Hello Olha! How are you? Its very very diferent! First of all you feel it diferent. Wood is organic so the feeling is very diferent! Then, its twice if not much of work but at the Same time you know that you are building something completly diferent! The more work you have the more pleased you get! Its very strange but gratifing! Thank you for your comment! Love your work! Stay safe and Merry Christmas
I'm lying down on my sofa at 01.24 night my time and I find watching this very soothing and relaxing. I have had a crappy day, so I really needed this to try to calm down. **thumbs up** ☺
Throughly enjoyed today’s video my friend , I’ve always enjoyed the way you film and edited. your modelling skills, and the relaxing way you talk about the relationship with the model. Excellent
I haven't tried soaking the planking, I use a plank bender. I do use a nail pusher, but my nails are finer than yours which makes it easier to push the nail all the way in. Your doing a great job and as always make enjoyable videos - thank you
A tip I learned building custom aircraft cabinetry. When using contact cement for veneer, if you start with a primer coat (thinned contact cement, 60-75% applicable thinner), it gives the cement amazing bite to wood as it’s able to soak in a bit. It makes a huge difference in adhesion.
I think you are doing a fantastic job for your first plank on plank wooden ship! I have been a fan of your videos for a long time and watch them while I do my little modeling, so enjoyable to watch and listen to, thank you. I have become stalled on my own wood ship model that I started over a year ago, lol. Just can't get the first planks down right, only have 4 runs on either side and the rest is a mystery for me. Watching you build your ship is having an effect on me, time to try the next run, I guess! Thanks so much for an honest build. You're doing great! Stay safe and Model on!!
I'm no wooden ship builder but, in my very inexperienced opinion, I think you are doing a terrific job and this is your first build. You inspire me as you do not shy away from challenges and give different types of kits a go. All the very best for the festive season to you and yours, Alex.
Hi again, a few more tips for you. I noticed that kit as pre-cut shaped parts (#46). They would be great for getting the general shape of the bulwarks you fitted earlier. Soak and clamp the bulwark parts to parts 46 and allow to dry, that would have then given you a good template for sanding the hull at that section, so you end up with a close match to the curve. Wooden ship building is about planning well ahead. Also, the work stand, next time, cut some thin strips of felt or sponge and line it, so when you are resting the nicely varnished hull on it, you don't chip or mark it during the rest of the build.
A little tip, it's backwards logic with planking. Yes, ideally you need to soak them in order to bend them, but don't fit them to the hull when wet. Wood absorbs water and swells,, so by fitting them wet, you run the risk of gaps appearing or even breaking the bonds as it dries and contracts. The safer way is to soak, fit into position and temp pin in place until they dry, and then glue them into position.
Amazing job so far Alex a real labour of love . For your first ever wooden kit you have done a wonderful job so far . Stay safe and have a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year .
Definitely following this build closely. My kit of the Albatross came just after you posted the first episode. Looks like a fine kit. Just what one would expect from OcCre.
There’s a lot of way to planking the hull. First off it helps a lot with an electric plank bender, to heat the wood and make it curve before you attach it to the hull. If you’re painting the hull, it doesn’t need to look as nice, as you can use wood filler and sand paper before painting, so you can’t see anything. However, take the time to learn how to plank nicely as at some point, you’ll probably gonna do a ship that doesn’t has to be painted and just shows the woods natural colour. But as a first timer, paint is a good way to go, so you can build up the experience. Having the correct tools is half the job. :) Also, a friendly advice from a wood model ship builder to another, if you think you can do a better job at a certain point, with a piece, then do it. Otherwise it will haunt you and by then you can’t re do it. Keep it up.
Helpful to drill a hole for the nail before pushing in on the end bits of the planks. Will stop the splitting. Also do you pre bend the planks to shape before laying? That way they'll lay ok. Good job so far though! Another question: Could you avoid hammering the nails down all the way so that once glued, the planks will hold allowing you to simply pull the nails and re use again in future. Then you don't have to worry about filing the nail heads down.
Absolutely terrific how your doing this build I have bought the albertross and your videos will be such a fantastic help thank you for all this detail oh and I've subscribed 👍
Great build, Alex! I know you can make great plastic ship models but it looks like you also get the hang of this wood ship constructing. Like the video explaining the steps and problems. I only just finished my first ever little ship ( Revell Jolly Roger), and converted it a little bit into a Dutch pinacce. Hope you like it. Seasons Greatings ✨🎄✨, DutchDave✌🏻
This is an amazing build Alex. I really enjoy following your new journey and you as well as Olha, have given me the motivation to buy a wooden model ship as well. So I will follow your build with most of the interest. I am learning allot.
@@AlexModeling your welcome. I have been following your videos for a long time and always enjoyed it and still do !! You are a real inspiration to me and motivates me to keep building and like you say the most important, with a smile :-)
all i can say is looking good. i enjoy your videos they are very relaxing and also very instructive.. i myself have never tried a wooden boat build but may give it a try.. thank you
Damn Alex, she's looking real good. If i tried something like this... I'd end up with a lot of toothpicks. Seriously, I'm thinking of taking one of these wooden ships on. Youve given me something to think about. Thanks Brother.
Once again a great video. Excellent work! Really liking the new direction with the videos. Really chilled out and engaging... inspiring too! I'm getting closer to taking the plunge with the wooden ships!
I am a beginner on the wooden ship building as well..doing Occre Beagle just now.i am using videos from a guy called John Alprantis in Greece i think to guide me. Can recommend you give his videos a look.....He gives you complete tutorials on each stage on the build...very talented guy.
Hi Alex. Looks really good so far! I hope that I can do that too. But why didn't you stain the parts first and then glue them on? I'm looking forward to the next videos. Then good things happen with the rest of the building. Model builder greeting
Honestly I remembered the days were i painted kits by hand with a brush and just did it... It was indeed simpler to do as you say... I had tremendous fun during the process 🙂🙂👍👍
Dude you must look at tutorials of Ohla batchvorov on UA-cam, it has always been a dream a wooden ship with all its difficulties, i started with it 15 years ago, but i couldn't progress without good guidance, i have enjoyed building tamiya planes thank to your build i learnt a lot, recently came across the tutorials from this lady. Now that I understand more, I will definitely give it another try. Keep up the good work looking Sharp 💪
Man, thank you very much for such a detailed and comprehensive video! Could you please tell me, what this Tinto Sapelli is made of? Is it a typical acrylic paint or what? Cannot figure out, what can I substitute this thing with
thank you so much for sharing, its so relaxing and educational. you gave me a good boost for this weekend. and i would recommend the channel Nightshift to all of you too.
What are your impressions from the wooden model after so much plastic?

