Wow Igor....are you trying to establish a world record in built models?  What is the model on the extreme left? A frigate?

My next projects,

some of them are finished till planking.

Nina - Amati

Pinta - Amati

Wasa - Corel

Caesar Bireme Romana - Mantua

The interior will be the same like the exterior.

More pictures.

Removing the styrofoam.

Planking.

Great work so far, very interesting using styrofoam to form your dinghy. That will be much easier to remove versus a block of  wood

Don,

you are right very easy to remove a styrofoam,

and and shape is excelent.

Ready for planking.

When i get right shape I applied wood filler (putty)

DINGHY

As basis I took styrofoam

I finished the sails,

ready to raise.

This is excelent work!

Excelent!!!

Igor

This is excelent work,

I like it.

I like your ship.

What kind of stain do you use (water or oil)?

The lathe is a 6 in 1 or 8 in 1 for metal ? What is the quality of the wood you obtain? I use a plastic - metal union 6 in 1.

Wait to see more.

All the best, Cristi

Cristi,

I use beech tree, basswood, mahogany, ash

Somethimes i buy wood and sometimes i cut it by myself.

Now i have olive from my garden, probbably i will use it in some new project.

Tell me about your pastic lathe, do you happy with it,

In the first time i want to buy plastic than i decide for metal and diferency in price is good,

Maybe for this job plastic lathe is enough???

Hi

I just found your build log.

You are doing outstanding work

I really like what you did with the haul.

It looks to me, that you painted the haul then sanded. I am guessing that this brings out the grain in the wood.

Then you stained it with oil base stain.

I see you have a airbrush in one of your pics. What was in the airbrush???

IF I have missed something in your finishing the haul, please let me know.

I would very much like to try your method.

Thanks

Joe

Hi Joe,

You are right,

Painted then sanded the hul,

I got the grain in the wood, also fled some small holes in planking if exsist.

Painted again with airbrush (needle 0,8-1mm), i used airbrush also for small parts (needle 0,3mm)

I like this technique, i used it on WASA Corel.

Igor

Hamilton,

Very nice work,

And i agree with Peter, coppering of the lower hull.

Igor

Ready for rigging.
