Looking great, Daniel! That's some bluff bow. How did you bend planks?
Yes... I understood that very well. I was just trying to have fun. If the glue do not adhere, I will sand it again. I'll will let you know.
Against all my fears, I found that Pear Wood is very easy to bend. 15+ minutes in water. My bending /drying for the Pegasus.
Those are 1.5 x 5 mm for the hull.
The below are the ones that came with the kit 2.5 x 5 mm. I bent them inside the hull as they will be used for an inside part. I had those for more than 30 minutes in cold water.
I kept them in that way till I glued it inside to avoid any curvature losing. They are in 1 piece. So I was able to bend the full strip

Heinrich... here we are starting the Day... a nice and cold Sunday. When I saw your posting I went to the shop and pick up the testing plank piece to which I applied , half Poly and Half Tung Oil. You see the 2 colors on the picture. Please don't ask me which is one as I can't remember. The point is that, still fresh on the sample, I decided to use the Tung Oil instead of Poly on the hull.
Now, I glued that sample to a non treated piece of plank.
Then have a coffee, answered the wood bending question and came back to the shop to check the status of my experiment. Let's say that ~45 minutes have passed since I glued both with WeldBond
WeldBond added.
Both glued
~45 minutes later
Result: So far so good.
I will repeat the experiment later. If I see they are not well attached I will give a light sanding.
I will add Tung Oil to another piece of plank now and later, in the afternoon will glue it to another piece.
Virgin plank
Added Tung Oil to a section
Now I will let it dry till the afternoon. And check if I can glue over it.
Cheers and have a good night there in China

At the end the attachment was weak. You were correct. With some force I was able to un-glue it. So I sanded the experimental piece of wood and glued again. After an hour holds strong. Time to go to sleep. Will see tomorrow if it it strong enough
The hull has just one pass of Tung Oil. So I sanded again the full hull. Something is true.... now the hull is smooth like porcelain with so many sandings
Cheers

Well, I was able to finish the main part of the hull planking. I will consider this phase finished. I will move on now to the hull interior, where the real fun is on this kit.
At this point, nothing is left of what was provided with the kit, beside the decorations and deck beams.
As I mentioned previously, I didn't use the kit planks.

Lovely work Daniel, look forward to your interior build.
Thank you Maarten !!! I can't stop thinking in that interior design and how to do it and where will be my skills limits.
Next will be to finish the lower deck floor and place the lateral beans support for the upper deck floor.
The circular staircase is not done by most of the modelers. That will be the first interior part I will focus on. If I fail, I will move on without that stair. And that change the beans design in that area and the cabin design too. That's why I will try that circular staircase first.
You can see that staircase in the pictures at the left of the Utrech Plan drawing.
Wish me luck..... a lot of fun... and just a very few @#$%
JA JA JA

Looking great, Daniel! Beautiful lines.
Thank you !!!
Well, let me start saying that I will start with the most difficult "for me". And let me clarify that I HAVE NEVER BUILT SOMETHING LIKE THIS. My full experience just go to the classical kit building. I will have a lot of questions and requests for help.
A) I will try to replicate this room with the double deck floor to allow the tiller. And the circular staircase.
I need to see how I can fit this wall (below picture taken of my Kit last week)
This is a Russian modeler that did it.
If I fail, meaning that I can not find my way on how to do the doble floor and stair, then I will do the way the kit was designed.
Pictures from Jerónimo's built at SOS
Let's see......
Now you understand why I can't stop thinking on that interior.
Plus, if you visit Jerónimo's Pegasus build, you will see all the detailed work he did (also the Russian modeler). I hope I am half as good and I will be smiling.
Cheers
Daniel

If you need inside pictures of the Utrecht let me know. I have been sailing for a day with her two years ago so I do have inside pictures of the cabins.Thank you Maarten !!! I can't stop thinking in that interior design and how to do it and where will be my skills limits.

Please, feel free to send me the pictures that you consider pertinent. I have the Utrech book, but I am sure yours will be more detailed. I will PM my email address.
Thank you !!!
