DenPink Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share #126 Posted February 28, 2016 Hi all Just dry fitting decks 43, 44 and 45 just to make sure they fit Ok. Not a lot of work was needed. I did put the masts in to make sure they lined up Ok. I have also pointed out my boo-boo on the forecastle deck, this will be fixed later. Denis.

DenPink Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share #134 Posted March 3, 2016 Hi I know I am doing things out of order but they say a change is good as a rest ha-ha. So I decided to paint the stern windows. I have left the windows on the photo etch sheet so I have something to hold onto. Last night I washed the windows first and dried them off. Next was apply a coat of Casey's Brass Black to the inside, wash down in clean water and dry them off, then another coat of Brass Black. The black will make it look like the old lead windows. Today I have put 3 coats of white paint on, but it still wants another coat. When it is all done I will turn them over and put some liquid glass on the back.

DenPink Posted March 6, 2016 Author Share #139 Posted March 6, 2016 Hi all I have dry fitted the windows into the stern frame. The frame has only got one coat of sanding sealer on it. I will have to put 3 coats of satin varnish on. The right side window don't fit that well, I hope that when the three coats of varnish goes on, as I will varnish the inside of the window frame it will build the inside up so the window will fit a bit better.

DenPink Posted March 6, 2016 Author Share #141 Posted March 6, 2016 Windows look great!! Denis..... How do you like the Casey's brass black? Frank Hello Frank The Casey's Brass Black is the best on the market. It is very fast to blacken the brass. Best to clean the photo-etch first. Then wash the photo-etch, dry it then apply the brass black, wash again, dry off then another coat of brass black. Thank you for your words and likes. Denis.

DenPink Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share #146 Posted March 12, 2016 Hi All Sorry not a lot has been done this week. Part 53 that wraps round the bow is very springy, so to take out some of the spring out of this part ready for gluing I decided to get my electric plank bender out. I soaked the part in water for only one minute, just to dampen the wood ( never over soak ply wood ). Then used my plank bender to get a curved shape for the bow.

DenPink Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share #148 Posted March 19, 2016 Hi all Done a little bit of work, side panels have been glued on, so now time to start the fairing of the stern area. WARNING to the builders who have not got this far, or are about to start this Revenge kit build. The instruction book doesn't mention the filler block at the stern. Please look at plan sheet 4 you will see part 196 ( filler block ) has to be fitted before you start fairing the bulkhead frames.

DenPink Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share #150 Posted March 19, 2016 Hi Frank Thank you my friend. To tell you the truth I nearly missed it, I was looking for the size of the wheels for the stern cannons and the filler blocks 196 was at the bottom of the cannons. Denis.
