Thanx, this my first kit....You are doing a fantastic job! This is going to be a very nice ship.
Second planking is finished, Sapeli is so poorly cut, the edges shake a lot !!!
What did you use for filling small gaps on the second layer? I am having a hard time finding a good colour match to my Amati walnut planking.
I didn't fill in the second layer of planking. I really carved even the smallest pieces of Sapeli and filled even the smallest holes.What did you use for filling small gaps on the second layer? I am having a hard time finding a good colour match to my Amati walnut planking
I used sapelli on the hull plating and the others are mostly Ramin or plywood stained with brown mahoganyExcellent finish of the veneer. I was given an incomplete Artesania Latina "Botter" kit and use the veneer strips within for many projects.
Thanks for the updates!
FWFS,
This ship became famous for having the famous scientist Charles Darwin on board on the second voyage.The deck looking very busy with guns and all furniture. The question I have, however, is there any reason your artillery (cannons) are not facing the gun ports?
