Seventynet Posted July 4, 2016 Author Share #181 Posted July 4, 2016 Hi Zoltan, I just used PVA. I am not sure I detected a waxy character but in any case I spiled the teak planks so that should, hopefully will, mitigate any internal stress that might otherwise give the glue a hard time. Wow you learn something new everyday!

Heinz6672 Posted July 5, 2016 Share #183 Posted July 5, 2016 Hello Ian! Finally an update with pictures from you :-) I'm still not sure what I should write to you. On the one hand, I find your idea very interesting. And I like the wood very much. On the other hand, the contrast with the other timber is very large. It draws attention to this point. But the real eye-catcher was supposed to be the stern with the windows and the decorations. I am afraid it could be too much at the end... I am very curious to see how it goes on and what the final result will look like. Once again an unusual and very clean work! I will follow it very carefully! My best wishes and greetings to you! -Heinz- Seventynet 1 Quote HMS Victory by Heinz746 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seventynet Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share #184 Posted July 5, 2016 Hi Heinz, Thanks for looking in and giving me your usual honest and I might say appropriate comments. They are much appreciated. I have the same concern but, aside from the teak for the upper counter which I am not that worried about contrasting (it is very close to the hull planking colour), I wanted to use the walnut to match the walnut I used for the wales. I will first have to put poly on the walnut to see what it looks like. Now I know I've been all over the place on this and also subject to your opinion on making the wales planking fit too tightly together, but I am now considering painting the wales black, in which case the lower counter would also be painted black. If I went that way I'd have to see whether the upper counter would also have to be painted. Anyway your concern is noted and it will be important to how I move forward.

Bender Posted August 24, 2016 Share #185 Posted August 24, 2016 I just read through the ten pages of your build log. You are a top level craftsman. Great work.

Seventynet Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share #189 Posted August 25, 2016 Thank you guys. That's what I love about this forum - gentle, polite persuasion to get back on track - amongst all the other benefits too countless to mention. Listen, there is no scenario that involves giving up on the Victory. I love that ship. My view of things has changed though. I have really enjoyed building these smaller projects like the Cat Boat and the Gokstad and they help improve my skills. Now that I have family members clamoring for a ship of their own the motivation to build these smaller craft has increased and the pause has become longer for the Victory.

ronald305 Posted July 19, 2018 Share #191 Posted July 19, 2018 (edited) love the work you are doing on the Victory Ian may I ask how did you paint the inside of the bulkheads black with out getting paint on the ribs Ronald Edited July 19, 2018 by ronald305 Seventynet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seventynet Posted July 19, 2018 Author Share #192 Posted July 19, 2018 Well this thing has been gathering moss hasn’t it! Hi Ronald. It’s been a while but I think I used masking tape, cut to measure after laying it over the bulkhead edges and then spray painted (can) the interior. I sort of wonder why I would even have done that but I may have completed the fairing process beforehand. thanks for looking in.
