Looking great, Denis. Please take extra photos of your stern area fairing. I'd also like to see details of how your planking transitions between the lower vertical part of the stern post then transitions into the curve of the transom. The couple of planks at that transition area are of interest to me.

 

Respectfully,

John

Hi John

 

I have not finished the fairing yet, I am taking a day or two off from my build .

 

I am busy doing my Bonsai tree, plus going to cut off part of a Totara tree and with a bit of luck turn it into a Bonsai tree.

 

I will send you an email with photos when I have finished the fairing etc.

Model ships, now model trees as well.  I would guess you definitely like miniatures, don't you?  Any chance you also have a chihuahua dog?

 

Good job on your Revenge, by the way (OK, it's only a mini-compliment, but well meant!...)

Hi Jean

Very good,

But how did you know I had dogs ???, but I am sorry to say I had three Old English Sheepdogs :D .

Denis,

 

I just looked at the photo you show a few posts above this one of the filler block 196. To be redundant, as an amateur I would like to respectfully ask if you might be willing to show in excruciating detail how you fair and how you plank at the junction between the rudder post and where the planks transition from the post into the curve of the transom. Have I described that clearly? It is hard to turn my visualization into words .  .  .  . 

 

I am loving your descriptions. Thank you for being so explicit.

Hi John

 

Like I said I am not working on the Revenge for another day or two.

I sent you a drawing on how to use a half round file on parts like this.

 

You glue part 196 in place, then you start with the flat part of the file from one frame to the next one in front , when you get to the concave part turn the file over to the half round part, as you push the file down twist your wrist, so you are using all of the half round part of the file.

You will be taking part of the false keel off, this is what you want ( warning keep an eye on how much you take of the false keel you have two sides to file ).

Then you start again with frame two and three from the stern area till they blend together.

Put a thin plank across the frames to see how it fits across the frames.

 

Like I said when I get to that stage I will send you an email.

 

 

Denis.

Nice work Denis,you're doing a real nice job.

[DenPink]

Hi all

 

Sorry not much work has been done on the Revenge.

 

I have done the first planking, I have to say it is not my favorite job to do on any build, I seem to have a mental block when it comes to first planking ??.

 

Any way on to the next job.

 

 

Denis.

Hi Denis. It looks ok for the first planking. The second i am very sure it will be excellent,

as i saw to your buildings.

Also i don't like to much to work to the first planking,

Wait for the second planking pictures.

Hi again

 

Had fun doing the stern planking.

 

Till I had taken the photo, when I sanded it down a bit of the plank came out ha-ha never mind will not take long to fix it.

 

 

Denis.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY" Denis...... and many more!! Cheers

[DenPink]

Hi Frank

Thank you so much.

Got your email very good loved it.

[DenPink]

Hi ALL

 

I have started finish planking part of the hull.

The planks have to be sanded back a lot more than I have done so far.

 

The instruction book says plank the hull first then add the wales later on in the build.

It also says paint the wales black, but I will use 1x5mm Walnut and varnish them.

 

Thank you all for the likes and comments .

 

 

Denis.

[DenPink]

Hi all

 

Sorry I am back again.

 

I thought I would show you how the wale's will fit.

I have not bent them yet, that will come when I have planked both sides of the hull.

 

Oh dear looking at the photo I have some filling to do ha-ha.

 

Question do I paint below the waterline white or just leave it.

If I paint it then I will use the kit wood, if I don't paint it then I will just use my stock wood like I am doing now.

 

Denis.

Hello Denis,I like the wood look,that would be my vote. Edwin

[cristikc]

Hi Denis.

As you know, i prefer natural color, and i like the way you use oil stain.

All the best. Cristi

Hi Edwin

Are you talking about not painting below the waterline also ??.

Hi Cristi

As for what I said to Edwin no painting below the waterline then.

 

Thanks Denis.

lovely work and sorry belated birthday wishes

I like the wales you are putting on.

My opinion - The colouring depends on whether you will paint the Hull or Varnish it.

If you paint it - then I would have dark contrasting colour

If you Varnish the Hull then I would make it half strength darker for a "not so subtle" look

 

- My Vote goes with the Wood - but it is your call

 

Well done - looking forward to your progress & more pics
