Hello Tom,

hmmmmm I think the best way to handle your planking is.........put Wood Filler on, then grind well...do this twice and at last you need a second planking 0.5mm Planking made of basswood. This Wood Typ is easier for a beginner to handle.

Do not be disappointed if some things do not work the first time. I broke off my first planking and tried it a second time ... then it worked.

Nevertheless nice progress and please stay with it

I send you the Pictures from my HMAV Supply earlier as Tom´s Block

Hello Alaska,

sorry I read that just now and Clare is right, sometimes you can get the Book by Ebay.

Well, my vacation is to end and I'm back home. With the Gros Ventre I build her soon further and thank you very much Brian 

Hi folks, I'm from the 06. until 26. August in Englewood Florida and maybe someone can give me an address (or more ​ ) for a good model shop and maybe a few addresses for beautiful sightseeing or something like that. 

Here it goes again after my vacation......!!!!

Hello and a good Morning to all,

I thank you both and yes my workshop now is really big but absolutely awesome. 

No more worries about a dirty guest room     and now I can leave everything when guests come   

I'm still alive 

Our move to the new house is finally finished, my new shipyard has built up and soon it will be resumed here   

Stay tuned

Our move into the new house is finished and my new shipyard is built up, everything is back in place and I continues here in my buildlog.

Now here are some pictures of my progress on the sovereign:

I've been working with gold foil and the 6 Parts must be polished

Hi folks, I'm still alive.....!!!   

We move at the end of the month in a house and there I have a Shipyard of 20 m²....coooooool 

For this reason, I have already packed my entire shipyard and this is already in the new house. 

So I do not know when I can continue to build my ships at the moment but I still read here in between in the forum and I am glad when it finally goes further. 

I hope everything goes well and I see you soon again.   

Thank you Brian, thank you 

You're so right Dick, with every step you will be better and this is important to me......!! Learn learn learn to make the next steps better   

Here some pictures from the sternpart and the the frames are not done yet, will only show me how it goes further. All this is not 1000%, I'm doing this for the first time but I can live with that   

Thank you Dick and you are right. I have to made the frame 63 anyway the second time, because yesterday I cut the first "gunport" sorry I don't know the word for this (you can see it on the picture) and made the next mistake........I cutted on the wrong site

Here you can see what I mean   

Hi Antony,

 that's a nice progress what you've done. I like it, well done....!!

Hello Panagiotis,

Although this is not my time for this kind of warships but you are doing a fabulous work on this ship.....Brilliant Details and your deck planking is great.....!!

Nice looking metalwork.  It's that sort of thing that makes a model really stand out.

 

Bob

Bob says the right words, absolut brilliant work.

Hi to all, thank you for your comments and all the "likes" you did....!!

Today I build my first Frame (Nr. 63),first I had to do was sawing the frame out, than sanding on my "Sanding table", than sanding with hands and at last I put the tree nails on. The color from the tree nails are too bright, I have to find out what I can change.

Here are the pictures:

Thank you Nils, thank you 

Thank you Mark, .....transom timbers......learned something again   

Here I have some pictures from my  self-built " Sanding Table" 

A little progress on the cabare I have to report 

I make the stern timbers but two on the right side are still being made. Sorry I don´t know the English words of these components. The two stern timbers on the left side are not yet glued therefore they are not straight but everything fits well together....!!! Some parts I made 5 ore 6 times until they were correctly   

Here are the pictures 

Sorry that I answer today, I had 4 days late shift and thank you Karl for the link but sadly it starts quite late. The first 1500 and more steps are already done   

Hi Chris, you are invited to watch my first steps and my mistakes....... 

Tomorrow I have some more pictures for you. Today I have no pleasure anymore, I'm tired like a dog

Jeeeep, looks good

Thank you Dick :)

Hi Dick, I know I nerve sometimes     but I couldn't find this parts on the picture below.

Thank you for your help again   

Unusual but effective   I've never seen this before, great.....!!!!

nil desperandum, Tom. No need to remake the knee.  Much as Karl has shown, after you have completed and fitted the transom timbers, fashion piece and last 2 frames, simply fit some timbers below the lowest transom beam and shape them in situ with your friendly Dremel drum sander. Dick

 

Thank you Dick, sounds good to me and this is what i try to do.

 

 

Another point. Please note there is a step at a slightly lower level for the step of the forward half of the full frame. It also has a hole for a dowel. You do not appear to have done this.

 

I did finish it today and now I make the frames of the stern

I need to learn to work more slowly, otherwise I forget some steps or make mistakes     

 

 

brilliant craftsmanship , incredibly. I will follow this build log with great interest. I like the half ship, that looks very good.

Hi Ed,

you're doing a fantastic work on your ship, I think it is absolutely amazing.....great....!!
