Ready for planking. The piece of plywood down there is a template for positioning of the first plank.
Launch of the ship "Twelve Apostles" in 1:48, Master Korabel [COMPLETED BUILD]
This looks really good, Vladimir.
The idea with all the tools speaks for this kit to get really nice results.

Hi Vladimir
I can't wait to see the result of this structure system

The first plank is the most difficult to install. First, because all the other planking depends on it. Second, because the glue must be applied only on the tight zone marked by laser:
The template helps a lot here.
Well, now I take a little break to celebrate the New Year. Happy 2023 to everybody!

Happy new year
Back to work.
Usually I heat the planks with a soldering iron to make the glue set more quickly. First I thought this method would be too risky for the plastic jig - but no, it resists perfectly to the heating. It's enough to be careful and to avoid a direct contact between the iron and the jig. However, it's better to give shape to any plank before glueing, so the process takes a bit longer.

The planking is ready, we can take the hull off the jig.

Very clean and good job. This plastic jig is fantastic thing.
Starting the inner structure.
That is looking beautifull Walterone
Good morning Vladimir. You are incredibly talented. That is Beautiful! Cheers Grant
Thank you Grant, you flatter me
First of all, it's a well-designed and well-manufactured kit.The washboards are rich of detail. I added even more (I mean the longer tholes, "passing" through the bulwark), but it seems to be incorrect.
Very good quality - clean and accurate work
The keel is assembled and takes its place. The hull will be painted, so I don't care about little imperfections.
