Its been a while since I posted but, I managed to build and sand the keel and plank the deck. As for those holes in the keel I filled them with scrap wood and just sanded it to fit in the groove, it may not look the best but couple coats of primer and paint will hide it. Now im wondering: do I varnish the deck first, and varnish should I use, because there are a lot of components that will be glued on the deck or do I continue building the ship and varnish the deck later?

Just started building the keel today, Ive followed the instructions and cut pieces to the picture, and when I assembled the keel there was this rather large hole on the stern of the ship. I didnt glue the together keel, and I need sugestions on how to fill that hole

I ve read the instrunctions, and they dont use the waterline as a guide, but the first page tells me to paint the part below the waterline with varnish.

So I took advice from you guys and made a build log, so far I managed to build a stand because I still dont have the right tools for the ship, and I really dont want to mess it up. Anyways I dont have a waterline marker yet, so should I start building the keel or plank it first?

I have just recently gotten my first model, bregante by mini mamoli, and I need help painting it. I havent built it yet but I just want to buy all equipment I need at the same time. So I was just wondering, do I use a primer before painting with acryllic paint and what wood varnishes do you reccomend? Also do I put the varnish before I paint the model, or after its been painted? If anyone can give me answers I would be most grateful.
