Gluing 101
latestarter replied to CPT_D's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
I live out in the sticks in the middle of nowhere. I can get 99.9% alcohol in abundance, would that break down PVA glue? -
Gluing 101
latestarter replied to CPT_D's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
I have just started a new build and I have discovered one of the early bulkheads has been knocked slightly to one side ( an over enthusuastic grandson) I was using PVA glue, how can it be removed to re-position it correctly? -
Some great models there so I am really looking forward to your latest project, I can see how it will work!

Has anybody bult these kits by Caldercraft? HMn Jalouse or HM Brig Supply, if you have could you give an opinion please? Things like ease of building, kit quality etc.

Ballahoo was my first and only wooden build to date and I was quite pleased withit, but when I see some of the quality on here I feel like throwing it on the fire and taking up stamp collecting!

I have always been fascinated by the ships of this period and especially the Victory, I have made the journey several times to tour her. It would be my greatest joy to attempt the build, but alas I came to this hobby far too late in my life and I am not sure if I have enough years remaining to complete this great venture. Now I will restrict my pleasure to dreaming of what might have been and reading the great logs of the fantastic builds of this ultimate model.

I'm thinking of this as my next build, the more I see of this one the more I like it, I will use this build as my goal.

I am interested in buiding a section model of HMS Victory. I would welcome any information dealing with best kit, degree of difficulty, accuracy of model etc. etc.

I take the point, but to get all the top deadeyes in a level row is no easy job either. And a man like myself with large hands finds it very 'fiddling' to reeve them in position
-
What would be against reeving the deadeyes before putting them in position then taking the shrouds from there, that way there is only one task in situ rather than reeving the deadeyes in position.

Deck planking
latestarter replied to latestarter's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
Thank you, actually that did occur to me, but it is good to be confirmed by the voice of experience. I am learning a lot from you guys! -
This will be my next project, can you please explain how you determined the position of the bearding line. It is things like this that puzzle and baffle me.

Stern Post
latestarter replied to latestarter's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
Thank you for this info, I can see the merits of doing this and it is something I shall consider on my next build. It is things like this that I like to know about rather than just blindly staggering on. Already pleased to have joined this forum. -
I am a complete novice, so to gain theoretical experience I have read several logs. Some modellers seem to leave the stern post until after the planking is complete, I would have thought it was a reminder of where the planks should finish, please what am I missing here and what are the advantages/diasadvantages?
