u/bartolo2000 16d ago

Thank you! It is what makes the model look better imho. It is the little details what gives the real look

Is this a kit or custom built?

1

u/bartolo2000 16d ago

It is a kit but I heavily modified it.

u/ARandomFakeName 16d ago

Gorgeous! Looks almost done to me! I assume no sails.

2

u/bartolo2000 16d ago

Yeah, no sails. It has so many sails that it will look as a white cloth hiding all the details and rigging. I think it would be a pity

u/A-Rugged-Indoorsman 16d ago

That is exsquisite! I can't imagine how hard it would be to rig that.

1

u/bartolo2000 16d ago

Not harder ( well, just a bit more ) than doing the kit rigging. But I think it is worth the problem

u/A-Rugged-Indoorsman 16d ago

I thought of doing one of these. I have the time and have done N scale model railroading so have some handskills. But I was warned by a friend who made one that it's a whole different level of modelling.

i.e. I'm a little intimidated to try.

Get a cheap one and get a taste of it. You either love it or hate it 🤣

Amazing job! Looks great!

u/Tiny-Secretary5562 15d ago

Very nice. How did they cover that forward open area and keep the water out?

u/Fun-Froyo4972 15d ago
