philo426 Posted October 19, 2018 Author Share #4 Posted October 19, 2018 (edited) After the blue dries,I will apply a 1/8" piece if blue 3M masking tape to the hull followed by a couple coats of orange. Negative mask works well for me! Edited October 19, 2018 by philo426 coxswain and popeye the sailor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popeye the sailor Posted October 19, 2018 Share #5 Posted October 19, 2018 nice........looks like the hull was well done hopefully you got all the parts to finish her. I haven't ordered this one yet........but I have been tempted to. being a Billing Boats nut.........I'd love to follow along. if you can, try to break the rub rail free at the bow and drop it down equally along the bulwarks........only thing I would change Quote I yam wot I yam! finished builds: Billings Nordkap 476 / Billings Cux 87 / Billings Mary Ann / Billings AmericA - reissue Billings Regina - bashed into the Susan A / Andrea Gail 1:20 - semi scratch w/ Billing instructions M&M Fun Ship - semi scratch build / Gundalow - scratch build / Jeanne D'Arc - Heller Phylly C & Denny-Zen - the Lobsie twins - bashed & semi scratch dual build Billing T78 Norden in dry dock: Billing's Gothenborg 1:100 / Billing's Boulogne Etaples 1:20 Billing's Half Moon 1:40 - some scratch required Revell U.S.S.

popeye the sailor Posted October 31, 2018 Share #14 Posted October 31, 2018 your doing some interesting work on this one the vents are a nice touch.........you probably should add two bob stays from the dolphin striker that will locate to each side of the bow. they will complete the support for when you do the fore stays. do you have all the plans for her? if your missing either of them, they can be downloaded from Billing USA http://www.billingboatsusa.com/ Quote I yam wot I yam! finished builds: Billings Nordkap 476 / Billings Cux 87 / Billings Mary Ann / Billings AmericA - reissue Billings Regina - bashed into the Susan A / Andrea Gail 1:20 - semi scratch w/ Billing instructions M&M Fun Ship - semi scratch build / Gundalow - scratch build / Jeanne D'Arc - Heller Phylly C & Denny-Zen - the Lobsie twins - bashed & semi scratch dual build Billing T78 Norden in dry dock: Billing's Gothenborg 1:100 / Billing's Boulogne Etaples 1:20 Billing's Half Moon 1:40 - some scratch required Revell U.S.S.

popeye the sailor Posted October 31, 2018 Share #16 Posted October 31, 2018 there is a rigging diagram sheet......it shows the two bob stays for the bow stem and the ones I mentioned that locate on each side of the bow. there is also a pair on each side to keep lateral movement in check.

popeye the sailor Posted November 8, 2018 Share #24 Posted November 8, 2018 the ship's boats can be done either way. if you leave them like this, you could do the rigging for the davits and tie them off to cleats, affixed to either the bulwarks or the cap rails. to create the pulley assembly, rig two blocks with hooks on them and attach them to eye bolts on the cap rails. on some boats or ships, you might even see them in an X pattern. she's look'in really good Quote I yam wot I yam! finished builds: Billings Nordkap 476 / Billings Cux 87 / Billings Mary Ann / Billings AmericA - reissue Billings Regina - bashed into the Susan A / Andrea Gail 1:20 - semi scratch w/ Billing instructions M&M Fun Ship - semi scratch build / Gundalow - scratch build / Jeanne D'Arc - Heller Phylly C & Denny-Zen - the Lobsie twins - bashed & semi scratch dual build Billing T78 Norden in dry dock: Billing's Gothenborg 1:100 / Billing's Boulogne Etaples 1:20 Billing's Half Moon 1:40 - some scratch required Revell U.S.S.
