beautiful work with the carvings - amazing quality
also the cabinet is looking very good and will fit into the main cabin of the model
Is it you on the photo? together with your sister? Hope all are well .....

This element was tough. When we were bending it, we broke it several times in many places. Ufff

 

[Alex T]

OK, first golden elements go to their places. Glue: UHA hard. It was the only one to glue the elements to the blue paint.

The first inner wall installed. Now it started to get shape


Now we add the other walls and toilets

Dear @Maarten and @neptune , do I really have to put these dark planks (which change their width) on the roof of the main cabin (element #12 on the pic)??? Looks strange

 

[Alex T]

Laying the parquet of the main cabin. The master decided to do this on a sheet of paper separately from the ship, so that it would be easier to process.
Here is the result


Now sanding

And oiling

 

[Alex T]

I'm not sure putting in a carpet was a good idea. And I'm not sure that this French parquet looks good. Any comments?

Hi Alex,

Hi Alex,

Yes according to the manual.

so, shall we use regular deck planks?

 

[Maarten]

so, shall we use regular deck planks?

Depending on what you used for the other decks.
Off course you can use them if you want to.
But I will use the same type of wood for all my decks.

Here's a Hi Definition Scan that maybe you can use showing the Masts Angle.

We paused the project again, as my father had to return to Mordor due to visa limitations in NL.
This time it was not so great, as I was totally unavailable and without my management support he could not do much. But he did his best.
Probably it will be easier next time, when the war is over, as it takes all my energy at the moment.
To be continued....

Hi Alex,

I like your ship lengthening summary. In hindsight, would you change anything? Look at what showed up on my doorstep

Respectfully,
