Saif, you are making really good progress. Your ship looks really nice and neat. One thing though, these dead-eyes all have to have one hole at the bottom, two facing up.  Like here: 

yes will be fixing them now ! thank you  

Chears !

And a quick question.. how do i make a rope tie that holds 3 blocks into it ?! its at the top parts of the masts

Furniture is finally done !

Looks good Saif, the sanding and lacquering make a big difference don't they .

 

  Danny

yes sir that's true! i used Sealer/Thinner thick mixture actually not lacquering 

The Hull is done! the planking was filed then had 3 coatings of sealer... started doing the deck furniture

I think you have put the Bowsprit on way too early, it'll get in the way of fitting out the hull. Or is it just sitting there without glue?

 

  Danny

No No not the nose mast ! it can be removed! i didn't glue it yet... I mean the part above the mast's hole 

A solution for this tip.. What do you guys think?

Framings added on the sides, rear, vertical rear and the spoiler XD

An oldie but a goodie! I tried to build this model maybe 30 years ago. I never finished it, I guess other interests came in the way. It is very nice to see one finished!

and that was the very first model I ever built in my life.. wish if I made a better work with it though.. the next ones I did better work with them... its a beauty

I haven't seen any yet... i was wondering if i can go for something specific... I will go check and will let you know right away

Cheers !

Hello Mr. Dan

Thank you

Thank you! I really appreciate the feedback Mr. Dan Vad 

I'll definitely try doing that from now on and I've been reading books and checking videos regarding the shipbuilding, and to be honest your points are the most useful ! I am a great fan of your works by the way!  didn't see this coming...

The thing is I want to point out the kind of glue I am using, it's a heat activated dark brown wood glue which gets really hard when it dries up.. its very sticky though and a pain to clean.. and also regarding holding and clamping the parts together.. the spring clamps don't get things to settle where i always want them to be, they always slide! and i also use rubber bands to hold things together till the glue dries up

and wanted to ask about a method I use to bend the wood.. which is I drown the wood in water overnight.. it gets tender and easier to bend later on... it works fine but i wonder if there's a better way? a more professional way to be frank

by the way, I got this kit used : the hull was done... the railings were broken at the curve.. one side was higher than the other.

really appreciate your feedback ! Thank you very much !
