When I managed to break my wife's sewing machine trying to do my sails , I had to found a dress maker, the lady charged me 15 pounds for the job but they are not ready for this weekend. So , I am waiting and I am looking at my unfit ships.........[ATTACH]124271.IPB[/ATTACH]

[Guest]

Loverly model, looks fantastic

[Guest]

Analyzing some pictures I realized that some of this ships had gunports. And this ship really need those gunports to be shut off when is sailing under strong wind . So I create the gunports:

[Guest]

The gunports look great Catalin, I really do like those sails too did you do the anchor chain in a metallic gold? It looks like it's reflecting light which is a nice touch

[Guest]

Thank you for appreciating my work, but I know I am still far away of being a good ship modeller.


Yes! The chain is metallic gold and I like how is looking like.

[Guest]

What else is there to do on this build? It doesn't look far from finishing

[Guest]

SUPERB! I often wonder at how tall the mast were in sailing ship, and why they didn't capsize with all that sideways pull (when sailing against the wind).

Absolutely fantastic job dont sell yourself short the other 2 ships if im not mistaken one was the Heller 1/100 HMS Victory the other looked like The USS Constitution or Old Ironsides from Revell if I'm not mistaken which I built for a Canadian couple about 35 years ago as a thank you once again superb models all three
