[Elijah]

I've started cutting the planks for the deck

[Elijah]

Once I'm done cutting the planks ill glue them to the deck. Is that a good idea? I don't know I'm new.

[Ian B]

Hi, I shall follow you with interest as it looks a very good size for displaying. Some of the models on here really do need some serious room!, there are a few Bounty's being built on here of various kits and scales so plenty of inspiration for you.

 

Good luck with the build Ian

[Elijah]

I'm going to use planks about this size.

[M. Pajulahti]

You better fill that center cut for the keel and make your own cut there. I don't understand why italian kit producers make those ready-made cuts and holes etc when nothing isn't where they should be.

Better to use thinner planks for the deck. That scale is very challenging, i believe. But you're off to a good start, keep it coming.

I just started glueing the planks to the deck. I never knew this was so much fun!

[Elijah]

Getting close to the mast hole.

[Elijah]

The mast holes are a bit off centre as well, I have a drill I could make new holes but should I fill the holes with something else besides wood or should I use the idea of filling it with a wood cilinder and wood glue.

[Elijah]

All the cut marks are slightly to far to the right

[Elijah]

Well the foremast hole looks fine

[Elijah]

Not the mizzenmast or mainmast holes though.

[M. Pajulahti]

Hey Elijah, you should draw a centerline to the deck so you know you're glueing the planks straight!

Markku

[Elijah]

Good idea thanks ill do that!

[Elijah]

Like this?

[Elijah]

Next time ill remember to get a non solid hull without pre drilled holes.

[Elijah]

Making progress...

[Elijah]

I'm about to add a new picture.
