Sean, I'm not an expert, but I went with yellow ochre. I honestly can't remember what the actual ship has (and I was on board her just last Sep!). If you post this question separately (outside of your build log) you may get more answers from the other more knowledgeable folk here. -
Well, the practice ones looked pretty darn good Sjors! Can't wait to see the real ones.

Thanks Ed for the extra info on the wax/turps "formula" - I had a feeling it was going to be somewhat imprecise. You obviously know when it "looks" about right - another sign of the master craftsman at work!

Looks like a really interesting kit Michael. Think I'll pull up a chair and follow along. You seem to be off to a great start.

David, LoS is easily found online. Here is one such link. https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/63353887/liver-of-sulphur-gel-2-oz-great-for?utm_source=google&utm_medium=product_listing_promoted_en_au&utm_campaign=supplies_low

Hi Mark, I've just finished reading your log from start to finish and just have to say what a fine build you have made. Congratulations on some truly excellent work. I've also picked up more than a few ideas for my current and future builds. Thanks for sharing all your techniques, tests and trials. -
Sweet!
-
Well done on achieving a major milestone Sean. You'll really feel good once you sand the filler back and see the final hull shape emerge.
-
Fantastic as always Ed. Thanks for sharing your test information on finishes, really interesting. You may have mentioned before, so I apologise if I'm asking what's already been answered, but when you use the beeswax/turpentine mixture, what is the ratio or "formula" that you use?
-
Very nicely done Mike. Isn't it wonderful to work with some quality timber?

Looks like you're having way too much fun there Slog! Those laser cut bulkheads look like the duck's guts - very nice indeed.

Spyglass, I'm sure Danny will give you some great advice as he always does, but in the meantime, to debond CA, you need to use acetone (not IPA - that's for PVA glue). If you soak some paper towel in acetone, apply it to the joint and cover it with plastic wrap (to slow the evaporation), that may help the penetration. Give it about 10 minutes, then slowly work a thin blade into the joint. You may need to continue/repeat several times. The only issue you run may into with plywood is delamination of the ply itself if you dissolve the glue between layers, so tread carefully and take your time.

Great pictures Augie. They really show off what a fine job you are making of this build. Enjoy the fishing after the chores, and watch out for moose!

Hey Nick, I've just noticed your location - you could just pop across the road and check out the positioning and quantities for real!!!

Hi Nick, You'll find a bit of a discussion about shroud cleats around pg 45 of my build log. Blue Ensign posted a few photos from the actual ship at post #674 on that page. Here is a link to the relevant page http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/163-hms-victory-by-grant-dale-mamoli-scale-190/page-45 Hope this helps.

<running feet sounds> <door slams> <gasping for air> Hey! Did someone see Sjors come in here with popcorn? Oh, hi Frank. I was following Sjors out of idle curiosity, just to see what he'd do next, and thought I saw him head in here. Looks like an interesting build you've got going here. Think I might stay and watch if you don't mind. Mark - pass me a cold beer would you?
-
Yep, can't go past Jeff at Hobbymill. Even with exorbitant postal rates (not his fault), it's still great value. Quality and service are second to none!
-
Very nice Rusty. It's such a shame that you're not having any fun at all!
-
Just been catching up on your build Michael as I hadn't checked in for a while. What a truly outstanding build you have here. I just love those scale hinges!
-
Great to see all that sawdust Mark - a sign of real progress! You did measure twice, right?..................
-
Very nicely done Augie - as Bob said, it really adds to the overall appearance of the stern. Can I borrow your photographer? - he seems to do a far better job than mine.
