Any experience with this?
-
Real nice work on rigging. Do you have picture or something what kind of knot you use to attatch blocks to yard?
-
Your planking is good for 1st layer. Now you just have to fill those holes. Just a suggestion - maybe try not to push all those nails in. Many of us removes those before sanding and 2nd planking. Sanding wise is a nightmare. For sanding you can also try small delta sander. i have used that for major part and then difficult parts by hand.

Hi Do you varnish admiralty paints (acrylic).It seems that varnish is allready in there. Not painted parts on my Cruiser will be covered with matt Admiralty varnish. Thanks for the help! Vahur

Some update. Have been focusing on hull. Railings now sanded and painted. Bow fittings glued. Some minor paint corrections needed. I disassembled some bow details and painted them black. Looks much better as i dont line plywood edges. Paintscheme-i like it. And nice is that i havent seen same one yet(not that there is many blogs ). Dry fitted deck equipment. Pumps and one grating still to be done. Rudder is also close to installation. As general in pleased with outcome. Have redone some parts that got “hairy” with painting. Still wondering when i should start with varnish. I guess the right answer is now. Eyelets about 40pcs have been painted black so i cant start with those also. Cannons have been complitely off the table so far. Most pieces have been removed from sheets but need sanding etc. QUESTION-as im using admiralty paints, should i varnish painted details. It seems that varnish is allready there as its little white before mixing.

Tnx. When you get addicted to the hobby then you get addicted to tools also. They made huge inprovement in my quality. Shame that i hvent finished any build yet but have 3 so called ongoing Focus is on Cruiser for now.

Im little worried about only using CA as it might not last for years. Maybe before you totally close the hull add PVa to inside where planks meet the frame. I started with CA also but then turned to PVA only. Now i use it only in really difficult situations like glueing 2nd planing stern and bow parts etc. Otherwise good job!

Shellac Sanding sealer primer 500ml transparent by Broma wachs So i ordered this one. Hope it works.
-
Thats exactly the reason i cant order Speedy or Flirt as i would probably put my CC Cruiser on hold. I allready have basicly done that with Occre Terror - first build quality isnt something im proud of.
-
Thank you all for help. I will order shellac and try with that. Found one product called shellac here in Estoni also-lucky me.
-
So if i understand correctly to use sanding sealer or sellac before painting should do the work?
-
Hi, I would need little help. Food grains on some details will raise up when painting. I use acrylic paints. Even if i sand it so that last is 1000 sandpaper. Is there any products to use to seal the grains before painting? Problem is at the moment with walnut. Vahur

Got mine also few weeks ago and im supper impressed with it. It reduces the time for masts and yards, also boosts my quality on them. I dis not use knives for shaping but instead sanding sticks that worked better for me. Only issue is that 4mm piece does not really suit if its too long as it starts to vibrate. Here comes handy that you can put it trough the main socket and partially shape the wood. I recomend.

I would need little help. As the shipping from US is quite expensive for small order then can you suggest me Admiralty or Humbrol paints similar to Model Shipways. here is list of paints that i would need equal ones to: Bulwarks Dark Green – MS 4801 Bulwarks/Gun Carriage Red – MS 4802 True Blue – MS 4964 Hull Yellow Ochre – MS 4829 Black – MS 4830 White – MS 4831 English Oak (stain) – MS 4975 Pale Yellow Trim – MS 4804 Primer - MS4839 DeepBrown–MS4818 Yes its Essex paint scheme.

To support these kinds of developments maybe support system like Kickstarter would be wise to use. Smaller contributions get name in the booklets, biger get the kit etc. Just an idea. But lets not push Chris
-
Bow os much better i would say. I really dont like visible plywood edges. Thats the reason i decided partially to paint the ship also, inluding the fittings. Of solid walnut then i would probably leave it all natural.
-
addicrion to ship kits will move in to tools.... you just want to buy them. for what you use the milling machine? I know its possible to do it with drill bench and cordinate table also.
-
Tnx! Yes I am. Makes life much easier and boost my poor quality by hand. We had amazing discounts here as all hardware shops are competing for clients so i bought allmost all i need with 40% discount- didnt see myself not using that. Also most needed accessories. Discount ends tomorrow but they dont sell on web
-
Capstain. Mini lathe was huge help with sanding. Also decided to unmount details at bow and paint them black. Photo progress soon.
-
Really nice! Did you airbrush or do it with brushes?
-
Chris is there a list you could share all the kits you have designed. I know Victory line, Caldercraft Cruiser i think and others?
-
Sanded too of the railing after fixing with nails. Applied first coat of paint. At one place the nail kicked off 2 planks that i have to fix. Overall im pleased. Will make some better pictures later with better light.

Use pva as much as possible. I also was working with ca at start and made a mess as it does not come off, pva does. Im sure if you start with ca then you will turn to ova at some point. Also you learn that you dont have to apply it so much-use toothpick. There are also some good rapid pvas that you can use like titebond quick and thick etc.
