First ever sailship…. Lets see how this goes.

You're off to a great start.

 

[Hummervoll]

Planning to do a good push through x-mas to close the hull. I’ve got some issues with finding the correct color for some of the details but it will solve it selves I belive

Thank you for sharing your first build with us, If you type the name of your ship in the Search Block, I am sure you will find previous build logs and some ideas about color combinations and the like. The replica ship should also be a great help.

 

[Uwek]

you are on a very good way - Have fun and post here about your progress as much as often - we are interested and love to see photos

excellent work , good luck mate

 

[Hummervoll]

Whole lot of clamps…. Need to get some CA glue tomorrow… too much of a waiting game pr. plank….

 

[Hummervoll]

Coming together! Found a nice quick non toxic glue

 

[Hummervoll]

Gap on both sides is getting smaller. Looks straigth on both sides. Will be needing some filler on the hull either way but what to use as litle as possible

 

[Hummervoll]

So….. have planked 99,43% of the hull now. Started to do just a rough sanding with 80grit just to see how it turned out

Is it double planked or a single planked kit?
If double .......
definitely you reached an important point - the fun can start (after the sanding)

It’s a single planked kit. So in accordance with instructions it needs som filler and then its into paint Looking forward into all of the smaller bits and pieces to be manufactured in near future

BTW: How is your progress on the Hermione going?
Are you still working on this model? So maybe you could make an update of your log...... would be great
