can you try to test-fit those separator jigs from steps 123-125 and 127 ? bc if the decks dont fit, then the lasered deck, quarterdeck and cabin bulkheads wont either -
I use a travel iron and a curved shape to clamp it around it

Planking down to the Waterline on Starboard side. I feel that the Limewood first layer was easier, the Walnut somehow doesnt want to cooperate Sanding will be done when weather outside permits (Tuesday hopefully). I'm tempted to experiment with another planking technique below the Waterline (never tried the "wrong" approach with drop planks and cutting planks to shape where they meet the wales) Like shown here on the "Incorrect" side:

Another one to follow - Cheers

Indeed, might be an option
-
me being a Blackpoweder Artillerist myself am a bit Anal about guns. But i will propably leave the swivels unpainted, although they should be easier to do
-
no progress on planking but doing the Guns to sit and wait (barrel test-fixed with Matte Varnish, will see if it holds) I hate Cast Carriages Test-Fit:

Same here, although only 20 years I like to read and write step by step instructions
-
The step process seems almost as Lego (aprt from the fairing and planking)

THANKS !!!

I had conflicting info on that one to be honest, saw some versions where people made 3 full widht, i just made 2 (the 1st one ist actually still part of the Bulwark planking) Yes, the Walnut is weird, i cant get any 2 planks to stay the same color after they touch a bit of water or glue even tho i have sorted them - as i said, this will get painted over, i am thinking Ochre/Black Paint scheme. I want to finish that damn Planking and fittings to move to the Sphinx, Masting will be done after i get clearance from The Admiral to purchase a Lathe He already plays with it, i rather he does with this than the Sphinx

Indeed, i was considering something like this I'm way off from this yet, finishing the planking requires that i sit down over this for an hour at least undisturbed per session, for the moment i am doing things i can do for 5 minutes, lay aside and then pick up again half an hour later - doesnt work with planking that way
-
Before doing anything either on the Lady or here, i need to tidy up my Workspace. Sooo, ordered additional Hobbyzone shelves: Should be plenty space now for work and store all tools and parts
-
Again a Brilliant idea, this requires it's own topic i believe

The gods were indeed merciful I'm not opening it

Actually no, i havent, can this be done on a Standard InkJet printer ?

Please ignore the Glue-Stains and scratches on the Planks, i am allowing my Son to help me out a bit and accidents happen. This post will be purely self-critique I have made some errors during Fairing - I was afraid to remove too much material - Ended up removing too little from the Bow Filler - I followed the Instructions from the Booklet: - Roughly faired the bulkheads and Bow Fillers - Glued them on - Glued the Prow/Keel assembly - Continued fairing the bulkheads I should have left the Keel/Prow assembly off the model for the whole fairing process, even try to do the first planking with the prow removed, the Problem is now, there is no space on the Prow to fit the main wale. I see 4 Possible Solutions: - Ignore and hope noone will notice - Leave the Wale off and hope that noone will notice - Try to sand it (but then i will definitely have sand away the walnut plank, i have decided to paint her anyway, so maybe...) - Glue some 1mm planking strip to the front face of the Prow (and to the bottom of the Keel), in order to add some substance there + cover it on the sides with Walnut veneer

Hello, I am looking for a supplier of cloth Flags here in EU, sadly neither Maritime models, nor Cornwall Model Boats ship to Mainland Europe anymore Or maybe anyone has tips or knows where to get Custom printed cloth flags ?

I couldnt resist already setting up a Placeholder for the Build Log. Sadly my Sphinx is still stuck waiting for release back to UPS from The Gods of Customs and Taxation (Can take up to 10 days from that point i heard) I paid the fees already, it would be cheaper to drive the 800km up to Chris and pick it up and back, not Chris's fault of course, just FYI for those from Germany, the Fees add up to about 1/4 of the Kit's Price My Log will propably not be as Tidy and she wont turn out as pretty as the others but even failures need to be documented. Tools prepared: - Exacto Knife and a few Stanleys as Backup - Various Shapes Modeller Files - Sandpaper different grit and Sanding Block - Sanding Sticks - Assortment of Tweezers - Different Army Painter and Citadel Brushes - Automatic Pencil and 30cm Steel ruler - Planking Vice - Guillotine for cutting planks - Travel Iron for Edge-Bending - Home-Made Plank bender tool made from Pliers - Dremel with sanding discs and barrels - CLAMPS and Vices - Airbrush - Various Vallejo Paints - Model Color and Model Air - PVA Glue

This is very good information for me

it looks like there is an opening where the water bottle is standing in this pic: @KirbysLunchBox when full-scale Frigate ?
-
Hm, this is interesting, would it be possible to exchange the Hatch and ladder, or would this be very bad regarding the authenticity of the model ? Like this: Edit: I take it back, it cant, because there is a ladder on the deck above in that place. Hmm, interesting find
