Lapinas Posted December 22, 2025 Author #49 Posted December 22, 2025 Update Scott Crouse and PaddyO 2
Lapinas Posted December 22, 2025 Author #50 Posted December 22, 2025 Added main and upper wales. Some rail fittings. Unfortunately I made a mistake and I have used 1x3mm walnut strip for upper wale, but you are supposed to use 1x2mm walnut strip for upper wale. Scott Crouse, ccoyle and JacquesCousteau 3
Lapinas Posted December 28, 2025 Author #51 Posted December 28, 2025 Glued in the “gun” posts. I have decided to make them out of 3x3mm strip. It is easier to cut it, than sand these laser cut parts no 29. Also that laser cut wood is prone to splitting. Gun posts still need some sanding though. Will wait until the next day when the glue is fully dried up. Scott Crouse and JacquesCousteau 2
Lapinas Posted December 28, 2025 Author #52 Posted December 28, 2025 Made some furniture. Same advise as before - where possible it is best to replace laser cut parts with custom ones. Metal parts are not glued yet. Will be painting it black later. JacquesCousteau 1
Lapinas Posted December 28, 2025 Author #53 Posted December 28, 2025 My ship has a rudder! Metal parts (where applicable) will be painted black later. JacquesCousteau 1
Lapinas Posted December 28, 2025 Author #54 Posted December 28, 2025 Got impatient and sanded small cannon posts today. Also drilled holes in every post too. Also sanded some casting process marks from small canons and did a test fit JacquesCousteau and ccoyle 2
Lapinas Posted December 28, 2025 Author #55 Posted December 28, 2025 Pedestal is a bit too wide for the ship keel. Will have to figure out how to mount it properly… Scott Crouse and JacquesCousteau 2
Lapinas Posted January 3 Author #57 Posted January 3 Dry fitted these parts JacquesCousteau and Scott Crouse 2
Lapinas Posted January 3 Author #58 Posted January 3 And made all the masts. I have used hand plane + drill to shape them. I definitely need to buy a set of small hand planes 😅 JacquesCousteau, Craigie65 and Scott Crouse 3
Lapinas Posted January 4 Author #60 Posted January 4 Added nails to rudder Scott Crouse and JacquesCousteau 2
