donrobinson got a reaction from John Allen in Copper coating on my ship
That would indeed be a lot of work making those copper plates. My hand goes out to you for doing such work . And please start a build log, it would be nice to see more of this build and your techniques.

First of all you sure have done a good job of planking so far, when I get to this stage of planking I will quite often work both ways, up and down. I am not really sure if it would make a difference or not, it doesn't look like you are going to have any problems.

The crowsfeet look pretty sweet to me Bob. Nice work. I have never had to do any yet but they look like they could be a bit of a "hair puller", again good stuff

donrobinson got a reaction from md1400cs in Trabakul by donrobinson - FINISHED - MarisStella - 1:32 scale
Hello all just a small update, Thanks to all for stopping in, for your likes and great comments.
I finally got the courage up to cut all the holes in the deck and I must say all went good, and I also finished up my ships wheel.
Not much to be said the pictures say it all. the cuts were made with a 1 mm end mill bit then finished with a file.
The very first picture shows the outline for the aft hatch which I spent considerable time measuring, marking and double checking..............even though it was perfectly square and centred I had to erase all of it as this is the bow . Things got better after this, glad I didn't start to cut. The deck has one coat of poly now on it and will get two or three more
Enjoy
All deck furniture and masts are just sitting in their places, nothing is permanently fixed yet.
Have a Good Evening

Thanks so much Dave. Once stove is done I need to build a windlass, which will be a first for me. I think I am looking forward to this

Good Morning Mike, Thanks for stopping in. The Trajta is a fine looking boat and kit, I love the bow on her. I don't blame you for wanting to pull her out. You will enjoy building her and will end up with a great model. I am just finishing up the ships stove, almost done "accessorising" it and may have some pictures later.

Good evening folks, did a little work on the stowage hatch and thought I'd show some pictures.
This one is showing the location marked out and ready to cut
Here the hatch has been cut out using a rotary tool and a 1 mm end mill bit( a little shaky on the cut, should have had a beer maybe )
The hatch has been trimmed up and sanded using a sanding block\
The hatch has been built and am cleaning up the covers
This how it looks installed
I did not take any pictures of the construction of the hatch. It is basically two boxes built around each other. The only minor problem was when I was sanding the two inside end panels. I was using the disc sander sanding both pieces at once and did not realise one had moved forward, so I sanded that end flush, turned it end for end and sanded flush again. Although all ends were very smooth and even the pieces were now 3 mm too short.
So after singing a beautiful happy song it was out to the garage to make two new ones
Here I am packed up and ready to go to garage to spray some varathane
