Definitely not a filler but a sealer... You apply it with a brush and seales all the porous of the wood. I personally don't use it and rely on good sanding and leenseed oil. Beautiful work! Keep it up 😉 -
Hello Jack! Regarding the issue about the photo etching plates. Why don´t you give a try yourself? As Mark has said on Amazon you have most of the equipment you´ll need. The most important for me is the isolation film or sprays to put on the metal plate. Try to find some art shop or a "registrato". I´m sure they´ll tell you where to get the copper (in role or plates) and the acids to actually etch the metal. There´s a tutorial here on MSW an a lot more on inet... Good luck Jack! Daniel.

Beautiful lines Christian!! Are you actually meausuring the hull and translating those to your CAD draws? Specially on the stern and fashion pieces. Willing to see all those ribs together when you´ll start with the POF work. Best wishes and happy summer! Daniel.

Hello all! Still waiting for the answer about the question of the mizzen mast... Druxey, Mark, Jürgen... and all! Anyway, Here´s a pic of the Triton taked on June 18th 2014 And here´s a of how she have changed. I´m pretty happy cause now I can see the "final" shape of the ship. Cutting the frames was kind of a nightmare... almost everything started to crack so I have had to quote every single piece with a pencil an then stick them to the frames with tape or to see where I have to re-glue... Hope to work some more on Easter! daniel.

Looking good Piet! I am with George... Can´t wait to see her on and the beautyful pictures you´ll take! Best wishes! p.s. Beautyful hammer. If we were neighbours I would borrow it for sure from you.

Hello All! A big and small update... I am working with the interior of the hold to trying to move on '¡?... Trying to finish all the breast hooks and the masts steps. I got a question, Does the mizzen mast rest on the keel or on the lower deck? on two huge carlings? # 3 - 4 counting from the stern to the stem. (see the pdf) Anyway, I have started to cut all the frames and I have made a hand saw out of a square piece of wood (15x15mm) and then cast the whole thing with resin. It´s pretty useful, not fancy but it works. I have attached lots of pics just to remind me where I have to cut more or less. Like a "diary". Also I have attached the pdf I made on its day to meassure all the dots from the wale to the top rail. the pdf... keel_frames_decks_PS_100.pdf Best wishes! Daniel.

Thanks for the answers... Druxey, Pretty simple answer yours... (with respect). The problem of purchasing Byrnes plate is the price. I emailed him a year ago and the plate was 25 bugs plus another 50 for the delivery. (75 $ total) And I can not see any difference between my plate and the Byrne´s one. At the end, I think, is a thick piece of metal bored in the same way as Byrnes. Any zoom or closeup pics of the holes on both sides would be apreciated to light up your point. Mark, You are right! I was pulling out from the wrong side I guess. Now I think is working better but I´m going to assume that from a 50cm long strip I am going to end with several 10 or 5cm long. And be more patience I guess. I´ll spend the whole afternoon only shaping with the plate to see how small dia. I can get. My aim is to get 0.7mm treenails. Thank you Guys! daniel.

Hello All and happy Carnival! Here are the pics of the stern completed. The whole set is so weak that first I tried to treenail* the posts to the fashion timber but I broke the only 1mm bit I have. I´ll have to buy another one or five or ten of them... Anyway, I have glued 4 strips at the position where the taffarel will be. By doing this I hope to "protect" this area from the accidents I have seen on other logs. The unplanked stern is extremly weak. As you can see I have moved the pine block 3 mm out. For the other two posts I moved it another 3mm... Happy weekend ahead, Daniel. p.s. Treenailing: DO YOU HAVE any TRICK or something for the treenailing??? I can not get a strip less than 1mm diameter!! The strip keeps braking and cracking when I try to pull it out. I have used twicers, my fingers, my nails... but nothing. The wood I´m using is walnut but I have tried bamboo sticks and maple. Please help me here. Any tutorial or video would be apreciated. I went till number #11 on the plate. On page #10, post #141 are the details about the plate. Do I have to wet the strips first, more patience, ??

