Augie, tell please, of what threads (or from ropes - on a photo it is badly visible) the rigging is made?

Yes, to such experts sometimes it is necessary to apply preventive measures.  

Here still link http://modelisme-naval-bois.lebonforum.com/t1044-hms-victory-par-j-c-steckmeyer

I agree, without knowing the correct methods and receptions of performance of any work, anything good you won't make  . Dr Nazarenko well taught you!   

Interesting mini-assemblies.

With a rigging here still there is a lot of work...

Looks like they're planning a K9 mutiny. Hope those ticket are in your name?

 

Also, dogs are very hard to impress with dropping logs, they consider themselves professionals.

Especially well they understand wood grades 

Excellent critics! And what wood they prefer?   

Speaking of Acetone and its organic properties reminds me of this "Mr know it all" in my organic chem class (no not me).

Anyway he'd bought these REALLY expensive safety glasses and was bragging on how much they cost.

I then watched the doofus clean them with Acetone (always in an organic lab).

Can you say "permanent FOG", The lens when opaque instantly....

I never laughed so hard...

 

I stayed on the opposite end of the lab as this guy. He was good at heating closed containers.

The chemist - he also is the chemist, slightly that - organic solvents, acids...    

This photo - an example of application of a bituminous varnish of Maimeri 710 divorced with white spirit. All model, including a rigging becomes covered by it. Wait a little, I will look, somewhere I had links to Victory constructions on other sites.

I wrote that will be about what to talk  ! More safely forward, Sjors, you will find more many interesting Corel in drawings  .

Interesting work!

Look at the last pages of the report on which I gave the reference.

thanks Randy

 

finishing more of the railing  near the stairs. need to check but i think thats the last bit  so now i cna varnish the second deck and then glue the third one on

If to put a varnish on details in such condition as they are shown on a photo, the fleecy surface will turn out: the varnish "will lift" the insufficiently well polished fibers on a wood surface.

As information: construction of the similar HMS Victory model from Caldercraft http://forum.modelsworld.ru/topic9206.html

Hi Garward……I'm not 

 

Still working on the shrouds of the main mast.

 

 

Very well, will be about what to talk, without waiting San Ildefonso! 

Morning, Sjors,  I am always ready! 

I think that you'll find these little discrepancies in every kit.   it's all in whether or not you see them right away,  and whether or not the problem is dealt with,  if discovered early enough.  believe me.......I'm the first one to say that.   it's in our quest to create that 'jaw-dropping'   build..........so many are 'there'.........and...so many are not far behind.   I'm even sure that a lot of you have undertaken a kit that exceeds your expertise level......I know I've got one going.  but this is expected of us,  if not,  encouraged.  it's how we will expand our knowledge,  as we venture in the quest.   I enjoy what I see.........I see learning........I see technique.......I see what will shape up,  to be his or her masterpiece.   may not be this one........but keep watching.....the duckling....WILL become a swan     Keep up the good work Sjors..........things may not come out the way you want them........but it's still an empressive build.   superb!

To put it briefly, let's build models, colleagues modellers!   

Hi, ReD BuLL,  welcome to Kiev! Certainly, the big detail should be heated previously separately from small if to heat them together, the small detail can will melt earlier, than big will heat up to soldering temperature.   

Acetone can be used generally before drawing on a detail of a finishing covering. It can spoil this covering. This restriction for acetone application.

When it is necessary to solder two details, one of which much more another (on weight), sometimes it is necessary to warm up separately in addition this detail that more fine detail thus didn't overheat.

Ahoy J.Pett   

When using СA it is more best not to make mistakes as it is difficult to eliminate them. I spoiled not one detail while learned to use this glue  . Usually, if it is necessary to disconnect incorrectly pasted СA a detail, I on connection several times smear acetone, it dissolves СA.

Hi, Bob! Unfortunately, I have no own experience of work with this nut, but I agree that it needs to be darkened much more better to see details.

Cherry wood well is suitable for a decor and finishing of details, for a deck flooring it too dark.

Especially I like the slow (two-minute) СА glue PT 30 shown on a photo for a tree.
