DenPink got a reaction from kiwiron in HMS Revenge by Denis R - Victory Models (Amati) - Scale 1:64
Hi all
Well I have made a boo boo , not the first time and will not be the last .
The forecastle deck I planked of the ship.
I then glued it to the bulkhead frames.
I did not realize that the top of the frames had to be cut off, after gluing the deck on, then plank the deck.
No big deal I only had 3 planks each side to take off.
I decided to have a rest from planking, so I have made the helmsman canopy.
The kit supplies a strip of walnut shaped like an L, this goes on the inside to reinforce the 4 corners.
After you have glued the 4 parts together it is time to put the trim on the outside 1x2mm, do this first before you plank the roof.
When you have fitted the trim file or sand to shape to the roof line, now fit the roof planks 1x2mm.
I have applied 2 coats of sanding sealer, and 1 coat of satin varnish (2 more to go).
Will stain the inside later.

Hi all
Just a little update.
I have fitted the cabin deck and planked the walkway on the outside.
I did not put the caulking lines on the inside planks.
I am a bit mad about this as I do like to see the caulking lines.
I don't know if they did caulking on the inside of the cabins in 1577 as I was not born then ( the wife said I was so I will not argue with her ).
I have dry fitted part 51 to see what it looks like, yes I know it is too far over to the right.
Will now sand and put a coat of satin varnish on the walkways as they have only got two coats of sanding sealer.

Hi
I have just put the gratings on the deck just to see what it looks like (dry fitted only).
Sorry about the dust in the gratings ha-ha.
Now going to sand the deck down again.

Hi all
Done a little bit of work, side panels have been glued on, so now time to start the fairing of the stern area.
WARNING to the builders who have not got this far, or are about to start this Revenge kit build.
The instruction book doesn't mention the filler block at the stern.
Please look at plan sheet 4 you will see part 196 ( filler block ) has to be fitted before you start fairing the bulkhead frames.

DenPink got a reaction from Piet in Cutty Sark by NenadM
Hi Nenad
I am so pleased you are not going to put your new friend in a cage, they love people around them.
We never had the three Old English Sheepdogs out side the house they were always inside apart from walking them and showing them at shows.
I think by looking at your photo that your dog will have a tail.
That is a shame as in this PC world we live in they are not allowed to doc the tail off.
That is how they got the nickname Bobtail.
Why they cut the tail off was because a dog uses the tail as a rudder (just like a ship) .
They used OES dogs to herd sheep and cattle from Wales and Cornwall to London, a dog with a tail split the sheep and cattle up so you had sheep and cattle going every were, so they cut the tail off the OES dogs so they could not turn so quickly this kept the sheep and cattle in one herd and not scattered all over the land.
I hope I have explained how they got the name Bobtail.
If you look after him or she they will reward you an 100 times more.
Denis.
