San Felipe Panart 1:75 DarkNight Build Log

[DarkNight]

Dear Forum Members,

just starting with my first build log ever and second build. Previous to this build I worked on Occre Buccaneer and finished it roughly one year ago. I have chosen the San Felipe because of the nice appearance once finished. Anyway, maybe it is a little bit to difficult for my second build but I like challenges.

I started already 2 month ago with fitting everything together. Last week the first gluing and coloring the balsa strips black.

Beside that I also checked the build logs in this forum. To mention Donnie's build log from the San Felipe. (Thanks, already checked my balsa strips that they are set in the right position.)

Cheers
Chris

Took a while to continue on the St. Felipe due to vacation .

After gluing and coloring the balsa strips I glued in the first false deck. No problems with that. Had to adjust a little bit the fitting but nothing serious. Afterwards I started to glue the first planking of the hull. Started with the "main plank". This one I glued a little bit higher than indicated by the plan. Maybe I need some more extra space for the cannons.

As some of the top bulkheads will be removed and to avoid that the planks would be glued to them I put some tape on the top of the bulkheads so that it is easier to remove them.

So nothing special yet. Going step by step. Pictures below.

Cheers Chris
