A greeting from the sanding and dusting hell. Now the number of components of the underwater hull is approching the upper half.
Now the bulkheads of the last level are still missing. When this is done the final fine sanding of the entire hull and a final cleaning of both the model and the workshop will follow.
But now I have to take a bath myself.
Best regards
Thomas
Hi Thomas, I appreciate your attention to detail and precision even when it will all be covered. Once again, I consider this a valuable lesson to be learned from you. My thanks.
The skeleton structure is looking a little bit strange, or better unusual, with these two horizontal layers.
But I am sure it is making the structure extremely stiff and accurate
Looking very good

@Uwek, I can personally affirm that such a construction method makes the skeleton accurate and very rigid. The first time, I have seen such a method on cardboard kits as the reinforcement (make sense).
I like Thomas's idea to reinforce the bulkheads and make a more surface for planking. looks well done, and makes a great foundation for planking. The planks are single-layer, so it will be hard to deal with mistakes (if any).

The last bulkhead reinforcements and additional bulkheads have been installed. The hull shape is clearly visible and the 1 mm thick planks now have a solid surface. Sanding was done exclusively with 120 und 150 grit sandpaper to prevent splitering of the plywood. A final sanding of the entire outside of the hull was done with grit 240.
Workshop and ship were cleaned and are ready for the next assembly work. Despite hand sanding, everything was dusty and it is wonderful to have an extra room for such work.
I wish everyone a nice weekend
Thomas
Such nice work Thomas!
Excellent fairing and shaping. Very nice technique on the fillers. Very clean framing.

Donnie!
At the moment I still have something to do with Covid. Today my father-in-law also died to old age and I have no time to model. It is a pity that I have nothing more positive to report.
Dont't worry, there will be peace again. I will be in touch.

wow. that is definitely good to know.
Just wondering. Is this a kit? If it is, is it fully rigged?
Thomas, I would like to extend my condoleances to you for the loss of your father-in-law. And I express the hope you recover fast from Covid and find time and energy again so you can enjoy our hobby again.
