Daniel Filipe Posted June 22, 2021 Author Share #61 Posted June 22, 2021 @DrKThanks! after the first planking, I’ve used only sandpaper. A round tool with sandpaper is good for the curves.. I had to remove almost all the nails, because sanding with nails is not easy 😬 This is my first model ship, I don’t have all the knowledge about ship modeling, in this forum you have masters than can help you a lot, more than myself 😅 catopower and BobG 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schubbe Posted June 25, 2021 Share #63 Posted June 25, 2021 (edited) On 6/22/2021 at 7:54 PM, DrK said: 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? Hi DrK, I am building a different model, but to me the most useful tool was a broomstick piece with sanding paper glued around it. It worked perfekt in the stern/deadwood area. It's also quite inexpensive. And in the days of vacuum cleaners, who needs a broom... 😉 Edited June 25, 2021 by Schubbe Daniel Filipe and BobG 2 Quote My current build log: HMB Endeavour by Schubbe - OcCre - 1:54 - - Kit build logs for subjects built from 1751 - 1800 - Model Ship World™ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Filipe Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share #64 Posted June 25, 2021 Step 26 ✅ Made some mistakes before and now the bow is a bit different. But it’s fine, my second project will be better 🤞🏻 (Masts only for the photo) 😅 nehemiah and BobG 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Filipe Posted June 26, 2021 Author Share #65 Posted June 26, 2021 Hello, I’ve made the two frontal pieces from scratch because i sanded to much.. Anyways, they are not glued yet, still drying.. I like the result. Balsa is amazing to work with.. nehemiah, BobG and catopower 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Filipe Posted July 30, 2021 Author Share #75 Posted July 30, 2021 First knot ever made A simple one to start, took me more than 20 minutes to figure out that more knots would be needed before “closing” with the metallic peace. Anyway, very happy and proud. the second one was way easier 😅 BobG, Nirvana and GrandpaPhil 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Filipe Posted August 23, 2021 Author Share #77 Posted August 23, 2021 Well, time to post my recent work. I really don’t like the metal water pump, even knowing i need to paint the little thing with brown color.. I will do it myself with wood.. something more natural will look good 👍🏻 BranPie, BobG and GrandpaPhil 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Holt Posted September 29, 2021 Share #83 Posted September 29, 2021 Very nice - it's interesting to see how this model compares to the Artesania Latina Swift kit. Pretty similar model though some different deck furniture.
