  1. LOL....no expert here, but thanks for the compliment . I'll take some pictures of the process this weekend. Nothing special about my approach...but it's easier to explain with some pictures.
  2. Update: Just some progress pics. Finished the second wide band also...now working on the outer three planks on both sides. Trying to figure out the hooked scarph planks, Looks good I think I had already a preview with some moist on the deck planking...that looks quite spectacular, really curious how it will look with the WOP.
  3. Interesting build! Also nice large scale, will be nice to see this come together
  4. Really nice model! Congratulations and well done! Looking forward to see you tackling the next one
  5. Very interesting! And yes it does look really nice, curious how it will look when under full sails
  6. Welcome! And great that you start a build log...you learn a lot from it. And it's nice to have something where you can look back at your process of what you've already made.
  7. Personally I would burn out of doing multiple build simultanously, but a lot of people here on MSW are fine with it So good choice of kit and I hope you enjoy this new edition for your starting fleet!
  8. I'm very curious how this project develops. The ship looks very attractive on their site, also the scale is nice. But indeed...compared with a Vanguard ship skeleton this looks...different
  9. That does look really nice! Eventually the maple would age a bit more yellow if I remember correctly, but in my opinion that would only look more beautiful.
  10. Lovely! I like the dark "inboard" colors, that makes the natural wood of the benches etc really pop! Nice combination
  11. Welcome!
  12. Thanks! And it is really nice to work with...it holds nice sharp edges 👍
  13. Update: First curved band on port side planked. In advance I thought it would be something very difficult, but so far it has not been that difficult. Because I had already planked the hull this was easier. Also because it is 2 dimensional compared to the hull where the plank has to bend in 3 dimensions. Perhaps planking a curved deck is a good primer/exercise to then try the hull. The measuring etc. is similar. The caulking is a bit difficult to see because I had very lightly sanded it to try polish away the pencil lines a bit, but that also makes the lines less visible now (and the lines are still there lol). It will come to the fore later when I varnish it. It still needs a good sanding, but I will do that when the deck is finished. By the way, I liked making the hooked scarf planks on both sides. Now first continue with the wide band on starboard side.
  14. Lovely ship and diorama! The water looks really realistic! Well done
  15. You are a real Vanguard Veteran by now....wish you lot of fun with this new addition to your fleet
  16. That's a beautiful piece of art...they compliment each other really well!
