UpstateNY Posted August 28, 2015 Share #1864 Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) Hi Augie, Lovely work as always and great idea to leave both sides partially open to allow viewing from either side. Should also allow more light down to the lower deck so the details will be more visible. Great to see you back in the shipyard! Cheers, Nigel.

augie Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share #1867 Posted September 8, 2015 Just a quick update this time around. The planking of the foredeck has been completed. The waterways, margin planks and planking are Swiss Pear supplied by Jeff. Only the port side has been planked to allow viewing the gundeck below. I used my usual hooked scarph joints where the planking meets the margins: Next up will be to treenail this deck (drill and fill) and apply the finish before we proceed with additional foredeck details. riverboat, Bobstrake, KenW and 32 others 35 Quote Augie Current Build: US Frigate Confederacy - MS 1:64 Previous Builds : US Brig Syren (MS) - 2013 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Greek Tug Ulises (OcCre) - 2009 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Victory Cross Section (Corel) - 1988 Essex (MS) 1/8"- 1976 Cutty Sark (Revell 1:96) - 1956 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobbsie Posted September 12, 2015 Share #1883 Posted September 12, 2015 Hi Augie, Just checking in after my hols. The deck planking looks absolutely fantastic mate, I think the slight difference in colour of each plank enhances the overall look. I do like the idea of half decking, you've made a great job on the details below deck and it would be a travesty to cover it completely. Well done mate.

augie Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share #1885 Posted September 14, 2015 Hello Robb. Thanks for the nice words. Jeff was the owner of Hobby Mill. He retired last year and closed up shop. My understanding is that Crown Timberyard (an MSW sponsor .. see home page for advertisement) has become a very capable replacement source. I haven't personally tried them yet but wouldn't hesitate for a second.

augie Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share #1886 Posted September 15, 2015 The planking on the foredeck has been completed with the addition of the treenails (drill and fill method) and the finish applied. The belfrey and it's railing have also been completed. I left this mostly in natural finish to complement the similar railing on the quarterdeck. Here are a couple of views: Now it's easy to see the alternating open decking areas fore/aft. Next shall be the fabrication/installation of some head timbers and the catheads. The cats are quite large and require some 'surgery' to install so I'll be moving slowly ---- only get one shot at this. Cutting slots in the finished hull is not my forte.
