if you want the hull of a shipmodel to be sturdy this is the way to do it. In the beginning days of my wood modeling a pensioned professional modelmaker that worked at the Rotterdam Maritime Museum showed me the logicalness of doing this. I may not always do the whole hull but i wil allways strengten the bow and sternsection and pre sand the parts down before glueing them in place. Well done!!
That's right! This was explained to me by my trainer of shipmodeling, when he "disassembled my first model into splinters" - virtually of course))) And I also did not understand this until I tried it in practice! Apparently every beginner should step on this "rake" to understand this!
The nice part about having more parts and detail in the structure is that you have to do a lot less demolition and modification which saves so much time. Thank you Olha!
What patience you have, it takes a lot of work to get to this end result, WOW! The next year will be exciting to watch and I wish you that it brings everything you want. Thank you for sharing your incredible talent with us!
Thank you very much! Next year will be my symbol on the Eastern calendar))) Year of the Tiger - in the year of the patron animal usually all wishes and plans come true)))
I'm glad I read the description because I was confused at how much extra parts you were adding to a kit. I still don't really understand why it's necessary since kits usually just plank across the ribs, but you clearly know a lot more than I do about ship building so I trust the finish result will be fantastic, and that's what's important.
In this kit, the planks are in one layer (because part of the frame will be open on the right side) so to facilitate the process of laying them, it is better to make a perfectly flat surface at first! Also, over time, such a planking without filling the spaces over time is deformed under the influence of humidity and bends (dents appear) between the bulkheads...
You have done an amazing job on the hull so far. I bet figuring out how to cut those compound angles about drove you nuts. Looking forward to seeing more on this build.
@@OlhaBatchvarov The sanding, and the filling, and the sanding................. It's like the Space Shuttle. Every block of insulation tile was a custom fit just about.
You did very well with the compound angles, hard at first to figure out I know done a few of them for the Constitution. But you have done a much better job at them than I did. I can't wait to get my eyes fixed so I can continue, one day I hope to be just as good as you!! Thanks for sharing.
Olga, I am inspired and somewhat intimidated by the excellence of your work. I am currently building an Amati kit of Vanguard. It is difficult and takes real patience to work at that level of detail and master the tools needed for it. Perhaps the most difficult part is understanding all the names of the various parts of the ship and its rigging. It's a whole new language for me and the instructions expect you to understand all of it. I was wondering what kind of preparation you had for your ship building work. It is a pleasure to watch your work.
Oh, I understand you well - I've been learning the terminology from the beginning - in English. This is a new language for me in the literal sense))) But if you build and study in order, then everything is not so difficult...
Da kann ich nur beipflichten. Baue selber die Bounty von del Prado. Bin mit der Takelage dran und muss noch die Segel nähen und diverse Restarbeiten an Rumpf und Deck ausführen. Der Bauplan von del Prado ist ein Witz. Oft auch noch falsch dargestellt. Maßstab 1 zu 47
W ow......ich finde es toll wie das machen . ich selber habe vor jahren mit der Bounty angefangen und bin nun nicht mehr weiter mit dem Bausatz gekammen
I am literally blown away by your talent Olha :o This is really an amazing work and it needs lots of patience and you just nailed it !! That hull looks just perfect. I am really impressed how this turned out and I can not admire you enough for that !!
Thank you very much! I really want to make this frigate the perfect model - so I'm in no hurry to build her. I always have the same problem - not enough wood to fill the spaces and that's why I do it in part. But for this ship, I patiently bought a package of basswood once a month and filled all the spaces)))
Очень очень круто!!!! Не думал что женщины увлекаются карабельным моделизмом, весьма приятно удивлён! Творческих вам успехов!!! Подписался на канал!!!!!
Thank you very much! Apparently before the planking, there will be another video about the preparation for this process. I also need to prepare all the parts of backbone!
Very nice work. That is going to give you a near perfect substrate for applying the planking. 👍👍 I used to work on card stock ship models. One build was a scratchbuilt design I was doing for an online contest run by Dimitri at Digital Navy. To fill the spaces in the ships framing I used pink insulation foam.
