The making of the model ship Santa Ana. The Scale of the model is 1:84 and it belongs at the Elite series of Artesania Latina.The time i needed to make this model was approximately 8 and a half months with hundreds of working hours. The cost was approximately 1200-1300 euros (with the display case). The model alone was 730 euros on 2013. The varnish is gloss by choice because it "brings out" the wood, it's more easy to clean ,you cannot have any white spots and it looks better. You can see this as my trademark! To answer a typical question, yes it will probably float ,but you will never put it in water. The model has been discontinued by Artesania Latina, i believe it was due it's high price. You can find it only in a shop that has stock. Until today this model is the most beautiful and at the same time the most difficult model i ever made. For those of you who want the list of materials for the display case ,i have uploaded an excel file here : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1wty3CDvQ2t5TtGXcKebXUL47xcNGXHAd

The making of the model ship Santisima Trinidad. The scale of the model is 1:90 and it belongs at the OcCre series. The time I needed to make this model was approximately 8 and a half months with hundreds of working hours. The cost was approximately 550 euros (without the display case). The varnish is gloss by choice because it "brings out" the wood, it's more easy to clean, you cannot have any white spots and it looks better. You can see this as my trademark! To answer a typical question, yes it will probably float ,but you will never put it in water. Also the vertical sail of the stern is placed this way because if i placed it with the lines vertical it wouldn't fit.This video comes in 4K and has 2 sequential parts, the 1st part is a photo montage (consist of more than 1000 photos) of every step of the making and the 2nd part is a plain video showing the finished model. The music tracks in this video with the order of playing are : Habanera, Les Toreadors from Carmen ,Eine Kleine Nachtmusik by Mozart and 1812 Overture by Tchaikosvky.
