Absolutely precise work Jason! Stergios PS: Where did you get that profile gauge?
-
Yes, those parts are the fittings for the carronades. I painted them yesterday using admiralty's matt black and I'm satisfied with the result. I plan to "seal" that black using vallejo's matt varnish....
-
I've tried twice with these darkners to "paint" dark/black the carronade fittings, but no result. Perhaps this is due to the nature and quality of that soft metalic alloy ...

We're waiting to see your rigging procedures, Jim!
-
Yes, I saw it. That's a possible final option for me... Thanks!

Well I think I'll try to reduce to 2mm the 3 mm blocks using my proxxon pern sander.... http://www.chippingaway.com/WoodCarving/SandingProducts-ManualandPower/ProxxonPowerPenSander.htm

Finally I've found the supplies we were looking for... http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/918-sources-for-boxwood-blocks/ Anyone in Europe ??

This unexplained wear of the No 55 walnut stern facia lower border is my current problem (as walnut planks splintering...). It is supposed (and is real) I did'nt trim it or sand it al all, but this unpleasant lower border's (and around the left gunport) peeling-like appearance must change. I'm think to test walnut wood stain to sort out this current concern. Any advice or experience on this? Thanks again.
-
...very interesting option Jason! Wait to see your results. Goodnight.

Could u please provide the relative link of the pics in the museums section, Norman? I can't locate them...
-
" mm blocks? Do you mean 2 mm blocks, Norman?
-
Hi Jason, thank you for replying so promtly! I've seen Jim's pics of the carronade and I wonder whether 2mm blocks are matched better (in ratio) with the size of standard carronades,carriages and slides provided with the kit....
-
Hi Jim these carronade eyelets and hooks belong to the standard kit supplies or did you get them afterwards? What;s the size and type of the blocks that you have mounted? Thanks Stergios
-
Trying to study the carronades installation and figure out my next steps... I'm not seeing any instructions for the guns eyelets, hooks etc except a single comment about the breech tackle only....so I wonder whether those fittings belong to the extra-aftermarket items... Have I missed anything? Thank you
-
Hello again to everyone! As I'm about to place an order to my kit supplier I'm thinking to use some kind of walnut wood staining to "enhance" grating wood borders, masts etc. Have you used or do you think to use any kind of wood enhancing material (except wood varnishes) to improve the final results? Thanks.

I know the extra pack, I did place my order before yours, the point is that I opened the wheel;s pack yesterday and realized that I needed another one wheel !! I think that Cornwall Model Boats description was 'nt the appropriate one on this... Cheers !
-
Yes, I'm in the right way!
-
I've mesuared the dimensions of the deck openings as 2,35X2,35 cm approximately, and I'm about to cut the strips to these lengths before assembling and gluing the gratings. Hope to be in the right way...
-
Hi guys! I'd like to ask you, how have you secured gratings assembly? Have you used watered pva browsing for all the strips? Thank you
-
Hi Jason, do not say to me that I should buy rather two (than one) extra ships wheels....
-
I'm trying at least to follow your progress Jason, and Jim's too as I can.

So many days later.... After a lot of reflection I was lost in about the black painted hull and the relative varnish coverage.... As I was'nt happy using the somewhat "glossy" touch of caldercraft's black colors (dull & metallic), now I can say that using the matt varnish of vallejo following the acrylic matt black of the same company, is the best combination in my opinion.
