Your card modeling skills are very much legendary.

I want to try one of the Shipyard kits but the thought of floppy cardboard scares me

The deck gradually fills up. Then I started building the second dinghy. In the process, I realised that I had made mistakes with the first boat. I should have reinforced the frames beforehand, so I glued them to stronger cardboard before cutting them out. That's why I'm now building the first boat again. You can see it in the pictures - I already like the smaller boat better than the older big one at this point. I think the new big boat will be better too.

Oh, that's not so bad, dare! My motto is (and I hope that DeepL now translates it so that the joke comes across well): Courage is the stupidity of the clueless.

Hello everyone,

I have started a new project. It is the Russian brig Olimp, a kit from the Russian company Shipworks, in 1/96 scale.
The kit looks really good, the building instructions are very well illustrated, especially for the rigging.
Some of the parts are laser cut, the rest have to be cut out.
I have already finished the hull. For the underwater hull, the kit provides red paint. This looks funny and is certainly to represent the copper plating. Therefore, I bought copper foil and copper the hull.
After the first layer with planks I putty and sanded. The planks of the second layer had to be cut out. They also fit very well. I painted the hull with acrylic paint before coppering. This allows individual copper plates to come off well if they need to be corrected.

Also in this build report: The English language and I are unfortunately not the best friends. I use DeepL to translate. If what I write here sounds a bit bumpy, don't be angry with me.

Hallo @Bonden
we wish you all the BEST and a HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Enjoy your special day

BTW: Du bist in guter Gesellschaft, da heute auch Johann archjofo und Alexander Foxtrott Geburtstag feiern

Zum Geburtstag viel Glück, Bonden!!
