Solö Ruff by Nirvana - Nordic Class Boats - 1:10 scale


Recommended Posts

Another thing I will change and hopefully I will be able to this with a simple drill-lathe.

The included wheel needs to much of work to make it look like one.

 

Look at the included wheel and what I like to strive for.

And the real thing.

Then the current state of my simulated frames. Even though they will be covered up by the grating.

Mike,

I think there will be several trials before I have somewhat of a decent wheel.

But yes, the included wheel is already out of the picture.

Since I am not happy with the grating provided in the kit, I wondered what to do.

Today I spent half an hour at my local "second hand shop", and found a sheet of veneer, to my surprise mahogany.

It was thin to, so 50 cents later I had it in my hand and this came useful today.

It's perfect for the grating and making strips out of.

Sadly I don't have any mini table saw, so I used my Japanese fine saw and ripped the sheet.

One picture shows the strip in the boat

the other how it takes varnish.

Sanding varnish - sanding varnish and many more times will make the wood luster.

 

Edit: I am to experiment to make some plywood of this material and try making the steering wheel.

Looks wonderful Per. Nothing like finished mahogany. You might try some stain sealer first if you have some.

Hi Per. Just catching up. This is an interesting build, I really like this kind of boat! But I would probably have given up after that earlier mistake...btw: How did you unglue the wood?

Hej Niklas och välkommen ombord på Solö,

Hi Niklas and welcome on-board on Solö¨.

 

I used 90% Aceton (nail-polish remover) to un-glue the CA. That along with the 11 blade X-acto for cutting. It was a tedious job but well rewarded.

Mike,

I have stain sealer so that would help out, thank you for the recommendation.

At least this time I don't have to worry about any shiny finish on my model.....:)

Keith,

I am light years behind in skills versus you and your Altair, but you are the one inspiring me to manufacture  a new steering wheel.

As I stated earlier, probably gonna take several trials.

Welcome onboard my journey with this Swedish boat.
