Wow, that is one big model! How long is she? I used ammonia to clean up a model once and it worked fairly good, although, it had a glossy finish. Maybe try on a spot that won't be seen and see how it works. Spray Nine is also a real good cleaner, which maybe be better than ammonia. Flat finishes are hard to clean so be real careful. I just read your title and seen 2.5 m. long

Looks great. I like your ideas with the oar sweeps and scuppers, I really don't like putting holes through the hull, especially one as good looking as yours

Nice work Frank, what are you using for the deck?
-
I also agree about the filler blocks, they are a real pain to make but worth the effort, I have read that using balsa is not that good either. I can't swear by this as to date I have never used balsa, mainly due to it's cost.

Should be interesting, E.J. gave some real good advice so be ready to have some fun and we'll be waiting for some updates

Looks a little shiny, but I'm sure that is just the lighting and the picture, I like it. I also quite admire your shelving unit

Very well done Cristi

Thanks for all of your time spent on this topic, I 'll be watching tomorrow for the final results. Then it'll be a matter of finding some to play with

Hey Mike, My first pick would be the Micro Mark Age - it, then Tung oil and after that natural. The top two are good but maybe not so much for a deck of Pegasus. Just my thoughts
-
Looking forward to your results

This is very interesting. I would be interested to see how paintable it is. Have you tried turning it in a lathe yet? It might be a good medium for making cannons or real small dowels for axles and such or even belaying pins. Please keep us updated.

She is looking real good, that blue really stands out. Very nice
-

Merchen, That is truly remarkable, to come visit and watch you create these beautiful works of art would be inspiring. The only problem would be is getting me to leave . What part of Germany do you live? Take Care and please keep posting

Is that $20 U.S.? Put me on the top of your order list. Will it do edge bending?

That's ok Buddy, two hours in dentist chair would have me going straight to liquor cabinet

Thanks E.J., I have always been a big fan of the natural look and usually only use paints and stains for highlights only. So I am still not sure what I was thinking when I applied the stain and two coats of poly only to remove it later. Lesson learned.

Mike is right in what he has mentioned to you, if tapering the plank does not close the gap leave the tapered plank lie naturally and use a stealer to fill the remaining space. It is all still going to work, not to worry there, we are not criticising only trying to help. Please do not take anything the wrong way
