I'm building a famous ship that has already been modeled many times. The 22110-N Swift kit is the cheapest intro line-up of the Artesania Latina. It is a two-masted schooner with simplified details, and has been renewed several times for 50 years. There are tons of American schooner kits with better details in the market.

 

This post won't be a tutorial-like build log. I'm studying my building technique. I hope you skim my post quickly, and I'll be much obliged if you find any interesting point.

Plank battens

 

This is a small ship. :)

I can't believe it! Based on your previous build logs and the expert skills you have demonstrated, you should have gained experience with many kits and met good friends. I'm checking every corner when I turn and polishing my tech one by one. :) I wish I'll be at the level someday.

I filled all the large gaps before I applied a wood filler.

After I finished planking, I removed all the plank battens.

The next step is a deck installation.

I warped the deck using a mini iron. The mini iron is really useful! It's over 300 W!

Also, I'm studying about varnish. I want to make a clean and smooth surface, like a plastic model project. Is it time to abandon my favorite shellac?
