Hyposphagma Posted March 1, 2013 Share #1 Posted March 1, 2013 Dear Folks! I got this Revell Kit as a present from a friend long time ago and kept it aside for a couple of years. Some month ago I got it out to build something "in between" and mainly to give the model back as present to that friend. The "in between" lasts approx. 8 month now because of long building breaks due to work and other obligations. Since the build will come to its final steps soon i will at least post some photos of the building process. I won`t make many words in between because it is only a plastic Kit. It is no simple OOB build but it is not changed a lot either. And it is the Santa Maria which does not belong to the most impressive ships either IMHO. But maybe the dear visitor likes it to browse the photos and maybe this or that can be of any need. Enjoy! docidle, popeye the sailor, Knocklouder and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyposphagma Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share #8 Posted April 29, 2016 Thanks for your comment Popeye. Much appreciated. And thanks for all the likes! The sails are made of so called "Japan paper." It is very thin paper comparable with cigarette paper. It has been stiffened with a mixture of white glue/water, after drying spray painted with matt white paint and then weathered with diluted brown Revell paint. The stripes were done with normal pencil before painting. The sails stay very thin and a little "seethru" with this method, but stiff enough to shape them and rig them. While they are wet it is better not to touch them at all, though.... popeye the sailor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrus Manus Posted August 4, 2022 Share #9 Posted August 4, 2022 I don't think many people would have survived an amputation in 1492, especially at sea. Amputees would probably not sail aboard a ship, as they would have been considered unfit to sail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferrus Manus Posted August 12, 2022 Share #11 Posted August 12, 2022 That was well after the first voyage of Columbus, during the golden age of piracy. Knocklouder 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
