  1. I have finished planking the deck. This work took a while.
    To prepare each plank separately before gluing on the model, takes more time. The advantage is that no more sanding has to be done on the model. So there will be no dust on the model itself.
    The base for the whip staff has also been made.
    It has not become a deck with a nice equal planking scheme. So, my apologies to everyone who does not like this.

    Thanks for following

  2. Danny,

     

    Tracks on a scalemodel can always be a bit too long or too short (Unfortunately, I have already experienced this a lot...)
    Do not glue the tracks before you are sure that the length is correct.

    I would first place the front and last wheel (bottom rollers) then you see if the tracks have the correct length.

    The track tension is  controlled with the idler wheel.

     

    Nice work.

    Nice kit and good luck with the build.

    Thank you,

     

    In the meantime, a cautious start has been made with the fitting of bolts. These must be carefully sanded later
    And an attempt to imitate the "nails and planks"

    "bolts and nails" are made of stretched spreu
