[Challenge & Achievement] The Seahorse Barque COMPLETE

I finally finished the Seahorse barque Late this morning! It looks absoloutly gorgeous and i love it! So here is my Review

At the Beginning it takes abit to adjust to the kit (ofcourse) starting with the more simple and easier things like screwing and Glueing paper which i loved, the small details in the ship are lovely, but i ofcourse i wanted to see thoes hidden details so i did paint them gold, as you can see in the photos :smiling_face: the Hardness rating is a 6/6 on the Robotime box but i would say its a 4/6 Depending on your skill level. For my skill level which isnt that great..i would say i did amazingly well.

This kit is definetly the one you should consider purchasing It took me 15 days to complete which is quite awhile and the longest kit ive done at 603 pieces, this Seahorse Barque also had Options at the end of building. You can customize the ship with leftover string to however you like, the instructions give you examples on ones you can choose :smiling_face: So this Kit is worth buying at the Original price as i bought it on sale :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: This Seahorse Barque Ship build is a 10/10 for me

So lets go onto the Daily complete Kit Fun facts!

The James Cook is who owned this historic ship years ago..but who was he?

Captain James Cook (1728–1779) was a renowned British Royal Navy officer, explorer, and cartographer who led three foundational voyages to the Pacific Ocean (1768–1779). He is famous for creating the first accurate, detailed maps of New Zealand and the east coast of Australia, and for being the first European to visit the Hawaiian Islands. Cook conducted three major Pacific voyages for the British Admiralty and the Royal Society, mapping extensive, previously unknown areas.

He accurately mapped the entire coastline of New Zealand and the eastern coast of Australia in 1770, paving the way for British colonization.First Voyage (1768–1771): Tracked the transit of Venus in Tahiti and charted New Zealand and Australia. Second Voyage (1772–1775): Became the first European to cross the Antarctic Circle, disproving the existence of a temperate southern continent (Terra Australis).

Third Voyage (1776–1779): Searched for the Northwest Passage and became the first European to visit the Hawaiian Islands.

Cartography and Science: Known as a brilliant navigator and mathematician, Cook’s charts of the Pacific were so precise that some remained in use for decades.

Death: He was killed on February 14, 1779, during a conflict with Indigenous people at Kealakekua Bay in Hawaii. Born in Yorkshire, England, to a working-class family, Cook rose through the ranks of the British Navy through skill and dedication, rather than through aristocratic connections. He was highly regarded for his efforts to improve the health of his crew, significantly reducing scurvy on long voyages.
