You can nicely see the difference between waxed main deck and forecastle deck before waxing on this picture.
I agree with Marslav with the colors of wood. It looks amazing!

Hi guys,
Actually no update on AVOS but I wanted to share thi video (and whole series) of the restauration of TalyHo. In this episode they are finishing planking and I love it so so much!
The whole series is here. I really recommend watching it as there are many valuable "how to" explanations even for us, modellers.

Enjoy.

Greetings,
After a long brake the cold weather came to our area which could (I hope) give me some time for ships.
There is not much missing on AVOS. rope coils on the cleats and flag. Possibly I add some small details.
I have started with coils. First attempts after the brake. I guess I would need some warm up to get up to speed again.

@Peta_V I tryie to see what size and shape of wood you have used for the waterway, but either the resolution of the pictures doesnt allow me, or you havent used any, it looks like the inner walls flush directly on the deck planking. Is that so?
Christos
Hi, there is no waterway, Panart made it much more simple.
@Ciciak35 those are from Czech shop https://www.hismodel.com/articles-category-1

Absolutely beautiful. This is a very inspirational build. Thank your for sharing your construction methods.
I hope you don't mind if we share your build log with our customers. Sharing the link, at least.
No problem at all. I'm glad you like it and perhaps my log helps someone else. I like it!

Thanks Chris, I just found them online sold separately. Just got the ruler out now, to see if one would fit my model!
MK do more sizes. I think they have 3 different mini kits in 1/72 scale.

Whatever it is, it sure is beautiful with the poly on it.
I'm almost sure it is pear. MK is using pear for their finish of "High-end" kits.

The planking looks perfect! Will follow your progress with interest

I am just over two weeks into the construction of this model and your photographs are a total inspiration for me. Thank you.
Chris
I would love to see your build. I am actually really suprised that there aren't much more building logs of this kit. It is such a great kit for reasonable price I would say! I hope you share your progress with MSW group. If you would need any of help, I'm happy to try.
@yvesvidal @Edwardkenway @JpR62 thank you guys for your kind comments, really appreciated!
Also thanks for all the likes!

@Justin P. Yes, the line is attached to the pin with "8-style" knot (same as in reality) then cut and the eye of the coil goes over the knot. CA glue is used to simulate some weight.
In 1/72 scale (which is my AVOS) everything is so tiny that it would not be podsible to do it on the same line. (I'm having problems only hang the coils on some places on fully rigged model)!

That's a great technique, Peta. I hope you won't mind that I copied your last post and made a separate entry for it in the Masting & Rigging subforum. That way it can be more easily found by folks searching for help with this particular task.
Cheers!
Sure, no problem!

Here is a short guide, how I do coils.
I have a jig from the scrap wood with 3 removable pins (2,3,5) and 3 securing points (1,4,6).
1. Secure the line to point 1 and make several loops around pins 2 and 3. I do 4-6 loops so the coils does not look similar. (I start with removed pin 5). Once finished with loops secure the other end to point 4.
2. Unsecure line from point 1 and pull out the very first loop through the middle of the coil.
3. Now you have to twist this to form the eye and secure it with pin 5.
4. Remove pin 2 and fully insert pin 5. Now you can adjust the coil as you want a once happy secure the end to point 6.
5. Now I secure the coil with 3 drops of CA glue. One where the eye meets coil, second ať the bottom of the coil and third to secure the loose end to the coil. Remove the coil from the jig by removing pin 5 and trim the excess thread.
6. Place the coil on the deck
Perhaps someone finds it usefull.
Stay healthy!
