It's easy to forget though, so if you click on POF models you will see what I mean. Another way of doing them is right way up and use bulwark sections (if you have them). If not you will have to do a bit of drafting. I.E. measure length, breadth and height and take a flying guess using the kit to measure the sheer outline and where the ribs would be. Keith.

This time the boat was done much quicker and cleaner than the first one. The beauty of repetition.. Even dough these two models are relatively smaller scale, i have decided to add some lights, to test the process and end results. There were no much area to add lights so i decided to put some planks in the areas that will be visible, hardly but somehow visible. One area is right behind the windows and second is where the gratings will be installed.   Need to hide the cables, so i made few "groves" in 4mmx6mm dimension.   The visible area received a light coat of golden oak stain and groves are also installed.   Then lights are put in..   The idea is to have power for lights outside of the ship, the cables will go thru future pedestal and connected to the battery that will be sitting hidden, somewhere on the wooden base. And testing...   The led pair on the right are flickering lights, imitating candle and the pair on the left are solid lights. Both are yellow in color. The lens are 3mm, clear, round, voltage range 9-12V. Happy modelling.. | ||
