some new decorations

using my hdd sander for small parts

and results

Had just some time for my hobby

and had to be very careful with the CA (cianocrilat)

glue some new parts

Painted the stern and castle

and the other side not stined

After i stained one side

continue with the stern castle

Continue to the stern

more paint and glue

sorry for the quality of some pictures (it depends of the light in that moment)

After a small holliday to the sea side, with my family, found some hours to continue painting

and glue some more parts

Hi Cpt_d, i also made San Juan Bautista and i have every week a small "heart attack" till the moment i found the magazine, with all the part.

An other problem was that i found parts with problems.

A second problem was that they give parts, and drawings, in a different order, other that it has to be (from some areas) and i had to wait some more weeks, or i found that i had some problems, when i used their order,  and i have to make some adjustments, at the end.

Also the price was high for that ship, i could buy a better kit, (full from the begining) at their price.

You can see my log for SIB (San Juan Bautista) and you can find what problems i had. All the best Cristi

Thank you Michael and Mark, for the nice words. I still have to work a lot, and i saw i have a little problem that i have to solve, when i'll be back from holidays

Hi Edwin, it is just a normal work, i still have to learn a lot. Not having problems with my wife, doughter or daughter in law, i bougt a lot of types of clamps, but i found that some times, the only very very good, is your own hand

Thank you for the wishes, and wish to you and your family, Good health and all the best from me Cristi

The last things i made, till the end of the week (when my nice come back to me)

I have to meke some adjustments, but hope to be ok at the end

More parts painted

New parts added

the way i have to fix for glueing

Prepare to paint:

and result

after this, i saw that the "line" has to be painted one level below, so i have to continue with blue

In holiday had just a few moments to work (had to go to park and play with my nice, but i enjoyed this)

Just some parts i made:

and result

Hi Denis, i like the "test" gun. It looks nie, and it is interesting that you explain all the process. I will remember this, when i will paint some guns.

Thank's for share

All the best Cristi

Cristi

Hi Denis

Excellent job. Like the stairs.

Did you thought to paint the guns?

Wait for new pictures. All the best Cristi

bending parts, using the steamer

and some tests

Some more

Had just some free time, and continue plankig

Hi Denis, nice work to the windows. Wait to see new photos. I like the deck planking colour.

See you soon. Cristi

Don't you have problems with the size of the screw? I will try but with 2x18mm because i think that 4x20mm will make problems to the plywood

Hi Michael, i also had this dream, for this ship, for many years, and finally i work to her, but the problem will be when i will finish.

I can't say is excellent, i still find some problems to my work, but i still have to learn a lot

All the best Cristi

It looks excellent at the end. Nice work and project. Cristi
