Nikitin San Bartolome 1584 A.D. (Kit #35)

[Pavel Nikitin]

@Pavel Nikitin
I think my kit boxes are missing flat #35 with these parts as shown on page 94 of the instructions.

Also this flat is miss labeled on plan #95. The plan shows the roof planks for the Pilot house on flat #36 versus the actual pieces located on flat #40.

The parts you need are on plate 34. Plate 34 is in Box 2, Pack 18. And of course you have it in the kit, just look carefully at the contents of the kit.

My apologies, I found the flat with the parts earlier today and didn't have time to get back to my post to do a proper edit to let you know that my problem was solved.

Thank you for your prompt reply. Just to let you know, I'm having a grand time building your kit.

Okie-Dokie.

We are back in the shipyard working on the “Doghouse/Pilot House”

Step #1 - The Frame.



Step #2 - Placing and gluing the roof planks.



Step #3 - The painting (Yup I just don’t like to paint)




The workbench lighting isn’t the best. Three coats of “Oak”, sanded with 400 grit between coats and then two coats of rattle can Poly Satin Finish.

Got the from the Admiral so we are good to go for the next build step.

Yup, she is my best critic. That little bit of construction took some time between the fitting, sanding, filing, gluing and painting.

Helmport Assembly

This little piece of the big puzzle proved very interesting to assemble.




Not many pieces, but a lot of filing and sanding to get the right shape.

Very clever idea y the manufacturer
And good executed

Hi Uwek,

I think the engineering that went into this kit is incredible. Pavel’s build videos are great tutorials also.

 

[Pathfinder65]

More bits and pieces ready to paint and glue in place.

Latrine Lining



The red circle is a build step. The Latrine Bulkhead has to be recessed into the back portion of this support beam.



The dry fit. There are a couple of later build steps before any final gluing.

Dear Jan, I wish you all the best and a very Happy Birthday

 

[dockattner]

Have a wonderful birthday Jan! An extra donut this morning and an extra cold one this evening. All the best!

 

[Uwek]

The start of a new adventure.

The kit components that arrived beautifully packed from the Ukraine. (Thank you Pavel and company)

The start of the slipway jig.

One piece done, lots more to go. The parts need a wee bit of sanding, shaping and several trial fits before final ”permanent” glue fix.

For those not familiar with this kit

The slipway that is under construction.

I will post as I complete various stages of the build but it will be here and there since I have three other builds in progress.

I started this log hoping that others who have or will have received their kits will also start build logs. Maybe the “Admins” will consider sponsoring a GROUP BUILD.

Enjoy

Jan

Hallo Jan alias @Pathfinder65

[Dean62]

Happy Birthday Jan! Have a great day!

 

[Pathfinder65]

Wow, thank you all for the Happy Birthday wishes. The Admiral and I have been to my favorite Bakery and then to our beach spot. My Jelly donut “was run down your face good”. We are having a family gathering on Sunday and plan on grilling burgers, hot dogs and corn. and are also on the menu.

 

[rtibbs]

Wow, I guess I missed the party. Happy birthday Jan and here’s hoping you didn’t have to shovel your way to the bakery.

No Sir, no storms to contend with today. Snow from the last storm is almost gone. There is a storm forecast for this weekend, half a foot of snow in the mountains, little less for the upper portion of the state and 1 - 2 inches of rain for us along the coast. So I can sip my , work on my and not worry about moving any white stuff.

 

[RogerD]

Happy birthday from me also Jan. No doubt your day is going well even with jelly donut remnants on your face at the beach .

 

[Jimsky]

Happy Birthday, Jan Wishing all the best!
