Ravensburger, Vision Line serie. Holographic 2 images in one.
I had two others numbers of this serie bought in 2000’s. Bought this one second hand.
Resolved it in two days… 
I can’t explain, but I think the fact I worked on an oversized puzzle developped something in the way I use to solve things like that…
Here is the second image, holographic (model)
I’m on this one now, second hand, old FX Schmid, metallic : oh yes, the light on it is a challenge !! 
New bottles in the collection
Special edition Jack Daniel’s/McLaren
Fantastic! It’s a great hobby that.
I don’t have a wide knowledge of it, but maritime history fascinates me. Always loved that era, with all the galleons.
This is just a slideshow with music into the making of my HMB ENDEAVOUR.
Soleil Royal 1669 update…
Main deck now finished, Cannons rigged, deck detail added regards to Cannon balls/carriage, barrels/kegs spare wood for yards etc… stairwell rigged and eyepins added to gratings. 6 running rigging lines attached as per instructions 2 of which get rigged to the Main sail as far as I can make out, will obviously have to double check the poor rigging plans just to be sure.
The Hull architectural sides are all permanently fixed, the other 4 decks have been dry fitted and all fit superbly like a glove.
Next up will be more bow details and fitting the Main Stern Architectural facia. Will also be making cradles for the 2 lifeboats.
Slowly coming together…
Looking great. You must have the patience of a saint. 
SOLEIL ROYAL 1669 update…
Hull construction work has now finished.
Stern is finished along with all architectural features including the lanterns and some added ones. Boats and cradle are finished as well as the channels and rigging eyepins for the start of the rigging.
I am pretty pleased they way she has turned out, considering I didn’t really have a vision of how it would go.
Next up will be working the wood to make the masts and yards so it will stand up to the rigging tension.
Wasn’t sure where to post this 
Received these 3 in the mail yesterday… don’t judge 
New Eddies
The Maiden collection keeps growing!
Another recent arrival … Debbie Harry
Any update on this Rab? Would love to see it finished.
Hi Paul,
I’ve managed to get bk working on this kit these last 4 weeks after 6 months lay off due to Personal family issues and Health reasons.
Just small steps mostly atm, as i try and deal and come to terms with other issues.
This is where i am at just now…
Just started the ratlines on the Lower shrouds. The foremost lower ratlines are finished with a grand total of 288 clove hitches tied, just starting on the Mainmast lower ratlines. Still a very long way to go mate as i am not 100%.
Hope everyone is ok 
Looking great and definitely coming together. Transforms once the masts and rigging start to be added.
Take care mate. 
All the Lower ratlines are now complete from the Spritsail, Foremast, Main and Mizzen mast, with 942 clove hitches being tied in the process.
Now moving on to rig the deadeyes/shrouds for Top masts of the Fore, Main & Mizzen.
At the moment, my favourite hobby is sleeping.
Another one of my hobbies albeit i haven’t added much to my collection of late.

I need to get back into coin collecting. Similar to stamp collecting I think. All about the history and research. That’s what I find interesting.
I have a nice little collection started, but it’s difficult to come across the old British coins I’m after. I have so many Roman ones, I don’t know what to do with them!
