I'm now working on the small details of the Schooner Polotsk.












There were also details to add in the rudder area :-)












And a view from the front.

Time for a little update. At the moment I am working on the Polotsk dinghy. Master Korabel was kind enough to laser all the parts in pear for me :-)






Better than any clunky plank bending soldering iron. A hotfix applicator. The Russians rightly love this thing and it costs nothing. I just turned the brass top round to be able to work even better :-)

Thanks for the tip about the hotfix applicator. I'd never heard of them. Nice job on the dinghy.

Thanks Tony :-) 

I continue with the dinghy for my Russian schooner Polotsk.

Most of the time is spent carefully removing all traces of laser char (I find it an unspeakable bad habit NOT to do this, unfortunately it is spreading ...). The hotfix applicator is really a great help :-)

Later, of course, the boat is watered so that the planks swell up and the last gaps close :-P

Two more pictures :-)
