Thanks for the advice I have some filler but waiting till I finish the first layer so I can get the symmetry as best I can. It's actually something to plan a bit when soaking the planks for an hour beforehand lol :) -
How's the full hazardous materials safety precautions(protecting all exposed skin) working out for your building ? Just want to know how your doing :)
-
Ok here it is before I removed the modified clothespins And here after I removed everything So it seems to have worked out and no more nails will be used however, I do seem so have asymmetric lines so will wood filling and sanding get both sides to look similar? I think I like the gradual bend( on the left side of the last picture) better so will try to get the other side to match after finishing the first plank layer.
-
Yeah the commercials are crazy these days glad I don't pay cable to see them :)
-
Thanks again all. And while I was successful (I think ) in getting a few planks on today.........y'all sure made it more difficult on me by not using nails..........but I think I got will let you know tomorrow when I see if it dried right. :)

Looking good and I see no flaws . Hmmmm 45 degree I was thinking of making up a PVC capped piece to soak my wood in guess I could put that at a 45 degree angle......of coarse it's an entirely different ship so would have no scientific value lol
-
Lol Sjors yeah my wife gave me a hard time the angle I took the picture sure makes the space look smaller
-
Oh good Augie that's the response I was looking for and I sure will keep you posted lol :)
-
Wow Aldo you really are taking quite well to this scratch building. You have something to be proud of there :)
-
That is one sweet looking ship. I really like the color scheme. It is looking top notch :)

Ok so I thought I would show my new work area (even though its pretty similar to the old one lol) And I was thinking one wall hunter green (the one I face) and the others a lighter either sea pearl or perhaps sage) Just keeping everyone updated lol not relevant but that does not matter lol :)
-
Oh my Adriaan I am so sorry you are having the troubles you are but am glad you are making progress in the right direction. Sending you best wishes my friend:):)

Ok just got caught up on your build and wow is it looking good........I appreciate you rooting for team as I will be for the Packers :)
-
I am sorry for your loss. I hope you and you family are doing ok in these tough times.
-
I took a bit of time and drove the nails deeper and I will fill them so no filing off the heads and they will not poke out.....I know I know .........I was given great advice to remove them all but I drove some too deep for that and was afraid of the collateral damage from trying to dig them all out.... Ok on to the advice and guidance I hope to receive........ Ok so I will not use the nails ( much to my wife's delight since no more banging ) so I made up these clamps from clothespins....... And I think I will use them this way... So my question is if I do this will I not end up glueing my clamps to ship at the same time I glue the strakes?? Sorry for getting right back into it....I will try to socialize more now that were almost settled in ........I hope lol...
-
Ok I am all moved and have a place for ship building so give me a few more months to catch up on everyone's log..........
-
Just a note for my followers......the ship is currently going to be dry docked for a little while. I am hoping to move in the near future and will be discombobulated for an unknown amount of time. I will post back on here when a station has been setup and the build continues. Thank you everyone for your patients............. :)
-
Welcome Aldo. :)
-
Hmmmm remove the nails for sure huh? Well I will give it a try after it dries in a couple days and hope I do not pull them all off lol
-
That wave you speak of Sjors is the difference from the master strake and the regular one I have not thought ahead enough to know what I will do about that. I really do appreciate all the input and help :) :)
-
Ok while waiting for my strakes to soak. I doubled my crew..........
