donrobinson got a reaction from shipcarpenter in 17th Century Battle Station by donrobinson - FINISHED - 1:32 scale
The weekend proved to be a little fruitful and a little work was accomplished on the Station:
Gunport sills are being added to the frames. Frames and sills are made from cherry
The sills are made over sized then need to be trimmed flush to the frames
The final product
Frames are erected and glued into place
Installing the lower deck has begun, deck planks are made from maple
Here is a picture of the planks while still in their billets
Lower deck completed completed with one coat of wipe on poly applied
Installing the top moulding, this is an extra we added to the plans. The moulding is made from swiss pear with a strip of maple glued into a groove that was cut
Here is how it looks now. Woods used are ebony, boxwood and swiss pear. am now deciding whether to stop any further planking. I like the cherry frames so much that I hate to cover them entirely up.
So until I decide on this that's it for now.
Thanks to you all for the interest, comments and likes. Have a great Day!!

donrobinson got a reaction from Seventynet in Liburnian Novilara by donrobinson - FINISHED - MarisStella
Deck planking has started using 1.5 x 5 mm walnut planks
Deck planking completed
Stanchions and hatches installed
Oar ports cut out and rail installed
To size and place the oar ports properly I carved a piece of dowel to shape and size. Then I would put a light coat of paint to the end of the dowel then mark the side of the hull. Ports were first rough cut with a dremel then finished with a file and sandpaper
Assembling the thirty benches required
That's it for now.

Thanks Antony, I just found your gondola build. That will be an interesting build to watch, looking forward to seeing more on that one.

You are correct Steven
This taken from the MarisStella site. They did use this as a reference. There was some argument as to whether there was a rudder or steering oars, but as you can see there is a rudder

She all looks good, almost a shame to paint that furniture as it looks very nice the way it is. Great work
