    I wondered because I plan to get some Admiralty paints and do my outside upper bulwarks yellow ocre but with a hint of flat white, just to take the richness of the yellow down a bit. OC.

    I have a sneaking feeling I am going to be one plank short of finishing my first planking. OC.

    UHU is a general purpose (very sticky - stringy glue) it bonds a lot of things like card, fabrics, leather, and dare say wood. Its a great glue just a bit messy. OC.

    Hi Bob, what a lovely job you are doing, I love the detail and workmanship, the color of your upper planking is very nice almost like a pale cream - light yellow ocre color. OC.
  5. Old Collingwood
    A bit more work this evening - getting there I think. OC.
  6. Old Collingwood
    That red ocre looks really good I think an authentic color really helps with the apperance of a ship. OC.

    Thank you kindly, yep there will be another set of planking to go on, then I will be painting her to the waterline in flat white. OC.

    Thank you my friend, thankfully thats just the first planking, I have another lot to go ontop of that, then the lower hull will be painted dull white up to the water line. OC.

    Looking great Joe, not that diss-similar to my build, is that yellow ocre you have along the gun deck outer? OC.

    Hi Don, you have put some serious work into you build all the effort really looks to be paying off, really nice work going on there. OC.

    I managed to get in a few hours on the build today, generally making a lot of wood dust in the house (as it was dark outside) Mrs OC was not too impressed - dogs house emoticon springs to mind. Anyway after the dust had settled - no pun intended, I did a final bit of fine filling with my curved needle files, towards the rear as I had to curve a plank that sits at an akward angle, I also tidied up the bow. Here are a few pics folks. OC.

    Yep then clicked on the contact option where I had to leave my email address and irequest, then one of those security things popped up to proove your human - the normal catcha things with pictures you have to tick several times before you can send the contact request, I tried about five times then I was timed out. OC.

    Goodmorning/evening/day folks, not much work over the past 24 hrs we had some house types issues that kept me away from the bench, I will be back on her tomorrow, with a keen eagerness. Folks I have a question and really hope someone can help please, I am without any cannons/carriages for my build and I have looked through the normal parts sites like Cornwall Model Boats - checking out the different companies, Corel, mantua etc etc, but so far I can not find any 9pdr small 1/100 scale period cannons and carriages, for my build. Can anyone help with this please. OC.
  20. Old Collingwood
    Superb looking ship really beautiful. OC.
  21. Old Collingwood
    Hi Danny, will you be painting her when she is finished? OC.
  22. Old Collingwood
    She is looking really nice, with the inside bulwarks you could try red ocre as I beliieve it was a faily normal paint medium, perhaps you could try that, (Its the same color as inside my bulwarks on my build). OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    Hi there, no its my first planking, I thought it would be a good tool towards the second planking keeping it as tidy and experience towards the second planking, getting a feel for the flow of the boat and how her profile goes with the planks. OC.
  24. Old Collingwood
    Hi folks more work on the bench(table) today, I started by removing the pins holding the last planks glued, after doing this and checking the joints, I sanded them flush with the other ones, then I decided to have a go at some dropped planks - this was a time consuming job measuring and checking then sanding, measuring and checking then sanding, then one by one I did three out of the four so far to be done. Here are the pics folks. OC.
  25. Old Collingwood
    More work on the lower hull planking today, I decided to try the idea of working from the keel in rows upwards, till I meet the plank below the wale, it just took a little plank bending at both the bow and stern, but the middle section went on dry with no adjustment. Here are the pics - OC.
