Congratulations Sasha! You have completed a beautiful model and gave your client more than they asked for. That is a kindness we should all take a lesson from. I have enjoyed following this build and look forward to learning more from you in the years ahead. Bravo!

Thomas Marocke said: Hi Sasha! The "Albatros" turned out very nice. It was once a kit like the one that has been offered cheaply for many years with so many other models for beginner. In recent years, the quality of wood has improved significantly with some manufacturers, laser cutting or milling was added. Also the quality of the parts for example by finished brass etched parts has become better. Anyone who is intensively engaged in ship modelling will not get around the purchase of expensive books and machines at some point. The supply of excellent parts has increased by leaps and bounds, and with your own skills, expertise and precise machines you can build excellent models today. You still have to build the shipyourself, the result can vary greatly even with good materials. Your "Albatros" is an example of the best use of beautiful wood, metals, blocks and ropes to make a super model! Best regards Thomas Click to expand...
Hi Sasha! Anyone familiar with the European "Old School" construction kits can vividly imagine the contents of the "Albatros" construction kit. Be substituting many building materials with the right talent, your high-quality "Albatros" was created. Best regards Thomas

Alexander74 said: At the moment, the project for the construction of the schooner "Albatross" has been completed. It took me 5 months to complete this construction. I tried to make this model a little better than it is presented in the set. Although the customer and I agreed on the assembly out of the box, but I could not resist reworking. And so I changed: I completely altered the keel frame and frames, the stem, keel, sternpost and rudder blade were replaced with a pear. The rig in the box was all crooked, so I replaced it too. Geeks and gaffs made of black hornbeam. Made some design improvements. Changed the machine tools (slightly modified them). Completely replaced the rigging and blocks out of the box (they went out of the box to the bin). I completely changed the wiring diagram of the rigging. The set contains a very simplified diagram. And what is left of the kit here? Hmm ... need to think. How well I was able to judge your colleagues in ship modeling. I can say one thing: I am happy with the result. And as the customer is SATISFIED, words are not conveyed. View attachment 247473 View attachment 247474 View attachment 247475 Click to expand...
