Hello, new update. @BranPie I didn’t know what sternpost was 😅 I thing it’s good now. I removed all the nails next to the sternpost, it was the best thing i did. Now i understand why some people just use the nails to secure the strips in place. I need to glue the bulwarks at the back. Not finished sanding yet. Step by step 🤞🏻
-
@BranPie Yes, Thanks, the stern is not fully sanded, just half. It will require more attention. Or maybe the pictures don’t have the best angles 😅
-
Hello everyone! After some days, (when possible), I’ve started sanding the nails and the wood.
-
Hello, hope you’re having a good day today. Showing some progress after almost 2 weeks.
-
Week progress. Next step: cutting excess at the stern and start planking at the bottom.

Thanks! I had experience before with plastic models but nothing compared with wood model ships. I’ve bought some tools, nothing expensive, at local stores.. Glue, sandpaper, basic stuff.. I really recommend to start this hobby. Any question you have just ask and someone gives you an advice. I started a build log here because I wanted to document everything, things I did wrong, bad materials, products.. Enjoy! Regarding the buccaneer, I’m planning to buy the San Juan from occre instead. Similar to Polaris, etc. 👍🏻👍🏻

First wood strip, there is a gap below the bulwark and the wood strip on the stern. Maybe I should glue a piece of wood in that gap. Or wait for the second planks.. Anyways..

Hello, some updates. The bulwarks are not completely glued, and I need to sand a bit at the front.
-
More updates. at the stern, the bulwark end a little lower than expected maybe I will try to bend them.
-
Good evening everyone 🥸 Finally I’ve started bending the bulwarks. (In this case just one) Very happy with the result. Bought a soldering iron and used hot water to bend. ‘Inside’ the bulwark, the black stripes were made from positioning the bulwark more than 1 second on the soldering iron. Didn’t know. Anyways..

Good evening, the curved sander arrived, and progress has been made. Just one step. 😅 I found out that I still have to sand the bulkhead frames before planking the hull. Glad to know, I have more sanding to make. Tomorrow I will continue. Some updates today -
-
Thank you so much! Oh yes, I’ve been waiting for a curved sander to finish the job on that specific area. It arrived today and tomorrow I’ll post more pictures 😄
-
Thanks! 🙏🏻
-
I have an irregularity on the last bulkhead frame, on the right side. I will sand and hope for the best.

Fresh news, i've started planking the deck. For the first time, using contact glue, in my opinion, i think i did a good job. It could be better of course. At the moment they are drying. Tomorow i will continue the process.
-
I have placed the deck without any glue just to check if everything was ok. The fit was nice. The skeleton has a slightly curve and i was concerned about that. I finished the day with some wood sanding. I've used 1200 sandpaper btw.
