captgino Posted January 24, 2019 Share #1 Posted January 24, 2019 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.

captgino Posted July 2, 2019 Author Share #11 Posted July 2, 2019 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. Now to the ship update. I worked on the keel and double planked it. GrandpaPhil, yvesvidal, JayCub and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captgino Posted September 18, 2019 Author Share #17 Posted September 18, 2019 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. yvesvidal, BobG, JayCub and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
