La Licorne 1:72 (Hachette)

[xander898]

Hello, here is a construction that I left aside for a while. This is "La Licorne" (inspired by Tintin) in 1:72 scale. Compared to other kits of this kind, this one is better quality, and the assembly instructions are very clear. I took it out of the attic to move on it.

I am very happy to see and follow your building log - a very interesting model, which is not often shown

Here comes the next step, the upper decks

Looks like a good kit, but I don't understand why some companies use MDF for their bulkheads. The dust is toxic when sanding it.

MDF is much cheaper than plywood... and more stable to climate changes specifically moisture (always flat like glass)

Hi there. I have a hard time choosing between these two colors of red. The top one is recommended by Hachette but I find it too dark. Normally the red is brighter on these ships? like the red of the board ? thank you

Hello, I continue the hull, and the internal paintings

Hi everyone, a little bit of progess with my Licorne, it's only the first planking, that's why it's not perfect ...

Hi , a little progress in the model. The planking of the hull is finished
