Sovereign of the Seas by cristikc - Mantua - 1:78 scale

[maggsl_01]

Hi Cristi

 

good progress on your SOS... but this ship looks so BIG...

 

When I have done the Endeavour in some months I will have to build some additional rooms to my house... hell - dont know what the Admiral will say to this Job :D

 

But with an model like the SOS it will be better just to build a new house

 

I wish you the very best and further on a lot of fun and Patience

 

Cheerio

Hi Max

It will be Very Big (as my wife say) but not so big, jut 1.2m long, 1.2m high

As you can see http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/gallery/album/1083-san-john-the-baptist/the display case for San jOHN,

I think this will be bigger.

For the moment i keep all in the room of my son (he is now at his house)

The new will be in my doughter room (she is also at her house) but is where my nice stay when she come to us.

For the future.. who knows.. maybe i will put the new ships in my doughter or my son house...

 

All the best Cristi

Hi Cristi

 

Denis is absolutely right: It is an amazing build that you show us. Very well done and a joy to follow.

 

Go on this way

Max

[cristikc]

Thank's for the kind words, Denis and Max.

But i am far from a good work, i still have to learn, and, as you can see, the are some

problems with the position of the "gold" parts, and this is because i use cyanocrilat, and i have to

move very quickly, and some times is very hard to see and move all the parts

All the best to you, Cristi

[cristikc]

after sanding

[edmay]

You are doing a work of art,fantastic progress,love the color blue,new type of clamp or did you raid your wife's hair styling bag?????,but a good idea,what ever works.well done my friend,wish you and family good health.Edwin

[cristikc]

Hi Edwin, it is just a normal work, i still have to learn a lot. Not having problems with my wife, doughter or daughter in law, i bougt a lot of types of clamps, but i found that some times, the only very very good, is your own hand

Thank you for the wishes, and wish to you and your family, Good health and all the best from me Cristi
