Hello folks.

I'm starting today mu new model ship Le Pourquoi Pas? from Constructo.

It is another unrealized child's dream. I had this model in good scale in plastic when I was a kid. And instead of doing it I just ruined it

So now it is sort of revenge

 

Will see what it will become.....

Planking started. First 4 rows of beech wood in place.

Hi,

 

I am also doing the same model. Yours is much neater though. Great job. What varnish / paint should we use on the hull?

Hi! Thank you guys! 

 

Sab I use Varathane diamond wood finish water based. But honestly, I'm not completely satisfied with result on the decoration. On planks it is good but on veneer not so much. As for paint I have no idea, my wife gave me some white acrylic paint that she had... I don't like to paint wooden models (I'm not good at painting)

 

MadDogMcQ I'm on disability at home, instead of going to work I do model ships.
