As you can see, I made good progress after all. I pimped the oak because it was too light in color. First stained with dark walnut, then sanded everything again with 600-grit paper. Then stained with medium oak, sanded with 1000-grit paper, waxed and polished with absorbent cotton. The result doesn't necessarily make me happy, but I can live with it. We are now out of the true-to-scale business. But since this ship never actually existed, I can live with it. So let's no longer call it San Martin but an imaginary Spanish galleon.

Hallo zusammen, Ein weiteres Problem ist bei den oberen Thekenablagen aufgetreten. Auch der Rumpf war dicker beplankt als von Occre vorgesehen, innen wie außen. Da ich das vorher wusste, hatte ich mir extra 8x2mm Nussbaumholz gekauft. Ich hatte zwei Tage daran gefeilt nur um festzustellen, dass es immer noch zu schmal war. Der Überhang war mir nicht ausgeprägt genug. Außerdem gab es viel Gemurre vom Chef als ich im Netz nach breiteren suchte „schon wieder Geld ausgeben“. Also habe ich kurzerhand eine Eichenleiste geschnappt die ich vom Schreiner bekommen habe und welche daraus gemacht. Das erste Problem war dass sie drei Millimeter zu dick waren. Zweites Problem, man kann Eiche nur bedingt von Hand sägen ohne dass sie bricht oder splittert. Also habe ich sie mit einer Japansäge grob auf Maß gesägt und dann endlos mit einer Sandfeile abgeschliffen. Und nein, ich will keinen Dremel oder sowas verwenden, da war auch kein Fünfzehner hau mich tot. Das wird wohl noch eine Weile dauern. But they have to be done first to get the fuselage moldings in alignment Übersetzt mit DeepL.com (kostenlose Version)

Then again with a translator. For those who can't imagine what I meant. Because I have an extreme aversion to superglue, I had to find a solution to press the strips on with Ponal. But as life goes, I couldn't get the two strips that were to be installed further down to stay in place. I've just spent almost two hours working on them only to see them fall off again. I probably shouldn't have stained it yet. But that would have made the whole thing difficult, as the walnut would also soak up the stain. In short, the old man resorted to the super glue and put an end to the spook. Sometimes you just have to jump over your shadow. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Hello everyone, As you can see, I've finished the bug so far. Since Occre had only planned to stain the inside and to plank the outside with 0.6 Sapelli, I had a small problem. Because I planked both sides with 1mm. So the 4x1mm strip provided for this was too narrow. So I quickly cut some of the 7mm wide material from the kit down to 5.5mm. The next step is the trim strips on the fuselage. The next problem awaits me here. I haven't got a clue how to fix them to dry without leaving marks because I don't want to use superglue. Let's see how much leeway the little word “actually” gives me. Regards Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Hello lovelies, We continue to work on the bow and stern, without any noteworthy incidents. The stand for laying on the side is also finished. The side rails are planned next. But it will take a while as we have a party going on in the village. Five days of exceptional conditions at the navel of the world. There's a little brother who urgently needs help. Skooooooooooool

Hello lovelies, I got a bargain and bought two kits including slipway from an estate for just 100 euros in the bay. One is the Victory from Corel, unbuilt and complete. There is also the Endeavour from Artesania Latina, the old version. Unfortunately, according to the seller, who did not know that there were two ships, there are no more documents. I have read here that this set is very difficult to build due to the poor instructions. But bad ones are still better than none at all. In any case, I will try my luck and finish the construction. So now it's up to you. Does anyone still have a DVD lying around somewhere that they could kindly send me a copy of? It is possible to download old plans from AL. But this one, of all things, is not available except for two sheets. So, dear ones, have a look around in all the drawers to see if you can find anything. It would be a shame if I had to throw it in the garbage can. Greetings from the navel of the world Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Hello everyone, As you can see, I've been busy working on the bow the last few days. Since I have planked with 1mm oak instead of 0.6 Sapelli, a lot of adjustment work is necessary. I haven't shaped the hull as round as it should be, which makes the whole thing even more complicated, but you have time. I also built two pure work stands. A third one to put the ship on the side will follow in the next few days. Greetings Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Don't worry, that's true. I'm currently building the San Martin from Occre, which is the same type of ship. I hadn't paid attention to it and only saw it when the decks were already glued. You just have to lay the deck to see if the offset is correct. The mizzen is attached there with a lateen sail. It is quite possible that this is why it has to be offset from the other masts. Greetings

The hull is now planked, sanded with 600-grit paper and the first coat of stain applied. This is now allowed to soak in, then it is sanded again with 1000-grit paper and a second coat of stain is applied. This is because the stain causes the grain of the oak to puff up and the whole hull has just become very rough. I hope that the second sanding and staining will give it a nice vintage look, which will then just need to be waxed and polished. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
