Knocklouder Posted January 31, 2023 Share #1 Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) Hello, I got this model for Christmas, stocking stuffer. Actually I got two this one and a Viking Iron star 1:100 scale but I think it's smaller lol. No glue, just needle nose pliers and side cutter. Which I thought would be different no glue , deadeyes , sails or BOTTLE LOL. You get two sheets of metal to take the peices off. After studying the plan a bit , it looked like I just had to follow along number by number..It shows you were to twist it on and were to fold the little tabs at a 90 degree angle. So away I go. First this is not a metal model it's tin foil lol. And did I mention tiny. Lol. After five pieces the deck and rigging were done . I used a paper towel tube to form the hull and snaped it on and called it a night. So I will finish tomorrow . This is a fun one lol Edited March 18, 2023 by Knocklouder Typo of course GrandpaPhil, Ryland Craze, Paul Le Wol and 3 others 6 Quote Start so you can Finish !!

Knocklouder Posted January 31, 2023 Author Share #2 Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) That was yesterday today I took it out of the box went to work. Not sure if I got the scale is right, can't find it on the box. After the deck go's on it was the sails.10 minutes and the first two mast had sails on. Then I added all the sails. Moving along to the side balconies then the rear of the ship. Then all the lanterns and I found these little Birch Bark cut off I had laying around A couple coats of shellac done. It was quick , easy and fun. Not going to put it in the gallery though lol. But I am going to give this one to my daughter in-law for her birthday. And the Viking Iron star to my oldest son , which will have a different base. Ok this one is Finish lol on to the next 🤣 😂 Edited February 1, 2023 by Knocklouder Ryland Craze, 72Nova, Paul Le Wol and 7 others 10 Quote Start so you can Finish !!
