Eddie reacted to aydingocer in Bosphorus Sandal by aydingocer - FINISHED - Tersane Model - Scale 1:16 - Classic Turkish fishing boat
Build day: 14
1,5 hours today, 35,5 hours in total.
Continuing with the handrails.
4 of the 2x2mm strips need to be rounded to a D shape. Two of them will be used on the outmost rails, 2 of them will be aligned approximately 1cm below the handrails, outside the, parallel to rails.
Below is a rough cross-section illustration of how the rails are formed:
Strips filed and sanded to D shape:
Gluing the two inner rail strips:
This is all for today. Next, I will glue the D shaped strips and sand all of them to level.
Thanks for watching.

Next in line is adding the handrails. Instead of struggling with bending a single wide strip, they will be constructed by gluing thinner strips together.
It starts with 1x2mm walnut strips glued right over the topmost hull plank, following it flush. (This is the part I finished today)
Next, more walnut strips (2x2mm) will be added both inside and outside of this strip.
First strip being glued:
First line of strips completed.
This is the status after today.
Thanks for watching!

Strips on the inner edge, both front and rear decks:

Added the deck lid and the 1x5mm strip across the ends of the planks (on the right side, you see the 1mm edge)

Started my own version of stern deck, planking directly on the hull.
If you check my earlier posts, I had prepared the deck independently off the hull as instructed, planking on the false deck supplied. However the false deck had been warped so badly in the package that it kept warping back no matter how many times I soaked it and clamped flat until dry. With a last hope I completed the planking but still it wasn't acceptable to my expectations.
So now I first glued the 1x5mm strip across the 3rd rib and proceed with planking:
This is the structure which I discarded:
Stern deck planked:

All the ribs are now ready and glued in place.

Continuing with the "ribs" and proceeding on the stern deck.
Bending the 2x2mm strips using the electric bender:

Build day: 12
2 hours today, 30 hours in total.
Today I spent some time for installing the support bars (or ribs or whatever they are called). I used the electric hot plank bender most of the way instead of the Amati clamping plank bender in order not to make any dents, since in this case the inner side of the strips are visible (as opposed to hull planking where the outer side is visible). This process slowed down the work significantly.
Here is the work so far. The boards on the floor are still dry-fitted. Thanks for watching.

Floor boards dry-fitted to see how they would look. You may notice that I also added the strips between the ribs on front deck. They look a bit different than in the plan but I wanted to do them this way. I also glued the middle seat. Time will tell if I plank that, too, or just lacquer nicely... time will show.

Step 4: Flip the boards and sand the surface (sanding better be done at this stage, before gluing the engine box lower frames (see 2nd image):
Glue the lower frames of the engine box:

Step 3: Cut the binding strips (which will be on the bottom, once the board structures are flipped) and glue them:
I thought it would be easier to align the boards if I start by gluing the binding strips to the middle board first:

Step 2: Use template drawings to cut the boards from 10x2mm strips:
Temporarily aligned to check that they are almost symmetric and identical:

Build day: 11 - Floorboards
I wanted to move a bit ahead and make the floorboards today. I could have continued with installing the "ribs" but I just wasn't up to do extensive strip bending work, mainly because I would have to use hot electric bender in order to avoid dents and bites.
So, first step: Cut off the 1:1 scale drawing from the plan sheet and take a copy of it:

Front deck top, wall, cabinet cover and ribs are in place.
It will be complete once I have installed the 1x2mm strips along the edges of the deck and the wall in order to cover the gaps.

I reconstructed the front deck cabinet cover by carrying the measurements on a piece of paper:

There is no option for me but to rip the decks off and plank straight on the bulkheads. There is no hope trying to reuse the decks. So I found suitable strips (slightly thicker to compensate for the thickness of the plywood deck guide) from my older stock and started planking right on the bulkheads. Note I used walnut planking on the front wall just for a change of taste.

I noticed after preparing the decks that the panels had returned back to their warped shape even after planking them. This is really annoying. Check the photos below to see. Especially in the rear deck (left side of the photo below) it forms large gaps in the sides and does not sit on the bulkheads properly. Morevoer, I had already glued the front deck

Ayding,
Very interesting build, which is coming together nicely.

4 hours today, 23 hours in total.
Today I continued planking the front and rear decks plus front deck wall.
Strips used:
Main planking : 1x5mm,
Middle of the lids: 1x4mm
Frames of the lids 2x2mm (inner part), 1x3mm (outer part), the outer part strip is glued on its 1mm edge, hence it is higher than the lid's middle area.
With the one in my previous post, they are altogether 4 pieces.
Thanks for watching.

Deck sheets. They are aft and stern decks, walls, seat in the middle etc. The sheets come with fake lines to simulate planking and you can leave them like that if you like but I wanted to go for real. I found some leftover 1x5mm strips and I will use them to plank.
Planking starts:

Clean up by rasping, filing and sanding:

Then, it is time rip off the bulkheads from the lines indicated. They come half pre-cut and as I mentioned I had put masking tape on those sections which will be removed, where the plank strips rest on, so that it would be easier to rip off.
This is a bit a rough job where you use violence at some points, but overall the process went well. Sometimes I had to be cautious so that I did not rip all the part at once but instead ripped it piece by piece (see photos)
For example here I break the bulkhead piece by piece until I reach the line:
Quite an amount of rubble:

Once satisfied with sanding (150 grit followed by 240 grit) it is time to remove the supporting dock:
