Hello, it is my first intervention in this forum, greetings to all. I helped a friend to build a scracht model of the Spanish corvette "Discovered". It was made on top of a methacrylate sheet, which was held in front of a burning fireplace for almost three-quarters of an hour and then molded on top of plaster with sand cushions on top. The sails were molded from inflated balloons and stiffened with starch. Under the rescue boat, the cage for the chickens He was exhausted and the rig left him "hinted" I don't think I'll ever finish it It was exhibited in Rochefort. Here it is....
Beautiful modelsHello again This is the hardest boat I have ever done. It is based on the blueprints in the Billing Boats kit, but most of the parts were made by me. It is the Canadian ship Saint Roch, which at the hand of Commander Larssen, made the Northwest passage in both directions The main difficulty was getting information about the actual ship on display at the Vancouver museum.

Uwe, do you know what happened to the replica?The "Biggest" sailship model I know is the 1:1 static model of the Admiral Tegethoff, a friend of mine Willi Meischl (also a member here in SOS @schifferlbauer ) build and rigged for a TV-production in the Arctic

The model was build in Austria, dismantled and transported to Arctic and assembled once more at Franz Josef Land to produce the film
It was not really a replica, due to the fact, that it was a pure static model without a complete hull.Uwe, do you know what happened to the replica?
I think I once read something about a planned permanent exhibition in Klagenfurt, but never heard anything about it again.

OMG that is so cool! how long did it take you to make it? another great thing about this hobby, is that I'm learning about historic ships like this one! thanks!Hello again This is the hardest boat I have ever done.

The most difficult model doesn't necessarily have to be the biggest. The big in the scale or size? Honestly, I don't know how to answer. Every one of us has different skills\experience, what might be for one a very simple model, for another is difficult to build. As for the scale, generally, a bigger scale is easier to build,
That diorama setting is amazing, the sea works very well. It is correct to have sailor figures in a presentation like this.Hello, it is my first intervention in this forum, greetings to all.
