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


Recommended Posts

Having two days free, i finally (after many years) made my power source for the hobby (from an pc power supply). It was not hard, but had no time (every time when i wanted to build - make the conections and the plugs and connectors, and the arrangment - it was something more important)

This is how it looks (and how everyone can do)

All the best for the end of the year

Hi Cristi

 

I am impressed - I sure have an old PC - but absolutely NO idea how that thing "electricity" works. All that I know is: Get the plug in and turn the power on :D :D

 

But you show a very good way to recycle electronic devices and make something very reasonable out of computer scrap.

 

Happy new year 2016 to you and your familiy - and many good ideas

Hi Garym, i watch your progress to SoS and it looks better than mine. I have problems with the scale of the bras parts, that seems to be a little biger. Do you have the same problems?

Thank you Garym for the answer.

I try all the time to adjust, but i expected the kit is better in this area, according

with the price of the kit, and the name of the producer.

It is i think the only disappointment from this kit

All the best Cristi ( i keep an eye on your log)

Thank you Garym for the "news". I thought that just me have problems with this kit.

Really i am disappointed about this kit, and the price they take.

This is how i tried to solve some brass (bronze) parts.

Hello. This kit has been in my wish list for so long time, but following your build and garym's comments make me wonder if it's really worth it.

 

@ cristikc and garym:  Generally speaking, if you were to buy a new kit, and you had the money and the knowledge you have now, would you buy this kit again???

 

Thank you.

Ulises, i like the kit, and this is why i bought. Even it has problems, maybe i will buy. Also i will try to find if the other great kits, have problems.

I mean Le Soleil Royal, Wassa, Prince Williams, Victory

But when i chose i was thinking of Sovereign or Le Soleil.

But i saw that you made Wassa and Soleil Royal

You have to decide.

Thank you Cristi. Actually in my wish list are the Sovereign AND the Soleil. I built Corel's Vasa, but never built Le Soleil, although I have in my stash Heller's (Plastic) Soleil Royale, but I don't feel like building plastic again.

Ditto Denis' comments re the brass work; great work.  Pity these kit makers don't update/improve their kits as technology improves.  they end up losing sales.
