Very nice work. Question: is the open grain left by the 60 grit paper to scale? To my eye, it seems a finer grit at the end might have removed some fur. Just a light touch with perhaps steel wool?

[@ModelShips]

Just the 60 grit, but keep in mind that the sanding is done with the wood only dry to the touch, but not fully dry

[@luukderie8344]

Nice work! Keep it going pls. Some inspiration for a next build. Could you explain what the bleaching of the hull is for? Thx

[@ModelShips]

I bleach all the dark woods of the kit, this is done to have light woods to stain for the aged look, the stains wouldn't look the same if i left the wood dark, so it was either bleaching the wood, or buying lighter wood and not using the kit wood The wood on the bottom part of the hull was bleached, but bleaching only lightens a layer of the wood, so after planking the hull, the sanding needed exposed dark wood, so i bleach the hull completly after sanding, to remove the darker spots exposed

[@Pijawek]

Shouldn't the planking be covered with second planking with thin planks?

[@ModelShips]

Some kits have second planking, mostly because it's more forgiving and easier to hide the mistakes of the 1st planking, not all kits have that second one

[@sergiocobo6000]

In later videos the weathering base has been dark oak stain. Any reason why you choose vinegar/steel wool, and alcohol/india ink base coats?

[@ModelShips]

It's mostly about what shade will show through the paint chipping, I wanted a different tone on the upper part of the hull, for the smaller pieces I went with dark oak stain, it's easier and if I went with the other I would have to bleach all the darker woods, and the difference isn't worth all the trouble

Thank you...i am following your build and have learned so much. I wish you would do Model Shipways Constitution next... It is challenging to say the least. I am building it as a weathered ship following your examples. Thanks for the great tutorials

[@Trevscuriosites]

I know this is an old video but I just found your channel so am watching your video's from the beginning very inspirational I must say just a question on your india ink is it black or another color thanks for putting up your fantastic work video's

[@ModelShips]

Black, 50 drops on 200 ml alcohol

[@Fura_Tesciowej]

Hi know it was long time ago mut maybe you will answer so ill be happy So question is what bleach did you used ? becouse on my wood for this kit didn’t work at all and i just make wood very poor and brakes easily i uses Wood bleacher and after some kind of domestos? 😅😅

[@ModelShips]

Household bleach, not exactly domestus but similar

[@Fura_Tesciowej]

Thanks buddy

[@HugoSoaresCollector]

nice work.

[@HugoSoaresCollector]

what is the product you put on the ship called

[@ModelShips]

Wich one are you refering to? There's a solution made from solving steel wool on vinegar, there's another one made from indian ink on isopropilic alchool, and a dark oak stain from the brand LAKEONE, since you are portuguese, you can find it on Leroy Merlin.

[@HugoSoaresCollector]

Thanks for the info. Hug.

Hi Great Job, What king of blade holder do you use ? i thing is very comfy ?

[@ModelShips]

It's just some random hobby blade, if i remeber correctly it's from gear best, it's more confortable than scalple handles for any job that requires more pressure
