Charter33 got a reaction from AJohnson in Woodwork/Model making workshop by Charter33 - FINISHED - Scale 1:1
Thanks Canute. The ali sheet has been stored for a few years and needed something to hide all the dings and scratches. I used to use valve grinding paste and a piece of wooden dowel for this, but this time lashed up a tool using a dremel mandril, a 22 mm dia. disc of 4 mm thick softwood with the central hole recessed for the screw head, double sided tape and circles of abrasive Scotch Bright pad. The porthole faces north west and this finish catches the setting sun nicely on a good day.
Cheers,
Graham

These panels have had a preliminary fixing and my next job is to remove them and then re-fit with additional sealant.
The barge board/ fascia board has also been completed on this gable end using the spare length of wall cladding I had left over.
Once the front gable end has been finished I can start working on the interior beginning with the floor.
Progress!

Graham.

The roof shingles are now all sealed.
This is my neighbour's view of the build, a better one then I have!
The aluminium porthole lining panels have been cut to size, 'engine turned'
and rolled to profile.
These panels have had a preliminary fixing and my next job is to remove them and then re-fit with additional sealant.
The barge board/ fascia board has also been completed on this gable end using the spare length of wall cladding I had left over.
Once the front gable end has been finished I can start working on the interior beginning with the floor.
Progress!
Cheers,
Graham.

Charter33 reacted to Roger Carter in Hacchoro by Roger Carter - Woody Joe - 1/24
Well, here we go. That smell of old cigar boxes hits you as you break the outer packaging. Very aromatic timber. Hoping to keep this build log for this kit. And will be making use of the excellent translation of instructions by Catopower.
May try and add some extra detail by making my own non-printed sails.
Delivery from Japan to UK was very reasonable and quick. And as a bonus, no hit for tax or duty this time

Bitumen shingles in place. The sun was setting as the top ridge was fitted so sealing with a heat gun and finishing edges with felt adhesive will have to wait until tomorrow...
Top ridge was completed using offcuts of shingles and 'detail strip' minimizing waste. The roof has stood up to some exceptionally wet weather this week without any leaks which is encouraging. I'm going to neaten up the gable ends with facia boards, and apart from adding some guttering, and the porthole lining, the outside is pretty much finished.
Cheers,
Graham.
