just a question, how thick is the carrier copper tape you have chosen ?  (without paperback, without glue film)

I have to agree that the copper hull is almost too nice to paint.

thanks for likes and coments

 

its no returns regarding painting the hull... its dunn😉 but not finish, 

there are 2 cote of primer then i used 2 cote of nato black matt, as an under cote for the finish cote.

its going to be a little blacker and more glossy then it is now, am saving that for later,

i also pre drilled the hole for the portholes , it wil be larger then it is now (6mm when install)

the construction of the main dekk cabin is on its way , for this i use evegreen styro yust the main dekk cabin, 

wood vil be used for the topp dekk construction.

at the rear you can se the 2 sleeping quaters and a sallon and the doors opening .

later i wil glue some wood panels etc on the wall, beds ,table etc....

at the aft i wil do the same.

the hole construction is loos and not glued on the ship.

i markt the windows , doors etc so i need to take this out to.

the main dekk construction wil get simulated rivvits using the same metod i did with the hull (thats because this part was made of steel plates.

the topp dekk was wood.

hi, thanks for the comments Vlad and Brian☺

Vlad  am doing some work on it now and i yust get the propell for this so i wil soon get this onboard with some new update!

 

Brian : the wood filler i used is yust basswood but it is harder and  then the light type, 

i think its because it has been havest in a different way...

the light ome is very soft .

its a slow going job....

but the outlets are made, just need to get the anker howser on. The splash guard is also glued on.

the reilings are made and glued on and painted one time and need to be sanded and painted many more times,

i also painted the lower cabin black and white  but i need to get som work dunn her due to some over spray 😲,wel there is so many crinkle here so i espect it to happens!

my next task will be the propell etc so i can turn it paint it and last paint the lower hull then maby i can turn it again for the last time😉

Very nice rudder, Erik. What is the function of the wooden beams at both sides of the rudder?

hi... wel... i mad  the rudder from photo because there is not a plan for this , 

after i finish it i was in contakt with chip calamoaro from Arizona 

the wood on the rudder is a little to short , i can see in the bad poto that this is fastend to the stem and used to secure the rudder when the ship was buidt.

so i can do it ether way yust for the detajl , i only have to make the wood longer so it can be fixt to the stem or re make it with out 

this detajl . i yust find a photo of this to .