Olga, I am in awe of your skill set and attention to every little detail on each of your builds. Besides giving you freedom in anchoring hull planking, would you please share any other thoughts on why you prefer to fill the cavities between hull bulkheads? And, may I add, I hope 2022 is a great year for you and your family.
Thank you very much! But this is really only for the perfect planking! This not only facilitates the planking process, but also prevents deformation of the planks from changes in humidity, especially on such a large hull. This is a very boring job, but if you do not do it you will always regret just looking at the model. Now I live in a very humid climate and see my two models, that even for small hulls in this area I need to completely fill the space!
Your skills, knowledge, and techniques are inspiring. It's been ten years since the last ship I've built. After watching the first three videos of this build, today I started my next build. Keep the videos coming. Oh sorry, I'm not subscribed... And now that's corrected.
Olha, Thanks for explaining why the fill in between all your bulkheads! I am building the Artetestiana Latina Bluenose as my first wood ship model and I wondered why I needed a second layer of planking. Is there a Top Hamper to the USS Confederacy? Or is it just a Hull Model?
Congratulations on your work ......I love to do this too .....I'm in Brazil .....I've already signed up ....I'm going to try to make one like it ......God bless you
awesome job !!! I was delighted to see it !!! I would like to try to do it !! but I don't have all these tools. I repeat, precious work. !! с новым годом 2022 !!! Feliz año 2022 !!!!
To think back in the wooden ship building days these were made completely by hand, no power tools, and no laser cut parts. I know I would not want to do it that way, tough enough even WITH power tools. I can never seem to get past the hull into planking. I have only one hull fully planked, and it looks like crap. Started a Victory and got to the planking stage and of course messed up the lines for the setting planks. The only one I have built that actually is looking good is a Dumas Chris Craft, i'll leave doing the classics to those who can build. Amazing work here .
Thank you very much! I know that feeling with planking! On my VICTORY, I probably tore off the planks three times and started over, oh no - I finished her first planking on the 4th try! So with that hull, the iron was my best friend))) And probably a whole bottle of PVA was spent there!
@@OlhaBatchvarov I made the mistake of using CA. No going back with that unless I soak the whole thing in Acetone. :( Live and learn, they are nothing like building an RC airplane. LOL
Olha, que trabalheira!... Ficou ótimo e muito bem estruturado. Gostei muito. " The sky's the limit so have your happiest new year yet! HAPPY NEW YEAR".
Very good! I understand why. But I’ve never fully filled a hull prior to planking. I do see several advantages to planking a basically solid hull. Your videos are great. But can you explain why you make this step? As you know, I have this kit in my shop. It is not next, but I am considering filling hulls with my next build Niagara from Model Shipways. Confederacy may be next… THANK YOU OLHA!!
Thank you very much! This not only facilitates the planking process, but also prevents deformation of the planks from changes in humidity, especially on such a large hull. This is a very boring job, but if you do not do it you will always regret just looking at the model. Now I live in a very humid climate and can see on my two models, that even for small hulls in this area I need to completely fill the space!
Hello Olha. I am very impressed with your work. You are my inspiration! A question: what size of wood blocks did you buy to make the filling pieces between bulkheads, and where did you get it? Thank you in advance
This model is with single-layer planking. So when filling the spaces, the main goal is to prepare the perfect surface for planking. But I also increase the gluing area, simplify the marking for the planks, have the ability to bend the planks directly on the hull with a soldering iron and nail (or clamp) where I need to and not just on the frames...
Oh oh now I need a scroll saw! Did Model Shipways instruct filling the hull with solid wood? I did this on their Niagara, did not like the idea of complex single planking. Some day I need to finish that ship, it is actually a very hard kit, lots of real fabrication.
This is a similar technique as in most of their kits. And the same single planking. But I will use hard wood and bending the planks with a soldering iron directly on the hull, so I definitely need to fill the spaces...
Another great video! I was wondering why the saw blade on your table saw appears to be offset on the arbor? It looked a little scary when you turned the saw off and the blade rotation became easy to see.
