The package includes a set of plywood parts, a set of wooden slats of various cross-sections, bags of small parts, brass parts, a set of drawings and an EN manual.
A 1:64 scale non-floating model kit of the historic sailing ship HMS Speedy from 1782 by Vanguard Models. She belonged to the first generation of new naval brigs, served in the English Royal Navy and had a rich history.
The ship was launched in 1782. Her armament consisted of 14 4-pounder gun mounts and 20 revolving half-pounder guns, but with posts for 20 guns, as the revolving guns could be removed from their emplacements and moved to other emplacements. The Speedy had a very eventful history: she was captured by French frigates in 1794 and then captured again in March of the following year. Speedy was renamed Saint Pierre and Napoleon himself presented her to the Pope. Speedy was a thorn in the side of the French and Spanish naval forces when commanded by Thomas Cochrane, which culminated in a remarkable feat, the capture of the Spanish 32 gun frigate Gamo.
The stylish box with a photo of the finished model is carefully, tastefully and qualitatively graphically designed and contains the name, technical data and scale of the model.
When you open the lid of the box, you will find the wooden parts of the plywood model, a set of moldings, brass parts, small parts sealed in bags, a set of drawings and a manual.
The set contains a complete set of drawing documentation of the model in a 1:1 scale with images of individual details. In the clear pictorial manual, the assembly assemblies, their completion, including the masts and booms and the method of tying the rigging are drawn to scale. The multilingual construction process provides a framework for the logical assembly of individual components.
The HMS Speedy model is suitable for experienced modelers. Contains 14 sets of laser cut materials including laser cut and engraved plates, copper plates for the hull below the waterline, castings of the main guns, double hull plating, in linden and pear wood, walnut masts and spars. 60-page, color illustrated building guide with 10 1:1 plans.
Vanguard Models was founded by well-known model ship designer Chris Watton, who has been responsible for Amati's recent model ship designs, particularly the Victory Models series. Now, as an independent manufacturer, he consistently realizes his ambition for the best possible fidelity to the original and the highest quality of material. He uncompromisingly introduced the production of parts from noble wood with laser engraving, and it is also important for him to produce perfect construction instructions with hundreds of color photos so that the models are a pleasure to build even for inexperienced modelers. The high quality of the material and the well-thought-out design are definitely worth it.
Only experienced modelers with many years of construction experience, who have a complete overview of the issue and have mastered all the technologies and working procedures for building static model ships, should start building ship models with the construction difficulty Expert. It is also necessary to have experience with the processing of various materials, gluing, coloring and orientation in drawings and the determination of own construction procedures. The instructions here are only an orientation aid for the construction process.
These models are very comprehensive and detailed with almost museum quality, which are built by experienced modelers for months and even years.
For construction, we recommend buying tools, glue and paints.
Building model ships requires the right tools. We recommend an excellent set of Modelcraft tools for ship modelers (set of 12 pieces), or Modelcraft tools for modelers (set of 18 pieces). We also recommend the purchase of nylon clamps and indispensable modeling pins. We recommend a modeling mat for editing, precise cutting, gluing parts and also as table protection.
For gluing, we recommend universal dispersion glue and Robitronic instant glue medium 20ml. We recommend acrylic enamel paints for coloring. Apply colors with quality brushes (flat brushes for surfaces, round brushes for details).
