Svein.erik

Thanks for the likes, keeps me going😊

So what did I do this time?

The dekk planks is now finished and I started to sand the dekk,

I also aply one cote of oil yust so I can see where I need to sand more

after this I have to make more copper plates 🙈

Svein.erik

I want to get everything you offer😆

its exelent kit with a master on board 😊

but I am still building the syren and I have to diside if am doing this prodjekt or the cheerful first?

Svein.erik 

Thanks for the liks 

I yust started making plates , 15 in one strip and I make 500 for the portside 

and I got to say its inspitational to make this when it going so good😀

I think I used about 30 min to make ca 100 plates

I did also make a guillotine to cut the plates using a small hammer .

Svein.erik 

I finaly got the stamp to work, a little rebuild did the work.

so I made some sample to try on a boxvood sheet 

but it Seems to me that wen I take of the copper plates from the teip 

it kind of roll inn, so wen I put it on you can see its not Strait on the sheet, 

Maby this like this or it wil be better wen tones down?

The photo of the rope was a bit ..........

so here is a better one😊

Hi again and thanks for the likes 😊

I did start the dekk planks. But the nibbing I started after 3 plank (4) 

in the practicum its starts after 5 plank (same same but different 🙊

I use boxvood and its hard to nibb this if the margin plank is glue to the ship, 

So the margin plank on both side is loose so I can do this off ship.

And I try also the ropewalk,  making rope for the first time 

I havent nails it yet but its a good start 😊

Aren't you supposed to allow one end of yout ropewalk to slide on the table (perhaps weighted with a ballast?) to allow your rope to shrink somewhat?

Twisted rope is typically shorter than individual strands for about 25%.

Perhaps that's the reason you broke your first rope...

Yes, I did that, but went a little to far of the braking point ......

So I try again but not so far this time and it works. I do have to work on the skils her so the rope

Is more like a rope . I have some rope from chuck so I can look at and adjust mine as good I can get it, until  am a master🙊haha ha, wl in time I hope my rope is exelent 😊

Svein.erik 

Making my first rope ever using the syren ropewalk,  its esy to use when you practice

the first one I brake 😲 

The next one it was good. Its 0.25 and its about 2m long using DMC tread 

Svein.erik

But what is the thickness?   Not of the wales but even the general planking topsides.   Every Hahn model I see seems so heavy and "thick".  It makes the thickness of the bulwarks very wide with a huge cap rail that would probably end up being like two feet wide on the real ship.   If I were building the halifax, I would probably use 3/64" thick planking and that would be sanded even thinner once in place.  For the wales I would build it up in layers by adding another 3/64" strip on top of it and maybe a thinner one for the black strake.   Once the model is done and if done neatly.....who would ever know.   I realize that the real ships werent planked like this but its an odd thing to keep trying for "traditions" sake when maybe taking a different approach might be so much less painful and yield better results.  If it doesnt effect the final appearance why not give that a try?

 

Chuck

So this meens that I need to use 3/64 general planking for the cheerful hull ?

Svein.erik 

If I cant do the task of plating the hull I May have to paint the hull 😨

Svein.erik
