My web "virus scanner" won't even let me use the link...marked as suspicious. Hope it works out for you 🙏

Beautiful, neat boats! That must be difficult on that scale. -
Thank you 🙏 Thanks! No it's not always this tidy, but inbetween fases it is...so, for example, just as I finished the headwork on the bow, I tidy everything up and put it back in its place. It's always nice to start a new chapter from a clean and tidy place. At least that is how I like it. I have a friend who is an artist (painting and miniatures) that has a workplace that looks like there is a bom exploded, and het looks like that all the time. She just likes that and finds that cozy, for me it's too chaotic. Everyone has their preferences

New to ship modelling? But what do you build first?
Ronald-V replied to MSW's topic in Wood ship model kits
Not necessarily a beginner's choice as you only have 1 layer of planking that also needs to look good on the inside...But it looks like you're doing well! Have fun! -
Thank you! Yes, absolutely...and it's best when you've just finished a construction phase and then you can tidy everything up and put it back in its place. So satisfying 🫠😁 Thank you! Yes that is really simple to make and I have always enjoyed having these tools within reach, but also not laying on a pile in a drawer. And wish you ofcourse also nice days!

That's a lovely "testpiece", it's a decoration piece on itself

Thanks James!

Not really an update, but a quick snapshot of what I've been working on. I've been busy cleaning up/reorganizing my house these past few weeks, and the hobby room was definitely in need of some work. I had a lot of stuff in there that wasn't hobby-related and was taking up a lot of space... I cleared everything out and moved it, and now I'm really happy with the space I have left! I also rebuilt the work table (it had rather uneven scaffolding planks and therefore wasn't perfectly level), making it a nice, long table (2.4m). I'm currently waiting for a magnifying lamp I ordered, and then I'll have it pretty much complete. It's not a large space, but it's enough for what I'm doing. Now I can happily get back to working on the Sphinx!

Good start Ellie! That's a nice hull shape to plank for a first ship Regarding the PVA (wood glue)...there are quite some brands that require less waiting time, like for example TerryPat is sharing. I use the blue Pattex D3 and that one is within 10 mins pretty dry and workable, UHU is also a good one. Do look for a water resistant one, that's handy if you are laying soaked planks on top of it (or something in that matter)

Welcome

That's a big cutter! Will be nice to see this one build, have fun!
-
I think it's a nice color palette as a whole...it all fits together well

Really nice pictures Mustafa! -
Is does really add something to the model...these vertical strakes

Welcome! What a lovely model you have build, I love the old look of it And a great choice regarding the Sphinx kit; you won't be disappointed. I'm having a lot of fun building this kit myself. 👌
-
Great looking rope! I'm probably going to attempt to make it myself also...but that's in the future. I wish you all the fun with this build, good luck!

You can enjoy planking for a while 😄🤪
-
Yes I saw that, I meant you solved that well

Pearwood comes in quite a few different color variations, from dark pink to light beige/yellowish. What I did for my Sphinx build was order the same number of planks (different widths) and a sheet of pearwood from a company like "Modelers Sawmill" (I ordered from "Hobbymill.eu") so I could go in any direction with the planking. I first sent photos to this company of the laser-cut side planks above the wales so they could choose a roughly similar color tone for the planking (you can never get it exactly right unless you send a sample). Of course this is not strictly necessary for the Vanguard kits, because of the good quality wood Chris provides, but if you want to go all-out with planking it is useful/desirable
