Hi Sundt! All colors on the hull are Quick bengalac from rattlecans. Satin white, satin årgang and gloss red. Primed with Quick primer.
-
And I decided to swap the heads, this is the new lookout, and he makes the decisions😃
-
This afternoon I started the work on the railings.
-
Early this morning I managed to start on the clothing👍🏻
-
The head for the Helmsman is done. I have no idea for colour choice regarding the clothing, Something red and yellow?
-
Finished one of the heads as well. Not sure avout his eyebrows🙈
-
I call them done🤪
-
I have also started the work on the two figures. The position of the helmsman is yet to be decided so I can not glue his arms yet. But I can start painting the watchout, their heads, hands and the binocular. I started with three thin layers of base scin and painted the eyes and the red bloodline around the edge. It is a WIP🙈
-
Today I finally had some time and painted the pipe for the oven, the exhaust and the things that leads the anchor chain throgh the deck. (what is those called?) I also finished the vent, changing some of the parts and added some scratch build parts to make it look more like the original.
-
The figure is from New CAP Maquettes in France👍🏻
-
The Helmsman has entered his cockpit😃
-
Six down, two to go!
-
Second layer with golden varnish. How many layers do you experienced builders lay?

Hi Sundt! I machine sanded the deck with 80 grit and it turned grey. Hand sanding with finer grit made it even worse… But I was not afraid😂, I used the sharp edge of a glass plate to «sickle» or scrape the wood to make the grain visible. It even got a gloss look before furnishing👍🏻
-
Painted the prop as well. Airbrushed with Balthazar Gold, several washes with Agrax Earthshade and a very diluted wash with Nikilakh Okside on top. Not very realistic but interesting for the eye?
-
Started on the deck as well. Need to sand a little more some places… The glass shard gets dull quite fast, hope I have enough glass to finish the deck planking.
-
Scraping the hatches and deck houses with glass. The upper one is only sanded, not scraped yet. I am amazed over this technique and how it exposes the grain in the wood!
-
I started to build this kit August 17. I have now glued the planking with water proof white glue. Glass scraping of the deck and hatches are next on the agenda.
-
Placing the waterline is hard to do on a big hull like this. The cross laser came in handy👍🏻
-
All beams were warped during 13 years of storage in different conditions, but I managed to make it fit with some persuation…
-
The keel and beams were glued in and the propeller shaft already in place when i got the kit. I started with the fore and aft plywood:
-
Got this kit as a gift from my father-in-law. Two previous owners have tried and failed to build it. This is my first boat kit, and also my first build of wood. I started modelling 1:35 armor in january and will try to transfer some of the weathering tecniques to this scale.

Hi Sundt. I got a kit from my father-in-law four weeks ago and started building it looking at your blog. How is the build progressing?
