rony Posted June 24, 2017 Share #1 Posted June 24, 2017 Hi! I upload pictures of my construction, unfortunately I was not so successful building the wooden poles of the ship's body, see a picture of the front. I'll fix it by adding some pieces of wood.

rony Posted June 24, 2017 Author Share #2 Posted June 24, 2017 111/5000 I do not know how you stick the rods out so precisely, I served hot rods in the hot water and it was hard to paste them with precision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGraham Posted July 4, 2017 Share #8 Posted July 4, 2017 Hi Rony, You're doing a fine job. You got the planking very smooth and fair. I'm impressed. I believe the second layer of planking you asked about in your last photo is mahogany. Beautiful wood! Keep the photos coming.

src Posted July 4, 2017 Share #10 Posted July 4, 2017 Rony, Steve is spot on, that wood is some kind of mahogany. Your hull looks good. looks ready for the second layer. You can get the sheen up with oils like your danish oil with some elbow grease. It takes several applications and rubbing out between coats. One coat wont do it.

SGraham Posted July 5, 2017 Share #12 Posted July 5, 2017 Rony, Your planking looks very smooth. Did your kit come with a bundle of very thin, darker brown strips of wood? I think that's why the wood on your model isn't looking like the wood in post #7. The model in that photo has the same wood as yours, but it also has a second layer of mahogany planks applied over the first layer. The mahogany planks are paper-thin; in fact, you can cut them easily with scissors. Those mahogany planks will look just the photo #7 when you apply the Danish oil to them. My apologies if you knew this already. Hope this helps.

rony Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share #13 Posted July 5, 2017 Yes I know that, thank you very much.I have now reached the stage of pasting the thin wooden plates that you can cut with scissors.Should I paste them with the glue I took in this thread? src 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGraham Posted July 5, 2017 Share #14 Posted July 5, 2017 Hi Rony, I think the Elmers wood glue you've been using should be fine. Someone who knows more might want to chime in here...

rony Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share #15 Posted July 5, 2017 good eveningThe nails are really not good for the shingling of the tree. It was very hard for them to do sanding.I think it would be better not to screw them all the way out, and after drying the glue to get them out. coxswain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGraham Posted July 7, 2017 Share #19 Posted July 7, 2017 Beautiful work, Rony. I especially like how the Danish oil looks on the hatch and hatch covers. The contrast in the wood colors is quite striking.
