Surely everyone will like the precision crafted model of the French frigate Le Superbe by modeler Zdenek. I apologize to him for the earlier mislabeling of the name. I believe he will gradually provide us with more photos from the construction. The model is finished at the end of May 2014.

I built this sailboat, as I mentioned before, during my military service at the border company Pisecna. I chose this model because I thought it would be similar to the Mayflover. After opening the box, however, I was disappointed, as the two models differ only in the stern mirror. The box does show a 1:83 scale on the bottom left, but I believe that if I compare the size of the Mayflower to the plans for this ship, it is 1:96 scale. Nevertheless, it's a nice model, and I think nicely built. Plus, it has lasted me without repairs until now. Maybe it was the fact that it hasn't moved anywhere, it's from my parents' secretary to a display case in my apartment, where it remains to this day. I have weighed the model during the build and have tested that if some additional rudder is added, adjusted properly, the model can be launched downwind and floats beautifully. I have the Mayflower elevated the same way.

The model of this Victory was built by my friend Tomas. Although he didn't have much experience with building such models before, he set about it with determination and precision. Today he himself regrets the little things he was afraid he couldn't do. For example, he made the blocks for the guns in 4 mm instead of 3 mm. It is a pity that he did not manage to compress the sails on the booms made by Amati more. And the more garish yellow colour is just due to inappropriate lighting conditions during the photo shoot.

This beautiful galleon was built by modeler Radek, as he states in one year. See how various accessories can significantly increase the quality of the model. How much the nicely made sails, including the emblems of the Spanish Crown, do here.

This model of the famous ship Santa Maria was again built by my friend Peter in 2018. And because I had built the Nina and Pinta models, my friend Peter donated the model to me so I could have the entire Columbus fleet. I'm happy because it's an amazing model.
The model is fully equipped according to the attached plan. And Peter used all the accessories I offer for this model as a representative model of my accessories when building it. You can buy these accessories HERE. You can follow him.

My very favourite model was perfectly made by my friend Petr. Although I know the model very well, it would be hard to find a mistake. The ship is done in a combat position, with all guns on one side extended, and the gunports closed on the other side. Too bad I don't have a photo of that side as well.

The model of the frigate Jolly Roger was built by my friend Peter in 2012. The model is with complete rigging according to the attached plan. As with many of his other models, Peter produced his own blocks from wooden prisms. The smallest ones are made from a 2 * 2 mm prism grinded to 2 * 1.5mm. Then he has to drill a hole and give the blocks a length.
