Shellac sanding sealer
Q A's Revenge replied to Tony H's topic in Painting, finishing and weathering products and techniques
This is a good article. http://www.homesteadfinishingproducts.com/htdocs/ChoosingFinish.htm I've not used Acrylic before but given the footnote I think I'll give it a try if I need to finish any light coloured wood! -
Try fixing temporary battens between bulkheads 2 and 5 on both sides then bring bulkhead 3 up to them and see how it looks, also check BH 4. It sounds like the slot in BH 3 may have been cut too deep. If this is the case then you can add a small filler piece to bring it up to the right height. The cutting error may be due to the large cut out in the false keel but hard to see from the picture?

Looking good! Shame we can't get this kit in the UK, would'nt mind giving it a go.

I bought a cheap motor tool a long time ago for various jobs and It's been very useful, but, it's not the smallest of tools and the mains cable for it can get in the way sometimes as it's quite stiff. I'll be buying a low voltage version next week as it's on special offer: http://www.lidl.co.uk/cps/rde/www_lidl_uk/hs.xsl/our-offers-2491.htm?action=showDetail&id=6835&ar=6

Thanks for the tips, most helpful!

Thanks for reminding me Tony, I've seen that one before Looks pretty easy to make and has the advantage of two speed and forward and reverse if you use a cordless drill.

The metal one on this page looks quite simple in operation and is hand powered. http://www.maritima-et-mechanika.org/maritime/tips/Ropewalk/Ropewalk.html

Are these the pictures, about 2/3 the way down the page? http://buildingthestroch.blogspot.co.uk/

This one looks good, fair bit of work to build though? http://modelshipworldforum.com/resources/materials_and_tools/ropewalk.pdf http://modelshipworldforum.com/resources/materials_and_tools/14frolich_style_ropewalk.pdf

Shellac sanding sealer
Q A's Revenge replied to Tony H's topic in Painting, finishing and weathering products and techniques
If it's used on its own to seal the surface and bring out the grain then I expect Cellulose to be more durable and faster drying. For use under French polishing then Shellac would be best. That's my understanding anyway. If the smell of Cellulose sanding sealer is a problem then you can use a water based Acrylic sanding sealer. As said though I only use Cellulose. -
Shellac sanding sealer
Q A's Revenge replied to Tony H's topic in Painting, finishing and weathering products and techniques
I'd be interested to hear folks views as well as I normally use cellulose sanding sealer on wood projects. -
Anyone on here use one for plank bending?
-
Yes, there are some models that read fractions as well, at least here in the UK. http://www.arceurotrade.co.uk/Catalogue/Measurement/Calipers
-
Did you buy anything else to replace it?
-
Not sure if this has posted before but small versions of these clamps may be useful if you have the tools to make them.
-
Personal thing I guess but for what it's worth I agree it does look a little strange. This is the little one that's on my list. It's available as resin hull or plank on frame. Which one I buy depends on how easy you make the hull planking look! http://www.westbourne-model.co.uk/acatalog/Endeavour-314-ext.html

Looking at your pictures again, some of the small ribs seem to be shy of the keel whilst a couple of the larger ones are proud. Looking forward to see how you deal with this!
-
Really looking forward to your progress on this as the smaller 1:80 version is high on my list.

How can I prevent "Sagging" rigging?
Q A's Revenge replied to wilnatp's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
Good questions, be interesting myself to see answers from experienced builders. -
Chuck, "Fly fishing line" could be one of any of hundreds of different products. Any chance you could give me a link to the type of line you have in mind. Many thanks! :-)
-
Sadly they haven't replied to my email. Never did get a reply but they did respond to a request for shipping on a small kit - $69! :-(
