Launch of the ship "Twelve Apostles" in 1:48, Master Korabel [COMPLETED BUILD]

The first plank is the most difficult to install. First, because all the other planking depends on it. Second, because the glue must be applied only on the tight zone marked by laser:

The template helps a lot here.

Sunkiausia montuoti pirmąją lentą. Pirma, nes nuo to priklauso visa kita lentų danga. Antra, kadangi klijus reikia tepti tik ant tankios zonos, pažymėtos lazeriu:

Šablonas čia labai padeda. Atkreipkite dėmesį, kad į šabloną įterpiamos tik lentos galūnės, visa kita eina per jį.

Na, o dabar aš darau mažą pertraukėlę švęsti Naujųjų metų. Linksmų 2023 metų visiems!
Happy new year
 
Back to work.
Usually I heat the planks with a soldering iron to make the glue set more quickly. First I thought this method would be too risky for the plastic jig - but no, it resists perfectly to the heating. It's enough to be careful and to avoid a direct contact between the iron and the jig. However, it's better to give shape to any plank before glueing, so the process takes a bit longer.
