Welcome to the world of wooden ships! That is an ambitious first kit, although since you're a master with plastic, it should be a nice model. I never have liked the penciled look of planking, I've always cut each deck board to length, darken the edges, and apply them one-by-one, same with the second hull. I've also found that razor saws work better when cutting wood, than knifes. A knife tends to crush the fibers.
Your narrative is drowned out by music in parts! Can’t we choose at home to listen to music on our own devices, if desired? Content and presentation of subject first class. Portugal is a beautiful country. I visited on two occasions. I envy you.
Hi Alex ,very good build ,just one point, I don't think that you are supposed to cut out the slots on the sides of the deck ,if left in place it gives you a nice complete deck.Keep up the great builds.
Shaping pieces in water is not good try steaming in the parts with a wallpaper stripper for 30 minutes. Then clamp or pin then in place. You will have to work quickly so make sure you have everything to hand. I just put the wood parts up the hose of the steamer and restrict the flow of steam a little. I hope this helps someone
Wow this model is going to look amazing . It is great to see you challenge yourself with a wooden ship .Well done Alex can't wait to see this one finished stay safe and keep smiling yourself.
I have watched quite a few ship model assembly videos and you sand better than most. I have seen quite a few that do not properly sand the bow and force the planking around the unsanded edges and they just look horrible. YOURS LOOKS GREAT!
Doing an excellent job Alex, I just started the Occre HMS Beagle which is my first wooden ship also. Quite a learning curve but so satisfying when you get it right.
Hello Alex. Nice that you build a wooden model. The Albatros will also be my first wooden model. Would be nice if you could make more accurate videos of the rigging. The standing good in particular is a mystery to me. Looking forward to more videos, keep it up. Greetings from Germany.
Great work Alex! Building the first wooden ship is should I say a bit challenging but this is looking great. Your expertise with modeling really shows here. I'm in the process of making my first ship and it is a quite an intense learning experience :) Still, I'm loving every moment of it. I'll be looking forward how your work progresses. Hopefully everything goes well and you will be having lots of fun with the Albatross!
Something very different from your previous work, Alex and a stellar start to this new project. It's evident that you've taken much care with this build (not that you haven't with others!) and are relishing the new challenges plus utilising previous skills to ensure that you get it right. Terrific start and something to look forward to in coming episodes.
Hello Alex, nice to see you work on a wooden project for a change. Maybe you already mentioned it in your comments and I missed it, or maybe you haven't discovered it yet... but you do realize that you have removed too much of your deck planking ? Namely the parts that would cover up the bulkheads, those little rectangles weren't supposed to be removed. A tip for you ; when assembling a wooden ships skeleton I use LEGO bricks to keep the bulkheads in a 90° position. At the moment I'm working on Revell's Haunebu II btw and I'm using your video as a referrence.
This is the same ship I'm working on. It's also my first ship as well. I'm onto the planking right now. Kinda scared to start. I see you made the same mistake I made. You cut out the notches of the decking to fit the skeleton of the ship. When i looked closer i could see that the decking timber can lay straight over it. I ended up redoing it. Other than that looking good so far. It's a nice little ship.
@@AlexModeling since writing that comment I have now watched the rest of your videos. You really like that sapelli dye. Lol. I think I'll just use varnish and let the natural colors of the woods do the work. The base looks good though. You made the right choice not using the pedestal they sent you. Looking good. I look forward to seeing you continue to make progress.
Olha que o forro o segundo forró está me a dar trabalho... O primeiro não ficou no seu melhor.. ficou liso mas mesmo assim para testar produtos usei o filler de madeira e passei horas a lixa-lo. Estou agora a colocar o segundo forro de sapelli... O colocar as ripas no meio e arrematar nas pontas, proa e popa faz me confusão admito
In building this ship and making a video it is important to note that background music is very annoying when trying to understand the narration and can reach a point where "adios" is indicated.
Ut Oh! I saw a boo boo., When you cut the notches in the deck, you were only supposed to cut thru the actual deck itself and not the decking planks. I did the same thing myself. Now you will need to fill in the gaps with small pieces of wood and decking.
Just a tip. Wooden kits don’t age well in the box. So don’t buy an old kit that’s been sitting around for a couple of decades (like I did). All the wood had shrunk to the point where the skeleton pieces wouldn’t slot into each other. I filed them out but unfortunately threw out the entire alignment of the ship. It was a disaster and now shelved indefinitely. It’s the Endeavour. Can’t remember the brand without getting up and looking, but if anyone needs parts hit me up. I have plenty.
