Amazing and extremely superb craftsmanship!

[Amalio]

Thank you very much to all for your comments. I believe, that what important mas of this of the naval model-maker is the great adventure that he supposes. The quantity of new things that we are incorporating in every model. And now, a bit of philosophy: the aim the model can never be end, but enjoy his construction

Super-puper!!!

Fabulous. Nearing the moment you'll take her from the form. cannot wait to see how you do that!

[Nirvana]

Okay,

I must have lost my mind, either the modell is extremely large or the the tools are very small.

But the outcome  - well I wish I had some top words for this.

 

Just fantastic!

Beautiful work.

[kees de mol]

Your are really showing a mastpiece in the making. I like the build

[druxey]

Exceptional!

[Mike Y]

Impressive model!

Still trying to figure out how the mold would be disassembled.

Very nice wood as well!

[WackoWolf]

I agree with Mike, waiting to see how you take the mold out. Please post pictures, I know we all what to see how this is done.

[Amalio]

Hello to all. I want to ask you a bit of patience to be able to remove the mold. We have to hope that the exterior lining is finished. Now us this one being very useful because it is what gives strength to the whole set. When the exterior lining is put, the set that sera form the interior lining, the frames and the exterior lining a very occurred structure, and we will be able to extract the mold. At the moment it is helping us very much. Thank you very much to all. It is an honor for my that you follow the construction of this model.

Amalio,

 

Could you give an English translation followed by the Spanish text - or the other way around. Google translate doesn't do a particular good translation from time to time (not your fault but google's)

Dam, now that is beautifully. Still waiting to see how the mold comes out, now I am sure that will be amazing to see. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[druxey]

I'm also waiting to see how the hull turns out when you remove the mold! With this particular hull, do the angles at the upper and lower limits of maximum breadth stay there?

[Amalio]

[albert]

Wonderful work Amalio, bravo.

[michaelpsutton2]

The compound curves up to the counter a superbly articulated

[Kevin]

Wow , sorry i missed the start, just how do you get the frame wast the dummy lids

Kevin,

 

That amongst others is a question everybody has ... we are still full of anticipation ...

[Amalio]

[cog]

This poses only more questions ...

[dvm27]

His frames are constructed above, below and around the faux-port lids. They are used as templates to help frame the hull. The real question is how will the plug be extracted from the framed hull later on (as seen in the early photos)? The mysterious Amalio will  reveal all (hopefully)  in his own time.

[druxey]

Presumably the plug is in pieces and once a central 'keystone' is extracted the other parts will come out easily - provided nothing has been glued to them!

[Mike Y]

Or the plug is single-use and would be cut into pieces like frame centers in Chuck's longboat?

 

Very impressive fairing and keel slot. Looks so accurate as it is milled on the completed hull. Incredible precision!

[cog]

I could imagine he extracts the faux-ports, slides the rear of, slides the front of and slides one or more middle segments of, and puts them together over the keel again, creating a perfect hull, just some sanding let to do ...
