Thanks for your comment, JP. A Dremel with a sanding drum was exactly what I had in mind to level up those metal frames. The programmed order for this step would be: 1 Put all the wood of the first plank. 2 Build and shape the bulwarks. 3 Sand down the metal frames. 4 Put wood filler where needed and let cure for 24 hrs. 5 Sand down the whole hull. Easier said than done. 6 Pictures a-plenty.

Frank. Your attention to detail is inspiring. I am learning so many new things that I want to try in my present build! Many congratulations! Ulises

Hello Ronald. I'm afraid there is no parts list as such. Instructions come in sheets called "tavolas". Each sheet has a list of the parts used in that particular sheet, but there is not something like a full list of all the parts needed. I'm sorry.

HMS Royal William by kay
Ulises Victoria replied to kay's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1501 - 1750
I am a late visitor to your build log, Kay. I have to say that I am really impressed. I would give my right pinky finger to be able to carve as you do... (Why my right pinky? Because is the only finger I don´t use when playing guitar! ) Best wishes. -
Thank you all. I have to say that these metal frames will be sanded down flush at hull level, once all the wood of the first planking is put in place. And those small gaps are of no concern. Pictures will come!

There you go, Sjors. Just a small taste. I will post plenty of photos once the first planking is finished and finished. Thank you all for your comments and interest!

Hello Dimitris. Long time no see indeed! Glad to see you back. I have not posted any updates because I am working on the first plank (still). This hull is huge. It's taking me very long time. I will wait until the first planking is finished to post photos, because at the present state it doesn't look very pretty . (I'm about 80% done, though) Thank you for visiting and your like. Best Ulises

I have the Artesania Latina HMS Surprise kit. It's a monster at 1.33 mts. Just letting you know, because space to build and display might be something to consider when purchasing.

The Tormek has been in my sight for some time. I just need certain $ituation to improve.

To me is a bit cumbersome to use. I get better results using my grinder and diamond stones. Somebody else may have different results.

I have this tool. I bought it to sharpen my pen turning tools. I rarely use it, though.

Looking great, Karl. This is something I would never attempt to do: restore a badly started ship. I have to take my hat off for what you've accomplished. Saludos, amigo. PS. I saw your daughter the other day. Very fine young lady.

Casting epoxies from Smooth-on
Ulises Victoria replied to src's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
For small openings, a thin film of white glue dries transparent. Experiment first!!! -

Found them in Amazon, and the price looks just right. http://www.amazon.com/1670XL-Resistant-100-Percent-Kevlar-X-Large/dp/B000AYFT20/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1415905535&sr=8-2&keywords=carving+gloves

Looks like a very interesting kit. I wasn't aware of a cross section kit of the Vasa. Do you remember the scale?

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
