Hello friends, this will be my first wooden model ship, the Golden Hind by OcCre in 1:85 Scale. I have no real experience with wood models; however, my first impression of this kit has been positive. The laser cut pieces have been easy to identify and cut out of the sheets. Shown below is a dry fit of the basic hull that I assembled last night. A little more fitting and some decking to make sure the rib alignment is correct, and i'll glue things in place.
Questions I have should anyone like to comment:
What is the best product to use to glue down deck planking? (I'm located in U.S.)
What is the best product to use to glue the ribs to the keel?
Any help is very much appreciated!
