  1. This ship is one of the the several wooden and plastic models I have going. My new goal in life is to finish one!
  2. Sorry I stopped building ships for about a year! In all honesty I tend to just build and use plans for reference. I have read a lot about planking and experimenting with small ships helps.
  3. Indeed! It is past the hard part, plywood does not like to bend!
  4. Over all this kit is a series of attempting to make squares round. I wonder if it is me or the kit.
  5. Trimming the plywood to uniform height, balancing bow geometry.
  6. I also am filling sanding and priming lights and tank. As well as pre assembling the internal wood “trim”.
  7. Kit calls for 2d planking. I may skip that. Have not thought of painting yet, working on the plywood upper bulkheads I guess we can call them. Kind of wish I had left this is the box today! 😂🤣😂🤣
  8. I give up attempting to edit my almost incoherent description of planking…..
  9. Hull actually seems pretty good, unfortunately there is no reference drawing. I modified the “floor” by adding 1mm bass strips, give it some contrast.
  10. Got a bit lazy and just sloppy filled when I realized what a pain supplied planks did not bend worth a flip.
  11. Spray cans if you don’t want to gear up for airbrushing,
  12. This quote thing is confusing me! I have this kit sitting on my maybe I should start one more ship kit pile……. Your build is absolutely stunning! Very inspiring! I also am a big fan of 3d printed upgrades and mods. Almost tempted to buy one, almost. I am of mixed feeling about Model Expo stuff. I think for accurate models they are outstanding. Some of the bass wood if not the best (15 year old kit) I wish they would stop white metal and go to 3d printing faster. But overall I guess I really like their kits! As a retailer they are the bomb. (I have 4 or 5 of their kits unopened)
  13. I need a Tony’s dumb ideas thread! Also I am tempted to buy this kit, cuz of who designed it and no rigging!
