thanks for coments and likes the construction of the main dekk cabin is on its way , for this i use evegreen styro yust the main dekk cabin, wood vil be used for the topp dekk construction. at the rear you can se the 2 sleeping quaters and a sallon and the doors opening . later i wil glue some wood panels etc on the wall, beds ,table etc.... at the aft i wil do the same. the hole construction is loos and not glued on the ship. i markt the windows , doors etc so i need to take this out to. the main dekk construction wil get simulated rivvits using the same metod i did with the hull (thats because this part was made of steel plates. the topp dekk was wood. svein erik

hi keith, wel.... i dont think so the hull has some strength filler over the balsa, wen dunn it wil get some primer on to get more strenght before the copper, i have also tested the soft copper and the sheet i have is way to thick (007) it has to be thinner 002/003 so i may have to get back using tape.. (snaile tape ... its copper and its 4cm wide and 5 m long)
-
yust resive a test sheet of soft copper to make all the steel plates for the pequot hull, am going to make some plates so i can see how it work with the rivitts and the thickness . this sheet is 007 thick .... this copper has been burned so it can be bendt in any way you want! svein erik

thanks for the coments and likes, a bit more work has bin dunn, the wire for lightig is install, i block up the hull and sanded it to shape/faired.... dusting... dusting...😲 The false dekk is glued on also but need to be sanded a bit on the edge around the hull. propell shaft need to go in /the hole has to be drilled out . the next task is to make the bulwark/rail, the keel has to get glued on, so after all this the hull is going to have some layers of filler so it can be smoot before the steel plating task! svein erik

hi Roger wel ..... i do not even now yet... i feal like thomas Edison , there is 20.000 thousand wrong right way to do this but only one wil work.... i wil test this when i have the soft copper roll😉 svein erik
-
am thinking of using blocks on all the bulkheads, insted of wood planking, i then wil cut out all the section for the steel plates using soft copper sheet , roll the rivitts on the back side then glue it on the hull peace by peace . i think this is going to be faster and more realistic when airbrushed, i never try this metod and i do not know if anyone has?
