The second, stage. Now, after the oil has lighted some previously unnoticed defects, I will try to eliminate them using card scraper and sand paper

Thank you very much, Karl, I have corrected my mistake. I'm very grateful for the information, but on the "SPERWER" this element looks simplier. My best regards, Alexander.

I’m moving to the "oil" work. After a critical assessment, I decided to finalize some elements. I have modified zwaarden and made fasteners.

My greetings dear Valeriy I haven’t worked with paper, although I have been reading a lot about it. Time ago I picked from several variations of caulking imitation, and chose this technology and from that time on I have been using only it. For several reasons – plastic can be surfaced and scraped very well in final polishing of the deck covering. And secondly, to my point of view, it resembles better the seal of joints on the deck. And thirdly, on these ships joints are very wide and paper imitation wouldn’t work. Even plastic had to be glued in two layers. My best regards, Happy New Year.

My greetings dear Geert. This element of carving was made using nothing but incisor. For the finish processing I had to surface it using a wooden toothpick, fastened by microdrill. My best regards. Happy New Year!

Hello Paul. I used plastic film for calking. I used this method when i was building "Carolina". All that one needs for this can be found in any stationary shop. Plastic bag for paper (they can be found in different colors and thickness) and two sides adhesive duct tape. I use the balck side of the plastic bag. I put the duct tape on plastic fim and cut it in stripes according to the thickness of the batten, it can be made with a small margin, then I separate protective paper from the strip and stick on the end of the batten, the allowances are cut off with the knife, - it's cutting off nicely. Here are several photos, maybe they can be of use to somebody. If you have any questions - it would be my pleasure to help. My best regards, Alexander.

The final installation of the deck-house. I have coated the state cabin with oil. Probably, in the future, few will see it.

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal.
