AnobiumPunctatum reacted to Stuntflyer in HM Cutter Cheerful 1806 by Stuntflyer (Mike) - FINISHED - 1:48 scale
Hello everyone! While waiting for some gun paint to arrive I made the pin rails and started on the belaying pins. Earlier photos show that I used the WeCheer to hold the Quoin handles. Well, after only a few months of use it seems that there is some kind of loose connection in the wiring. I switched over to the Dremel for the belaying pins.

Well, folks, we've come to the conclusion of this log. The Greenwich Hospital barge is about to row off, colors flying. Thanks to all who have looked in, 'liked', commented, complimented and discussed her. It's been quite the experience. I really appreciate the support of this electronic community over the past months. Thanks to each and every one of you, world-wide.
So, what's next, I wonder?

Absolust brilliant model building. This is one of the models, where I think, model building is art. The model can serve as master for all of us.

Well, the sweeps are now fixed in position, after a rare weekend off work. Hopefully I made the right call on displaying them in this way.
I still have the two ensigns to complete and fly on their staffs before calling it quits. I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Beautyful framing job. What's about planking the hull over the waterline? I am abit curious that you oiled the complete hull. I've made the experience, that wood glue don't work on oiled timber.

Thank you!The oiled side would not be planked at all, the other side would be fully planked, so it was not oiled

AnobiumPunctatum reacted to Chuck in HM Cutter Cheerful 1806 by Chuck - FINISHED - 1:48 scale - kit prototype
Just completed the tiller after mounting the rudder. It was cut from a 1/8" thick sheet of boxwood. Then it was carefully rounded off and shaped using files and sanding sticks. I could have left it natural but it just looked to bright and "blah" looking. So I painted it red and highlighted the parts of the handle on tiller. I like this much better. I am sure everyone has their preference but I have also seen the tiller painted black on contemporary models. I dont think I would have liked it like that.
Next up I will be making the bowsprit. Here are some overall shots with the deck almost completed except for the bowsprit bits and bow chasers.

Thank you Pat, Anthony, Greg and Greg .
Natural circulation as hotter air rises I guess Greg.
Hi all,
It seems like an age since I last updated the log, but I've been busy with the tedious (but fun) work of planking and treenailing the hull :
I've clear coated the hull inside and out to the level of the wales. Further work on Drift Rails etc will be done before I go higher :
I also fitted the afore-mentioned Port Liners :

AnobiumPunctatum reacted to kellrandy in Triton (1:48) by kellrandy (Randall)
Hey guys, been a while since I posted anything on my build, but I've been working on it quite regularly. I haven't been all that good at taking pictures of the progress though, sorry. So it's framed up, faired, keelson in place, and most of a strake of the lower deck clamps in for support while I faired the outside of the hull. Now I've started the stern. I think it's coming together ok. As always, let me know if you guys see anything amiss that I can improve upon.
Thanks,
Randy
