For those that are wondering how to get started, get on line or go to a local hobby store. There are many models available. I built the first American Cup ship model that was like building a real ship. Planked hull and decking. All other pieces hand made. The most gratifying model I’ve made. All necessary wood was included.
No, a lighter will not work. Using a lighter will not heat the plank up, but will most likely set the wood on fire. This is not what you need. You just need to warm up the wood and try not to damage its structure. Therefore, if you don’t have a soldering iron, it’s better to take a regular electric iron. For example, there are small travel irons.
I am considering this for the near future. The issue is that there are many ways to build a model: you can start completely from scratch by creating your own models and blueprints, use pre-made drawings and a list of details, or purchase a kit that includes everything you need. Additionally, these kits can vary greatly in terms of complexity, offering a wide range of choices. The availability of materials also differs from country to country. For example, I obtain wood from a private dealer, but in other countries, there might be specialized stores or different methods of acquisition. There are many other processes steps and details which may significantly differ from model to model. Therefore, I need to think carefully about how to create a video that is both informative and engaging.😉
You can even use a regular iron, but an electric soldering iron or an electric wood burner to me looks most convenient. Some model manufacturers (for example, Amati) make special devices or soldering iron attachments. But the question is: is it worth paying extra money for a similar result? ;)
Well, the easiest way to purchase a kit. Kits have ready to use parts and wooden planks. There are different kits available- by complexity, size/scale, materials etc. Having a kit, you shouldn’t worry about where to get wood. If I build model from scratch (meaning not from kit), I purchase wooden bars from my local dealer and then make planks and other parts by myself.
In fact you can use any soldering iron. E.g. I found my old one. But there are special devices of this kind available on a market. Check Amati for example.
there are two options: one - to purchase a shipmodel kit containing good quality planks; another - to get (or to get an access to) a good and precise table saw and make those planks by yourself. the planks I use in this model are from Amati kit, final planks are 0,5 mm thick, but I can make the same planks with my table saw.

Hello, I want to ask if a lighter like Bic lighters can work if we don't have a soldering iron
No, a lighter will not work. Using a lighter will not heat the plank up, but will most likely set the wood on fire. This is not what you need. You just need to warm up the wood and try not to damage its structure. Therefore, if you don’t have a soldering iron, it’s better to take a regular electric iron. For example, there are small travel irons.
Thank you 👍
I make little boats out of wood and use a lighter to heat up the sticks I use and it works fine :)
@@shipmodelideascan you make a full RUclips tutorial on how to make a model boat? And list the places you got all the things from(items)

can these little models actually float in water?
a counter question - why is this so important? 😉
Would a wood burner set work or would I have to buy a soldering iron, also this looks awesome

Did you sell it
I’m not going to sell this one.
Where did you get the wood from? I want to make a model ship for my mom to display but I don’t know where to begin..

@@shipmodelideas thank you very much !
Love you guys ❤❤❤
Pekerjaan yg sangat mendetail dan rumit sekses selal kerennn
Thank you
can we use any soldering iron and we have to use the side right?
In fact you can use any soldering iron. E.g. I found my old one. But there are special devices of this kind available on a market. Check Amati for example.
Question, could it float?
This particular model is not designed for floating; it lacks balance, has stand holes in the body, and does not have the necessary coating.
damii
Actually, there is not that much to translate. But if you have questions, you are always welcome to ask.
Yeah uhhh instructions unclear I accidentally made a torch
😉
So Bountiful Art ❤❤❤
How to get thin wooden plank like those
there are two options: one - to purchase a shipmodel kit containing good quality planks; another - to get (or to get an access to) a good and precise table saw and make those planks by yourself. the planks I use in this model are from Amati kit, final planks are 0,5 mm thick, but I can make the same planks with my table saw.
@@shipmodelideas thank you very much for information. I am also going to make a ship like that.😇
I wish you success. This is a very exciting activity. ;)
@@shipmodelideas yeah, I know i am also have made ships before. But they aren't realistic like your's. thank you very much.
Thanks to all family members ❤❤ you are Welcome
