Well, I cleared an area of my bench to start a new build log. This kit was won in a raffle, from the generosity of Olha Batchvarov’s you tube channel.
Since I was so close to her home, I decided to pick it up in person. To see her work in person was awesome. When you watch it on her YouTube channel, it doesn’t do it justice. The neatness, finesse, and her building style is unbelievable. With her home made ropes her rigging is flawless.
I will be building this model in tandem with two other builds…..the San Bartolome and the HMS Victory cross-section.
My first post is not much, but I wanted to get the build log started.
The kit itself is beautiful, the wood is top-notch. I also got the upgraded version with Pear wood blocks and upgraded cannons. I of course started with the keel. And I could not believe it before I started to glue anything my dog decided to check out what was going on as soon as I turned my back, I guess I can no longer leave the chair that close to the workbench.
Hope everyone is having a good evening!
Happy Saint Patrick’s
