family, your house, and your wonderful Galleon. 

 

Making a model is one thing, teaching someone else to build the same model is something different.

Kirill4 your Spanish Galleon is so frequently mentioned in comments throughout MSW I had to search for your build and read through it. What a fantastic job you did with this model. Your painting skills are second to nobody. You should be very proud, and I have no doubt you are. I will definitely refer to this build for inspiration during my current and future builds, regardless of the ship being built!

[Ferrus Manus]

There's a good reason people like me flock to this build like moths to a light and study it like an archaeological find. His rigging skills are stunning, and he builds not as if he is making a model, but an exact scale representation of a ship itself.

Dear friends, colleagues in hobby,( all said bellow - google translated -have fan ! :)))

I hasten to share joyful news! )) For me, at least for sure! The other day I painted the stands for this Galleon model,

the idea that I had a couple of years in my head, probably, finally got its practical embodiment so to speak ... I ordered the elements of the decor of the stand on the "shop of the masters"( there is site in Russia where we could get some artistic hand made things of all kind  , if we could say that),

I cut the excess a little, so that it would more or less fit into the concept "stand holders " for the Galleon model ... .. about the photo shoot - I shot Samsung on the phone, and the quality of the photos ... in my opinion, as if very not very much , if not worse, but my just "normal "camera "Nikon" is bent unfortunately - I can’t insert the batteries into it - it gets out that the wrong battery system !!! :, and there is no other alternative yet ... In addition to quality, also the background, is not homogeneity as it should be for good model representation? but for the moment this is all I have ...

Wish you all the best of the best!!!   

Kirill

Kirill, this piece of work is exactly why I personally admire and look up to you. You have been a personal inspiration for me to do more research and attempt to build more accurate replicas. You, sir, are a legend among men.
