Here is my new build. It will be for one of my daughters. It looks like it is going to be a fun build. I will be working on it at the same time as my other project, the Confederacy :)

I think I am just going to build this one out of the box.

Some parts were warped so I had to put them under clamps20190120_172413.thumb.jpg.5a003498fb9537c7cc838c01fed3e45f.jpg

 

Started to put together the hull. It was pretty straight forward so far.

Long break. My garage is small and I had to reorganize my larger tools and all my scrap wood.  Here are a few pictures of the progress. Imagine the planer and drill press on the workbench. Impossible to lay out plans and various projects. 20190702_094436.thumb.jpg.446b436438c9460d141ddc03301c4f63.jpg20190604_220227.thumb.jpg.81735953f165dc2dd2189dbdc1d92770.jpg20190702_094455.thumb.jpg.f5113bbd71f994232ae466c71b304b1a.jpg

Now to the ship update. I worked on the keel and double planked it.

Fixed a mistake with the railing. I misread the plan and forgot to add a plank under the railings.

Better now. Moving to adding the bench support.

Continued to work on the front of the ship. I am trying to install everything needed before priming and painting the SHIP.

I also did a final Sanding of the Hull and removed all dust with mineral spirit. 

 

Working on the rudder.

Painting time. I did not capture all steps as I was caught up in the process. 

Primed all the model. Painted Hull black and inside blue.

After doing some research, the first part of the ship was red so I corrected that. 

 

After it all dried, I sprayed a coat of clear matte to protect the ship.

Worked on the shrouds by serving them, long and tedious process 🤪 then fasten the deadeyes.