Wood feels alive, plastic feels dead.
Brilliant work so far... you’d think Alex has been building wood ships all his life. Looking forward to the next part. Thanks for the mention.
My pleasure Harry! Could Turned out a bit better. But its my first One and i AM having fun

@@AlexModeling no worries, you will be building a ship of the line in no time...then battling with 4000 individual copper tiles on the hull haha.
Beautiful Alex, you'er so talented modeler. I think you could build anything. Keep having fun.
Could have worked better. I like it even so. Thank you

They are indeed good Woody kits
Olá Alex.
Fizeste um excelente trabalho.
Grande abraço.
Obrigado amigo! Podia ter corrido melhor admito!
Great job on the hull! In future you may want to drill a pilot hole at the end of a strip to keep it from splitting.
Thank you! I will!
Fabulous Alex, its coming along well…..look forward to the next part…..obrigado as always from South Africa
My hubby is asking for you to show us your work space so he can see what tools you use, if you dont mind….thank you

Why do t you get OcCre? 😂👍🙂
Caldercraft do a wonderful model called Mars. Look it up. It's a stunner. Small, yet very detailed. Would be interested in your opinion.
Let me check it and i will e-mail you👍👍
i soak mine and use a plank bender( a soldering iron )
Looking good, but more importante knowing you are enjoying it a lot :)

Eu tenho a caravela portuguesa de occidental, mas é de plástico. Eu ainda não sei se eu vou começar esse kit, porque parece muito difícil.
Tenho um vídeo dessa mesma caravela. Adorei faze-la. Forte abraço
If you can build a wooden ship kit . It makes plastic model kits seem so easy ? At least it does for me....good job so far Alex
Could be better Sean, but um having a lot of fun and learning a lot!
Good job Alex. Keep it up.
It looks wonderful, Alex! Xx
