Schooner Polotsk by etsinko - FINISHED - Master Korabel - 1:72
Hello everybody,
Some time ago I started building Master Korabel Schooner Polotsk kit but I was too lazy/busy to start a build log here. Finally I decided to go ahead and do it. I'll be posting more often until this build log catches up with the build's current state. I have been precisely following the instructions during the process so far and it has been a smooth ride.
1. I started with assembly of the ship's frame. The desing of this kit's frame is very interesting, it has a
SpyGlass,
The idea behind gluing with hot iron is that when you heat up PVA glue it melts and as soon as you stop applying heat it solidifies very quickly (~ 5 - 10 seconds). The benefit of this is that this can be repeated multiple times.
1. I dryfit the plank, make sure that it fits nicely where it supposed to go
2. I apply PVA glue (I'm using Weldbond white PVA glue) on the back side of plank and make sure to spread it with a toothpick so it covers the whole plank
