Start working on a ship boat...

The instructions are fairly acceptable but few extra pictures will be beneficial. Particularly in the way how to make sure you can remove the frames easily from the jig.
The frames must be easily get on and off the jig; learned the hard way and broke one frame.. managed to fix it.
Everything you need to build the boat is included in one ziplock-type bag; very interesting... but the frames and other parts are very tiny and prone to breakage..
Keel removed and assembled...
Continue with a work today.
Happy modeling.

Hi Moreplovac, I hope you didn't glue parts 2R and 2L to the keel (step #1) as they have to be faired first (red line). Most-likely the instruction written in Russian,

Just strew the shrapnel across the deck, et voila, BATTLE SCENE!During this process, accident could happen... pressing to hard with a scalpel holder and snap...
These are lovely to build, very fragile but the end result is fantastic. Build two of them for my Friesland.
And psssst, dont sneeze otherwise you can look for your parts all over the room.

Not just all over the room but on the floor as well
Lost few eyebolts already... just snap and fly...
While still waiting for ropes to arrive, the work on ship boat continues..
The frames were removed with a little help of a ammonium, and jig was cleaned by sanding it all around. And yes, did i mention these parts are fragile...
Particular attention and caution should be applied when cutting parts of the board. Very tiny parts....
Did i mention parts are fragile!
Boards are soaked for easy manipulation. They need just a little twist to be able to lay down correctly. They might break dough...

I would go with the same technique you have mentioned but also like to see how this goes. And this kit is kind of a plus version with boat included so might as well try it..
Cheers
Well, planking time it is...
Getting ready for planking, ribs are all glued and installed, brief hull sanding, and lets get it done..
First plank... cut it, sanded and dipped in the water for easy twisting.. i started with super glue..
For first two ribs, i use super glue so i don't have to keep pressing longer. For all other ribs (frames) i use carpenter's glue to glue plank. It takes a bit longer to dry but have a bit more time to adjust the plank. All excess glue needs to be removed before dropping a plank in the place.
Work continues tomorrow.

Nothing exciting to report.
Planking was completed on the boat. A bit of a planking touch up is still needed, final touches with scraping and sanding... a layer of danish oil will be applied at the end... The planks are well cut and do not require much of effort to be installed.

Planking has been completed...
... some scrapping and sanding done to smooth the planks.
Some of those ribs have been broken during the sanding process..
Now it is time to remove the jig from the boat... carefully breaking it..
And done, the jig was removed..
During the breaking process, one of the ribs, the last one broke. Even doung it will not be visible, need a fix. Out of the some cut piece, i made a replacement. Bit of sanding, filing, testing, fitting....
and all is good again..
Rest of the ribs were installed. First a short water bath, gentle twist and installation in the spot.
There are some glue left particles that will be visible so i need to remove them once all ribs are in place.

@moreplovac I don't know it you have seen my previous message, but in youtube, searching by master korabel phoenix you will find a 25part tutorial about phoenix. It is russian but I think it is very detailed and very helpful.
