I have posted some images of my new 1:350 scale model of the Elizabethan race-built galleon "Revenge". The model is by Zvezda and the kit was built, painted and rigged for me by Julián Fenández de Sevilla of ModelJShip. link |

Very nice work. Is it the Zvezda kit? |

Yes it is the Zvezda model. I hope to get Julián to take on São Martinho (1580) by the same company at some point. idont' Yes this refers to the same model. I had the idea for a full conversion of the model after reading "Elizabeth's Sea Dogs" by Hugh Bicheno. Discovering Matthew Baker's original drawings for Revenge and Zvezda's models/game made it possible. Julián Fenández de Sevilla of ModelJShip had converted some Langton 1:1000 Napoleonic ships for me and I was so impressed I brought my idea for a very accurate conversion of Revenge to him and he kindly took on the commission. He is a great professional and master modeler. I claim no credit for the execution! |

There aren't many useful model available for building a fleet but Airfix has a 1/400 scale model of the Mary Rose that can be used as an old ship of the period like a Nao or Carrack. |

Outstanding! This is very nice little kit and he did an outstanding job. I really really really wish they had gone to 1/300 instead of 1/350 though. |

Stunning model. Julian posted some WIP photos in another forum. Someday I'll scratch together the $$$$ for one of his models. |

DeRuyter You won't be sorry. His models are even more amazing up-close. |
