Re: 1/200 Sun Princess
Song Jung Gun - hello there, that's a large cruise ship you're going to build, what type of wood do you use ? I remember when I was very small, my dad gave me a wooden ship HMS Victory, the hull was solid wood and the upper parts were like a compressed paper, not MDF or cardboard, it was such a long time ago, but hand built with skill, I've liked looking at these type of - what would you actually call them ? A model no doubt, a wooden scale ship perhaps.
Look forward to seeing more progress, and maybe you can explain more of what and how you make this ship.

Re: 1/200 Sun Princess
I still can't take in or understand how you're actually gauging the parts of the wood you're reducing into the hull shape, I can clearly see what you are doing, and can only guess you are using craft-man skill to curve this out. Could you tell me at what point does your eye take over from the details on the plan you're working from, assuming you are working from a scale drawing.

Re: 1/200 Sun Princess
The point is prepare working plan. If you wan't to 1/200 scale modeland prepare 1/200 working drawings. And then gauging the parts just 1/1 of working drawings.aleccap wrote:I still can't take in or understand how you're actually gauging the parts of the wood you're reducing into the hull shape, I can clearly see what you are doing, and can only guess you are using craft-man skill to curve this out.

Re: 1/200 Sun Princess
The next progress is making ships both sides and attaching carved stem.
The chipboard is used in both sides because IT HAS A LOT OF WINDOWS.

Re: 1/200 Sun Princess
great wood working skills you have!!!
How did you make the windows in the chipboard? Punched them out with a chisel? Or did you use a scroll saw?
Great progress so far, smooth curved and smooth surface on your stem and stern!

Re: 1/200 Sun Princess
Hello Song - I see you work very fast and precise, especially with those straight cuts you've made, pleased to see the cruise ship taking shape, just to throw a sanner in the works, were you thinking of having LED lights on this ship ? Great work so far.
