Dida got a reaction from CDR_Ret in Leut II by Dida - traditional Croatian ship
I wanted to feel under the hand how the hull surface is running. I made "waterlines" 6 mm thick and glued them together. In right order of course. The holes in the waterline are here for accurate positioning the pieces.

While resting of my first scratch build, I am planing to start another ship of the same type. During the building of the previous ship I learned something about it. This time I will not start with real works until I completely finish the drawings.
I started with modeling the hull using DelftSHIP Free.
This is, at this moment, the idea how the ship will look like. It will be changes until I choose final version.

Hi! What do you use to make metal eye link black? Some chemical or the paint?

Nice ship Bob!
You can pull the rope through beeswax to avoid to see hairs on the rope.

Dida got a reaction from KennethGag in Waxing the threads
I tried this. Great idea, Stelios. But I did not solve the removal the excess of the wax as good as I wanted.
On the lower side of the jar cover I put a piece of balsa wood, 5 mm thick, to remove excess of the wax. I slipped the thread through balsa wood with an needle. I did not make a hole with a drill.
Some wax was also removed outside of the jar cover:
Here are thread guides:

Beautiful ship! I am impressed with whole build, but must say that the hull planking is perfect.

Thank you Karl! I saw this tree here, in Croatia. But I did not know anything about its use.

Hi, Karl!
I wonder about wood type:
Wood type Schweizer Elsbeere - it looks like pear. I have not the word "Elsbeere" in my German dictionary, but I suppose it is a pear. Is it?

I can use your build log as a tutorial. Everything is just perfect. Iron works A+!

Very interesting building method. I like the way you made the rig.
But what happened on the last picture?

Beautiful ship J.Pett. Very nice work, clean and precise. Do you have your own laser cutting machine? Is carving done by laser engraving?
