Imperial yacht Uvalen by Falconet in 1:48 [COMPLETED BUILD]

[Frank48]

Ho appena provato - la posizione degli alberi è determinata dalla costruzione, puoi inserirli nell'unico modo possibile, con l'angolazione giusta. Però è un po' troppo presto per gli alberi

Giusta la Tua osservazione , mi sono permesso di solo ricordarti per evitare qualche problema dopo, tutto quì, certo che è presto per l'alberatura

Grazie! Ma conosco bene i modelli di Falconet, ne ho già costruito due, la loro ingegneria è buona.

For non-italian members - we talked about installation of the masts. I tried it, their position and angle are exactly determinated by the construction.

Per i membri non italiani - abbiamo parlato di installazione delle antenne. L'ho provato, la loro posizione e l'angolo sono esattamente determinati dalla costruzione.

mi devi scusare ma ,io non ho mai costruito un Kit

Well, let's start planking. The stepped frames and various marks are very useful - they help a lot to place the planks strictly in the right position. However, the process requires some patience and accuracy...

 

[Jimsky]

Great progress laying hull planks. It is obvious you take care and accuracy.

 

[Walterone]

The planking is ready. It took in all about 6 hours.

 

[Heinrich]

Excellent work with the planking.

 

[Namabiiru]

Beautiful. so much cleaner than mine.

 

[Uwek]

[Walterone]

Thank you friends!

Good evening Walterone, I ask, does this area of bow and stern end the planking smooth or clinker?

In this area it's still clinker, but it becomes flat at the ends.

Thanks for answering me

Nice planking job!

I really like Falkonet kits, the way they go about planking really helps make a nice model. Apparently they lost their supplier for pre-made sails though...

I found very good sails for Uvalen by a guy from the Russian shipmodeling.ru forum. I'll show them later.

That was the question I was struggling with as well. Some planks wanted to overlap and some wanted to lay flat.

Had I known WalterOne was about to kick off a build of the same thing, I would have followed him.
