Sigbjørn Posted March 5 Share #1 Posted March 5 (edited) First I want to say that the text that is posted here has been run through Google Translate, so it is possible that there will be some mistakes, but you have to be patient😏 I am a 45-year-old man from Norway. I have a partner and have two daughters❤️. I have worked a lot with plastic construction kits, but in recent years have switched to wooden boats and wooden models, which I really like. I am an amateur and learn every single day. Working with model ships is my therapy. I really relax when I have projects like this, while at the same time I have an inner stress that chases after completion. My latest project, Soleil Royal, is a test of taking it easy, of taking time. There will probably be some pictures, videos and a log in the future on it if I figure out how to create a build log.... Anyone? Edited March 5 by Sigbjørn Baker, mtaylor, KevinR and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigbjørn Posted March 6 Author Share #9 Posted March 6 VID_20240304_175645.mp4 Can first post pictures of a jig that I made myself. I work with assembly and service of aids (wheelchairs ++++) and we have a lot of oddities in our warehouse. Some time ago we had a bedside table that was just to be thrown away. It had some features that I quickly saw could be useful in terms of boat building. I removed the tabletop itself (which was broken) and mounted it on a narrower piece of wood. This is a nice tool where you can turn and turn around a horizontal axis, as well as height adjustment. Only imagination and creativity set limits.

Sigbjørn Posted March 6 Author Share #10 Posted March 6 I would like to have some light in the windows at the back of the boat, but am struggling a bit to find a good solution. I am considering putting LED strips in the boat as I also get some light in the gun hatches. But there must not be bright light. Does anyone have any good ideas?

mtaylor Posted March 6 Share #12 Posted March 6 Looking good on the early work. I suggest you open a build log from here on out instead of this area.
