  1. Hi, I'm currently building the H.M.S.Beagle, but it is my custom to do at least 2 models at the same time and I'm still choosing which build another ship. Mauro
  2. Latest photos of the model, now my schooner is over. Mauro
  3. I started to place the second planking .... Mauro
  4. I painted and placed the crew of the schooner, although their poses do not seem willing to work hard !!! Mauro
  5. Thanks Bindy, and welcome back !!! Mauro
  6. Thanks Bob, my model is almost as good, but I'm sure it will be fabulous Lettie your !!! Mauro
  7. Thank you for the compliments, I do not know if I did a good model, I materials come putting all my effort, thanks again !!! Mauro
  8. I decided to self-produce the strips of the second planking, I bought it from a carpenter a scrap of veneer, which I cut into pieces of about 30 cm. Then, on one side only, I brushed glue diluted with water so as not to make the pulping wood during cutting. Using a paper trimmer I cut the wood (oak) in strips of 3 mm. Mauro
  9. I continued the first planking and placed the deck ... Mauro
  10. As I always do in my models, I apply inside the hull a mix of white glue, wood chips, sawdust and small wood scari. This gives more strength to the hull and prevents shrinkage and twisting of the planking . Mauro
  11. I've almost finished the planking, I'll have a little sanding to make it smooth. Mauro
  12. Hello Doris, great job, as always !!! I downloaded every single picture of your model, it is a veritable encyclopedia of ship modeling !!! Mauro
  13. I started to lay the first planking , the kit had to be very old because the strips are virtually dry ...... even keeping them to soak for hours. Are prone to breaking, I put them carefully and forcing them as little as possible. At the end of a good sanded remit all right! Mauro
  14. I finished putting the reinforcements, soon I will spend the first planking. Mauro
  15. I have finished the construction of the "dory", here they are on deck. Mauro
  16. Hello Pete, you're making an interesting project, I will follow with interest your building! Mauro
  17. Hello Bluenose, the imagination often gives us effective solutions with little expense - Mauro
  18. Hi Bindy, of course there is room for you !!!!! Reinforcements wooden L-shaped are my idea "patented" a few years ago ........... sometimes even I have some nice idea. See you soon ... Mauro
  19. Hi Bluenose , it's nice to have a companion navigation in the construction of the Beagle, good job! Mauro
  20. Thanks Robert, probably reinforcements are not necessary, but with a little effort I have a much more robust hull! Mauro
  21. Slowly I continue to apply the reinforcements ......... Mauro
  22. Thanks Bluenose , see you soon with new updates!Mauro
