Several months ago, I completed the Gdansk waterfront model. In addition to the buildings, the model calls for the construction of two ships. With much difficulty, I built the first ship but have not had the skill or the patience to finish the second one. I really admire those of you who build ships. Architectural models are so much easier. I was waiting to finish the second ship before posting this model on the forum. You will just have to see this model with one ship for the time being - maybe forever :-).
The waterfront model called for five different kits produced by JSC models in Poland. The first kit is the center section which consists of 13 attractive buildings. This kit contains the ground plan, the wall, streetlights, and the water sheets. The second kit contains the two buildings on the left side – the House of the Natural Science Society and Mary's Gate. The third kit contains the large building on the right which is known as the Crane Gate. The fourth and fifth kits are the two ships. The entire model measures 36 inches long.
And even though all of the instructions are in Polish, the publisher included a loose page with the directions in English. Each building has an excellent drawing showing the location of the parts along with the part number. The details are quite good.
Our upcoming Cathedralquest will be a cruise on the Baltic Sea. We will visit 10 major cities in eight different countries. Gdansk is one of them. Models are very scarce for these cities. JSC has produced models for 16 different buildings in Gdansk. I have purchased all of these kits. The only other kits that I could find for this area is the Savior on Spilled Blood church in St. Petersburg (which I posted last month) and the Monttoren (coin Tower) in Amsterdam.
I always like to make models before we see the real building, but I doubt that I will finish all of the Gdansk models before our upcoming adventure.
If you have not visited my reformatted and updated webpage – CATHEDRAL QUEST: our quest to experience cathedrals in Europe, please have a look. I am presently working on our 2012 adventure to southern France. I am adding the days as I complete them. I am now up to day 6 with 16 more pages to go. On the model page, I have photos of all 72 models by country with links to the real building that we visited.
