BubbleHead got a reaction from Steve20 in HMS Winchelsea 1764 by Bubblehead - 1:48
Hi no, I haven't given up. I re-did the whales six times and was still not satisfied but moved on. This is my redo and practice one, have decided to build another.
Started the lining off.
This is the part I really wanted to learn as Mr. Passaro stated in his great planking tutorial on all the compromises having to do when not knowing the proper way of planking the hull and I have done them all, thought he was describing me.
Thank you, Mr. Passaro, for your planking tutorial simplified things for me. I have finished ticking the port side and almost the starboard just have to get out the tick fan.

Thank you I'll give it a try, but doesn't the white glue leave the thread stiff at the ribs and leave the thread straight at that point and not flowing around? Sitting here thinking about this and just had a thought. When I make sails I use fabric glue cut about 50% along the folded edges because I can't fold, hold and sew at the same time and make it right so I glue them down and the fabric has been left all floppy just like no glue was used. I think I'll give it a try and see if it will stick to the wood.Either way I'll see what works for me.

I was thinking of decal paper if there is such a thing. Haven't reached that chapter yet. Can you even print on it will the ink dry? Things to test.

BubbleHead got a reaction from Canute in Artesania Latina, S.A. Micro Shapers A, B & C
I save all the old #17 blades because it takes me two or three times to get it right. But I'm a long way from any moldings. I will post some pic.

Thank you gentlemen. Looks like the best way is to make molding tool to the specific applicaton as you go and the tool will most likely end up in that other drawer.
I looked at Goodwin's Construction and Fitting of English Man of War quite intricate molding I liked how they explanded where they went, good thing I saved a lot of old chisle blades.

I just saw these moldeing scrapers and was wondering what the consensus is for the tools. Will they work for quarter scale ships I'm sure they will work for Artesania Latina models.
Or do they belong in that other drawer.
Thank You for your time

Thank you very much: I see you finnish the wales then plank up above.

Please question on the Black Strake and Wales. You lay down the first layer of planks 3/64 thick for the wales and 1/64 thick for the black strake (according to the materials list) then add the planking above the black strake around the gun port whitch is 3/64 thick. Is correct, if so then when adding the second layer of the black strake you have to fit it in the hole between the whales and gun port (upper planking). Is this correct. Looking at some pic it looks like in the first layer of the black strake is the same thickness as the wales.
2: Is the black strake flush, even with the wales and stand proud gun port planking.
Or wales stand proud of the black strake and blake stands proud of the gun poud of the gun port planding.

Thank You Sir. Cut up some battans and ran them for the wales, to my suprise they followed the lines on the frames that is all but one frame. Both sides measure out as a match that was the bigest suprise. I used doubble stick taspe as you can see for the alignment of the battan. At least I'm not moveing backwards any more yet.

I finally got all my mistakes, redos, crashes fixed and ready to move onto chapete two. Hopefulley I'll do better.
Hear is my rendition of the ballard's. What do you think should the top be thinner they are just under 1/16" or just take them off and put new one's on as the square is a little small.
