  1. Good afternoon to all. For a long time, I didn't have the opportunity to continue what I started, but now things are moving forward:). Colleagues! On this quiet and not-yet-late evening, I have decided on the next steps in my shipbuilding project. The next step is the rough sheathing of the ship's hull. Due to the lack of free time, the speed of the ship's assembly has slowed down. Before starting work, I dismantled the ship's hull from the display stand. It has become inconvenient to firmly attach the model, so I suggest building it in a foam box. It's relatively soft so as not to spoil the model. All the preparatory work is completed, it's time to start. Before starting the cladding, we arm ourselves with… Wood material linden rail 5x2x50mm. Wood material birch rail 5x2x30mm. from the magazine set from Diagostini. Tools and consumables Nails 10x0.7mm Nailing tool Mini drill + 0.7mm drill bit PVA glue (red) Wood flour Iron Rack soaking bottle Shlivmashina + renovator Sandpaper, sponge, bar. A knife for cutting rails. The motor for narrowing the slats. I started roughing the hull. A) Fitting the slats on the model body, marking with a pencil from where the rail needs to be narrowed. Marking with a pencil the location of the nails in the projection of the frames. Next, I made holes with a 0.7 mm drill bit and narrowed the rail on a sandpaper. C) Soak in hot water for 10' - 15' When soaking the rails, there is a problem that there is no container in which you can place the rail completely, but in my case, it is not necessary to soak the rail completely, in this case, I soak in a glass bottle from under beer. In order to avoid cracking and breaking of the rail in places of sharp bends. You can also bend over steam. G) Once again, I try it out how it fits on the body, and if everything is satisfactory, I apply PVA glue to the rail and immediately attach it with nails. Since the nails are very small and it is inconvenient to hammer them in, it is best to use a nailer. I have such a tool in my arsenal. After that, the work went much faster. However, a small hammer should always be on hand, as it may be necessary to finish the nail. D) I remove the excess glue, especially on the end of the attached rail, using a cloth and then a knife. If there is a gap between the slats, it must be filled with glue and wood flour. And so 10 rows are made. I cleaned the body a little from the glue, but I haven't polished it properly yet. I used sandpaper, a block, a grinder, and finally an emery sponge. This manipulation allows you to evaluate the work more accurately. After that, I move to the other side and do the same. The most difficult part is bending the front slats, as they require careful attention. The middle and rear slats are much easier to bend. I am confident that our model will last a long time. The model is not cheap. Each modeler invests a lot of time, money, and effort into it. It is primarily a reminder of the present, which is unfortunately fleeting.
  2. Hello colleagues. Recently I 've been working on the stern of the ship .In parallel, he worked on the illumination of superstructures and aft lanterns. I put the stern on glue .now there is nothing that does not slow me down and I will be engaged in roughing .
  3. Interior trim, midship deck carriages-dec. I installed pass-through compartments on the nagel on the coffel-nagel bar.
  4. Yo-ho, rookies! Here is our old vessel 2021, finally caught up with this new shining ship with a tiger on the flag! And let Neptune urinate on the one who misses him! We have run out of grog for a long time, and the holds of 2022 are full and waiting for looting! It's time to gut him in search of profit and let everyone find everything he needs: dating, travel, credits and awards, new achievements and, most importantly, time to achieve all his goals! And there's plenty of time in these holds, by the Dutchman's anchor! A thousand devils, put aside the talk, it's time to capture this frigate. Hey, crew! On board! Hang the rats on the yards! No one will leave us in the ocean of Life! Happy New Year! 😁
  5. Today I polished the case. The work is dusty, so I used a protective agent.
  6. Work on the case. I am currently working on the hull of the ship, or rather preparing for the rough skin. After filling the spatula with balsa and partially peeling it off, I found this problem. I am not satisfied with the contours of the hull in the bow of the ship. I think this is another surprise from Deagostini. The contours of the body can be clearly seen from afar, for example, look from the side, where the line is clearly outlined. These lines from different sides determine the shape of the ship's hull. The bow part should be different from the stern part as they perform different tasks. The aft part has various devices, for example, a rudder, which ensures the maneuverability of the vessel, the bow part must solve other tasks, so that the vessel does not break into a wave... According to the first photo of my ship, the contours of the hull are almost identical. And this can be seen in the form of a sinkhole in the bow. I don't want my ship to have the same contours. I will strive to rectify this situation. And by the way, there is something to focus on. That's why my next video is dedicated to this particular problem. God help me.😇
  7. Additional illumination by the aft section of the deck is the poop; the superstructure above it is the poop. Inside this superstructure, the cabins of the commanding staff were traditionally located. The backlight is simple 6 12V LEDs and two lithium batteries (tablets).
  8. I'm working on the decks of the quarterdeck and quarterdeck. Deck flooring maple + pink pear, I'm trying to place a ladder on the afterdeck. I replaced the chicken coop, the one that I threw away from Deagostini, I made myself. And besides, I will place it not on the foredeck, but on the afterdeck.
