Perfect Mike, nice start to the planking. I'm curious to see the progress and how it will look in the boxwood.
-
Beautiful Gary, congratulations on completing the planking. And yes one hard part is done and more to come. But that's the fun of this project.

Hi my friends, I can finally show a little - big progress. Before gluing the moldings I moved away from the plans and assembled the channels to prepare them for later fitting on the model. And then I glued the middle moulding first and then the bottom one. I chose this method and the friezes I'll try to glue in the end. But before that happens, I've done what I've been looking forward to for many months.

Congratulations on finishing Winie Mike. Beautiful and clean work, a level hard to match for me. So thank you for the whole "building log" which will serve as an inspiration for me for a long time to come. And I also keep my fingers crossed in the next project which I will like to follow as well.

Thanks guys, so I'm going for it, wish me luck. Still the scrapers, I'll just repeat what I wrote on the previous page: I made the scraper from a razor knife freehand with diamond discs and with a magnifying glass. Profil was continually tested and fine-tuned. And the fancy mouldings are scraped with freehand too. No other special tool. But as I wrote I used pear wood. Because in cherry the scraper tended to float and the thickness wasn't consistent either. So harder wood is probably better. Also, the width of the scraper profile must match the width of the prepared strip.
-
Thanks for the compliments guys. I've scraped off the other moldings and I'm just one step away from gluing them in place. But I still have my doubts. The thing is it's a bit wider than the monograph mentions. I stayed with Chuck's earlier idea of making the bottom molding wider. So the result that the top is 2.5 mm the middle almost 3 mm and the bottom 3.17 mm. What do you think ? I also made a scraper for the top molding for homogeneity and I will use probably only the finely cleaned spiral laser cut.

Beautiful result Jim, congratulations. And It's also nice to add a crew.

wow you're off to a good start Rob. It's great that you are able to make the plans in CAD, for me it is a totally unknown.
-
With each update I like it more and more Chuck.

Hi guys, just a little push forward, I put down the shingles, then I used 3mm masking tape to test the run of the central moulding, then I formed the support strip for more comfortable installation - gluing molding strip (at least I hope so) and finally I tried to make a scraper with a suitable profile. I'll see tomorrow if I still like it or if I'll change it. the friezes on the photo are just test in a wrong colour
-
wow, that's beautifully crafted Frank 👍
-
Thanks for the kind words and likes guys. Now I have a shingle roof to do and then I finally have to make the fancy moldings. But I still have to figure out which profile of scraper to make. I have the friezes printed and I'm also thinking if I should spray the friezes with some varnish, fixative before cutting them out. Maybe something with a satin finish.
-
When you also have assistants, I'm not surprised that your build looks so good.🙂 But seriously really nice tight and clean joints, well done Glenn.

Thank you for your comments and likes. After a little break I came back to work on the gallery today. I didn't manage to get all the angles to match one hundred percent. But I hope that in the final view it will be enough.
-
It looks really good Gary. I'm sure you can handle the last belt.
-
Congratulations on the completion of this amazing build Patrick. If I someday get back to my Revenge I'll know where I can look for inspiration.

I have only just discovered this wonderful work. I'm reading from the beginning and bookmarking it. Very inspiring Jason. Such precise clean work, attention to detail... Just wonderful and I look forward to the continuing. And I would still like to ask what colour red are you using? Thanks
-
wow very exciting announcement. I'm bookmarking this project. I like Bristol very much. I think Chris Watton is also planning a kit but watching the scratch build is even more fun. So good luck Rob and I look forward to seeing more photos of this project.
-
I look forward to seeing more pics of the deck planking Glenn. So far it looks very good. The center belt and the binding planks are challenging but then it's quite fast.
