Fantastic! I’m a bird carver for thirty years but watching you, you have changed my mind and I will be building ships soon! The beauty of the ship when done has convince me that this was going to be my new hobby!

What a treat to see her finished. Those shots where we see the entire finished ship are breathtaking. Fine work and very entertaining to follow. Cheers.
Enjoyed watching it all happen....and the nice segment showing the building brought it all pleasantly back. Wonderful work, John. True craftmanship. Awaiting the next. Thank you!!!
Thank you very much Daniel!!! You should never say never, or at least before you are convinced of your skills it would be good if you were able to see my first ever wooden model, it was a disaster!!!
@@JohnsWoodenShips I'd love to see your first-ever model. I would also like some advice on where to begin. I've completed my first small, plastic wee boat, but I'd like to progress slowly but surely. What was your journey like, please?
@@Mr1drew I feel like i am being interviewed :) My first ever wooden ship has been given away as a gift (i made someone happy) because i couldn't stand to look all the mistakes. And i could see them all. Fortunately only a few pictures are saved from that disaster. Then my 2nd one was better but still it was pretty bad. I made someone happy again :) The 3rd one is still with me in my collection and it's the HMS Pandora. A lot of mistakes there too but the result was acceptable. It's a big journey of 20 years so i cannot talk about it in a few lines. My best ever, Santa Ana. My 2nd best? I am building it right now and it's Montanes.

John what a build, she is really beautiful. You did a fine job and it shows. Great music with this video very much enjoyed this . Thank you so much for taking the time to film all of this build. Patience well beyond what I could have done with all the filming and editing involved. Keep up the good work my friend.
Hello John Ijust finished the Santisima Trinidad that i made thanks to your videos i speak french but with the visual details i undertood a big thank you. Conside makind the SOLEIL ROYAL De Agostini i fing its a beautiful french boat . From Quebec Canada
It has been a pleasure watching this model come together. Thank you for all of the hard work putting this up on video to share it with us. Can't wait to see what's next. Stay healthy.
Thank you for taking us on this wonderful journey, John. I have been following your build since the unboxing. You have built a beautiful model and should be proud. I hope you take us with you on your next build the same way. -Ted
Thank you very much Ted!!! I am going to build another one but since it will come from Spain it's going to take a while because of the virus situation. But finally i hope that we all stay healthy and have fun with the next one!
Waoo!!! you are incredible Jonh, thanks to you i have finished my first ship model San Francisco, you help me a lot with your videos. Thank you very much
Congratulations John. You have done great profesional work!!! Your ship is a masterpiece!! Beautiful!! You have almost mastered that!! Bravo again! I will visit you to admire the ship. See you my friend!
I hope that some day people will start watching videos like this one. It is a very difficult build, it requires a lot of experience, a lot patience and too much time.
I have been binge watching this build, absolutely magnificent! Been doing quite a few years of plastic modeling now, mainly armour and ww2 airplanes, but the challenge has gone. Still like it, but a bit less these days. Becoming to easy, sounds weird but I just make model after model, and place them in my display cabinet and that’s it, next. After watching you building the Santisima, I just might have to try a wooden modelship. Not this one, obviously, because that is one complex design requiring years of experience. But something simple with one mast. Already have a lot of tools, so the investment will not be that big. Thank you for posting all these steps, currently watching you building your latest model. A joy to watch!
Thank you very much for your kind words!!! I should recommend to start with this one : www.occre.com/model-ship/ships/albatros.html it is simple enough to begin with without being too simple. Have 2 things in mind 1) you have to make mistakes to learn and 2) wood does forgive mistakes :)
Very beautiful build. I binge watched all 78 parts. You gave me a lot of great information for the ship I'm building now. (Blue Shadow) and a gun port. Look forward to your next adventure.
Looks amazing! I am currently working a model of the USS Constitution and the instructions are incredibly vague, almost of no help, and I’m knew to ship building so your videos help me out a lot! Keep up the good work!
Wonderful looking model. Incredible great work you've put into it. I've enjoyed all the videos of this project and looking forward to the next one. Please continue with the detailed videos of the progress, very instructive and entertaining to follow.
