garyshipwright reacted to native one in La Mahonesa 1789 by native one - scale 1/48
Planked the floor in the hold, now to began construction of the storerooms that fill in that part of the hold,and still need laders down to light room and powder magazine,but first I'll probably need to put in some more deck beams of the orlop deck so I can tell which ones cut thru the walls of the storage rooms.

Looking good Ron. Believe it or not some of us our still learning. It still takes me a couple of tries to get it to the point that I like it. Keep up the good work. Will be watching your build. Gary

Glenn you are so right. It does take a lot of patience that's for sure. Once you have it finish it's nice to sat back and enjoy your work. Gary

Well good folks I couldn't find a finish that Iiked so I used the one I put on Alfred. I have been using a mixture of bee wax and thinner, brings out the wood nicely and will add a nice golden color to the planking and not change the color of the wood. Once it's dry I take a rag and wipe it down, and use a bit of steel wool that will bring out a nice sheen to her. Gary

At this stage I was able to complete the upper balcony and close in the stern. The windows are made from thin strips of basswood. The bulkheads are made from lacquered manila file folder stock framed out with basswood for the pillars and cross piece moldings. The same process was used for the interior panels as well.

On a side note, Druxey very kindly pointed out that I had used New Times Roman for "VICTORY" which is a 20th Century typeface. Here is the re-painted version, which I'm much happier with. BTW, all my painting is directly on the wood, not on paper and glued on.

Mike I would add another item to Greg accessories which will be a good one and that's the Sensitive Drilling Attachment. Great when you drilling a lot of holes using very small drill bit's. They really do make a lot of good accessories thats for sure. Gary
