Jack12477 got a reaction from tasmanian in Marie Jeanne by Jack12477 - FINISHED - Artesania Latina - 1:50 scale
Update:
Moving on, I decided to skip the numbered steps and do things out of sequence. The small boat that sits above the deck was next - the parts list said it was wood preformed boat to be planked with 0.6 mm walnut/mahogany veneer - turns out the made some changes without updating the parts lists - the preformed boat is diecast white metal and quite heavy. In 20-20 hindsight I should have grabbed the cans of model spray paint and just painted it but I followed the plans and planked it. Had to used Medium gap filling CA. Photos follow :
Of course it also came with a pre-cast metal rudder assemby and the pivots were pre-cast on the boats stern so some of the wood trip, like the stern post, could not be added.
After completing the deck boat, I moved on to the hatches, which seemed like a simple task at first. But trying to read the "picture book" was challenging. After cutting out the 4 pieces that made up the front, back and sides, the challenge was to determine if the sides go inside the front and back strips or outside the front and back strips. Well made a mistake twice and had to get out the isopropyl. Also determining where to place the roof rail(s) was a fun challenge. Old eyes don't focus too well on picture that show the item at an angle rather than straight on.
Pictures of the finished hatches follow

The sails were pre-sewn and included in the kit. I did not have to sew them myself. But thanks for the compliment anyway, Per.

Small Update:
Added the Mainsail and Main Gaff topsail to model, spend several hours trying to determine where the Gaff topsail tack and sheet attached to the belay points - the rigging plans were very vague. Finally got it figured out and attached. Attached the boat rack and boat to deck. Rigged the anchor and chain and attached to capstan and into hole for chain locker.

Well, I finished the stern planking. I like the look – colors, etc. But the real work is just beginning. I’m going to try and use the die cast metal decoration. I filed the MS piece so it is thinner (about 1/16th of an inch). I will paint the die cast metal using the same techniques as I used on the figurehead. I added two pins to help hold up the metal decoration (it also makes it easier to work with). The bigger problem is that on Hahn plans, there is another piece of decoration behind the supplied metal one. There are also fashion pieces with decoration that need to be created. Since they aren’t supplied, I’m going to have to create/carve them both.

Looking lovely, Mike. Are you planning to pin the windlass to the deck as well?

Mike,
Now that you've finished sanding the deck, and applied a coat of WOP, your worries about any gaps between deck planking are definitely unfounded. Everything looks very tight and clean!

Just a small update. .
After applying a coat of W-O-P to the deck I decided that it was a good time to attach the windlass. The most important thing was to get the windlass centered and parallel to the other deck structures like the coaming directly behind it. Varying plank widths at the bow meant that I couldn't use those joints as an additional guide for alignment. With this in mind and not trusting my eye, I decided to make a jig. The jig was made from a stick ripped to the width of the distance from the coaming to the back of the windlass. Vertical pieces were then glued to the stick for the windlass to back up to. After heat bending the jig was I taped it down to the deck against the forward edge of the coaming. Aligning the windlass was a simple matter of centering it and backing it up to the jig while holding it down for a few minutes until the glue set.
Still need to clean up some of the dust remaining inside th ports.

Gracious! Step out for a week or so and miss a total revision to the concept! Looks nice, Denis. As noted by others, the whole world is watching and waiting anxiously to see what becomes of the that temptingly open and flat surface.......
