San Felipe - Unboxing

Welcome to a new unboxing! This is San Felipe from OcCre. It is an outstanding model with materials of sapely and walnut. Of course even though this is a very good model i will try to improve it and definitely i will throw on LED lights. This Video comes in 4K.

Always looking forward to new builds and this is worth waiting for!

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Oh she will be one of my best!

[@GregWilson635]

Love the San Felipe. I will look forward to watching you build it.

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

She is a very beautiful ship my friend and i intend to make her look even better !!!

[@Blaze_1961]

I love your builds - I would like to see a very detailed video of hull planking especially how you mark and line off the hull.

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

I am glad that you like them!!! You can see that in some of my other builds, like Victory, Beagle, or my current build, Cutty Sark :)

[@johnmarley6695]

John, You’re making us all jealous. Kind regards from Australia 🇦🇺. (Amerigo Vers-poo-chi.)

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

This one will be one of my best, i have great plans :)

[@jeffjay2225]

Nice model. Looking forward to seeing you build this one

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

In a few months :) i believe i will start it during Summer :)

[@martf3129]

A work of art indeed! Mouth-watering seeing the kit and feeling your enthusiasm already for improvements, I would be tempted myself if I was progressing faster with my first ship "La Candelaria". Two months since the start and I have only now added the bulwarks, but I did plank the decks with individual pieces of wood rather than long strips. Incidentally I used black marker on the sides of deck planking and it looks good, but I left the ends clear to avoid bleeding into the end grain. Eager to see this one started John!

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

I have some ideas of customize it already! You will love it, i can insure you!!! La Candelaria is a very beautiful and detailed ship, you will enjoy this build!

[@simonsoegaard60]

Hello John, great unboxing, have build thisone my self, looking foreward to se your take on it, very happy to hear you name me one of your friends, and count you as one of mine. Best wishes Simon

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

I am glad that you like it my friend!!! Even though we have never met on person i count you as my friend!!!

[@eduardosuarez4239]

John hermoso barco San Felipe felicidades.....🇲🇽🇲🇽....

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Thank you very much my friend!!!

[@goforitpainting]

Have a great build.

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Thank you very much!!!

[@gordonback]

Hi John. San Felipe will be a great build. I got mine three days ago. Like you, I will finish my build in progress. I'm just beginning the rigging on Trinadad, so I will start on her a bit before you will. I do agree that Felipe will be something special, and also a challenge. I believe we are up to it. Good luck with yours.

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Hi Gordon! We will enjoy this build , i am sure!!!

[@StandByShields]

Good luck with the build! Have you considered using flickering LEDs to mimic candles? I'm sure you'll do a great job

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Thank you very much!!! Yes i have, i have used them before but now i prefer to use led strip more than single leds.

[@ednordhagen7827]

Can't wait to see it after the cutty sark.

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Yes this one will be a great one!!!

[@chrismonson3581]

Looks like a beautiful ship John. No doubt you will make it a work of art. Looking forward to the build. Have you reached out to OcCre to see if they have any other options for the captains quarters? Its so common to use LED's for that area you'd think they might have some aftermarket option. Either way I'm sure it will be a wonderful build.

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Yes i have, i looked out for photo edged windows to fit the scale but they didn't have any. I have some thoughts about the stern windows , what i can insure you is that the stern will have lights!

[@nigeldouglas1529]

A great ship John. She is beautiful and I love the balconies on the stern. I will definitely build this at some point :) kind regards Nigel 😊

[@mohmohh3659]

John.هذه سوف تكون الأجمل و الأروع.

[@ednordhagen7827]

Thank you John I'll try to do it. Where is the best place to get it?

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

It depends in your region, if you are in Europe then it's OcCre directly (they are station in Spain). If you are in the States, then try to find local a distributor, of course again you can get it from OcCre.

[@ednordhagen7827]

John can you recommend a good beginner's model. I've only built one. The blue nose, it was year's ago. After watching your videos I'd like to see how I can do. Any help would be great. I don't have a lot of tools so the easiest would be the best. Thanks.

