Thanks a lot Rich, but..you mean also frames extentions being left natural along all boat or we talk only turned stanchions? i tend to leave poop stanchions batural as they are beautifuly made. i would have ruined them even painting white. i will try to paint cover white - how that woudl look. -
Gentlemen i found this in inner color description. " and inside she is pearl color relieved with white, except the outlines of the bulwark stanchions !!! which are bright and varnished. " i suppose those are poop stanchions not deck ones....what do you think? in tat case i could leave poop stanhions natural although those are dark brown not bright...sigh... hovewer i will try to mix some pearl with white. although we know 10 subtle shades of pearl e.g. beige or gray or pinky and everything between being rather metallic... body and overtones... so i will mix white and a tiny bit silky silver and silky beige to see if i can manage some nice shade. will post. v.

After tiny shellac coat i ran each grove and All surfaces again with 400 -600 grit paper as shellac conserved Also some fuzzy edges coarses, precisely what i wanted to get rid off... As you Can see now Massive difference IS visible comparing to bare Wood before shellac. Now someone tells modeling IS easy. My gosh...

Joined effort ! Thanks much.
-
Rob thanks for flattering comment- oh no its only primer undercoat. Having built boat to perfection i would have prefered natural color like that but you can see the spots etc...she will go proper black and white with sheathing below. i already found out how to make deck so i will prepare that. like a train ! ma family told they never saw me to care so much for anything when moving or replacong her...:D they obviously only guess how much hard work is behind it...:)) still waiting for navalhood pieces...next update hopefully blue waterays next week. good weeekend everyone. one thing i struggle to find is mooring chockes or pipes...not sure how to sort it out.
-
I sealed boatv with shellac Prior painting so that grain Will not rise anymore. I changed All damaged moldings before, and polished ship details overall. Now only to tape water level line..thanks for watching.
-
Completely different Rob. I plan to use Fiebings oil dye. not alcohol based one. i never used it before but seen guy staining electric guitar baswood and few model boats and i fell in love with it. i will try a sample first on shellac primer.... so no painting. i will paint dilluted acrylics white on inner white though. ses i plan to put chain plates and deadeyes as i have spare small onefrom cutty sark. so far im using all wood i have at home not buying nothing but i will have to buy probably mooring pipe covers of proper size....i think even if not masted i plan to assemble masts to some height...i think deadyes would look ok. i think how to do deck first with houses V.
-
yes I love it Rich. i suppose it was modern back in a day.
-
Thanks Rob, yeah Im finishing outer Works ahead of painting inner side white blue and outer to be oil dyed black with dye. IT should come by monday. Im looking fwd to IT but first i have to try Sample and repair some damaged parts of moldings. Than i Will stand her on temporary stand so She wont nové or damage anymore...i see youre going with masts now interesting. I thought houses first.. .:) Good luck her. I had to sand a bit from them ( nameboards) to fit between moldings though...
-
im slow to catch on your speed Rob. shes perfect. by the way, what color is top of fancyrail, very upper side? its white and black is touching it from outer side? seems quite tricky to me. thanks V.
-
Thanks Rich, rail was not finished yet... Its Been smoothered since than... Exactly Rob i found this scale k st about perfect fór me. I Can xhoose what To detail and what not. Although my nameboard IS little outward facing. Will see...
-
Thanks a lot for encouraging comments folks. Rich knows my tendency of flying away sometimes , so i have to Keep trying harder to stay as true AS possible... i continue experimentnting and finding a new ways of how to build with really small things... I Don have proper tools and miniatures files. But i Guess i Will have to INVEST into some as im already tried of Using toothsticks tips rounder with sanding paper. But IT Works anyway ! So probably i Will Stick with IT

Flush with hull now....

Some railing details..

Flush with hull now....
-
I guessil i figured it put. Im sanding them spillways thinnest possible almost flush with hull just o they are know there there. Better now?
-
Rich I will try to make them paper thin so they look flush with hull . will be truer.
-
Thanks Rich, its no problém at All...Well here we come to modeling thing I cant do it proper way meaning let those inside. First, planks around are just 1 mm wide glued over stanchions. I would destroy Boat. And second, i could have just mimic those cutting bizzare thin line over planks. That would be probably truer as those are flush with bulwarks... But i decided those to be Seen Also with hinges as they are pictured even in books etc. I could have Made them with paper or so... Its not wrecking enegance ofvline fór me, speaking those Will be náreky visible as painted black. So Stuck inside would be not visible ať All - but IT IS not doable on my Boat. Strakes around are thinnest i have on Boat. Even Motoring holes šéfe pain to drill not to break those little strakes as i had to undergo with tape fór protection . ... i did macro shot so IT looks way thicker than from half meter..anyway thanks for input Rich - as always ! ! I will try to think it over again if better to scrape those and leave clean ride of the wales or leave them as they are.... .V.

....its raining again, so Down in Boston yard its being Worked hard :)))
-
Amazing. now i can see how those are being made. watching all masting will be godsend to me. so excited. by the way your chalnnels grooves are cleaner than mine ! oh i have to make mooring holes.
-
Here we are:)) I like the channels Rob, that you were able to make groove. seems you made them similarly as i did from 2 thin plates V.
-
Thank you Rob, I calcualted channel size from our given photographs, simply by comparing distance between main and mizzen of photo and compared from there length of channel - starting from mast and calculated scale ratio. im not sure nowvi will measure it tomorrow. they are about 13 centimeters, mizzen being smaller - around 10 cm. im glad you fancy those stanchions. those are just upper parts of some bigger rails i had in plenty for cutty sark and I cut off from those to make this pattern. yes i pinned them there was hole so i glued wire into it and predrilled hole to the rail so i could srick it and glue. I must say i would rather love stanchions fully deepened into rail properly, it would be just more authentic and better but those should be at least similar to original pattern....its little fakey this way but im glad overall. top of that stanchions is to be made.. v.
-
Finally i moved on after some time. Here IS the progress. Few Minor discrepancies from original to more heqdache to nitpickers :)) , Columns, but what i have ať home. Its easiest thing to swap any year.... But to ease their minds - :))) At least fancyrail IS solid All throughout now :)) . IT was pain to do.... Making nameboards myself now, so no laser on those. Now to make catheads and She IS ready to take a coat..thank you for watching... V.
