Cornwall has it back in stock. -
Hi It will be planked from the wales up, and maybe one or two strakes below, posssibly even the garboard strake.
-
More framing and started on the port deadwood.
-
It’s an ink stabilizer and UV protector that helps stop fading. spray on until wet and then allow to dry, I use the Krylon brand stuff. The dullcoat is a varnish lacquer that will do the final seal and give a tougher finish.
-
Nice to see you back working on the Speedwell.
-
I have had good luck with the printed Friezes by doing this as well, but I first spray them after they come off the printer with a matt fixative, when they have been glued on the model I then give them a couple of coats of Testors Dullcoat.

Port side square framing well underway.
-
What red did you use? The paintings seem to show more of a brighter orangie red? Do you plan on straight main wales or in anchor stock style? Any type of templates for keeping the port surrounds at the correct width?
-
Port side framing ready for cleaning of laser char.
-
Starboard side framing completed, now onto the port side. Obviously it looks awful at this stage as it needs “a **** ton” of sanding and fairing but we will get to that soon enough.
-
Work on the forward apron and cant frames has begun, nothing glued in place yet, just checking the fit.
-
Liking the progress, what material will you be planking with? AYC like the other prototype?
-
Nice, enjoy the framing!
-
Work on the aft cant frames is well underway.
-
Deadwood has been shaped and more framing completed.
-
Several more frame pairs added, moving at a good pace now I’m in the groove.
-
Aft deadwood piece was cleaned of char and adjusted so it was a nice tight fit in its position, it’s not been glued in as its shape needs to be sanded closer to what it will finally look like.
-
Here are the first few Starboard side frames installed, we will begin to get a proper feel for what the model is going to look like now. The designer has left lots of “meat on the bones” for later fairing of the hull when framing is complete.
