Greg the peg leg sailor Posted July 1, 2015 Share #63 Posted July 1, 2015 Awatabeauty! She's looking great, a flawless piece of planking. Well done! Your hard effort wasn't waisted in the result.

marsalv Posted July 5, 2015 Author Share #64 Posted July 5, 2015 Thank you Greg. Although it is not historically accurate, I decided to leave the hull without copper plating. On the other hand, the whole hull will be with treenails. So I started the "mass" production of the pins (about 8,000 pieces). rtropp, zoly99sask, wyz and 19 others 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg the peg leg sailor Posted July 6, 2015 Share #66 Posted July 6, 2015 G'day Marsalv You are working hard to make the "sawdust". It would drive me crazzzzy to make them! Did you say 8000? Wow that's a lot of treenails! After that is done, you have to drill the hull and then place them! See you in a few months at least. havagoodtime my mate!

rtropp Posted July 11, 2015 Share #69 Posted July 11, 2015 OK, silly question: The treenails look like they are still attached at the bottom. How are you removing them from the wooden block.

marsalv Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share #70 Posted July 14, 2015 Thanks to all. The idea for making treenails with needle is not mine, I learned this method from russian modelers . To rtropp: see enclosed picture - front side of the block with treenail is covered with masking tape, block is cuted off with saw. After removing tape you can easily eject treenails from the block. After endless hours I finished the hull treenailing. Result will be more visible after waxing. dvm27, sparrow, janos and 16 others 18 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg the peg leg sailor Posted July 14, 2015 Share #72 Posted July 14, 2015 Great idea about the treenails. And the hull looks great. Did you say after hours? Or do you mean days? Lovit.

marsalv Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share #73 Posted August 5, 2015 Thanks Greg, you are right - not hours but days . I finished the first part of planking above wales. This part will not be colored, so I used here the treenails. Omega1234, PeteB, Archi and 13 others 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wyz Posted August 7, 2015 Share #75 Posted August 7, 2015 Marsalv This is the first time I've peeked into your Pandora build log, and I have to say I'm impressed with your start. I will surely follow along. The Porcupine class vessels really do have nice lines. It's too bad there aren't any drawings showing more than minimal stern decorations of those ships as completed.

druxey Posted August 29, 2015 Share #83 Posted August 29, 2015 I notice you've left gaps in the planking for the rails. You may find bending them around the bow difficult. Usually the rails are applied over the planking: much easier to bend. Your model looks terrific so far. mtaylor, Mike Y, Erebus and Terror and 1 other 4 Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
