BubbleHead got a reaction from FrankWouts in HMS Winchelsea 1764 by Bubblehead - 1:48
My Winchelsea is almost done, cannons, and a few other things. I learned a lot especially the line off of the hull.
I like the AL SR kit. I don't like the instructions. The customer does not want paint so I'll be using different wood. The false keel and bulkheads are a little flimsy but get stiffer when built. The parts are crisp and clean the detail is great.

BubbleHead got a reaction from Canute in Walnut for hull planking
Thank you one and all. I have a couple of models done in cheery and the red came out a little too much. The deeks are all already Alask Yellow Cider on the Soleil Royal. After finishing with Polly they turned darker and I think it looks good. I think I will get enough Walnut to do the hull and other painted parts, make planking, and see how it turns out. Ronald, I like your Soleil Yoral scheme nice work, I think I will do something like it.
Thank You Tom -

I'm doing the kit, Soleil Royal by Artesania Latina and the person who gave me the kit to build for him doesn't want paint. So for the hull planking, I'm leaning towards Walnut. I'm wondering what the consensus is for Walnut for hull planking, Too dark and too grainy and doesn't look to scale. Any thoughts? I have enough Cherry to do the job.
Thank you for your time.

Started chapter three
I lined up the transom windows It Took a bit but finally everything looked good. port and starboard measure the same distance from the hull out. From the transom to the lower counter measures the same and looks good.
That is it looks good to me. I will make the final window adjustment after gluing the transom on.

I see, I bought other glue bottles but the hole was too big but these look good I will try them. It takes longer to unclog the glue bottle than to do the job.
Thank you Glenn very much.

Thank you Glenn. I have torn off several rows of planking and replaced them sometimes it worked sometimes it didn't. I will do another Winnie when I'm finished with this one. Practices, practices, practices.
I have never seen the CA applicators with the super thin nozzle and spatula you are discussing. Where might I find this if it's OK to ask?

No not giving up. Right now trying to straightening out the line to match the keel to fit the garboard. Maybe non of this mess will not show too much as it's on the bottom.

Thank you Frank for the encouragement. I will be finishing it mostly, put the decks in but I think that will be all. The hull is a mess. the gentle S at bow turned into a giant slalom and I got lost in the planking count. By the time I found the mistake it was too late besides the mistake started with the whales.
It's OK because I really would like to learn Chuck's way of doing hull planking, lining off, and things. That is another thing I didn't follow the tic marks. I keep thing 1/4" when the plank was less according to the tic marks. Don't know what I was thinking couldn't follow my own game plan.
Thank you Frank for your excellent tutorial on hull planking. I hope I will get the big picture next time

As you can see what a mess. I sanded through at the stern, there's a hole at the bow which I didn't see untell l I sanded. Gaps everywhere. The dry fit would be good but when I added the it seemed not to fit right. I think it was part me and part medium supper glue I used. I think next time I will try thin supper glue if it doesn't run all over the place. The big problem is on the bottom which is a grate mess it looks like only two or three planks. The line out looked good but I didn't follow the game plan. I think because in the lining off none of the planks were 1/4" wide so as I was planking I changed it dumb.
Anyway I"m moveing with the build and I will follow the game plan the next time and use thin supper glue or ti bond and wate.
