Finish of the Waterway
Ronald-V replied to RossR's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
If you look at the pictures from the HMS Victory, they seem to be unpainted. If I understand correctly, they're part of the deck, a sort of L-shaped plank that starts on the deck and ends in the bulwarks. That's why I consider them a deck component and leave them bare (varnished, of course). This isn't based on facts, but on my own observations, haha. 😄 I hope someone with real knowledge will come along Edit: I have included an illustration from Mondfeld's "historic ship models" where you can see how the waterway as I see it is part of the deck. Obviously this isn't a picture of the ship you're working on (not even of the time period), but personally I don't think there would be much difference? -
Side note...the scale of the Amati kit is 1:64

Thanks Frecap! I understand your thoughts on photoetch. In general...not sure i'm the biggest fan of it, mostly through it's flat appearance...but it can add a lot of details for the less skilled amongst us and sometimes you can get things more in scale with PE. But I also prefer to see as much wood as possible where possible.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
