Le Requin by Zhl - MY FIRST POF MODEL

[Alessandro63]

Sweep ports are done, now it's the turn of hinges. They will get me crazy, I already know...
Thereafter it will be time to clean and finish the hole side.

Looks great, Get the swear jar ready, if it goes anywhere like I remember doing mine!. If it helps you may find it easier to leave the gun port covers with the hinges off till much further down the line, I've knocked a couple off and bent a few hinges whilst working on other parts of the build Alessandro

I'm very interested in this. How did you find the ZHL instructions to be ? Easy to follow ? do they cover every step adequately ?

Well, they are in chineese language and have several mistakes, so you have to do your own work to fill the gaps. On the opposite the quality of materials is great.

I took a look at Lumberyard, they have wonderful kits and are cheaps too, but didn't find anything about plans and instructions: can you tell me more about them?

if you are interested in kits from The Lumberyard, direct your question to the owner of this portal Dave @Dave Stevens (Lumberyard). I am sure he will be glad to help you out.

Ok yes thanks

 

[Alessandro63]

So, one side is done, with the exception of the decorative panels. I will work on those after completing the other side too.

There was a mistake on the planking around the stern, I had to remove some courses and relocate them. Still have to finish the correction.

Good morning. Just marvellous. You are owning this Le Requin. Cheers Grant

 

[Alessandro63]

Thank you. Anyway as I was not that satisfied with the courses alignment, I decided remove and reposition them more accurately. The result will be much more better, you will see.
Have a good week end you all.

we see a beautiful model of a beautiful ship. The brass nails look gorgeous.

Thank you, then I'll make you see something that you did not see yet...

 

[Alessandro63]

The way it is now

 

[Alessandro63]

Also the other side of the hull is complete: I left it as naked as possible because I want to highlight the structure; on each side I realized different details so that you never see the same picture.

 

[Tony P]

Really nice work. I like the tone of the wood.

 

[Alessandro63]

- The decorative panels of the stern quarterdeck, already cleaned of carving residues;
- set of acrylic colors;
- micro brush 1/5 mm.
What will happen next?
Stay tuned...

 

[Alessandro63]

Voilà!

 

[GrantTyler]

Voilà!
