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

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.

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???

[igorsr]

I finished the sails,

ready to raise.

DINGHY

As basis I took styrofoam

 

[igorsr]

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

[igorsr]

Ready for planking.

[donrobinson]

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

Nice boat! The planking looks good! Are you fitting out the interior, or installing her upside down?

[tomasg]

Nice boat, great technique.

[igorsr]

The interior will be the same like the exterior.

[igorsr]

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