Солей Рояль - Soleil Royal

Sanding the wooden hull of a ship model is an important step that ensures the smoothness of the surface and prepares it for further finishing.
Tools and materials have been prepared.
I picked up sandpaper of different grain sizes (from coarse to fine).
I have prepared the grinding machines and will use the manual method using wooden bars.
I have prepared protective glasses and a mask to avoid dust getting into my eyes and respiratory tract.
I started sanding with coarse-grained sandpaper.
I removed all the irregularities, burrs and rough defects on the surface of the case.
I worked in one direction to avoid unnecessary scratches.
I picked up an acrylic putty suitable for use on wood. It has good adhesion to wood, is easy to grind and provides a durable coating.

Сегодня я продолжаю работу над моделью корабля Soley Royal и перехожу к полировке корпуса. Шлифовка позволяет сгладить поверхность, удалить неровности и подготовить её к финишной обработке.
