I think the two frames in front of the transom are swapped -
Hello lovelies, As you can see, the “every skirting board is ready before installation” thing is quite a tedious business. Each of these strips takes about an hour and a lot of love before it reaches its destination. And I can still be happy that these strips can be bent quite well without watering or steaming, despite the oak. Originally, if the material had been unruly, I had planned to make a second fuselage to bend the strips correctly. The upshot of this is that if the Palatine has such strange ideas again, send me the men with the straitjacket and have me committed.

OcCre Bounty Launch parts ID - help needed
Pfälzer replied to Highlander's topic in Wood ship model kits
Well, I'll blend in. Occre replaces missing parts without any problems, as I did with the Esmerald. Two brass etched parts were missing, they sent me the complete plate as a replacement. I'll do the staining after assembly. But I only use white glue for gluing. You just have to use a spatula to remove anything that sticks out after each strip on the fuselage, for example. After curing, I also go over it with 1000 grit sandpaper and that's it. I think the problem usually arises when using superglue, which I have not used since the Lady Nelson for this reason.

Today i begin the second planking
-
Upps, im Kit sind nicht genug Räder. Also müssen diese Teile warten, bis Occre den Rest schickt. So, jetzt fange ich mit der zweiten Beplankung an. Ich glaube, das ist die Stelle, an der ich anfangen kann. Was denkst du, ist es richtig oder zu gerade?

The first one

San Martin by MikkiC - Dusek - 1:72

You see, I struggled with strips twice as thick and sanded them down to half the size. The idea of using toothpicks is not at all unwise. Great thinking -
've been working a bit on the gun mounts over the last few days, and once again I don't like the kit part. So I took 1x2mm oak and glued several strips together and gave it the first coat of stain. I also stained the tail section for the first time. I wanted to see if I had worked cleanly enough to avoid glue stains before I started planking the hull in this way. I will also have to start thinking about where exactly I will add the first strip. The building plan calls for starting at the so-called master plank, which sits very low towards the keel. I tend to proceed from top to bottom. The plan also calls for the keel to be fitted after the second planking, which I haven't done yet. I have my doubts, especially with the oak, which is quite prone to splintering when sanded. So far I've done well with fitting after the first planking.

It's going like hotcakes at your shipyard. It must be great fun to work with such perfect material. Greetings from the Palatinate

The written version of the photos. As you can see, I've finished the transom so far. No big deal, everything is straight. I just wanted to take the boredom out of it a little with the thinner strips. I could have done without the upright center plank, the keel goes over it. Then to the matter of the oak and its willingness to cooperate. It really leaves a lot to be desired. In the raw state, the strips can be bent and turned so that it is a pleasure to work with them. Only the sanding is a little exciting. Remember, each strip is sanded by hand before assembly, don't use a Dremel. A little too much tension when you let it slide through the sandpaper and it splinters like something else. If it is then stained or even glued to the model, the whole thing becomes a stress test. It hardens incredibly so that cutting with a scalpel is almost impossible. Sanding against the grain becomes a game of poker. Here, too, the good oak splinters faster than you can say Babb. I've been working on the gun ports since yesterday evening. Only possible with a very fine key file, patience and a lot of love. That's why, unlike the interior planking, I won't be staining the hull until all the moldings are in place. Everything is only glued with Ponal under pressure, I don't use superglue under the wood. Have a nice Sunday Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Hello lovelies, At this point, I have to take a quick look. You need to change your perspective a little. I thought the same thing when I opened my first box from one of these manufacturers. I cursed, cursed, cursed. Fortunately, I had a kit of better manufacture beforehand, and had plenty of material left over to be able to rebuild pretty much anything. As a result, I bought it again from a cheap supplier because of the price. I just had to buy high-quality material for about 50 euros to get the same end result. The next approach, it encourages your creativity and also means that everyone has a unique piece at home. It would be boring if everyone bought the same update package. It's just a train of thought, maybe the next one will be from a better manufacturer, who knows. Make something of it, I can't take care of everything. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Today i begin to plank inside

Hello Mikki, I had also considered the Dusek. But after I realized that I wanted to replace half of the material anyway, I went for the cheaper option. The Dusek set is also a different scale and therefore more detailed. I have already sanded the hull roughly. The planking went excellently, none of the strips had to be pre-bent in any way. The oak strips that I have planned for the second layer can also be attached without any problems as far as I have been able to test them dry. Since some difficult layers had to be attached with the help of clamps and had to dry first, I took a look at the gun mounts for the guns. You can imagine that I don't really like this plywood variant either. So I thought about making the parts myself from all the oak material from the carpenter, but then decided to build them from small strips. Due to small changes in the construction plan, my hull will be thicker than planned, which is why I need wider strips for the end. So I also ordered some very fine oak strips, because you can't treat yourself to anything else. I will probably have to wait for these now as I had the idea of planking the transom with strips of different widths to create a nice pattern. Today I'm off to Luxenburg to smuggle tobacco and coffee. Take care and have a nice Sunday Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
