This is a fantastic build. Well done.

Can you explain the materials and techniques? 
Is it just Balsa wood and PVA glue?
Do you cut with a saw or a scalpel?
Do you use a lot of clamps?
Do you do a lot of sanding to get the curves?

Thanks

Mick

Hi, thanks for the questions:

the techniques are the same as for static wooden ship models, in fact I use the same plan for the corel half moon kit https://victoryshipmodels.com/ship-model-half-moon-wooden-static-kit-corel-dutch-galleon.html. It always starts with an innere structure made of 4mm plywood. Than I use balsa to form the shape of the hull as shown in this picture.

The first planking is made of 1,5x5mm basswood. This is a standard material to build ship models. Before applying the planks they were cooked in boiled water to soften them and fixed with clothes pegs.

For the side walls I use three layers to stabilize the walls.

To shape the curves I use a vibrating grinder; this tool is awesome and it is very fast

The final planking is made with walnut 0,5x5mm planks.

Looks incredible so far! Is it going to sit on the table as it is currently, or is it going to be based?
