Welcome aboard Dollburger,

Can you please tell us your real name?

I leave the advise to our more experienced modellers.  But one of our members, Adam (SkerryAmp)  has created the Model Ship World Ship Kit Database You can search the database on skill level, manufacturer, scale, kit type etc. It is certainly worth having a look.

For tools, you might have a look here, in the articles database.

I wish you smooth sailing and happy modelling.

Anja

Looking good Bob, nice progress.

Enjoy your week away from the shipyard.  We will manage without your updates, I think.

Hello friends,

Thank you all for the compliments and the likes.

And a warm welcome to Ulises, Denis, Piet, Richard and Sean,

It is high time for an update, however small.

Glued the lining onto the interior of the frames.

Made an offset in the lining in the areas coinciding with the support for the crossbeams.

Cut the crossbeams to size.

Planked the forecastle deck.  In contrast to the waist deck, I decided to simulate caulking.

For this I used India ink fro Faber-Castell (PITT artist pen, black 199 ***).

It is a bit getting used to, because the planks are so thin. But it looks better with than without the caulking.

Dry fitted the forecastle, the sections of the hold deck, the sections of the quarter deck and the crossbeams.

So far, so good. To be continued..........

Thank you for watching,

Regards,

Anja

Hello Sean,

I know Augie is smiling.  You did an excellent job, she is just beautiful.  

The finished build also brings a tear to my eyes, because now it is time to let go.

Thank you for this.
