Ryland Craze reacted to xken in USS Constitution by xken - Model Shipways - Scale 1:76.8
I finished up the bentinck shrouds for the foremast and moved onto the futtock shrouds. After doing the starboard side offhand I realized there had to be an easier way to align the thimbles. I moved to the port side and tied off both ends first; then the center and finally the last two justifying the spacing at the stave. Next I used T-pins through the thimbles top and bottom to align them and then added the ratlines gluing each knot as each line was completed. The T-pins helped to hold the shroud lines in place when tying off and spacing the ratlines. Once all were completed I added CA at the hooks and rings to hold them then holding the stave tight to the shrouds I CA'ed them in place. Once all the excess lines were trimmed after the glue set all were painted with Ultra Flat Black spray paint. This gives them a uniform finish and stiffens the lines a little.
Now on to the foremast.

I got the cap rail on. Now I'll sand it down to size.

Ryland Craze reacted to Stuntflyer in HM Cutter Cheerful 1806 by Stuntflyer (Mike) - FINISHED - 1:48 scale
Tom, Michael and Albert, Thank you!
Work continues with the foresail halliard. There is a 24 gauge eyebolt located on the cap rail and just aft of the stem. Not that it's hard to do, but I can see where one might want to place it early on before the rigging is started. The block located behind the crosstree wasn't difficult to place, but care has to be taken not to bang into the other rigging already there. Chuck noted that it has to be placed so the rope falls behind the lower yard to a cleat on the lower mast.
Time to tighten things up and get to those rope coils I have been avoiding. . .

Well done, Erik. I doubt that anyone will spot the slight misalignment at the bow.

Eric,
Great job! That's quite an accomplishment.

That is a truly a first rate planking job. Very well done.
And yes touch ups seem to continue right up to the end!

Looks very nice, Erik. A major hurdle cleared. Touching up never seems to end, so there is plenty of time for that.

I finished planking the hull. Woohoo! Feels kind of weird to not be adding a plank or two after work every day. I also added the stern post, and did a more thorough sanding of the planking on both sides of the lower hull, paying close attention to getting rid of any high and low spots. I still need to do more work where the planking meets the keel and the stem. Also, the black paint on the wale has taken quite a beating. I'll fix that later. I was hesitant to include the bow shot, since the planks on either side don't line up at the stem too well. Figured it was still an interesting angle for a photo though.

Ryland Craze reacted to Jaxboat in Model Shipway's Paints
Pet peeve of mine: Floquil paints are not "acetone based" and Acrylics are not "water based". In both cases the water and acetone are in the case of the Floquil, solvents for the paint polymer vehicle or, in the case of Acrylics, they are water borne i.e. they are suspended in the water by various means but not soluble in the water(acrylic paint vehicles have little or no water solubility depending on their acrylic polymer's composition). There are acrylic paint vehicles that are soluble in the appropriate solvent blend (KRYLON spray paints for example). Some acrylic vehicles have partial solubility in water alcohol mixes which is how acrylic water borne hobby paints develop good flow and level properties.

Ryland Craze reacted to ca.shipwright in Model Shipway's Paints
I built the Bluenose II and wanted a midnight blue color for the upper hull and a rust red for below the waterline. I couldn't find what I wanted in any brand of paint. I went to Lowes and looked at all their paint color chips and found the colors I wanted. I had them make me a trial jar of each color using eggshell acrylic base. I thinned this 20% with distilled water, Brushed on several coats, and finished with a satin Wipe-on-poly. Came out very nice. At $3.95 for an 8 oz. jar, you can't beat this.
