Started a wooden scale model

@katttruewalker Indeed, regarding the plastic model it can take a couple of hours depending of the scale and the details of the model.
But the wooden one darn it's hard i have to put the stick in alcohol otherwise the sticks would simply crack if i bend them a little.

Also saying that the wood is working all the year.

@lizalaroo Thank you

@stacky-a I hope you're really ready to wait :)

That's awesome.

I don't think i could ever make something looking that cool i would really like to see it finished

It looks amazing! Can't wait to see the finished one :P. Good luck building it!

Like SWIFT says, really looking forward seeing the final picture.
And it looks really cool, well done!

@clumsy-george Sure things,

From now it's pratty basic i'll admit.
After that i'll need to apply some sandpaper on it etc...
The part i'm really afraid of is the sails if i can be worst at something it's the sewing i'll try to ask my wife if she can make me some sails with a bunch of cloth or whatever i found

@musicmee Indeed it will look like a fiction pirate ship with ripped sailsbut for the moment i'm more occupied by the wood itself i need to immerse them in the alcohol to transform them into something that i can manipulate with less caution also because i can bend them and stick on the draft without difficulties.

Quick update i'm still not dead but i've some personnal problems so the model's gonna take a little bit longer than it was supposed to take.
And i have to remove a part of the hull the wood really worked because of the heat, humidity, cold etc... so most of them cracked
by the way i changed my workshop i don't have enough place at home so i found a better place at my grandpa's home :D

This is looking really cool so far! I can't wait to see the final result.

@lunecro Looking amazing so far!

@lunecro hows this project going? Would love to see the progress.

Amazing job so far. Brings back fond memories of my grandfather too. He used to make wooden models waaaay back when. I missed out on those genes sadly.

Looking forward to seeing how this progresses and the end result. Love this. Thankyou for sharing it.

Hey folks,

Just passing by, and also saying that i'm not that much active the past few months, because the studies are taking me too much of my free time.
But i still manage to get a bit of time to continue a little bit my ship.

And another one

I fear that's all i'm gonna try to put more time on it

Oops it seems like i failed the link i'm gonna try something else because i couldn't find the edit button (if there's one)

@lunecro the edit button is the cog wheel on the bottom right of your reply.

Yep found it after a while

@lunecro Looking good! Patience is the key to woodwork. Take your time and realize that everything (adhesives, paints, stains, etc.) are better used sparingly, allowed full time to "set", and reapplied as necessary. You can always add...you cannot take away!

Well basically i was thinking about stopping it until i have enough time.
It was taking the dust by the time so i decided to continue it
