    now i need to make the rabbet/bearding line and is my first time to do it (my privius ship its of mamoli and ther is not bearding line )

    with the rattlesnake model its recomanded to glue the keel with the center keel befor cuting the rabbet line so i did it like it says on the constraction 

     

    i have all the tools from hobby knife til dremel... 

    but i not have a chisel and i cant find smal chisel in my cantry :( only from ebay but it will take a while until i will recive the order from the ebay

     

    please help 

    best regards

    Michael.

  2. Thank you all !

     

    I'm going to work on the rattlesnake of model shipways

    And now I'm checking the plans ...

     

    Hornet The block filler is to smal so I can't do as the tutorial it's will be very smal pices to work with...

     

    CaptainSteve can you explain me the steps again my English is not very well but it sounds interesting the guide that you wrote

    Also I didn't understand what you wrote about the levels (what levels mean?)

    Thank you

    Michael.

  3. hello Jan

    the frames are very bad cut

    even the drawing are not Symmetric :(

     

    Nigel but how can i know if the first and the last one are ok maybe they are  too high and the rest are ok?

    i don't know where to start , i was thinking to start from the middle I mean to work on 4-5 frames from the middle to Fill the frames with lime strip and than to go forward and backward is it sounds ok?

     
    thank you 
    Michael.
  4. thank you Antony and Nigel

     

    Nigel its not going to help me .... like you Sade even the plans are not symmetrical  

    for example frame 9 has 20 cm wide frame 10 has 19.8 wide and frame 11 has 20 cm wide so the solution is or to fill up frame 10 with 2 mm or to sand frames 9 and 11

     

    and to be honest if one side will be a bit fat from the other side even with 3-4 mm of different no buddy can see that in our case that the frames has 20 cm wide 

     

    my problem is only to make the frames level with the other frames at the same side then i will do the other side  

    thank you

    Michael.

  5. Hi thank you for the answer
    But I'm not worry about the center the different May be 1-2 mm for frame(and the frame have 20cm wide )
    My problem is only to level the frame with the other frames 

    i know how to do the basic fairing but im Afraid to make an error 

    if someone have pictures of the steps its will be grate

    thank you

    Michael.

  6. Hi Antony thank you
    I have no problem with the keel
    Like i sade they dident cut properly the frames at the factory

     

    about your way to firing its nice i did the same with my first kit but now im working on a very large ship

    may be i need to Divide the ship to 3 sections and to work part part....

    but im sure that there is a way to do it .. 

    thank you 

    Michael.

  7. hello

    i just start to work on the royal louis of mamoli 

    and there is a lotttttt of problems with the frames...

    so i glue them on 90 deg but they Still uneven 

     

     

    so far i got the deck leveled

    and 90 Degrees on the frame Against the kill  

    now i got left(to make level )the Bottom and the sides of the frames (they dident cut the frames properly in the factory !!!!!!!!! :angry: )

     

    for that i have to learn how to do the firing properly because i dont want to lose the forma of the ship i know that i will have to fill some frames also

     

    (because some of them they are out of the line and some of them not geting the line... )

     

    i dont know where to start and where to finish ... 

     

    so if you can Explain here in the forum or if you can give me a link for a tutorial i will be more than happy 

     

    thank you,

    Micharl.

     
     

  8. thank you all !!! 

    tomorrow i will get quote from Jim i hope the price of the shipping is not going to be expensive because in Israel we paying 18 precent tax for import 

     

    i hope to to write you tomorrow that I'm buying the byrnes table saw but if not i will go on the proxxon thank you for all your comments

    Michael.

  9. hello

    I have a few questions before I buy a table saw

    1 . can i cut strips from sheets by Proxxon (fet)

    2 . do i need to buy only mini saw for that work or maybe can i buy real table saw like bosch , makita , dewalt ect.

     

    i can't buy the byrnes table saw because I'm from israel and i tried lot of time to send email to hem but never received answer....

     

    anyway in my country i can Choose between proxxon the fet model or to buy "real" table saw

    i mean the big one...

     

    By the way the price of the proxxon its expensive i can bay 

     

    kind regards 

    Michael.

  10. Thank you for the answer

    But to be honest I don't want to use any kind of paper it's my first build and I'm working on that mor than one year and I never used other alternative than wood or metal

    So I don't want to start using that alternative in the last part of my model

     

    In the official pic of mamoli they post that pic

    http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/716Uq29HV4L._SL1196_.jpg

     

    And you can see that they used ropes on that part of wood the question is for what is used for , is it for making the wood stronger like the ropes on the masts or to making that heavier , and if it's for making that stronger I guess that it's ok to use rope like in the official model of mamoli

  11. Hello everyone

    After belaying do you put some glue on it ?

    I just almost finish my belaying work and I told to myself that I'm not going to cut the residues of the lines before i will ask that question

     

    Thank you,

    Michael.
