Daniel Filipe Posted March 19, 2021 Author #31 Posted March 19, 2021 Thanks! I had experience before with plastic models but nothing compared with wood model ships. I’ve bought some tools, nothing expensive, at local stores.. Glue, sandpaper, basic stuff.. I really recommend to start this hobby. Any question you have just ask and someone gives you an advice. I started a build log here because I wanted to document everything, things I did wrong, bad materials, products.. Enjoy! Regarding the buccaneer, I’m planning to buy the San Juan from occre instead. Similar to Polaris, etc. 👍🏻👍🏻 BobG 1 Quote
Daniel Filipe Posted March 24, 2021 Author #32 Posted March 24, 2021 Week progress. Next step: cutting excess at the stern and start planking at the bottom. BranPie and BobG 2 Quote
Daniel Filipe Posted April 4, 2021 Author #33 Posted April 4, 2021 Hello, hope you’re having a good day today. Showing some progress after almost 2 weeks. BobG and BranPie 2 Quote
Daniel Filipe Posted April 17, 2021 Author #34 Posted April 17, 2021 Hello everyone! After some days, (when possible), I’ve started sanding the nails and the wood. BobG and catopower 2 Quote
BranPie Posted April 17, 2021 #35 Posted April 17, 2021 You're getting along nicely. We're at about the same stage now, though I started quite a bit before you. I don't mind, this way I'll have another build log to check on during my build You're model looks nice. I would take away some more material at the stern where you have to fit the stern post. If you keep it like this, it'll look a bit strange, I think. BobG and Daniel Filipe 2 Quote Cheers, Pieter Current build: Polaris (OcCre, 1:50)
Daniel Filipe Posted April 17, 2021 Author #36 Posted April 17, 2021 @BranPie Yes, Thanks, the stern is not fully sanded, just half. It will require more attention. Or maybe the pictures don’t have the best angles 😅 BranPie 1 Quote
Daniel Filipe Posted April 19, 2021 Author #37 Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) Hello, new update. @BranPie I didn’t know what sternpost was 😅 I thing it’s good now. I removed all the nails next to the sternpost, it was the best thing i did. Now i understand why some people just use the nails to secure the strips in place. I need to glue the bulwarks at the back. Not finished sanding yet. Step by step 🤞🏻 Edited April 19, 2021 by Daniel Filipe catopower, BranPie, BobG and 1 other 4 Quote
BobG Posted April 19, 2021 #38 Posted April 19, 2021 I just got caught up with your build log, Daniel, and you are doing a great job especially considering that this is your first wooden ship model.

Daniel Filipe Posted April 19, 2021 Author #39 Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) Thanks @BobG! This forum and the YouTube videos help me a lot. The Occre instructions are very helpful as well, for a beginner like me. 😅 Edited April 19, 2021 by Daniel Filipe Quote

Have you read through Havelocks Polaris log? It's really very good for us first-timers. Daniel Filipe 1 Quote Cheers, Pieter Current build: Polaris (OcCre, 1:50)

Daniel Filipe Posted May 3, 2021 Author #47 Posted May 3, 2021 @BranPie thanks. Next step, planking the hull. Lets see how it goes 🤞🏻 Quote
Nirvana Posted May 3, 2021 #48 Posted May 3, 2021 Daniel, that planking is spot on, perfect lineup. With that perfect first layer, the second will fit without any modification.

BranPie Posted May 27, 2021 #54 Posted May 27, 2021 Looking good! My Polaris has - for now - come to a complete standstill. Work (and other things) have been too much lately, so come the evening I just can't muster up the strength to work on my ship. Seeing your second planking go on is really triggering my will to get started on mine though! 👍 Quote Cheers, Pieter Current build: Polaris (OcCre, 1:50)
Daniel Filipe Posted May 28, 2021 Author #55 Posted May 28, 2021 @BranPie i know what it feels like, it happens with me sometimes. After work, I arrive at home tired, wanting to relax/sleep. And the ship is the last thing i do after my duties.. that’s why i do little steps at a time. Let’s get started! I’m also publishing my work on the Occre page on Facebook so it helps as well.

DrK Posted June 22, 2021 #60 Posted June 22, 2021 Incredible work! I'm also doing the Polaris, though I'm a bit behind you (I'm halfway through planking). Looking forward to following your progress. Perhaps a simple question, but any tips for sanding the hull after first planking? Any inexpensive tools that were helpful? Quote