Think this was a fantastic series, loved every minute and can't wait to get my own model. I have the Albatros to complete which I am up to the masts and yards stage and then HM Bough Endeavor then HMS Bounty. Think I should be busy for the next few years. I will be back to review all the stages of your build to make sure I do the right thing. Thank you very much for your efforts and filming.
I am glad that you liked it Peter!!! You will enjoy your models, i am pretty sure about that. If you'll need any help do not hesitate to ask me :) And i would recommend to take your time and watch the current series "Montanes", it's a very good one :)
Well done John! It looks amazing! Quite a job! But, let me tell you, I think it would be prettier if you did rolled ship sails, cause the sails hide the pretty job that you have done with ropes and masts. That’s my opinion, but the piece it’s yours and the merit goes to you. Congratulations for one more ship in your portfolio. 🏆
This looks very nice because you can see that valuable wood was used. Many hobbyists coat their models with paint so that you can no longer see the wood grain. This is not so good because one doesn't know if it's made out of wood or plastic.
IMPRESIONANTE…que lujo y Preciosidad de trabajo y maqueta ,adoro La Mar 🌊 y cualquier navío,sobre todo a vela sails,admirable esfuerzo y precisión. Sueño con tener uno en casa. Ojalá echo por mi . Gracias por compartir experiencia y trabajo. Xapooo. He disfrutado mucho viéndolo..🤙🏼⚓️🌊🌬
Spectacular job John! I have watched from the beginning and I am jealous of your skills and patience. Can't wait for the start of the next ship and "school" is back in session. I start the Occre king of the Mississippi in a couple of months. Any advise? I see a number of modelers have put low voltage LED lights in them. I really like the look, but don't know where to begin. Congrats on a great addition to your collection.
Thank you very much Dave for your kind words!!! I do not like to put light in the models, i do like to put light in their display case. The King of Mississippi is an easy model, the keel is prefixed and you have to cover it with wood strips, at least that's how it was from Artesania Latina. I do not remember something particular about this model, but if you'll need any help do not hesitate to ask me!
The Dons built some of the finest ships in the world at that time. Even the brits knew that . Unfortunately they were manned by Spain’s lack of good officers and men to use them as intended
This is an awesome pice of art! I'm wanting to build one of this models. Can you recommend a less complicate one? May be an intermediate one, cause I have some experience in other types of models. But none in ships. Thanks in advance!
Thank you very much!!! This is a good model to start with : www.occre.com/model-ship/albatros.html Or if you want a little more difficult you can go to this : www.occre.com/model-ship/essex.html
Thank you very much Nils!!! It's better with a single planking, you can make better the curves but you need experience and until you have it you work on 2 rows of planking.
Hi John, The result is much than impressive ! I learnt a lot too! One question: you mentioned a 8 mounths or plus. Does it means full Time? Could you share with us an idea in hours for such a big ship. Once again, all my congratulations for this wonder.
Thank you very much! It's hard to calculate the hours, for about 5 months i was working each day for about 4-5 hours. For the rest of the period i was working 1-2 hours each day and on weekends and holidays at least 8 hours each day.
Thank you very much, i am glad that you like it!!! I learned all that after a few builds. I am building wooden model sails ships since 2001 :) Check out Santa Ana, she is my best model : th-cam.com/video/nNmNqme4oAI/w-d-xo.html
Soy modelista de barcos de madera y considero una pena pintar de barniz brillante toda la madera. Una pena que hace que el barco sea de juguete nada realista. Y eso que el trabajo esta muy bien ejecutado.Le felicito.
Congratulation, nice job. Only one point (you used too much glossy paint on wood and cannons and metals parts,..... you had to customize it in an antique effect).
