Good Morning Gents

 

Thanks guys for the positive comments and for the likes, all are appreciated very much.

 

Mark, Thanks very much for your help and the information, job done.

 

Jason, Thank you for your input mate, I understand what your saying about the Red Ensign and as a result I've decided to leave it alone.

 

I'm now done with the log and would like to thank all who have followed along, it's been an elongated build mainly due to the vagaries of myself, again thanks for sticking with me and your patience.

 

Be Good

Hi Mobbsie, I'm very new to building models, and have ended up with a v similar looking kit, being the lancia baleniera (a whaling version), with the same triple planking.  And there's one thing that's worrying me at an early stage which I hope you can help with....I've got the bulkheads all fared and ready to fix, but on my model they have to be removed entirely after planking - with the planks glued to the bulkheads I can't really see how I can the remove them afterwards.  How did you get around this on yours?

 

It looks superb by the way - I'm many months or years from that at the moment! Thanks, Ed

Hi Neddie, I don’t think Mobbsie is on here much anymore, I built one of these also and you don’t glue the planks to the bulkheads- I glued wax paper to the edges of the bulkheads to keep the planks from adhering to them, you instead use the bulkheads as a form for the planking and edge glue the planks to each other, you need to use minimal glue on the first layer as it will be seen from the inside of the boat - I had to sand the first layer quite a bit to remove some of the excess glue marks.... hope that helps....

You could also put cling wrap on the edge of the bulkhead to prevent the planks being glued to them.

Thank you both, much appreciated, and I can see how it should progress (well this bit!)

I have the Sergel Thermopylae,  and this same procedure is required.  basically,  I didn't put glue to the posts,  but I did run some along the planking that will join together.  it works out to the same results
