Photo 260: 2nd planking is finished. Now the hull is ready for preparing to remove the jigs and its parts before sanding.

I used UHU Hart glue and spots of super glue for securing quickly at the ends.

Removing jigs and nubs which are not needed anymore.

Hull is now ready for sanding. Engravings covered with masking tape to prevent accidental sanding.
By the way this brings me to step 185 in the instructions.

Photos 263-266: Preparing to smoothen below the waterline. I used diluted Liberon Natural Wood Filler applied with a brush. This is now the first round, waiting for the filler to dry before fine sanding. Waterline marker is from Hobbyzone.

Build Day 31: 1hr / Total 62 hours 

 

After sanding, one layer of wood filling looks good enough to me. I prefer the wood plank patterns exposing a little under the paint than having a perfectly smooth painted hull. To me it gives a more handmade look than ready made hull. It is a question of taste.


Photos 267-269: Main whale patterns soaked in hot water for 30mins and pinned temporarily in place to dry and get the shape. These are thicker than the parts we did the same procedure earlier (1mm vs 0.8mm) therefore 30 mins is the minimum you should keep them in water. It was enough to soak only the front section where it will bend. Now it will rest at least 24 hours.

Several photos showing the progress of Quarter Gallery windows installation. Here there is quite a bit of rasping and bevelling of the parts. It mostly went smoothly but at some parts I used wood filler to achieve smooth transition. At this stage sanding is not complete yet. Most of this section will remain under paint and decoration.

 

Photo 283: Bevelling of the roof part.

Photo 291: A waterline can be painted in any color, as long as it is black 😆.

Well, I thought over this a lot and finally chose black instead of white. As I wrote earlier I like slightly visible planking patterns rather than a completely smooth surface, as it gives a more hand made like look. In my opinion black would suit better than white in this case. I am happy with the result.

Build day 34: 2hrs / Total 69 hours

Today I spent roughly 2 hours on preparing rail patterns. These are among the most delicate and fragile parts.

 

Photos 292-293: Sheer and Waist Rail patterns, removed, soaked (for 20 mins) and pegged on location, waiting to dry for at least 24 hours. As instructed, I used scrap planking strips to apply even pressure and prevent from being damaged.

While they are drying, I prepare the other ones (that need no prior bending). I used my Dspiae sanding stick to remove laser char as good as I can, focusing mainly on more visible areas. I also use clamps to help strengthen against sanding stick strokes. 

 

Photo 294: Parts carefully removed from the wooden sheet.

Today I spent about 4 hours on
- masking and aligning the rails,
- varnishing the hull,
- painting,
- gluing the rails.


Photo 298: Sliced approx. 2mm wide strips from my masking tape for covering the areas where the rails will sit, to prevent from varnish.

Build day 37: 2hrs / Total 78 hours

Rudder ready and installed in place. Also glued the horseshoe and fishplates in their places. I don't have a copper color so I chose a Vallejo Old Gold which was available in my paint box. It is a bit more on the red spectrum and looks good enough for copper on small surfaces such as these ones.
