And the test piece's done. I just put some bee wax and wood stain on it. I wanted to see how does it look like, if i build it from pieces and than i paint it. (pic1: just some bee wax. pic2: wax and ebony wood stain. pic3: the errors). These errors dont disturb me because i gonna buy a laser cutter. What important is for me now, is the pic2. This surface is amazing, i see the joints and even a bit of the paper aswell. Looks like the original one. I was debating whether to paint it or leave it raw. But I like it better with paint. I think now that I will work with wood stain and wax. If you have any observations, please write them. And now back to the "drawing board".

Looking great Attila. You should experiment with mixing white wood glue and graphite from a lead pencil together.
Its a great technique for caulking and easier than black paper.

Small step, but finally i was able to start the building. I will write the next blog when the keel has done. You can read the previous ones here: https://dddscaleship.wordpress.com/

Wow what a jigsaw puzzle and looks so good, don't need the rest of the ship I would be very happy just to construct that.

Very accurate work - Well done my friend

 

[Tobias]

this looks very accurate

I had to learn another program for design. Unfortunately, the previous one was not good enough. But there you have it. 100 %. I hope to be able to show pictures of the construction in February. I didn't think it would be fast, but it would be nice...

I like the uniformity of the joints.

so you are proceding faster than expected - seems that the new software is working better for your needs

thank you Uwe yes. An architect friend recommended it, I just had to learn how to handle it. It is definitely much better for this purpose. I would have spared myself a lot of trouble if I had started with this. and also the frames are formed. Thanks for the conversation about them last time.
