Tigersteve Posted December 3, 2016 Share #284 Posted December 3, 2016 Nirvana- I think you are right about our sole two longboats. I'm sure once they're finished there will come a new builder. This project is a good lure for a beginner because of its price point and nice looking finished model. I'm liking the brass unblackened. I'm in process of constructing the thwarts. Not adding the grooves. They didn't add much to my model and will look better without.

cobra1951 Posted December 3, 2016 Share #288 Posted December 3, 2016 I would go with the natural brass look too. but coat it with clear varnish to keep it shiny Canute, CaptainSteve, mtaylor and 1 other 4 Quote Bob Current Build HMB Endeavour - Occre 1:54 Completed Builds Section Deck Between Gun Bays - Panart 1:23 scale....x 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cathead Posted December 3, 2016 Share #289 Posted December 3, 2016 I, too, think the brass is preferable, given that it's a closer match to the common yellowish tones of the boat as you've built it. If I were to use the same material for my boat, which is in a white and black color scheme, I'd probably go with blackened, once again to best match the color overall.

Nirvana Posted February 16, 2017 Author Share #291 Posted February 16, 2017 So after a while, little more than a month I am back at the table. In conjuction with downsizing of the house, (2700sq.ft and 4 bedrooms were to much for the Admiral and me) and a recent move I lost the stand intended for the Longboat. But it doesn't matter. I have a stand now, and using 1/16" brass rod to lift the longboat. They are not put together yet. However, I think this looks fairly good. Question, should I leave the base untouched or should I varnish it? Jack12477, Ryland Craze, Angarfather and 6 others 9 Quote Please, visit our Facebook page!

Nirvana Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share #297 Posted February 18, 2017 Thanks Mike, Yes I can feel the ending of the longboat is getting closer. It's been a journey, with loosing small parts Experimenting with varnish blends, thinking outside of the box, utilizing new type of material. I would say considering most of the material is boxwood, this became a very semi-scratch build. By Thor and Oden (yes, I am Swedish), it's been three years.

Cathead Posted February 18, 2017 Share #299 Posted February 18, 2017 I'd say finish the base to match the wood in the model; otherwise the raw wood just looks unfinished and clashes a bit.