@@OlhaBatchvarov Like Capt. RD, I think the blade on your circular saw isn't mounted correctly. It appears to not be seated properly on the shaft and is off centre - it could come loose, which would be very dangerous. You should also find it cuts a lot better when it is seated correctly, too. If this is how the saw was when you received it, then it wasn't set p correctly at the factory. Your videos and your ship builds are magnificent!
Great build. I have a question. Why did you make a "solid " hull as opposed to frame and plank? I understand it would be more solid ( and heavy), but did the blocks really make it easier to cover?
Thank you very much! There are many advantages to this! The most important thing is that it will make the planking process 10 times easier. You can bend the planks with a soldering iron right on the hull and also nail the clamps where you need! Secondly, you will get a perfectly flat surface and it will not deform over time (usually after a few years the location of the bulkheads and the concavities between them become visible).
its likely I would have gone with styrofoam instead of basswood. both are light and easy to work into shape but one is cheaper. maybe its the hammered in notion from back when I was studying carpentry "if it doesnt show it doesnt matter." but as a miniature modeler I gotta respect the lengths of effort taken with the ship.
I use foam for small models that are planked with veneer. But for such a large hull, it is better to use linden or basswood, because I will bend the boards with a soldering iron directly on the hull. That's something you can't do on a hull with foam.
Thank you! This is 4'' Table Saw - Byrnes Model Machines I will put a link in the next comment on the video about it, if TH-cam does not block. There is a seller in the description under the video!
Wonderful job. I've enjoyed all your videos. Your skill as a shipwright is amazing. Have you ever tried dry wall compound to fill low spots on the hull? Sands so much easier than Bondo.
Thank you very much! This putty is the most suitable of all that I have tried. And I'm sure with it that my layer of boards will not come off the hull together with the putty.
Aloha Ohla! You've got mad skills working with the wood blocks and shaping and cutting tools. Awesome job, seriously, However I do have one question as to why you wouldn't have wanted to use Bass sheets instead of the blocks? Seems like you went above and beyond in composing the sections, shaping and cutting and then giving everything that final blending. Don't get me wrong, and again, GREAT JOB, but I wonder if maybe your life wudda been a bit easier should you have used the 1/8" ( sorry don't know the metric ) sheets instead? Last question, for now, is how long did it take you to get to this point overall???? Again, love the job you did, and curious to the difference of technique install. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2022!!! Be well, and hope to catch more of what you do. :) Your virtual fan, SammyC ;) ;)
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too! I found only such blocks. And it's hard to say how long - because I was running out of wood all the time. So there are 4 months between releases but I think it is possible to do this amount in 2 weeks!
Increíble trabajo como siempre! Una pregunta cuanto ya pesa el modelo después de este proceso? Que empieces bien el año y que sea con mucha salud y trabajo. Saludos desde Florida, Buenos Aires - Argentina 🇦🇷
Muchos gracias! El hecho es que desde el principio el modelo utilizó madera contrachapada muy pesada para el esqueleto! Corté el exceso de madera tanto como sea posible, para que el cuerpo no agregue mucho peso)))
At the moment, I'm cutting the planks for this ship, as I'm going to replace those that come from the basswood in the KIT with the precious wood. And when I make the planking, I will publish the next video - it's a big model and takes a lot of time...
I can't count the time clearly for this ship because it's too big and I run out of wood all the time - so I just spend more time waiting for materials than building her. I think if I built her every day it would take at least four months! And in fact - I opened the box with the kit a year ago)))

I'm late to the show. Why the vertical planks in the middle of the hull ? Great watch !!

This is the frames. This part of the hull will not be planked to show the actual number of frames!

Another great video! I was wondering why the saw blade on your table saw appears to be offset on the arbor? It looked a little scary when you turned the saw off and the blade rotation became easy to see.
Thank you very much!
It was created by the manufacturer - I'm used to this location!
@@OlhaBatchvarov Like Capt. RD, I think the blade on your circular saw isn't mounted correctly. It appears to not be seated properly on the shaft and is off centre - it could come loose, which would be very dangerous. You should also find it cuts a lot better when it is seated correctly, too. If this is how the saw was when you received it, then it wasn't set p correctly at the factory.