Obrigado! É o meu primeiro... Um erro aqui outro ali mas lá vai avançando devagar. Forte abraço e Bom Natal para ti e para os teus. Toma cuidado forte abraço
Hi Alex. Thank you for your most instructive videos. Could I ask you if this model could be for an intermediate beginner. I have built some plastic models before.
Yes! It could! Most definitly. If you have the patience and enjoy this type of wood kits i am sure you can do even a better work than im doing! Most definitly 👍👍👍!
Hey Alex, quick question. Do you remember your deck having a bow in it when trying to place it on? Mine has a bow the curved up at the ends and I have to apply pressure in the middle so it lays against the bulkheads
Nice work so far Alex. Those Occre kits are so well made and nearly fall together. The only thing you missed was the alternate deck planks have no end joins. So you have one long plank the length of the ship, then one segmented every 10cm. If you want to fix it you’ll need to do that before adding anything else to the deck. The staggered join would be halfway between your current plank joins on the planks either side. I lightly score the join with my knife, then pencil it in. I showed the technique on my Constructo Bounty video. This might be of some help where I made lower deck sections. Go to 11:25 in the video. ruclips.net/video/AqmZLUL1lRI/видео.html
@@AlexModeling honestly you would get away with it once the deck is covered with bits and bobs, as well as all the masts, sails and rigging. No one but an expert would notice.
Здравствуйте! Так же, как вы, вырезал в настиле палубы палубы отверстия под шпангоуты, что является ошибкой (15:52). Как вы это исправили в дальнейшем?
I’m now trying to build the same model. I was wondering in step 15 of the instructions, where you are attaching the bulwarks, did you have to steam them to get the necessary flexibility to bend them as required around the hull? If so, for how long? If not, may I ask how you did it?
you should always soak the timber in hot water for about 10 minutes then use a household iron to run over it to help bend it into shape. never try to bend it while dry and cold and don't rely on glue to hold that
Nice. Two tips : for the planking of the deks you should use white glue. For the bending of wood : put the wood in water and use a soldering iron. Check the page of John Aliprantis! He is a master.
Hello Alex, good to see you again and this time you brought a wooden ship!! You complete beautiful models with very fine workmanship. Have you done this before? LOL
Thanks for posting Alex. Meticulous work well described and shown 👍
Thank you. Still trying to film everything... Its hard when working with tgese wood ships

Great Start to your first wooden ship, Looking forward to this build as wooden ship is my next project, also a first for me
Thank you!
Glad to see you back Alex ,missed your fantastic work.
Thank you Paula!
ive been thinking about getting into the wooden ship models, just seems a bit of a challenge to start.
Well, it a bit of hard work but i can tell you its a lot of fun also. And its a "diferent" type of model making but very satisfactory to see it grow

Здравствуйте! Так же, как вы, вырезал в настиле палубы палубы отверстия под шпангоуты, что является ошибкой (15:52). Как вы это исправили в дальнейшем?
Я использовал мини-машинку с полировальным валиком, чтобы удалить лишнее дерево на окне.
@@AlexModeling а в видео этот момент отображён?
I’m now trying to build the same model. I was wondering in step 15 of the instructions, where you are attaching the bulwarks, did you have to steam them to get the necessary flexibility to bend them as required around the hull? If so, for how long? If not, may I ask how you did it?
I uses super Four and acelerador👍
you should always soak the timber in hot water for about 10 minutes then use a household iron to run over it to help bend it into shape. never try to bend it while dry and cold and don't rely on glue to hold that
how did you get the deck to lie flat? I end up sanding down the rear to amek it fit.
Why didn't you point out the big mistake you made when you trimmed the lining "planking" from the notches in the deck?
Have you even watched the vídeo???
What colours of Occre paint are needed for this particular model? I’ve looked at their site but can’t find anything which specifies this.
Black, copper, but above all you need the sapelly dye
@@AlexModelingThanks a lot. Just wondering but where does Occre list this information?
I don t think it does! Just answering from what i have seen so far. And don t forget the satin varnish
@@AlexModeling Thanks again! Appreciate the build series.
Thank you for watching! Its my first so im aproaching this build as a total amateur. Enjoying it very much
