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.

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.

[HIPEXEC]

This is exactly what my first build looked like. Just keep swinging.

Pulling up a chair, this looks like fun. Keep posting pictures Rony.

good evening
I end up sticking all the rods to the body including sanding, I have more work with the shingling.  

 

 

 

 

[rony]

Good Morning
I upload pictures of the end of the sanding, hope it is enough.

 

 

 

[rony]

What kind of material is that brilliant?

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.

Thank you
I bought it in Israel, but unfortunately it does not give the effect of the picture i uploaded.

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.

hii
More progress on the model.

[SGraham]

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.

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?

 

[SGraham]

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...

good evening
The 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.

[rony]

good evening
I finished Polishing the ship , hoping it was enough.

[rony]

Good afternoon
More progress in the model and coating with tung oil

[rony]

[SGraham]

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.

[rony]

Thank you
I try to do a good job of making the model look very natural.

Good afternoon
I upload pictures of the cannon construction

[SGraham]

Great looking gun, Rony. The carriage and the slide look very nice with the oil finish. You're doing a fine job. 

 

Steve

[rony]

Thank you .
Next stage is already the adhesion of the second stage of mahogany wood coatings, hoping he succeeded.

[rony]

good evening
I started to paste the second part of the mahogany wood plates today. I paste the wooden plates in short pieces so that it is easier to be precise in the paste.

[SGraham]

Looking wonderful, Rony! Keep it up.

 

Steve

[rony]

Good afternoon
I would be happy for the help of gluing of mahogany wood plates the remaining part

[rony]

Shabbat Shalom
More progress in the adhesion of mahogany wood plates.
