Hi Sjors.

I will give the popcorn a miss and watch this grow.

Laser cutting looks to be very good. And the parts fitting locks together very nicely.

Hello Martyn, Hennie, Edwin and Peter,

 

Welcome again......

There is enough popcorn for everyone !

 

@ Martyn,

 

You are allowed to follow  :D  :D  :D

 

@ Hennie,

 

Ok, Sergal.

And yes, I also want to finish the Aggy first but the wood smell is  going there own way.

Now I can switch between those 2.

 

@ Edwin,

 

I'didn't know that the smell was that big !

 

Anja is saying Hi to you and Urmilla.

Hope everything is allright there with you.

 

@ nenad,

 

Let the party begins !!!!!!

 

@ Peter,

 

Welcome !

Popcorn enough so take some.

And the quality of Agostini kits are really good.

But I have to wait till the end before I can say something about the whole kit ( or issues)

 

After cleaning the popcorn I have done something again.

The deck beams are on it and because you can push the beams down with almost no pressure, I have make under it another little beam.

Then I have glued the second deck.

Now I have to find out if this deck has getting planking or maybe there is a third one on top of it.

If I have to plank this deck i will do it before I'm planking the hull.

Otherwise first the hull and then another deck ?

I'll keep you posted !

 

Sjors

Looking good! 

 

I don't think I could use food as weights as my weights would constantly be getting lighter... :P

Thank you  :D  :D

 

It was the only way to put the deck down.

And you know, we builders can use everything what's in the house..... (with or without permission from our Admirals :P )

 

I have take a look at the manual and there is coming a third deck.

DeAgostini want me to paint the part of the deck ,what you see when you are looking from the third deck true the gratings, black.

I don't like that even if you have to take a look true the gratings to see the second deck.

So I think it is better to plank that part.

But then a second question....

The planking of the third deck should be a light color wood.

Shall I also take that for the part what you see or can I go with a darker planking ?

This is only for the second deck , gratings are above it !

So, painting or planking......

Time to go to bed for me and work tomorrow so please tell me your thoughts about it !!!!!!

I would plank the bottom deck at least where you could see under the grating. I think in the long run you will be happier knowing that it has been planked even if you can just barely see it. I typically only paint black where the space is completely false. All the decks below the upper gun deck on my Couronne build are completely false decks so any openings in the hull or deck are black. Everywhere else has been planked though very little is actually visible.

 

Also I would use the lighter wood. If you go that route you should be able to see it down through the gratings better than the darker. If you are going to put the effort into doing the extra work you may as well be able to see it and enjoy it. :)

Sjors,

 

I agree with E.J.   Go with a light wood as it will be dark enough on that second deck when you put on the third one.

Thanks for the advice.....E.J.& Mark,

 

It will be light planking on the lower deck.

Just paint the support for the dummy cannons ,so no update today.

 

@ Jack,

 

Welcome also.

 

And you are never to late.

You know, when I'm driving the bus into the centre of Rotterdam and I'm late because of the traffic or something else,then I've got this saying from some passengers...

Driver, you are to late !

My answer will be.....I'm never to late ,.only a little later.......

So you see Jack, never to late, just a little later.....

Here I'am again with a update :D:D

I have to otherwise Sam is yelling at me :angry:

 

I planked the second deck a little.

No treenail because you really don't see that.

I only made the caulkings with a black pencil.

I show you a picture with and without the deck.

The third deck is dry fit because it would take some time before it gets on the ship.

First I have hull planking to do.

 

That brings me to the wood that DeAgostini is providing with the issues.

It's bamboo and I never worked with that.

Some planks look like somenails went over it....

But I use that for the short pieces.

I'm curious how it will work.

Under the waterline should be painted white so no second planking.

 

We will see how it works.

 

Sjors

Planking those areas will make the model look a lot better. Good job on that.

 

That is rough looking wood. I was curious as to the quality of the lumber provided for the planking. That can be used for framing or areas that won't be seen but I hope the wood for the upper decks and the hull is a lot better.
