Beautifully built and photographed showing that even a less "ornamented" build can demand care and precision at every step of the way. PT-2View attachment 163716

After dry-fitting the deck houses, I began gluing the deck planking with black-tinted glue to simulate the caulking. I made sure that the deck houses did not get glued to them at this stage. After completing this step, I removed the deck houses and sanded the deck with 150-grit sanding paper. I simulated nails with the help of CA glue. I marked the nails, drilled them with .35 mm drill, poured CA over this and sanded the deck for the second time (first with 150-gritt, then with fine, 400-gritt sandpaper). The CA also added definition to the planking seams. Although the kit did not contain one, I added a scupper at the bottom of the cockpit. I finished the deck with two coats of tung oil.
I agree that the video clips are great tutorials on how to do things. Even with advancing age and forgetfulness of many things, they may pop back to mind when a similar need is encountered. Excellence in video and crafting! PT-2Dear Olya
It's just a pleasure to watch your movies, reflecting delicate and precise work to the small and complex details alongside design work of solutions that upgrade the beautiful results you create.
Continues to follow with great curiosity
Dear Olya. Unfortunately I can't access your YouTube videos, because of the "Firewall" in China - so I am most glad when you post pictures from time to time. Your build is testimony of an exquisitely clean build and meticulous attention to detail. I know that you have expressed your frustration at times about the "old-fashioned" Russian way of doing things, but I am sure that it also taught you a lot at the same time.
Дмитре, дякую!Дуже гарно працюэте, Ольга!!! Щиро дякуем!! Коуши....коуши... А где обещанное видео по коушам??
Іще один ворпос. Олово при пайке тичэ як вода, який припой, і яку кислоту використовуєш? Якю обробку проходять деталі перед пайкою?
One more question, if possible Solder melts as water, what kind of solder is it, and what kind of flux do you use\reccomend? Is any special treatment for the parts before you solder them?
Beautifully executed overall and precise small detailing. Thanks for presenting it with your photographic skills. PT-2
