Hello dear friends
Today I started the new Alert project.
first I read some of the blogs, and they were very helpful.
In the first step I completed the numbering of the parts in two boards out of the five components of the jig, not numbered. after that I started in the first phase of the jig building, I attaching a few pictures of the construction stages.View attachment 273914

I have a few comments on the kit:
The kit does look promising and invested. Removing the parts from the jig boards is relatively easy, The difficulty is in connecting the different parts into each other. It does not go in smooth and requires effort and even widening the holes and since it is made of compressed cardboard it may even tear, see the picture

. I was able to catch up with the other parts and widtha glue.
Unfortunately I discovered that one part of the kit came damaged - a pear wood panel came out damaged as a kind of natural of the wood and no quality control was performed.

I would love to get a replacement board from the manufacturer.
I very much hope to enjoy this beautiful model, I would love to receive comments from your experience.:)
Good night friends

Sometimes I tell myself when I will have the privilege to meet the good friends from our amazing forum.
I know that we are scattered around the world, which is almost impossible, so I am toying with the idea of a trip around the world in which I visit and meet all those who would like to, even if for a few hours over a glass of wine or a beer and learn from each other and deepen the personal acquaintance.
It was excellent as part of the conference in Augsburg, Germany, where I met charming and amazing people in their extraordinary abilities. Perhaps in preparation for retirement in a few years I will try to advance the idea into action even if partially:)

good evening dear friends
Today I started working on the Square tuck/back of the stern.
First I created a decorative edge and later I installed the wooden panels at the required angle. Unlike the ship's book (Anatomy of the Ship) where 7 wooden panels are shown, I have 13.
I then marked the nails and applied Tung oil.
Good night everyone :)