Thank you very much! I like gloss for specific reasons and i also like the models to be brand new, like they came out of the factory, clean and shiny :)
Hi Peter, just common water based wood filer is 4 different colors according the wood color. It's a Greek product so there is no point of telling you the brand.
wow tons of work and really good looking, I belive there is a ton of work behind this beauty! Not sure about the shiny gloss, maybe something like semi gloss would be better? Also try to use water based glue mix with water and aply that for all ropes, they will look much smother and so fluffy ;-)
Yes there was enormous time and work for this model. I prefer gloss, that's why i made it gloss. The ropes with glue on will take shape that you probably don't want to.
Ver este barco con todo el velamen debió ser algo maravilloso y a la par aterrador verlo venir. Por desgracia era un barco desfasado Tecnológicamente ante barcos ingleses o franceses y la decadencia del Imperio español hizo el resto. Pero no quita que el barco fuera simplemente sublime.
Spanish ships are my favorite, you can tell :) This was the ship with the larger amount of cannons ever build!!! 140 cannons and like you said think about see that coming at you and 70 cannons are ready to fire!!! It was the aircraft carrier of it's time.
Fue un navío del que nunca estuvieron cómodos en la Armada por difícil de maniobra, pero siguieron con el proyecto una vez empezado para usarlo en bombardeo a plazas enemigas y para enseñar la bandera. Por cierto le ruego se informe como era el imperio español en 1751. Cordialmente.
I have built " casa blanca " out of thick cardboard big sail ship, about 24"long, 8"wide and21"height, it was there with me for about 8 years, now I have built a passenger ship of card board exactly like konkanshakti used for Mumbai Goa ferry, that too about 18" long, 6"wide and 10" high. I am interested in ship modelling, but here we dont get readymade cut sizes ply board. I get more fun in making ships according to my idea and measurement. Thanks for the ship model post in which I am more interested.
I have followed every episode of your build John and I find the finished model very impressive. Great job!
Thank you very much!!! I hope to see you again in my next project!

Labor of love. Santisima Trinidad was an incredible 1st rate ship of line. Shame she was essentially destroyed at Trafalgar.

Thank you very much! I like gloss for specific reasons and i also like the models to be brand new, like they came out of the factory, clean and shiny :)
Hello John! Could you tell me what wood filler are you using for the first planking? I am trying to complete a model from Corel .
Hi Peter, just common water based wood filer is 4 different colors according the wood color. It's a Greek product so there is no point of telling you the brand.
GREAT MUSIC.
Thank you very much Bill, i was searching for the music tracks about 2 months.
wow tons of work and really good looking, I belive there is a ton of work behind this beauty! Not sure about the shiny gloss, maybe something like semi gloss would be better? Also try to use water based glue mix with water and aply that for all ropes, they will look much smother and so fluffy ;-)
Yes there was enormous time and work for this model. I prefer gloss, that's why i made it gloss. The ropes with glue on will take shape that you probably don't want to.
@@JohnsWoodenShips alright, I totally understand... and those ropes, I used this technique before on my models and looks pretty good ;)
Ver este barco con todo el velamen debió ser algo maravilloso y a la par aterrador verlo venir.
Por desgracia era un barco desfasado
Tecnológicamente ante barcos ingleses o franceses y la decadencia del Imperio español hizo el resto.
Pero no quita que el barco fuera simplemente sublime.
Spanish ships are my favorite, you can tell :) This was the ship with the larger amount of cannons ever build!!! 140 cannons and like you said think about see that coming at you and 70 cannons are ready to fire!!! It was the aircraft carrier of it's time.
Fue un navío del que nunca estuvieron cómodos en la Armada por difícil de maniobra, pero siguieron con el proyecto una vez empezado para usarlo en bombardeo a plazas enemigas y para enseñar la bandera. Por cierto le ruego se informe como era el imperio español en 1751. Cordialmente.
I have built " casa blanca " out of thick cardboard big sail ship, about 24"long, 8"wide and21"height, it was there with me for about 8 years, now I have built a passenger ship of card board exactly like konkanshakti used for Mumbai Goa ferry, that too about 18" long, 6"wide and 10" high. I am interested in ship modelling, but here we dont get readymade cut sizes ply board. I get more fun in making ships according to my idea and measurement. Thanks for the ship model post in which I am more interested.
I am glad that i was able to help :)
