yours are fantastic. yes i didnt calculate cost yet so i will come to that point later. but its always with me. i sometmies rather pay than pay twice sith nerves wracking bad outcome etc. i hate that somwtimes more than money left. i was almost thinking of paitnitng hull to mimic muntz but it would be proabably very plain poor aproach ...so i stick with coppering for now. but its thing of next 3 or for months. i want to focus on bulwarks and rails - ver important and lst structural form to complete hull and sgio apearance...for now and that wont be simple task but im looking fwd to it. than i will paint hull black and rest. fingers crossed.

Thanks Rob. i think its best hull from my entire fleet so far. so im pleased:) v.

delay. My lumber provider reached out to me that messed up between adresses so actual bulwarks section is on hold. what now? i will apply shellac on hull as primer. after painting black up to copperline, i decided to postpone coppering itself tothe winter snowy months. i decided im not up to Robs taping procees and i dont have experience with it. closest to real thing with no exagerated rivets in 1:72 i found premade copper plates from amati. i will most likely do that. it looks like free weekend. till next. cam wait for bulwarks stuff. that will be tough but i hope fun part.

Thanks Rich.

Thank you. im observing your discussion. apreciated.V.

Making dust...

Today i was playing with stern. Tried to make scarf and platform for main and monkey rail. Its still shabby looking - need fillers and thin strakes but pretty much definite shape. Molding Will go where the step IS... Thanks for watching etc...

Thank you Rob. im a bit scared though as I dont have coppering experience. will see how that will go...

Rich i wont have more next week than just sanded hull smoothly without rails...if thats enough. i ordered wood for bulkheads just about now... Than from there i will try to finish bulwarks...and later coppering and rails with laser cut samples of ornamentation and nameplate and that would end this yea of actual working on model for me for now. i will go back to computer looking at cabins and elarning things from Rob in that regard. V.

Much obliged Rich. i will chech photographs if those are square. V.

im starting up with bulwarks Gentlemen. need to order wood but... do you know thickness of stanchions and how far they are from each other please? i cant find an info about that. Thanks a milion Vlad

This is Wow Rob. vthanks for sharing these unique recipes with us.

Rob I wholeagree that replicating usage is tougher than clean aproach. Therefore i would never attempt it. abut I already learnt from you - finished quickly dirt whats under copper line

Half od Boat IS done. Enough for this week

Rich if there IS one thing im proud of IS the sheerline. Just Remember IT was you and Rob who always navifatede to IT. Its tried that IS IS far easier shape awesome line Down on computer program. I Remember particuparly that It woudnt have Been possible to shape IT on model withput laser cut. Im sure if IT. And even with that It was quite challenging to set IT. I just fibished one side today. You Can see that gracious sheer profile from the pictures quite nicely. And you Can rejoice All effort starijg at whole sa de of magnificent profile or Boat itself. Im just in awe seing that deep deep belly materialised front of me starting and ending with Elegant clipper Lines. I think we Can see we Did IT ! i hope Rob wont mind sharing pics here as pissing on his parade i Will remove them and púť to mine just tried to photo IT from every angle possible even famous photo before launch its so so much reminiscent to me even without rails ...i moved photos to my thread. V.

I will check on that . i noticed frame outing a bit from inside of boat. i very much like that detail so i will incorporate it . V.

Sily of me ! Its All All restored i didnt lose her. I BET Rob Has it right but i had to remeasure it. I was making port opening vaguely freely from eye scan from pictures and look how wrong i was. As welcomed addition. my laziness got me now. Sily of me. Everything plays Safe. Waterways 12 inches = 4 milimenters. Now planks are 6and a half inches in my scale IT IS 2.29ilimenter! I forgot than i planked with 3 mm planks and it makes Bug difference... and counted those... Look ať the photo where opening should be founting 7 strakes multiple 2.2 mm = 1.5 centimeter.and how small IT should be which makes ship even bigger. ..sorry really.. I have to remake IT. For sure. All of a sudden copper line distance IS perfect.

Thanis for stopping by Brian, I apreciate that. Have fun. ! V.

than dear Rich, i have some deary suspicion then you would not like to hear 😕 maybe overal height or measurement of boat and my bulkheads construction are that much off ( how could hell be?) and she should be taller ! because i measured 22' as my line exactly :/:/ 😕 my goodness....last resort of rescue - im going to measure it thotoughly tomorrow !

Rich.. I have it exactly 7 planks below and 4 planks in opening but it should ha e been originalyl a tad (1.5 mm aprox) higher as my planks are 3 mm wide and in scale should be 2.6 mm... well from sheer up making rails i will intend to be as precise as possible. Im leaning to leave copper line as it is 22' atm. i will settle boat to later era than probably...still ill focus on finishing planking hull and than to decide we can debate it in plenty. V.

well well. Thanks for this note Rob. You are right on the money i guess. What can I do ? 😕 well , i am out of thin strikes so i would be stuck again for couple or weeks if lowering copper line. i followed 22' measurement possibly of latest era. hmmm... you gave me important thinking for what to do with it now.... i like it being lower too....not like cutty sark up to rudder up I also have few questions Rob. you wrote aou are going to paint aour coppers yellow. would you mind engplighten me what paint are you going to use for it? i myself hate leaving it copper i prefer yellow color so i would like to do the same if you dont mind of course. i have great experience and outcome with revell enamel paints - very smooth thin layers. but i have to check for color and i dont even know how to make copper paltes from tapes i never done it before so i have to try it on somehow. having zero experience. but i am not there yet. another point i am really curious is - lets see last photo - it is intereating than ! copper plates are laid out following planking pattern? this is really beautiful and i would say unusual aproach it almost look like planks u der copper are visibl but its decieving as coppering is done exactly following planking strakes. . for example on cutty sark plates are laid horizontally ! I have crothers book so copper plates are explained in plenty and way the were mounted. so i would like to dollow this pattern as on last photograph. earlier coppering like photo in the midel or original one after built seem to me been done horizontally exactly as cutty sark was...from the photo this is only assumption aybe you know better. when planks are black it doesnt matter if last two lines are thicker but i dont want to spoil overall effect of "proper planking.". i have to think it out morě Thanks much for observation Rob. v.

After i lined Up and reached Copper line, there wont be painstaking planking downwards, no tapering just very plain messy approach to fill hull and speed Up as much as i Can. IT Will be covered by copper so i dont see the point... Using 5 mm planks now - no length paying attention etc.... Its goes quick. Im afraid photos dont justify magnitude she IS in that scale. Huuge. All of a sudden She Will be planked ! Yay

Rob you are quick. wow fantastic stuff. if you wont mind ill trY to learn this from you ! V.

Its been busy here I aplaud to your drawing ability Rich detailing wise. measures aside bow is perfect i woudl say from the point i have it in head every day when working with it stern as well maybe one bit id have to look to books is sternpost curvature when meeting rudder hole. i thought its littel smaller but as planks foloow it makes perfect sense like this. i like rudder sketch going inside and the shape. and keel measures waterway and sheer is measured as well. just wow. pretty amazing stuff i can tell.

I will paint black once sanded George. No second coat. i was playing with idea to aply thin veneer ebony dyed but to some point it seems fake to me. so no other coat hopefully wont be needed V.
