slow progres, but the wales are dunn and paintet.

the next task is to do the drop plank , and t think this is a great ship to build and i love the size😊

svein erik

thanks for coments and likes,

the planking of the stern has bin dunn and also the counter has bin painted with thinn layers og crimson red (about 15 layers)

i also add the fashion pieces , this i had to add in 2 pieces ( i had to make many of them because the allways splitt when bending this curve)

i do think its not going to be seen when its finish painting .

the next is to add the wales planks after i tapperd the first layer at the bow and step ovet to do the dropp plank!

Just had the guys over for a nice Saturday get-together at my shop.  Mike brought his Winnie.    Side by side siblings....Mike's is in the front and is Boxwood.  Mine is Yellow cedar and in the background.  I just took these with my cell phone but here you go.   Dropped my camera so its what I need to use until I get a new one.  

And also...here is a look (I know you guys are getting bored of seeing the figurehead at this point) at the figurehead and our latest experiment.  This is another resin casting but I am experimenting with trying to cast them in a tan color that already looks like wood.  This is a very very hard thing to do with success.   But this figurehead has not been painted or touched up.  This is the color right out of the package.  I may go with it as its not perfect but very close.  You guys can just do a light brushing with some weathering powders if you want it more golden or less tan.  It depends on what wood you are building the model with.  I am so happy with the results.

 

those models look ..... like the madona... i do wish i had the time to get started on this 😲 

but then i newer wil finish my other models ,ooooh i cant start a 3 model😇 or.. i think i forgot my number😂

Its on the list!!!  But arent you guys had enough of the cross sections?  I mean its been done to death.  There are some forums that have these groups already with more than one Cross section.  It gets a little old ....

 

But if there is sufficient interest.  I think I can create one that is better than any of those and maybe a little different.  But its going to be quite a while.

 

thanks for the likes and coments😊

i yust finish planking the starboard side, wel not all😉

i havent aply any finish yet , i havent desided wat to use st this moment!

hi, 

i cant get any minwax here in norway(wipe on poly)

but if i take 50% lacquer and 50% paint tinner will this work as same??

svein erik

wat i realy want to learn later is build a POF model ,i do have te Triton plan but i think its to big for me now,

but someting not that big for a start,  and how to read the plans correkt!

svein erik

thanks for like.

after consulting with chuck , everything is in order , am happy... yeeeee

so a startet  the planking betwene the molding strip. 

working from the bow to the stern.

started to plank the wales and the molding strip, so .... how do i ....@@.!@.........!!! and many other words😲

i **** my leg on this ,  the molding strip is not good at the bow , 

there is 2 planks over the wales , i can get 3 planks fittet here, 

its seems to me i didden do a good job for the plank run and it seems that the gunport sills is to high .....

so i think i need to ripp all of included all the port sills and re do everything , this is a bad day!!

i have milled 90 planks , but i have to be careful and masure them while milling 

the new proxxson saw has a tendens to not hold the masure even i make a good lock (maby its the vibration)

but a lock in both ends helps, or invest in a byrnes saw?😱

the lumer is in the house😆😆 

and the ceder looks and smells like heaven, thanks again chuck for first class lumber!!

the molding strip!

ups... here is the photo😨

test fittings the wales plank ond i have started to add the first molding strip( boxwood)
