UdoK got a reaction from GrandpaPhil in Boston Typhoon by UdoK - Mountfleet Models - 1:32 - RADIO - Steam trawler
Starting my build of the Boston Typhoon.
I'am not showing the kits content since it can be found in my review of the kit earlier here on MSW.
Here we go, the moulded Hull has just been arrived on the workshop table !
It has been washed with soap and rinsed with water to remove any residue may remaining from the moulding process.
I will start with the usual activities like building the cradle and sanding and filling some rough spots and dips on the outer hull, etc.
More to come!

Frame treatment still in progress....
Although I was very careful with the frames it did happen.
The small vice dropped off the blocks and the clamped frame broke off, fortunately it was easy to fix.
To prevent this from happening again I have orderd the Proxxon FMZ vice, a much more safer way to clamp and work on the frames compared to my construction with blocks.
To have a break from sanding frames I have started to work on the complex stern construction.
All required parts have been located and cut off from the laser cut panels, ready for clean up.
Next is to understand the stern construction and figure out what is the best sequence to puzzle it together.

Thanks Cpt. Hook, don't be afraid. After sanding a few frames you will have developed the right feeling for it.
Stern construction part I
Basically the stern construction is a complex task and requires a lot of thinking ahead, prior to glueing parts together.
I have started with the inner stern timber pack, parts 11-1 to 11-5.
Due to the parts thickness (slightly oversized) the pack doesn't fit into the respective notches in the transom pieces. After glueing together parts 2-4 I have reduced thickness of both of this packs equally to fit the notches.
The transom pieces 12, 13-1 and 13-2 are sanded and dryfitted in the jig together with the center timbers. The laser cut marks on the pieces ease sanding and bevelling the edges a lot.
Next task is to construct the side counter timbers in the correct angle.

UdoK got a reaction from GrandpaPhil in VOC Retourship BATAVIA by UdoK - 1/72 kit
I did some trials and research on how to achive a good and realistic looking tarpaulin to cover the main hatches.
I ended up with the method of a paper tissue, glued on the milled plywood pices with water diluted wood glue as the best result. After setting of the glue the tarpaulin got painted with one layer of Tamiya XF78.

After closing the after hatch with walnut strips 2 x 1, I have fitted the deck support beams on bulkhead 1-5 and 12. The bulkhead in front of the foredeck got installed, klinker planked with walnut strips 5 x 1 and door frames glued on, painted with two coats of dull black.

Some progress to report.....
The gunports inside have been painted black prior to installing the first wales on port and starboard from 5 x 3 walnut below the gunports.
After this the deck A was glued in position, perfect fit and not much to trim.
The after hatch in deck A has been framed and is ready for the planks to be mounted.

UdoK got a reaction from GrandpaPhil in HMS Bounty by UdoK
Almost one year since the last upate, time goes by but the build is still alive.
Hull fairing has been completed, all the low frames are filled and sanded again. I have installed one another transom wing and a Piece of wood to support the planking around the rudder opening. Now on to the wales.....
In the last Picture you can see some damge on the false keel caused by the 'heavy sanding equipment' during hull sanding. I will probably replace the after part of the false keel after planking is completed.

Hi all, waiting time is over, it continues...
Although hull fairing has not been completed yet I have started to fit the transom parts to have a break from sanding.
To complete the hull fairing a few more "low" spots on the Frames require attention. I will cut some left over material from Frame building to be cut to the Frame width, run it trough the thickness sander for approx. thickness and sand it to the hull shape after glueing.

Thank you Nils.
Window framing completed and I made some good progress on the hull fairing last weekend.

Building cradle completed....
All joints has been brushed up with wood glue, reinforcement pieces are installed on some edges on where I thought it will appropriate to stiffen the parts.
As the instruction manual 2 instructs a conversion of the building cradle after the hull planking is completed, I made the top of the building cradle removable from the base plate to ease the modification.
Now, since all full frames 4 to 36 are glued up and waiting for sanding and beveling, the real fun starts.

The keel is finally assembled. Removing the laser char took most of the time. Test-fit into the slots of the building board...passed 😉

Thanks Kevin, actually I have send them an email recently.
They are waiting for the printed deck layers to complete the kits, will place my order pretty soon.

Congratulations to a beautiful build of a impressive and rare model.
Before i was reading your buildlog I did not even know anything about Mountfleet models.
When checking out their website I felt in love with their Model of the Boston Typhoon unfortunately currently unavailable, but i will keep an eye on it for sure.
