Hi Sjors,

 

Just found your build log and picked up a chair to follow your progression.

 

I can not wait for the result of the paint job with a spray can.

 

Regards Peter

You are welcome Peter.

I will see how it goes with that spray can.

May want to do a test to compare a spray can to using a brush on the hull. The brush strokes on a wooden sailing ship would look more natural than the static look of spray paint, in my opinion. 

I understand your feelings Glenn.

That’s why I always use a brush but my wife was saying....try a can.

And who am i to go against the Admirals order? 😛

Sjors

Why i’am not surprised how it looks.

Like all the other ones.....amazing! 
Great job again Doris so far.

Sjors

Planking is done!

Also the bulwarks.

next thing is the rudder and then de paint job...

We have bought a spray can so hopefully it is going wright......

If not, sandpaper is close 🙂

Cheers,  Gerry

@Gerry,

Have faith in what you are doing.

You do it better then de most of us for the first time!
Be proud of it, as I should be it when this was my first planking!

I put a little offcut of timber on the inside bulwark, where the holes are being drilled. 

 

Just saved any possible breakout/splintering of the timber there.

I read that in the manuel and i did that 🙂

Everything went just fine and on with the planking again....

@Glenn,

Thanks and also for the likes!

Sjors

Thanks for the likes 🙂

Inner bulwarks are planked and painted.

Let's move on with drilling the holes for the eyebolts and planking further on the outside.

Sjors

I can call of the search party at the Kralingsebos??

You are back 😃and with a great result!

Painted by hand......i have to learn how to get it that way.

Sjors

That looks amazing!

Great job so far!

keep on going...

Sjors

Derek, i was lost in the mist with that uvrou.

So i look it up and maybe you know it all ready but here it is:

From The Collaborative International Dictionary

Euphroe or uphroe or uvrou.

A block or long slat of wood perforated for the passage of the crowfoot or cords by wich an awning is held up.

Now i need a drink!

Sjors

And another Flirt😁

Welcome and take your time.

But most important.....enjoy!

And another thing what is very useful.....Measure twice, cut once ... And i know what l’m talking about.

Sjors

Hi Derek,

I love what you are doing!

Airbrush is something that i have not try yet.

Bottle of paint and a brush works fine for me🙂

Then something else.

Maybe i understand it wrong but “jung frau” is German and not Dutch.

In Dutch we call it “jonge vrouw” young woman.

Sjors

Second planking done.

Sanded and so smooth as possible.

It was a fun job to plank this little one

I'm happy with the result.

Thanks Sjors, but you do know this my first ever ship of this type, right?  

That doesn't matter if it is your first ship.

I build  a few more and you are all ready doing a better job.

I take a look from time to time 🙂

Sjors

The stern is planked .

Also placed the master planks.

Next update when she is closed with the second planking....

Don't think that it is the day after tomorrow  because work has started again.......

Sjors

.

Thanks Glenn,

I just order that gorilla stuff what James is talking about.

But i think that it is cheaper to get it here then from the usa......

No need to try harder James!  The manual is superb.  As a beginner I couldn't begin to take this on without something as good as that to help. 

I’m not a beginner but it is true what Gerry is saying.

When you look at the manual you can see that it is written by a modeler him self.

Sjors

Thanks Mugje,

I have found it at Bol.com 😄

It takes only 6 days before it arrives.

The Flirt from Chris Watton from England was only 3 days 🤣
But no rush....
 

Sjors

Thank you both for the reaction.

I will see if i can find it in Holland.

@SpyGlass, (Derek?)

I don’t use filler, just a piece of wood.

Sjors

Thanks for all te reactions.

Question.

What is CA gel?

Is that a kind of super glue?

Never hear of it.

I normally use wood glue that hold on the plank after 15 minutes and dry solid after 24 hours......

I will take care that I lay the planks smooth to each other.

I know that my sternpost is a little tiny at the bottom.

I was to fanatic with sanding.

I hope I can make the solution to glue a little wood on it and sand it down to the same thickness as the rest of the sternpost.

It's gonna be painted  but I will see.

Sjors

First planking is done!

On the last days of my vacation I have planked and did a lot of sanding.......

Normally I take a little sander machine called a mouse but because it is a small model I do it by hand.

The blisters are now on it 😢

Time to heal 🙂

I must say that the planking was not that easy...

Normally I have plank models that are over 1 meter long.

But I have done it.

And now tho the stern..

And then the second planking.

I only have to figure out how I clamp that second planking....

Maybe pushpins or those pins that you are using on a board?

Sjors

I take  a seat and will follow this journey.

I always thought that the Enterprise is a starship 😃

Sjors

Nice fix Gerry!

When you have place the stern with the fragile parts be careful when you are planking.

It’s easy to break those parts!

Sjors

Just wow!

Sjors

Welcome home stranger!

It’s nice to see you back.

Anja was telling me that she see your name and say Hi to you!

Let us see what you are doing with this nice build!
