    Lightship Ambrose - Free Model Competition

    Hello. There is something new. In the middle of the job I decided to paint it. The result is good but not on the windows. Here is the picture of the same detail from my first Ambrose. You can see that there is some progress.

    Here is the hull. It's almost finished. It still needs some work but for now is OK.

    Lightship Ambrose - Free Model Competition

    To miguelj and others that think that my first version of Ambrose was not so bad here are some macro pictures of it. You have to click and see the bigger version to see. I don't know if I'm able to do any better in my second version but I will try.

    Lightship Ambrose - Free Model Competition

    I knew that I use wrong words for everything. I'm not a seaman so I don't know the right name for all things on the ship (even in polish). From other hand there is only 13 days left in the competition and writing descriptions for everything takes time. So I will make more pictures and put them...

    Lightship Ambrose - Free Model Competition

    miguelj: I didn't like the first version because all the parts were twisted some way. When I find some time and there will be good light I will make some macro shots of it. Ambrose is a small model but quite difficult because of very small parts. I will try to do more pictures to show how...

    Lightship Ambrose - Free Model Competition

    Next part of the story. I was building the deck. This is not so easy because I wanted to make it more realistic. First I had to cut out the outer border (this part that is not made from wood). This was easy but to glue the very narrow border to the hull was quite complicated so I will show...

    Lightship Ambrose - Free Model Competition

    I made some modification to the original Ambrose model which I want to explain here. The problem with all paper models are the black lines than mark the places to cut or fold the paper. I decided that I will print the lines on the back of the paper. I had to modify the original PDF's. I don't...
