Im going to share with you a WIP I have been working on for the last two years. Its a mexican ferry that sailed in the Sea of Cortes between La Paz y Mazatlan since 1974 until 2008. Named MN Coromuel, sister of two identical other ships, MN Azteca and MN Puerto Vallarta. I travelled many times on board them. I fell in love hit her, as she is quite pretty on the looks!.
She was build in Jos L Meyer shipyards in Papemburg Germany.
I leave some real images and i will tell some more history along with new posts.
model is 1/100 scale
CAD designed frames are laser printed.
Design is completely by hand. Pencil, ruler, drawings.
spaces are filled with expanded polystyrene
imagine the mess after sanding.
wood filler is used to give rigidity to the hull.
once dried and sanded, gloss paper is used, (like magazine paper) and white glue layers are used to seal the hull and add strength. 3 layers where added.
taking shape
