Teraz sa musím modliť, aby som ich mohol odstrániť z prípravku...

Držím palce. Vyzerajú fantasticky.

Longboat and barge were extracted rather smoothly, but for the cutter it went quite brutal. I broke the stem and couple of planks. I need to pay more attention to not glue the boat to the jig next time

75% success would normally be wonderful - but I am sure you are disappointed. I trust it can be repaired?

These fractures should not be seen as the boats are stacked inside each other



Only this place is disappointing, but the attempt to replace this plank will surely lead to a full destuction of the boat

Navrhujem prasklinu zamaskovať. Napríklad umiestniť do lode stočené lano a jeden koniec zavesiť cez zlomenú časť.

Good idea!

All photoetching is finished. Most of the parts are duplicated, because this do-it-yourself process doesn't provide 100% result

I finished the 3 boats. The oil coating still to do

 

[dockattner]

This is fine work, Oleg! My respect.

 

[Hubac’s Historian]

Just beautiful, clean work Oleg! Love it!

Hey Oleg,

Very, very nice work, Oleg. I really like the dinghies. Beautiful.

Good job! "I demand the banquet to continue" (c)

 

[OlegM]

Thank you guys! I also assembled the base plywood structure.



I also transformed this pile of pine into filler pieces. They will fill the underwater portion of the hull.

 

[OlegM]

Treated with oil
honestly, I like this pear shade so much
in reality (unlike the photos) it is quite darker

 

[OlegM]

And I filled and sanded the underwater portion of the hull

Very nice, Oleg. I was wondering what you diluted/cut the bitumen with? Shellac or a solvent (like turpentine or mineral spirits)?

Bitumen is just love! The boats are perfect!
