JesseLee Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share #1208 Posted April 16, 2019 Thanks Piet! There is an awful lot of fine dust and sawdust all over the whole thing. Doing some rigging yesterday and noticed how much of it is on deck and around the guns and their tackle. It has caught the sawdust from other mini projects here and there because this is the on;y spot in the house for anything I work on. Going have to get some of those cans of dusting spray or something.

CDW Posted April 16, 2019 Share #1209 Posted April 16, 2019 55 minutes ago, JesseLee said: There is an awful lot of fine dust and sawdust all over the whole thing. Doing some rigging yesterday and noticed how much of it is on deck and around the guns and their tackle. Do you have a small compressor and airbrush? If so, that should blow the dust off. if not, like you said, the aerosol cans used for dusting computer components will work. Just be careful not to blow away and lose small components that may not be securely glued down.

BETAQDAVE Posted April 16, 2019 Share #1210 Posted April 16, 2019 Jesse, it seems to me that I have come across a MSW log that showed a light weight dust cover. It was just a light weight wood frame with a clear plastic film stretched over it. It was easily removable, so whenever he was done with his ship for the day, he just put the cover over it. Of course, the aerosol cans would be simpler and cheaper, so to each his own I guess. If I can recall where I saw it I'll let you know so you can decide if it's something that would interest you.

popeye the sailor Posted May 1, 2019 Share #1213 Posted May 1, 2019 that happens quite a lot in kits, especially if your adding extra lines that the instructions and diagrams don't show. cripe.....one kit I have doesn't show double blocks, but I know some were used......so I'm adding them in. of course, that will also add to the amount of single blocks as well it's madness I tell you!!!!!.....shear madness! so glad to hear your still making progress.......I hope you are well Canute, JesseLee, Pogy647 and 3 others 6 Quote I yam wot I yam! finished builds: Billings Nordkap 476 / Billings Cux 87 / Billings Mary Ann / Billings AmericA - reissue Billings Regina - bashed into the Susan A / Andrea Gail 1:20 - semi scratch w/ Billing instructions M&M Fun Ship - semi scratch build / Gundalow - scratch build / Jeanne D'Arc - Heller Phylly C & Denny-Zen - the Lobsie twins - bashed & semi scratch dual build Billing T78 Norden in dry dock: Billing's Gothenborg 1:100 / Billing's Boulogne Etaples 1:20 Billing's Half Moon 1:40 - some scratch required Revell U.S.S.

JesseLee Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share #1220 Posted May 16, 2019 Thought I was ready for the Spritsail Yard but after examining the plans and my model I see I missed a few lines like the Fore Royal Braces. Did this, added a few more rope coils and did some more dusting. Found that a very soft bristle flat modelers paintbrush works well at dusting the lines, yards and tight places on the deck. Here are some pics. Having a hard time showing all this rigging. The black background shows the running rigging well. Sorry for all the clutter, have plans to move my work area to another room for more space but that wont happen till long after this build.
