wim500 Posted February 17, 2013 Share #33 Posted February 17, 2013 Well, help is not necessary anymore, you fixed it as smooth as possible. Don't forget that the real period ships were also not so smooth . msberkman 1 Quote Cheers,WimCurrent build: Creole Queen scratchbuild and Korean Turtle War Ship Finished: King of the Mississippi, Bon Retour, Chinese Pirate Junk, Nave EgiziaNext builds: Gundeck Vasa; Bounty (bashed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish Posted February 17, 2013 Share #34 Posted February 17, 2013 Looks like you did a good job fixing up those open spots on the bow, its amazing what glue and sandpaper can do, my best friends in this hobby Your ship looks great, you must have an older kit, the newer kits have most of the metals parts replaced with wood, such as the grates and ladders. -Aaron Quote “The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.” - Augustine Current Build: Artesania Latina San Francisco II 1:90 Scale On the Shelf: Model Shipways Armed Virginia Sloop 1:48 Scale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shazmira Posted February 19, 2013 Share #46 Posted February 19, 2013 Look at Vulcanbombers build log for her San Fran I, she built a new wooden rowboat because she did not like the metal one that came with the kit. You boat is coming along great!, Wood filler and sandpaper will make all those trouble spots fade away, not to mention that many will be covered by other things yet to be attached to the hull. fish 1 Quote Robbyn If you risk nothing, you risk everything!
