John Maguire Posted March 21, 2016 Share #152 Posted March 21, 2016 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 mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Denis mtaylor 1 Quote Complete: Sovereign of the Seas - Mantua 1:78 scale Current build: Euro Model "Royal William" Scale 1:72 HMS "Revenge" Victory Model (Amati) Scale 1:64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Pierre Posted March 21, 2016 Share #154 Posted March 21, 2016 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!...)

John Maguire Posted March 22, 2016 Share #156 Posted March 22, 2016 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.

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. Respectfully, John 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.

DenPink Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share #159 Posted April 17, 2016 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.

DenPink Posted May 3, 2016 Author Share #170 Posted May 3, 2016 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 .

DenPink Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share #171 Posted May 4, 2016 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.

Visi Posted May 4, 2016 Share #178 Posted May 4, 2016 (edited) Denis 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 - visi Edited May 4, 2016 by Visi DenPink 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
