    Finished the binnacle
    Started with a framework of basswood

    and added trim made from 1/16 wide strips of walnut veneer 


    needs a little more sanding before paint

    Well...here we are, almost 3 months since I visited the Hanna...I was busy with some non-ship builds, sometimes I need a bit of a break...but this build will resume, so today's progress
     
    The mast hole are drilled and the dowels cut to length
      
    and teh deck grates have been assembled and cut to rough shape, they all still need to be finish sanded

    nothing is attached just placed to check sizes

    jct reacted to CDW in Finished - Albatros D.V by CDW - Wingnut Wings - 1:32 Scale - Plastic   
    This is one of the last flying models I built before I rekindled my interest in plastic models. This is a 1/4 scale Fleet Biplane. The Fleet was a trainer purchased by the US Army Air Corps in the years prior to WW2. This particular model has a wingspan of 8 feet and is powered by a 1.8 cubic inch single cylinder four-stroke cycle engine that has been converted (by me) from glow plug to an electronic spark ignition system. It currently resides hanging from the rafters in my garage along with a number of other flying models. It is covered to protect it from the elements of dust and insects.

    Here the color coats have been applied over the preshaded wings.
    Colors are Tamiya, the mauve color being one mixed in the recommended ratio provided in the painting instructions.
    A trace of paint slipped past my masking of the lower right wing that will require some touch up. 😕 Maybe I should leave it as-is just to add a human touch.

    Thanks!
     
    I thought it was time to get back to this build and finish it.  Next up is to mount the guns on the lower deck.  I drilled holes in the gun carriages and the deck and glued brass rad into place to pin the guns to the deck.  Next was rigging.  I started by attaching hooks to the 6 double blocks for the carriage tackles.
