mobbsie Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share #191 Posted April 13, 2013 Hi Guys, As promised a quick update on progress so-far. Quarter galleries are finished apart from a little bit of rubbing down, I didnt quite get the angles right so I've had to use a bit of filler but once she's rubbed down and painted up she will be good. Frames are still to go on after painting. Roundhouse bulkhead completed and painted but I dont want to fit it just yet. Started on the second planking, at least I have 1 plank at the stem on each side, not much but it's a start, I decided to go with the scale planks in the end. I know that there should be at least 3 planks between butt joints but I'm working on 2, I'm working on a plank length of 119mm and to get a 3 butt planking pattern I will have to cut 30mm planks at the stem and stern, that doesnt seem long enough to me, it's not too late to change so perhaps you could let me know what you think. Some Pics First gallery in place Part two fitted I'm glad I've still got some filler One complete roundhouse and the first 2 planks dry fitted Both quarter galleries Port gallery Floors were painted in a force 8 gale So there we are again, right up to date. mobbsie augie, gieb8688 and realworkingsailor 3 Quote mobbsie All mistakes are deliberate ( me ) Current Build:- HMS Schooner Pickle Completed Builds :- Panart 1/16 Armed Launch / Pinnace ( Completed ), Granado Cross Section 1/48 Harwich Bawley, Restoration, Thames Barge Edme, Repair / Restoration, Will Everard 1/67 Billings HMS Agamemnon 1781 - 1/64 Caldercraft Kit, HM Brig Badger, HM Bomb Vessel Granado, Thames Steam Launch Louise, Thames Barge Edme, Viking Dragon Boat Next Build :- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobbsie Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share #206 Posted April 15, 2013 Hi Guys, My god Jim, if I had one that big I'd be well happy, and yes he who has 14 guns in a very small area is an ally. Sjors, to answer your question, yes the bulkhead is painted, French blue and then flattened down with matt varnish. Grant, Popeye, Kevin, Frank thanks for the kind words gents. 2nd planking continues though at a slow rate, domestic tasks have raised their heads, I blame Sjors, had to get the pressure washer out and do the patio, only the front to do now. I'm using CA to glue the planks on and though it is easier using scale planks the glue sticks like you know what to a blanket, you have to be so carefull to get it right first time, even with the thick stuff, very little time is given for corrections, fortunately I'm planking an area that will be covered up by the wales although it does'nt look to bad. I'll do a bit more planking before I post any pics. mobbsie trippwj 1 Quote mobbsie All mistakes are deliberate ( me ) Current Build:- HMS Schooner Pickle Completed Builds :- Panart 1/16 Armed Launch / Pinnace ( Completed ), Granado Cross Section 1/48 Harwich Bawley, Restoration, Thames Barge Edme, Repair / Restoration, Will Everard 1/67 Billings HMS Agamemnon 1781 - 1/64 Caldercraft Kit, HM Brig Badger, HM Bomb Vessel Granado, Thames Steam Launch Louise, Thames Barge Edme, Viking Dragon Boat Next Build :- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjdale Posted April 15, 2013 Share #208 Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) Hi Mobbsie, I'm curious as to why you are using CA for your second planking. As you know, I (like many others) hate using CA at all. It's been a long time since I did my second planking, but I seem to recall using a rubber contact cement - paint it on the hull, paint it on a plank, then join. My recollection is that it is fairly forgiving to use and progress was extremely fast. Just a thought for you my friend...
