Trabaccolo [WAK] - just for some practice

[Don Boose]

It's a very good-looking model. The earlier one was good, too, but I can see the improvement.

Congratulations on completing this project.

Hi Tomek,

it will be really nice, if you can show your way of making the hulls. There must be a trick to get such fune hulls without "Stressed skin".

Very fine model.

Your blocks, pulleys, and deadeyes -- paper?

The small ship and so many positive comments! Thank you all.
The model won a prize yesterday (03.12.2017) during Papermodel Competition in Gołąb.

@Sakrison@
Blocks and deadeyes are made of wood, unfortunately. Only lowest deadeyes are made of cardboard. I design models and test them so I often use ready-made parts to save time.

@Christian@
You are not the only one who suspects me of sorcery There is no trick. Planks must be shaped "in hands" not on the hull. If you curve a plank on the hull it will break and show frames/ribs/stressed skin. The plank should fit the shape of the hull without glue. And I put glue only in places, where planks touch the hull, not on the whole surface. If you give the correct shape to the planks you can even glue neighboring ones together along the edge.
Because this question comes to me regulary I think about making a short instruction on youtube:-))) Maybe when I start making next model?

Best
