The sail room is finished.
I have prepared some sails to fill the shelfs.
The sails I colored with some dilluted judea butumen.
On the other bulkhead I have made a rack.
For the rack I have made some ropes and a spare block.
So now the sail room is finished.
Wishing you all a great Christmas and healthy and sawdusty 2022.

Finally some time to start working on the ice cube.
First I covered the hull with foil as we are going to create a lot of dust . So the whole ship is wrapped and taped with masking tape.
Time to start sanding, and for you kitchen builders this is not something to do in your kitchen or you want to have a divorce.
I start sanding with 40 grit to get the block into shape, followed by 60, 80, 120, 240, 320, 400, 600, 800. Then waterproof 1000, 2000, 3000 and 4000.
With the course paper 40, 60, 80 and 120 I smoothen the block to remove air pockets etc.
I sand with a excentric sander of 125 mm.
The edges are rounded the top surface I leave as casted which gives a perfect water like surface.
Now on to the finer grits from 220 up to 800.
Between every sanding step I clean with water.
Next the sanding with water and grit 1000 up to 4000. After sanding this is the result.
It is still not clear and glass like so the next step is polishing followed by wax.
Now the finish is finished and we have a floating hull. For the first time I can dive bolow my own ship.
See the finished result, I now need to resand the keel and put on some shellack again.

OH MY WORD!!! I was waiting for this like a kid waiting for a Christmas present! Words fail me. Maarten, please look after yourself and your health so that you can thrill and excite us for many more years to come !!!
Wow! Concluding 2021 with a bang!
Thx gents for your comments and likes.
Today I am making traditional Dutch oliebollen, something we do every year before new year.
Again a happy 2022 and lets suprise each other with our builds.

Hi Maarten!
Congratulations on the water replica. Pouring the water around the ship model was very risky, up to the total loss of the ship by uncontrolled flow of resin into the ship. In the end everything went well and the final result looks excellent.
Bon appetite with the doughnuts and I wish you and the familie a happy new year.
Love regards
Thomas

Um...looks yummy and delicious, enjoy eating those aboard your Alert. Happy New Year and best of luck!
The water block is ingenious and unique! That's worth a few oliebollen.
Geniet van dit alles, Maarten.
Up to a nice 2022!

Hello Maarten, I adore your art of modelling - your half-water/half-nonwater hull (with ingredients) is great and looks astonishing. --
Ik zelf ben "half-dutchman/half-deutschman", geniet de oliebollen - wij noemen ze in Duitsland "Krapfen", in Amsterdam hebben wij vroeger ook wel eens "poffertjes" gehad.
Harteleijke groeten en prettig oud en nieuw (ik hoop, dat dit correct is), Fritz (schiffbaur)
