1st 2 planks no tapering, no soaking, just install (also, the Commodore sent one of his Marines to oversee construction) I am a bit concerned about the bulkheads tho, i noticed some of them started splitting after i pushed the pins in, so will have to see how to continue
-
Indeed, i find that i should have done it before painting

Or you start using Pins and a pusher @glennard2523 planking is where i will definitely slow down, although the admiral demands progress and help has been promised (aaand i still should finish the orlop)
-
Both sides are now glued, no pics yet, i will propably start the planking tomorrow
-
I dont have enough clamps to glue 2 sides at once, so waiting for glue to dry (i used a hairdryer first on the liners)
-
Clamps for drying
-
Huh, yea, well, i took a lot of coffee and cigarette breaks Anyways, the dreaded time of Planking is upon me (which also means that i will have to finish the outer planking on the port side of the Lady Nelson...)
-
But first of all, Step 130 Sansing took me about 3 Hours
-
Phew, finished the sanding just in time before it started raining The ears didnt make it tho, i will attempt to glue them with the upper patterns
-
I wouldnt have made it without the Sander...
-
Live Update, more ears broken, starboard Stern ready
-
Sanding... 80grit on the oscillating Tool for preliminary sanding, then sanding sticks and paper Result so far in starbord bow (looks ready, batten lies with good contact) Of course i already broke 2 of the quartedeck jig ears...
-
I use a building slip to hołd her down, find that using the privuded cradle doesnt allow holding it securely. Anyway, varnish then painting? I See you broke the part from the deck too

Painting the inner bulwarks. 2 thin layers of vallejo Airbrush Red applied with a brush Also prepared the spricketing patterns, waiting for the paint to dry and will fit Gundeck and spricketing

Come on, let the Spam flow in this Topic, i dont mind
-
That and his attempt to make a new manual in this build log - he just wants Chris to send him his Next prototype instead to James
-
I am following the instructions as laid out in the manual, i believe fairing is planned Just before the outer bulwark liners
-
Inner bulwarks fitted, painting tomorrow
-
shush, you make James jealous I try to catch up, sick leave until end of the week
-
I think you missed an important step in the Manual The one which says "Slow down, Step Back"... Brilliant progress
-
Step 80: gundeck and gun ports fitted I'm skipping steps 81-86 for now, These require Dremel and It's not Dremel mood. Moving On to sanding the inner bulwarks
-
Lower Deck with some useless Additions Although credit for the paint job in the aft bulkhead Goes to my son, he made some effort
-
Some people actually hate this, but i think the model has enough places where modelling and woodworking skills can or could be used, that it still can be a challenge. There are people, for whom even buying ready-made planking strips is considered cheating... I for one like how this kit is designed, definitely will raise the success factor (more people will finish it and less will stumble upon something they can't get around) Even my 5-year old can help me with fitting some parts, so it's a good family bonus
