No excuse for not answering my emails. They got my money, they didn't send the items.That is stealing.

Liquid cement will definitely ruin your paint job if it touches the paint. You need to scrape off the paint in all surfaces that are going to be glued, or the joint will not be strong enough. Hope this helps.

Good work Pepe. You are getting the hang of it!!! -
My experience with Nature Coast Hobbies is totally negative, I'm afraid.

I built a plastic Heller Royal Louis in 1/200 scale, many years ago. As to why Mamoli's is the only wooden Royal Louis kit available, I wouldn't know.

What I have used with excellent results is flat clear varnish. It dries flat, invisible, no shiny spots as with CA and is just strong enough to do the job.

Sjors: Yes, I want to. Kit comes with no sails, (my avatar is the photo in the box) thus no sail rigging or instructions. I think I asked somewhere earlier about some books on French ships of the line rigging. I have several about English tho, but I am not sure what problems or issues I'd encounter if I put English rigging on a French ship!!!

Beautiful work, my friend. Your sails look so natural. I'm still undecided about how I'm going to deploy sails on my RL, and seeing yours I may decide to put them fully set.

I have turned several pens and cigar holders with padauk. To me, that's just how the wood is.

What I do... and i mean... this is what *I* do... I never left shiny brass things that are not supposed to be shiny. For example: cannons, rudder hinges, cannon port covers hinges, eyebolts, anchor rings, most chains... I do let shinning or brass shinning things like bells and things that in the real thing are supposed to be brass color or shining. Just think a bit about it and you may come to an answer to yourself about what things to let brass shinning and which don't,. just my 2 cents

glowing after oil
Ulises Victoria replied to michael101's topic in Painting, finishing and weathering products and techniques
Hello Michael. I think people who is trying to give you an answer are confused with your use of the words "glow/glowing" Glow means to shine, some thing bright. Perhaps you mean to say "glue or gluing". -
Hello and thank you, JP. I estimate around 260 hours. I started on April 11, and I work an average of 2 hours a day, 5 days a week. That's about 10 hours a week. I think 260 hours is a pretty accurate estimate.

I remember once doing a test using regular overhand knots to tie my ratlines, thinking that the difference would not be noticeable and that the work would be faster. Well, the difference WAS noticeable and the work was NOT faster. After tying several thousands of clove hitches, they were just like a second nature.

Pepe: May I suggest that if you are going to put new photos of your build, to open a new answer (Use the "Reply to this Topic" blank screen at the bottom and click the "more reply options" button) so people know there are new pics about your build. Going good, btw.Those balsa fillers look good.
-
Vivian: Great work, linda. If you don't like the tension on the mast, by all means change it. Otherwise, It will haunt you every day. You will feel a lot better after you fix it. Believe me! That's something I've learned in this hobby.

Hello. Just wondering if this product has some use in our hobby, or if it's more intended towards RC balsa models? After reading the description in Amazon's site sounds like a good choice for planking as it seems to be used like a contact cement. Wondering about its durability. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006NDZHQ/ref=pe_847930_124592710_em_1p_0_des Thank you
-
I am so very glad my work help you!

I just found this in Amazon. Looks like it has almost everything you need to start building your first kit. And if those prices tags are correct, ( a 74% savings, from 99.99 to 25.99, ) this is a steal. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H239GA8/ref=pe_153710_124060050_em_1p_1_ti Best regards Ulises

Amazon sells what seems to be a similar product. http://www.amazon.com/Birchwood-Casey-Brass-Touch-Up-3-Ounce/dp/B0000C514O/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1411595890&sr=1-1&keywords=blacken-it And Model Expo will have it in 15-30 days http://www.modelexpo-online.com/product.asp?ITEMNO=AW2

Thread size of standing rigging
Ulises Victoria replied to jswan's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
Hello.I recommend visit this site. Plenty of photos of the real Vasa, as well as of some well researched models. http://warshipvasa.freeforums.net/ -
I'm planning to try this product on the wales of my Royal Louis. Will post results when done. Don't be mislead by the words "metallic finish" that only applies to metallic finishes like gold, silver, copper, etc. http://www.amazon.com/Brickyard-Ceramics-Crafts-Buff-Ebony/dp/B0002IXUQG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1411300821&sr=8-2&keywords=rub%27n+buff+ebony Ulises

Outsanding job. Every time I come to visit I see something new that inspires me! Excellent job, my friend!

rigging tackle size
Ulises Victoria replied to gluedandscrewed's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
My opinion would be: Better a bit too small than a bit too large. But that's just me. -
Hello Chuck. Of course they are. Solid hull is just another method of building. Solid hull, butter and bread, plank on bulkhead, plank on frame all have their value. Besides, you can always plank a solid hull and no one but you (and we if you post a log ) will ever know
-
Thank you both, mates. I feel a lot of support from you!!! Good ideas. Will take them into account!
