Hi Wolfgang, firstly compliments on your quality work. The ship looks great. I am looking for something a bit bigger to build after I finish Pegasus from Amati and your Motanes looks like a really good option. I have only built one Occre kit ( Endurance) which was a lot cheaper and I thought the kit quality was just OK. Are you happy with the standards of the kit components in Montanes..? it looks to me to be much better than Endurance but that might just be your superior building. Would appreciate your feedback on the kit. John Australia ps... I just saw your rigging tool and immediately ordered one....what rope did you use for your running rigging..? was that from Occre.? that was one of the poor components in the Endurance kit. Yours looks much better but those red spools look more like Amati.
Hi John. Firstly, thanks for the praise. Basically OcCre makes reasonably affordable kits. What I like is the use of different woods (compared to Artesania Latina, for example, where you always have to work with colours). However, the relatively low price is reflected in the level of detail. Models from OcCre are always a bit ‘simpler’. The biggest problem with OcCre is the quality of the rigging yarn. You guessed right, I got the running rigging from Amati. I got the standing rigging from a German manufacturer (www.modellbau-takelgarn.com/). But I'm happy to invest the money, because even with the consistent use of beeswax, the OcCre yarn doesn't get much better. P.S. Unfortunately, Occre kits do not come with stands.
Hab bis jetzt jede folge gesehen ...GLÜCKWUNSCH zu diesem wunderschönen Schiff ...Mal eine frage welches Schiff wirt das nächste sein...vielleicht schliess ich mich an bei deinem nächste Projekt
@@hans-gerhardpichler8893 Danke. Ich habe noch zwei Baukästen liegen. Für die John Smith Shallop von Pavel Nikitin habe ich vor ca. 8 Monaten ein Unboxing gemacht. Und zu Weihnachten hatte ich mir die HMS Victory von OcCre gegönnt.

Amazing work Wolfgang. There are certainly a lot of sails and ropes on the Montanes . All looking incredibly authentic.
Thank you Greg
Wolfgang, as always and amazing job! You handle the rigging and sails like a master on their canvas. Well done!
Thank you
Mr. Zinn, you are an artist.
@@alfredmasullo Thank you
amazing work as usual Wolgang, attaching the blocks was a bit fiddley, I must confess i usually wrap them around and glue
Thanks Grant, I like having the option to still move the blocks to either tighten or loosen the lines.
Super.
Thanks
