    Join me as I embark on a historical journey, bringing to life the Heller 1:75 scale model of the illustrious Santa Maria. The Santa Maria, captained by Christopher Columbus himself, was the largest of the three ships used in his first voyage across the Atlantic Ocean in 1492. A 'nao', a Spanish cargo ship, it was known for its robustness and ability to endure long oceanic voyages. #SantaMaria #HistoricalModel
    In this first episode of our model building series, we delve deep into the box to unveil what awaits us. From meticulously cleaning the flash to preparing the model kit, every step is a nod to the painstaking craftsmanship of a bygone era. We progress through each phase, finishing off with the application of the primer, setting the stage for the detailed painting in our upcoming episodes. #ModelBuilding #HellerModels
    Model building enthusiasts and history buffs alike will find fascination in this marriage of craftsmanship and history. Be it the anticipation of the unboxing, the satisfaction of cleaning the parts, or the precision in preparing the model, there's something here for everyone. #ScaleModels #ShipModels
    Stay tuned for a journey that traverses the churning seas of the Atlantic and the quiet focus of the crafting table. The voyage has only just begun! #ModelKitUnboxing #diy

    Great to see your video on this classic kit Alex. You know I am a fan of the old ship kits, even with their flaws and foibles, they have a real charm that modern kits lack. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

    Hello and salutations! Nice to see a notification from your channel. There’s been some conversations about “what is modeling” lately, what with 3-d printing etc. I personally feel that if you enjoy yourself and have fun with whatever you’re building, you have already accomplished what you set out to do regardless of other people’s opinions. In your case it’s easy for others to enjoy as your skill speaks for itself. Cheers😊

    Looks like a nice kit. Never built a wooden ship but hope to some day. The rigging seems daunting but it's one of those things that will really bring the kit to life. Looking forward to seeing that. Must admit that I was never crazy to see the canvas sails molded in plastic. I know that some people use real canvas, but even getting the right looking material can be a challenge.

    In 1992, round the 400th anniversary of Cristoforo Columbu's voyage across the Atlantic under the aegis of Queen Isabella of Spain, the Spanish government commemorated the occasion in sending across that same ocean a replica of the Santa Maria. It eventually came to Columbus, Ohio, where on numerous occasions have I seen it.

    Thank you for breaking up the video. It makes it easer to watch them when they are shorter and if I build this, it is easier to refer back too. Thanks again.

    Old kits and flash and now 3d prints and a ton of clean up. Give me honest flash and seamlines any day! Peg marks on moulded wood detail is not so funny but model making is making do with what is offered and using plastic card and putty when you want to modify. And skill and that very difficult thing, my Nemesis, patience... Welcome back.

    I was only thinking the other week that I need to give enamels another try, looking forward to next week.
    I have a question, did you think of using tube glue to join the hull together? If you did what made you decide against it?

    • @AlexModeling

      I always prefer this liquid one, the liquid one melts inside the plastic thickness. I prefer It😊👍

      I think its a German Heller... Not sure.. maybe old (older) mold than mine
