samson Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share #8 Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) Hi everybody and thanks for komments Omar , Bill and hof00 So I start my Cutty Sark log First, a little background. I built models since I was a boy - back then it was Airfix I gathered. I also built a few wooden boats -but it was not here it caught my interest razed to build in wood In 1976 or 77, I bought Billing boats See Adler and built the hull but went dead in having to make the rig. so in 1990 I built the finish after having cleaned it off for 13 years dust. In 2010 I build my first Cutty Sark - it's Billing Boats 564 - laser cut. I was not entirely happy with the result and I got the opportunity to try Artesanias Cutty Sark , It was a completely eye-opening experience. there is real quality in diferens in detail and material selection .and in the building instruction. With this model, I got a building log on a side called Jolly Roger shipyard, the closed and so I continued on a page - Model Space Forum where I still am today. Billing boats See Adler finish 1990-91 Billing boats 564 My first Cutty Sark Cutty Sark Artesania Latina My sekkend C.S. But what this is all about is my third Cutty sark - Billing Boats 459 bought used about 30 years old but "almost" complete with fittings. I stop her . and start nekst leder building op the freams/ribs . see you son Cheers All Jens Edited January 9, 2016 by samson tarbrush, Jim Rogers, popeye the sailor and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samson Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share #9 Posted January 9, 2016 Hi Again The frames are cut on a band saw by hand and therefore somewhat coarse I will build a false keel so that's why I cut the bow of i folov building instruktion from Artesania , so i cut avay standings but in a way i can youse them later for chaping the bulwork. The frames are set after a string I build things inside the ship and fake iron frames. the plan is to be able to look down into the cargo. All for now next ledder light inside and dekking .

samson Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share #10 Posted January 9, 2016 I will also build inside the captain's cabin, it requires little modification I mount car dashboard lights inside the ship I just did it wrong they were connected in series, they should have been parallel connected - expensive learning money.

samson Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share #12 Posted January 9, 2016 Hi All I have the idea of building with aluminum at locations where, in fact, is used iron, and it is especially the sea rail I am thinking of.- metal for metal. The wood that is in the kit are balsa wood. which in my opinion can only be used for gliders. I use only the deck plates. the wood I instead use is from a scrapped Artesania kit I have taken over - and what is left from Artesania CS havewer i uses billing wood as filler mostly to get read of it in a konstruktive way Her dek is way onder way . Dek finish planking started Its so long a lether i have to cut in 2. Altduck, omarcs, hexnut and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samson Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share #18 Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) Hi Richard , Tasmanian , Peter and Thunder Thanks for righting mee prisietet it Richard Thanks for nice koment. Peter Jenssen Jeg skulle vel ikke kunne skrive til Dig på dansk ? Tasmanian EL Chapo ? Hu is He ? Thunder . The bedst Kit in my opinion ? The best kit between Billing Boats and Artesania Latina Cutty Sark for the price is certainly Artesania. when talking about material selection, detail, instructions. This also makes artesania far harder / fun to build if they were from the same factory would Billing be catalysed light and artesania for hewig to build. Cheers All Jens.

samson Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share #26 Posted January 11, 2016 Hello Peter Fun to write to a Scandinavian on the other side of the earth. And as you write, it is not good enough that they - Billing Boats do not want to use their own figurehead. and that they now deliver Mark 3 ordision Laser cut and everything and then still with the same old crap that they came up with? 1965-70? It is only the dead eys and the blocks that have changed to wood. since then. They kut due better . Cheres Jens. popeye the sailor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samson Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share #28 Posted January 11, 2016 Hi Rudolf i mad a princip plan to explane how it build up. After laying the dek plate on , i put wood in the korners betwin the frames so ther was bagground for mounting the alu vit glu an tempreary nails . under the alu begids the "reeal" planking But to make it little more dificult i startede wit planking first then alu and otsid a slim list to covor ataksion from alu and over this list a squar list -- Now the aly is glued in bottom and stands by itself only under control in front and back . at this point you have to chape it and that you do by gluing a squar list on indsid top of alu . and this chapes the curwe of the ship så be kritikal vith the chape it taks as it is permanely . Afterwards you dril tru the squar list and dovn in the dek and glue the round stanchions in. I hope it not all nonsens to read .