Your videos and your ship builds are magnificent!
Great build. I have a question.
Why did you make a "solid " hull as opposed to frame and plank? I understand it would be more solid ( and heavy), but did the blocks really make it easier to cover?
Thank you very much!
There are many advantages to this! The most important thing is that it will make the planking process 10 times easier. You can bend the planks with a soldering iron right on the hull and also nail the clamps where you need!
Secondly, you will get a perfectly flat surface and it will not deform over time (usually after a few years the location of the bulkheads and the concavities between them become visible).
Have you ever built any steam sloops like the USS Kearsarge or the CSS Alabama.
Not yet)))) but I really like Alabama!
its likely I would have gone with styrofoam instead of basswood.
both are light and easy to work into shape but one is cheaper.
maybe its the hammered in notion from back when I was studying carpentry "if it doesnt show it doesnt matter."
but as a miniature modeler I gotta respect the lengths of effort taken with the ship.
I use foam for small models that are planked with veneer. But for such a large hull, it is better to use linden or basswood, because I will bend the boards with a soldering iron directly on the hull. That's something you can't do on a hull with foam.
@@OlhaBatchvarov I didnt consider that, then it certainly makes sense to use a material that doesnt instantly melt or burn.
Very nice , what is the brand and model of your table saw ?
Thank you!
This is 4'' Table Saw - Byrnes Model Machines
I will put a link in the next comment on the video about it, if TH-cam does not block. There is a seller in the description under the video!

@@OlhaBatchvarov thank you , it look a very good saw
Wonderful job. I've enjoyed all your videos. Your skill as a shipwright is amazing. Have you ever tried dry wall compound to fill low spots on the hull? Sands so much easier than Bondo.
Thank you very much!
This putty is the most suitable of all that I have tried. And I'm sure with it that my layer of boards will not come off the hull together with the putty.
Aloha Ohla! You've got mad skills working with the wood blocks and shaping and cutting tools. Awesome job, seriously, However I do have one question as to why you wouldn't have wanted to use Bass sheets instead of the blocks? Seems like you went above and beyond in composing the sections, shaping and cutting and then giving everything that final blending. Don't get me wrong, and again, GREAT JOB, but I wonder if maybe your life wudda been a bit easier should you have used the 1/8" ( sorry don't know the metric ) sheets instead? Last question, for now, is how long did it take you to get to this point overall???? Again, love the job you did, and curious to the difference of technique install. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2022!!! Be well, and hope to catch more of what you do. :) Your virtual fan, SammyC ;) ;)
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too!
I found only such blocks. And it's hard to say how long - because I was running out of wood all the time. So there are 4 months between releases but I think it is possible to do this amount in 2 weeks!
Thx for your reply Olha. No matter what, GREAT job. Will be looking for more. Hugz and best wishes always. Yours SammyC
Bravo Zulu.
Thank you!
Increíble trabajo como siempre! Una pregunta cuanto ya pesa el modelo después de este proceso?
Que empieces bien el año y que sea con mucha salud y trabajo. Saludos desde Florida, Buenos Aires - Argentina 🇦🇷
Y por supuesto con muchas más modelos por armar! 🥂
Muchos gracias!
El hecho es que desde el principio el modelo utilizó madera contrachapada muy pesada para el esqueleto! Corté el exceso de madera tanto como sea posible, para que el cuerpo no agregue mucho peso)))
Gracias!
How often do you post and where are you going to work on the confederacy again?
At the moment, I'm cutting the planks for this ship, as I'm going to replace those that come from the basswood in the KIT with the precious wood. And when I make the planking, I will publish the next video - it's a big model and takes a lot of time...
How many hours, days, weeks or months would it take to build this? How long did it take you?
I can't count the time clearly for this ship because it's too big and I run out of wood all the time - so I just spend more time waiting for materials than building her. I think if I built her every day it would take at least four months! And in fact - I opened the box with the kit a year ago)))
