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.

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)

Hello lovelies, As you can see, I have decided to continue planking despite the error. Two strips later, frustration set in because the tension wouldn't go away. So I put the stuff in the corner and sulked for two days. Well, in the end everything went well. But I now see the whole thing in a positive light. Because I was able to learn how to get the tension out by rejuvenating a few strips. Above all, to find the point from where and how much to taper. And also good news. I bought a Victory from Corel in the bay for an apple and an egg. Greetings Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Hello lovelies, take a closer look at the photos above. The old scatterbrain made a mistake here. The first strip on the starboard side was easy to lay. With the fourth, I thought it would lay worse than the port side, but didn't think much of it. Then the big surprise after the fifth. I landed on the bow at the point where I had only landed on the port side with seven battens. The first problem was that I needed almost an hour to attach each strip to the hull, so the first four were of course bombproof. The second, more serious problem was that I used waterproof white glue. Soaking and peeling is not an option. In my opinion, sanding the whole thing down and redoing it would be just as counterproductive. So it stays as it is. I'm still a beginner in experimental mode, and no master has yet fallen from the sky. I'll be able to live with it and learn from it. Best regards Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
