Beautiful Wolfgang!!, I am about to prepare my Montañés dedeyes, you mention that you are using amatti 1mm thick thread, is that measured the same way Occre measures threads?, the thickest thread that comes with the kit is .8 mm, that would make these thread a .2mm thicker, is that correct?, I am making my own themread, the ones that come with the kit are terrible
@@albertomunoz5896 Thank you. I compared the Amati and OcCre rigging yarns in an earlier video (see in my playlist). The 1 mm yarn from Amati only has a real diameter of 0.8 mm (see tab at the end of the video). Therefore, I always used the 1 mm yarn from Amati when 0.7 mm was stated in the instructions.
Hi Wolfgang, firstly compliments on your quality work. The ship looks great. I am looking for something a bit bigger to build after I finish Pegasus from Amati and your Motanes looks like a really good option. I have only built one Occre kit ( Endurance) which was a lot cheaper and I thought the kit quality was just OK. Are you happy with the standards of the kit components in Montanes..? it looks to me to be much better than Endurance but that might just be your superior building. Would appreciate your feedback on the kit. John Australia ps... I just saw your rigging tool and immediately ordered one....what rope did you use for your running rigging..? was that from Occre.? that was one of the poor components in the Endurance kit. Yours looks much better but those red spools look more like Amati.
Hi John. Firstly, thanks for the praise. Basically OcCre makes reasonably affordable kits. What I like is the use of different woods (compared to Artesania Latina, for example, where you always have to work with colours). However, the relatively low price is reflected in the level of detail. Models from OcCre are always a bit ‘simpler’. The biggest problem with OcCre is the quality of the rigging yarn. You guessed right, I got the running rigging from Amati. I got the standing rigging from a German manufacturer (www.modellbau-takelgarn.com/). But I'm happy to invest the money, because even with the consistent use of beeswax, the OcCre yarn doesn't get much better. P.S. Unfortunately, Occre kits do not come with stands.
Hi Wolfgang 👋 Great to see that you are back😊 The Montañés looks amazing 👏 Really looking forward to see her finished, and your next project 😊 Take care 🙂
Thank you. Yes, I'm mixing white glue and water to fix the lines. It dries completely transparent. I'm almost finished. But the last few weeks have been nice weather, some family parties (followed by Corona) and I have a new gaming laptop. All distractions. When it gets autumnal now, maybe I can focus on shipbuilding again.
I confess that I did this more or less by feel. Like you, I did give it some thought, but when my calculations showed that the plank had to be tapered to 2.37 mm, for example, it was difficult to really keep to this over the entire planking. So I proceeded step by step and made new decisions after each plank. The only thing I made sure of was that I did the same thing on both sides.
Hello again, thank you very much for your answer, it makes a lot of sense. I guess the point is to keep the lower end of the planks parallel with the keel due to the curvature so that it closes aligned. Thank you again the love you put into your your work admirable. Marcus
Beautiful work Wolfgang, thank you very much for the detail on the installation of all those little pieces (I don’t now what they are called), the manual is simply not very helpful, how many did you use?, the manuals said there where supposed to come 95, I see you only got 87 and I just got 85. Thanks again!!
Thank you very much. If I add up all the ones from the construction plan, I get 82 (if I haven't forgotten any). I have distributed all the rest on the bow.
Very nice work must be getting towards the last of the sails? Glad you mentioned the camera was out of focus. I thought I had had one too many Bourbons ;)
hello, ive been searching for the wood cutter you use. I built the prinz eugen and cut all my strips with a knife, and that cutter would of saved time. where is it sold and whats its actual name. thanks
The anchors look amazing Wolfgang. If there is one thing, more than any other , I have learned from you is that attention to detail makes a huge difference to the look of the ship.
Hab bis jetzt jede folge gesehen ...GLÜCKWUNSCH zu diesem wunderschönen Schiff ...Mal eine frage welches Schiff wirt das nächste sein...vielleicht schliess ich mich an bei deinem nächste Projekt
@@hans-gerhardpichler8893 Danke. Ich habe noch zwei Baukästen liegen. Für die John Smith Shallop von Pavel Nikitin habe ich vor ca. 8 Monaten ein Unboxing gemacht. Und zu Weihnachten hatte ich mir die HMS Victory von OcCre gegönnt.
Wolfgang, I am beyond jealous of your sail work. The way you prepare and build the sails and yards to mount onto the masts is perfection! Like I said, jealous!!!!!
VERY GOOD TEACHER FOR ME. AFTER THE 2 VIDEOS WITH SANTA MARIA, I MADE THE MODEL WITHOUT PURCHASING ACCESSORIES (LESS THAN 12 PIECES OF RAM'S HEADS). I BOUGHT ALL THE MATERIALS FROM HORBACH AND CUT AND PROCESSED THEM ON A WOOD LATHE
Nice work on the sails Wolfgang . I hope you show how you reef the sail. It was something i wanted to do on Soleil but wasnt sure how to do it authentically.
Das Takelgarn von OcCre ist mir zu fusselig, das kann man ohne wachsen nicht verwenden. Bisher habe ich immer die Garne von Amati verwendet. Für das stehende Gut habe ich diesmal aber etwas besseres gesucht und bei "Modellbau Takelgarn" gefunden. Es ist allerdings nur in braun erhältlich. Das Takelbesteck gibt es bei Artesania Latina.
I use the follow: 250 g Black Colour Quick Stain Nigrit "M", for Cold Burnishing - Black Dyeing and Protection of Copper, Bronze and Brass see for example: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gVPE8BcSq0U.html
The ship is looking incredible ! You made tying the ropes to the pins look so much easier than when I did it. I had to mute the microphone due to the swearing 😅
Hi! Congratulations for your professionalism! If you use a cyanoacrylate glue that does not block the micro cannula and keeps the rigging knots flexible, please tell me the brand and model. Thank you!
Thank you very much. Unfortunately, my superglue gets as hard as all the others. But the long cannula really only rarely clogs up. The glue hardens due to moisture and there is no air exchange in the cannula, so I can leave the bottle without a cap.
