DenPink Posted January 22, 2016 Author #95 Posted January 22, 2016 Hi I have come up against a problem ha-ha, well not a problem as such. Part 42 Bow deck, fit to bulkhead frames. The only way you can do this is just about bend it double ( it is only 0.83mm thick ). Now it is fitted, you have to draw lines for other parts. Now remove parts 42 and plank it. Like Martin said in his Revenge log, no way can you do this as the planks are 1mm thick and the deck when you have finished planking will be to stiff to bend it, you will bugger the planking up. As I have started my planking on the other decks with the first plank going down the centre line, so no way am I going to cut the deck in half. One other thing is on this deck is a square cut out, mine is just to the side of the centre line, the book has it way over to one side ( see red on photo ) ???.

Titanic87 Posted February 1, 2016 #99 Posted February 1, 2016 Hello Dennis R, I'm also building this kit, it's been a beautiful build so far (I'm on the rigging stage) but I've found that they don't supply you with enough large copper eyelets (parts 228 in parts list on the instruction manual) so you might want to purchase extras. Hope your build goes well. ships88, DenPink and mtaylor 3 Quote

maggsl_01 Posted February 2, 2016 #104 Posted February 2, 2016 Hi Denis, really looks great. I like the shine of the deck and the accuracy of the planks. The kit seems to be a neat piece of fun As I don't know Amati so far can you please tell me something about the instructions? On pic shows a booklet - but are there "real" plans too?

DenPink Posted February 8, 2016 Author #108 Posted February 8, 2016 Hi All I don't know if this will help anyone in the future. The Revenge has two capstans, the instruction book says drill holes and square them off with a file. Sorry I have not seen a file that small. I came up with this but I did not use it on my capstans as I had made them and one glued in place. But it was playing on my mind. I got a small nail, then filed 4 sides on it to a point ( see attachment ). After you drill the hole just put the nail in and give it a small tap. Now you have a square hole. Denis.

DenPink Posted February 19, 2016 Author #115 Posted February 19, 2016 Hi all Just a little update. I have fitted the cabin deck and planked the walkway on the outside. I did not put the caulking lines on the inside planks. I am a bit mad about this as I do like to see the caulking lines. I don't know if they did caulking on the inside of the cabins in 1577 as I was not born then ( the wife said I was so I will not argue with her ). I have dry fitted part 51 to see what it looks like, yes I know it is too far over to the right. Will now sand and put a coat of satin varnish on the walkways as they have only got two coats of sanding sealer. Denis.

DenPink Posted February 22, 2016 Author #117 Posted February 22, 2016 how much of that interior detail will be visible when you plank the deck, Denis ? Hi Brian To answer your question you don't see any of the interior detail as far as I can see.

DenPink Posted February 26, 2016 Author #118 Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) Hi all Well I have made a boo boo , not the first time and will not be the last . The forecastle deck I planked of the ship. I then glued it to the bulkhead frames. I did not realize that the top of the frames had to be cut off, after gluing the deck on, then plank the deck. No big deal I only had 3 planks each side to take off. I decided to have a rest from planking, so I have made the helmsman canopy. The kit supplies a strip of walnut shaped like an L, this goes on the inside to reinforce the 4 corners. After you have glued the 4 parts together it is time to put the trim on the outside 1x2mm, do this first before you plank the roof. When you have fitted the trim file or sand to shape to the roof line, now fit the roof planks 1x2mm. I have applied 2 coats of sanding sealer, and 1 coat of satin varnish (2 more to go). Will stain the inside later.