Hello Wefalk! I have read your entire log till now, took me about an hour or more and one thing is for sure... Excellent log! Daniel.

Thank you Piet! The hatches look awesome and heavy. Were they hand operated by one or two sailors or did they use the loading boom? Happy Friday!

Hello Piet! Let me just quote some of your words... But we, the yuns around, don´t want to keep the things quiet and simple! Your Scratch skills are far beyond to make the things easier... I doubt if I could make such a precise work even out of a comercial kit. I have never thought about modelling a sub but after looking to your log for years now, who knows... Willing to see the dingy inside the hull with the door -gates closed. She looks pretty big on the deck. Like she is not going to fit... Have you tried it? Best wishes Piet! daniel.

Welcome Aboard Gimo!! Daniel.

Hello helllo, Here are the pics... This part has been the "trickiest" (till now...) to built. I repeated them 3 times. I had no such thick piece of wood so I ended gluing to 5mm planks. Then I sanded it. I have left all the pieces 4mm thick because on the plan look pretty thin to me. I finanally found the trick, specially due to Jürgen´s log (Thanks for that J!!). 2 leveled ribbands (2.5x5mm) to fit the posts. With the ribband and those clamps (not very fancy) It´s easy to set the post and see where you have to sand less or more. Starboard. Port side. The curve is very nice. Now, another good one. I glued a 20x20mm pine block meaussuring the correct distance from the last frame till the outter edge of the post. 52mm. I ensured the level of the block. Somehow is like actually building a jig. After the port and the startboard posts were glued I moved the pine block 3mm out. All the post comform a curve, they are not straight aligned. You can also take this measure out of the plans. I also marked the block with the situation of all the different posts. Before to put the inner posts I started with the framing on both sides. Again the ribband was extremly useful... Last pic, I marked the gabs down for the other posts. Now It´s all done. I ´ll post the pics later. Daniel.

Hello All and specially Aldo, Christian, Jürgen,Mark, Ray and T.J. ...!!! I am stuck with the stern. I have repeated the stern pieces like twice and the one or two three times. I haev asked Juergen for a little help, hope to see his answer soon but after all the trials I´ve made i´m not in a hurry... Willing to move on I started to cut the beams for the Lower Deck. I am following the pdf I drew months ago. My intention is not to cover all with the carlings and the ledges, I´ll make only the scarfs and some of the curves on both sides... Do not know for sure right now. Here are the pics... I glued the patterns as allways with rubber glue (scholar one) The gab between the beams it´s small so I have had to sand less. You have to be very precise with the cuttin though. All of them rough... Sanding the inner side. The outside was done with the disc band sander... (no pics of that) Easier than sanding the inner. And the result of one, at last, weekend modelling... Best wishes and happy winter!! Daniel.

Beautiful work Mick! Congratulations! Excellent pictures too... They explain pretty well all the steps to make such a nice pieces. Keep going! Daniel.

Aldo! HMS Pegasus mothballed? And giving priority to the HMS Triton?! Way to go! Sometimes when I see my Triton covered with a blanket (mothballed?) to avoid all the dust and everything from the environment... I realized the amount of work done so far and I ask myself when something is done, finished, concluded... or it´s not. I feel really happy just looking the Triton on its stage right now. It´s just a thought. Here´s an interesting pic to explore, let´s see how many mothballed guns are on the ships and subs.... I have counted 56... Best wishes Aldo and keep going! Daniel.

Hello Guys and happy new year for all! I am still alive but unfortunately I am not working on none of the projects... Lot´s of other things around are keeping me busy. I am always around looking with "sane envy" how other logs are growing and growing... TJ, I don´t underrstand your post, did I ask for that plan before? (with so many posts It´s easy to miss up a request or something) Thanks anyway... Well, best wishes to all and hope to see you back posting something in a while!! Daniel.

Merry Christmas, Jürgen! Beautiful ribband! It makes such a nice curve on the hull. Very nice pictures too... My best wishes for the next year ahead! for you and your Triton! Daniel.
