Putting what I guess are steps on the side of the hull.
-
Now you are having fun.Planking the hull is one of the best parts of the build process.
-
Thanks!I used the original die cast part on the Ersatzia so I made a new tower.Came out well.
-
Getting the bell tower together!
-
...and got her mounted up after 4 coats of satin Polyacrylic..
-
Getting some deck details on.
-
Cool Frank!coming along quite nicely!
-
Fir sale:Minicraft 1/600 Titanic,has pre painted lower hull.25.00 dollars plus shipping.conus only.
-
Looks great Frank!What will you do about a display base?
-
Yeah Frank,when I made my old Billings Wasa/Ersatzia the wood was very dry and prone to shattering even when soaked overnight.When I applied Polyacrylic to the hull it took 3 coats!The wood just absorbed it all on the first and part if the second coats!

Construction was delayed while I purchased,routed,inlayed the bases,countersunk,sanded,stained and sealed tbe base board.I did get the cat heads on though.
-
Stained it with Minwax Cherry and just laid down the first coat of Polyacrylic.
-
Worked out well!now I have to sand,stain and seal the base board!
-
Yes!more stable too!
-
Yes that is the best way but I dont have one! (Have to get to Harbor Freight and pick one up when they are on sale). ANYHOW,my drill has a buikt in level that will hopefully allow me to drill the hole perpendicular. Ok tried it on scrap and it should work just fine!

Yes I went today because my wife wanted to go shopping and we needed a new propane cylinder for the grille.No Forstner bits came in 9/16 in the store but I did find an Irwin spade bit in the correct size.I will try it on a piece of scrap to see if it will work.If not I will order the bitt online and wait until it arrives.
-
Nice Frank!you really achieved a nice finish on the hull with a brush no less!Old school model ship building at its finest!
-
Yes I checked it out and a 9/16th Forstner bitt should do the trick.I will go to Lowe's tomrrow and see if I can buy one.
-
I wonder if I should get a forstner bit and inlay the brackets into the surface.
-
Not sure if this is the right section,but I purchased abd routed the display base for my AL Herminoe.
-
Yep that would work well too as long as the fit is good to ensure proper alignment of the cylinders.
-
Hey Wulf,it would be really cool to thread the ends of the cylinders so that they would screw into the engine block.Heck of a challenge to your machinng skills!

Boxed in and installed the railing.
