[sevish]

Hello everyone
I'm back on the table with a new small relaxation short project before my next big project build.
The Shallop of cap. John smith
So without further ado.
The start of the build with the first cradled and laying the keel.

The kit: no unboxing-forgot to take pictures


The cradle:


Later with the next update : the ribs

Cheers

It's coming along.
And the ribs are Super fragile.


And my test on painting the blocks to look more woody.
The blocks were changed feom wooden ones to 3d printed ones :







And last question ,
Dose anyone know how those blocks called?


I consider to change the blocks but couldn't find any considerable replacement for that block.

Cheers
Guy

Thanks,yeah the big builds are so demanding so this build is the perfect build to do between the harder builds.

Enjoy the build - it's a very nice kit, but with some (very few actually) tricky corners...

Cheers,

Good morning all,
The lay of the ribs has been finished, yay,.
This kit is super gentle and need extra carful when working on it and lots of adjustments on the cradle.



And the final result after extraction from the cradle.



Enjoy and have a great weekend of relaxation




Next update : the planking

Cheers