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Yes, absolutely, i think La Candelaria is easy enough. The hull is double planked and there wasn't any particular point that bothered me, and you have a full series to guide you! Of course you can ask me anything anytime :) You have to remember 2 things, 1) make mistakes, that's how you will learn, 2) Wood does forgive mistakes, not all of them but a lot :)

[@geofftompkinson]

Hi John, when will you actually start the build? I’m half way through the Endeavour and want to do this one next. Would be great to have you well ahead of me so I can follow along. Have you thought about leaving one side open and fitting out all the interior ?

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Hi Geo! I will start the building immediately after the competition of Cutty Sark. I estimate around June. No i won't leave the one side open because i will have electric circuit inside and led lights 😀

[@geofftompkinson]

@@JohnsWoodenShips not possible to hide the wiring and still have internal lights?

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

​@@geofftompkinsonit will be extremely difficult to hide the wiring with an open hull. Also you will need special wiring and single leds , not ledstrips. Have in mind that this kit wasn't designed to have led lights.

[@pegasusrepublic375]

Perhaps if you make clear resin copies of the lanterns, you could drill out the center and put an LED inside to light it. I did something similar using Oyumaru to make the cast and UV resin since it is clear.

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

They are pretty small to be able to insert a LED inside. I asked from OcCre lanterns like the ones in Montanes and they are going to send me some.

[@WickedModelships]

Hi John:) Wow, what an amazing new ship:) Occre is truly a great company that puts quality first:) I was thinking of getting the Amerigo Vespucci, but seeing this, I have changed my mind 😊 I'm getting this for myself:) I love the changes you are talking about doing, and if I can tell you one thing.. The hull, as beautiful as it is with sapelli, it would look so much nicer if you didn't paint it white. Let her keep her wonderful wooden color😊 Great video 👍

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

HI! Yes she is a beauty! I have some thought in my mind, one thing will be certain, the outcome will be magnificent!!!

[@dreamabell-tr9cc]

John,did the box of paints come with the kit? I like to have everything before I start building. That’s why I beg you all the time.Ray

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

No it is extra but you can get it anytime.

[@user-ul9rs2ge7x]

It's like this model is trolling you, making placing led lights as impossible as it can haha

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Oh i will make that happen :) I can insure you :)

[@axel4971]

Buon giorno Jhon seguirò gli atri tutora con passione però ma pero son rimasto un pò pensavo che il modello fosse in una scala più grande, a proposito che scala è realizzato il modello?

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Hi Axel! Glad to have you with me in this build as well! The scale is 1:86.

[@g-kip]

John, if you scan the pieces, I could cut them out using a laser as i have done with Santisma Trinidad

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

You are referring to the stern windows? If yes i am interested, find my in FB or send me an email : [e-mail]

[@jamesdennis2004]

This ship will definitely give the HMS VICTORY a run for her money. And I there is a tool that you can get to cut out the windows but keep the windows frame in place. And yes I think I may order this kit soon. After I get the USS Constitution and build her

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

She will be a fantastic ship, i can insure you!!!

[@parrot0051]

Is that a Belgian Groenendael ? my Belgian is 13 years old and she's being put down from Cancer this how my Shadow was so beautiful, you will have fun wit that ship model.

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Yes he is a Belgian Shepard, he is 20 months old. I am sorry to hear that... Thank you very much.

[@eupon]

This is the DeAgostini San Felipe

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

This one is from OcCre.

[@eupon]

@@JohnsWoodenShips i see, but it's the same DeAgostini's kit 2004

[@eupon]

SanFelipe Deagostini from OcCre

[@guysevi8981]

Yes ,this is the DeAgostini ship , OcCre bought the rights and repacjed the kit , It's a shame that they are going this road. I think that ZHL's San Felipe, although that as some issues in the building process , it's much more affordable , larger scale and excellent decoration pices ,and the optional of pear wood decor upgrade (not cheap though). Good luck with the build John.

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Thank you very much!

[@johanaarts867]

dont yue hihe glos paint

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

I will use the paint of the color pack.
