Falconet ten-oared boat 25 feet scale 1:72

Check out my review of the kit here: https://forum.dubz-modelling-world.com/thread-57.html

Now it's time to build this small boat :-)


The kit











Starting with the keel. Layered for strength and grain orientation.








The Jig




Having installed the gunwale beam. Then glueing the oarlock pins into it. Afther that I installed the stern stay and started on the frames.






Finished installing the frames.












It's tiny!

I glued the transom and installed the first plank. It is positioned using the remaining veneer inserted into the slot of the jig. Nice idea btw :-)

I finished the planking. Not my favourite part and pretty sure others can do better. Removing the resin part was tricky, had to reglue lots of parts but only one small piece broke but easy to fix. Next will be the keel what will be tricky as I hav some small issues with the lines at the bow now.

I did the stem and keel parts, as I wrote I had some selfmade issues there (I was too hasty when sanding) so improvising is needed and later some more hiding of the flaws ... hehe. I also started the interiour. It's a great detailed tiny boat and fun to do as everything fits quite well :-)

Wonderful kit. I love the clever mould and the detail of the parts. Nicely made too.

Eyebolts done, backrest done (removeable), two more benches done (have to redo them as they are not wide enough for my hull (maybe humidity)).1

It is very challenging removing the laser char on items so damn small. But it is really important to do so and also to sand the wood removing burn marks and get it smooth. After that Danish Oil is applied and a little bit of polishing. Without a smooth surface it will not look good in that scale.










And some macros ....

I did more metalwork and I can tell you bending loops around a 0.2mm rod is not fun ... I also did a simple stand for the boat :-)
