Continuation...well im not that good ať making miniatures. ..i just say its really challenging. ...herpes the outcome ....and bowsprit Has Been assembled and firmly fastened, wedge drew trhu and glued to knightheads.
-
Continue...tried to angle elegant curves on cap...its a little smaller but i Will leave IT as such....brass bands Will go on top of cap and on bowsprit itself etc..

Bowsprit. I decided to make IT as its discussed atm so its convenient to hlave All infos ať hand and i would need IT secured firm before planking wales as i made knightheads foolishly fragile. Now i Made bowsprit quite complex. To achieve square boot out of knightheads and to fit in i Made IT out of two woods. Round and square Stuck into each other from some rubbish Wood i found around. I just say IT was pure fun what i like ať modeling the most. Inuendo of how to contruct things myself. I Made first a bit Bad around knightheads but second fit i think. Its temporary as angle Will sa bit steeper. As center line suggest. Its maybe not that Elegant as Robs but when painted black i guess IT would suggest one piece of Wood. I tried some macro photos. You May note that planks touchijg owsprit Will be offset back from planks below knightheads. Now i need to continue with bowsprit maybe. Maybe later who knows:)) any comment or remark welcomed. V.

I work similarly. sometimes not sometimes when having time. good news Rob. Just got message from parcel that my planks are heading to me. looks like this week finally . yay !

I like Also idea being actually very far from that. Speaking of - ID be Happy to finish hull deck planking, bowsprit and outer stanchions by end of year. Than i Can put a flag and celebrate with famous photo I would like to start studying decko houses around autumn, but watching yours ahead and what we hlave in amichaels books i think it Will be great help and much easier than hull construction...:) If i event put masts on her, im sure IT Will be composite so ..probably not latest éra...i Wish spending more tíme on houses detaile as possible as could be dome similar as with cutty but this tíme more properly. I eant to také really slow pace with her...this tíme

youre right Rob. as we are utterly different I naturally lean towards her photograph at yeard even almost before compeltion... my choice is clean colors as possible.

Oh Rich, you make it all simple for us with encyclopedic knowledge i feel sometimes guilty as using this up without making effort to study those things myself - or read them up from books. well anyway, this is the say i will put the coat on! I love idea molding being black with golden entrance and upper rail natura varnished. Hay ho! Not that far as of now as my planks are on the way to me! by the way, guys, i settled on this- I decided to plank her as close to origina las possible ( but not entirely) meaning i will use 3 mm wide planks ( 2.44mm woudl be original thicknees as of 1:72 scale. from sheer downwards approx half of vessel where i would continue with 5 mm for fact i will cover it with yellow metal replication. i hope after sanding those aoudl be good enough to paint finally black.

Still preparations.... Hi. Asi i went for thick planks 1.5 mm, I decided i hlave to widen glue sticking area as mjuch as possible fór planks meeting stem. Because rabbet line was too shallow to acomodate such planks I widened stem at the planks side by adding strip of alaskan cedar and sanded IT flush following stem Arrow and left wide at the rabbet back side. I used soft Wood to fill space between first planks and rabbet so planks are glued tight. Will hlave to do poassibly same to sternpost but IT Will be arranged as planking goes. Hopefully its All for preparations. Thanks for watching . V.

Rich, Rob would you mind guys a shed a little light about outer moldings and ornamental colors? i admit i am a bit confused myself feom various photographs seems to me well of course for each captain all splendor was individual if i remember correctly from Michaels book. speaking of it ahead of planking which is going to happen very soon! i spoke today with guy from czech republic ( funny i get magerial from another country but thats just best shipmodel shop i know off in nearby europe though:)) it might help me to decide overall picture of the ship. as Rob stressed probably first is to be determine timelap to where the ship is to be buidl ! well at ghis point im not even sure i will mast it because im set on spending this winter again drawing houses and deck instalation on computer and than laser cut it etc.... so, just from my persepctive - i must admit apart of beautiful golden leaves, i like myself also subl almost "no splendor of simpel uncolored or water splashed color? im not sure wood as seen on various photographs also with outer sheerlines uncolored ...well its b&w pictures but i assume white would contrast to the point it would be clearly visible on bw photographs...headache headache:)))

Rob deck is fantastic !
-
Thank you Rich Thats exactly what i needed. youre safe bet. I think its too low now will have to redo.
-
Rich, thats right with her size. but to me she looks small or perfect after 1:24 cutty. Today I constructed port opening on port side, tried to locate it from Michaels book. I outdoneyself today So now both sides are faired and planks are on the way.cant wait...
-
Thanks Johnny for comment. Yeah this method worked fo me previously so i stick with it. i do it exactly as you wrote I lay it across so it gives grace curve and search for hole between bulkhead it the is one. all throughout the hull. V.

Fairing fairing... I returned to Hulk again. Its never ok with boats to say ship shape.. But finally i finished starboard side to pointa i Can say good enough by eye and by photos. Portside to be completed gopefully next week and Bull Will be definitely ready for planking. ! I work different say fromRobs, i domy want to put woodfiller or cemented layers to event bumps so i need to make sure Hull IS sa much good as possible beforehand. After planking with 1.5 mm thick planks i plan put another thin coat dyed with liberon ebony dye to ensure black on wanlut strips. Will try first. Photos from checking smoothness of Hull...thank you for watching...
-
Thanks tou Rich , im aloe to read my own thread oh, i did exactly what tou wrote.
-
very nice indeed George.
-
Thanks Rob i should really start planking though still waiting for planks. i believe such subtle detail is probabl even better obtainable bu sanding off finished planked hull if planks are thick enough to allow it. well...
-
Oh looking at last Rich post i do IT worngly. Its Vice versa. So redoing IT.
-
Rob, we know Ruch and his determination. I surrendered many times before ( poking fun here) so we Can tell ourselves that we are not buidling POF models with futtocks :). :))) byt for the sake of discussion i put another layerof complexity to stern in hope that line Will be perfectply visible by sharp bent of planks.you can see in photos how. Lets hope It will work.

Yes Rob I also believe its celarly post timber angle but i would say it is more complicated than that. Even Crothers bible ! is not showing one stern with full convex stern frames of latest era only very convex ones like on this picture. Thus i believe that bump is very delicate and almost impossible to spot certainly not visible from very far. as it Almost almost drive beautiful curvy line. but it is there therefore it is not easy to make it perfect on model even for bigger scales. ill try to photograph it today on my stern.

Friends I follow this one with interest i fully agree with Rob, it would have been impossible on his scale from planking thickness eprspective etc.. Im fully aware of that sharpish curvature and hopefully it will be pronounced on mine stern i will try to photograph it. thx Rich for keeping esharp eye. V.
