started painting today, going to start with the white section first because its harder to paint over black with white
-
We have a keel! also i believe i will be painting the draft of the ship the occre copper colour
-
almost done with the bulwark decorations just need to do some sanding of high spots then i can move onto the keel and painting!
-
sorry for all the updates recently I'm just making more progress and want to document the building of the ship in detail. have made tonnes of progress today and I'm very happy with how it turned out, will still be working on it for a few more hours and ill post an update tomorrow.
-
Im actually tied between leaving the draft its planking layer and the freeboard its painted scheme, or painting the freeboard and draft, but I have no idea what colour I would do the draft. I want to make the painting as historically accurate as I can possibly get with the kit so if anyone has any sources or pointers to what colour I should use it would be much appreciated.
-
more progress today, all there is now to the planking is to fill the holes, happy with how it turned out, ran into few issues that were fixable
-
thats some top advice allan, thank you. ill have to apply this to my next model though lol i have already started putting planking on the bottom half of the ship and i dont really fancy back tracking at this stage. thank you though ill be sure to research up a bit more about this.

hey all, done a little bit of work, not much but thought i would show the progress and how im doing it. seems to be going well. also thanks for all the advice, the CA glue seems to be working okay for me, i usually press the vaneer down with a craft knife so i dont get glue on myself and i believe the result after sanding down is sufficient as i did the same technique on my first model which also had a 2nd layer. will be working more on it today hopefully so expect a few more updates in the coming days
-
started the 2nd layer yesterday with minimal issues, had to replace some putty with actual wood because of a concern i had with it being too weak but all is going good also dont worry about the bank card its completely invalid and doesnt work anymore, i just use it to apply putty
-
Thanks for the advice Chimp, im adding some more filler today and ill try starting the 2nd layer later on. if you have any advice in terms of the 2nd planking layer it would be greatly appreciated.
-
Thank you for the nice comment! i appreciate all the support you guys are giving me its giving me so much motivation!
-
another update for today, sanded the hull down and added some wood putty to fill in some of the holes and correct some of my mistakes. feels pretty smooth so i think ill move onto the 2nd layer of planking
-
been a bit since my last update because i have been doing stuff in my personal life, but first layer of planking is done. now onto sanding and using some putty to fill holes.
-
starboard side is closed up, think i did a pretty good job. will hopefully be starting the port side today or tomorrow
-
Thank you! but funny enough ive actually been using johns guide as a pointer in the right direction for a while! hes got plenty of tips and tricks for this ship.
-
ive actually been using wood glue with a mix of using ca glue at parts i cant hold down with nails or gravity. then i clean it up with cotton buds or paper towels. i cant wait to see your progress on the ship! its interesting to see the different ways people make these.
