La-nina from Fiddlers Green: La-Nina | Miscellanous |
Rather than make a "box-like" paper model, the parts pages were printed twice just to enhance the wood framework .
Attached a few in-process photos that may be of some interest:
La-Nina Parts Pages printed on HammerMill Cover Stock Ivory 67LB Two copies.
Sail Pages printed on 20 Lb copy paper
Rattle can Krylon Acrylic Gloss used to protect parts page surfaces.
Hull planking burnished including deck wooding.
Outside and inside ship side framing cut from second parts page.
Throughout build all cut edges color matched using water color.
Assembled parts using Aleene’s Tacky glue.
Applied several coats of Future Acrylic Floor Wax on finished hull and base.
Sails:
Carefully burnished over layers of soft paper towel.
Old thread selected from wife’s sewing basket.
Between thumb and trigger finger applied Aleene’s tacky glue
to several weighted and hung thread lengths that dried overnight.
These were used for rigging and flags.
Attached sails to wood dowels using lighter colored thread.
All thread knots spot glued.
Two straight pins pushed from cardboard reinforced base bottom helped secure posts to hull.
