michael mott Posted April 12, 2013 Share #36 Posted April 12, 2013 Many Happy returns Daniel, It was interesting that Sarah thought you were much older than you are , I too had the same thought, It seems that Sarah is still quite young as well judging from the picture in the builder thread. I must echo the thoughts about working with the finer grained hardwoods. Basswood is nice but has it limitations as do all woods. if you have a Lee Valley store close, they sell small blanks of the fine grained woods for turning pen bodies etc, they are very reasonably priced as well. The hull shape looks great.

DSiemens Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share #45 Posted April 17, 2013 More pictures!!! I decided to try and scribe the planking. My thought is I can scribe it and if it's awful I can plank over it. The deck planking came out well. I'm very happy with it. The rest is so so. From far away it's ok since it's such a small ship but up close it looks like it was planked by the three stooges. I'm still in debate about it for a few reasons. It isn't as well done as I would like but I do like the look. I'm thinking though that with it in the bottle and with some channels going on as well as other fittings they won't be noticeable So in effect it may work just fine. Also I'm adding the sealer,forgot the actual name, on the bottom which covers a lot of the planking lines. Most of this will be under the ocean but I like having it. I am planning on building two or three of these so I may just keep this one as the practice ship and turn over the better ones to the pirates. qwerty2008, IgorSky and popeye the sailor 3 Quote Daniel We're ship in bottle builders, it's an occupational hazard. www.siemensbottlingco.blogspot.com http://www.bottledshipbuilder.com Current Builds: Bermuda Sloop Wood Krafters Pirate Ship Completed: 20 Gun Frigate Olympic 470 Bermuda Sloop Super Mini Queen Anne's Revenge German Cutter Mercury Santa Maria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSiemens Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share #48 Posted April 20, 2013 Got some more work done. I'm not going to worry about scribing planking on any of the other ships the channels covered it all up. I tried a new idea and cut out the windows straight from the plans and glued them onto the side and back of the ship. I like the look and it's much more accurate then trying to paint it on. qwerty2008 1 Quote Daniel We're ship in bottle builders, it's an occupational hazard. www.siemensbottlingco.blogspot.com http://www.bottledshipbuilder.com Current Builds: Bermuda Sloop Wood Krafters Pirate Ship Completed: 20 Gun Frigate Olympic 470 Bermuda Sloop Super Mini Queen Anne's Revenge German Cutter Mercury Santa Maria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSiemens Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share #52 Posted April 20, 2013 Looks great Daniel, sure you will hand her over to the pirates once finished ? Regards, John Thanks John. The plan is to build two if I'm not sick of the ship by the time I'm done with the second I'll build a third. We'll see I have a bunch of projects I want to get to as well. To many ideas not enough time. Thank you Augie and Michael. I saw some on do the same thing with hatches I figured it would work with the windows. I may try to touch them up with white paint and more stain on the edges to darken them up. Debating a darker stain on the channels as well just so there's some contrast. I asked the pirates about color schemes but haven't heard anything back yet.

DSiemens Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share #53 Posted April 21, 2013 (edited) Got the port side done and the rudder in place. Still need to add the keel which is why I left the rudder so long. My philosophy is cut big and sand to size. So far it works. I also decided to change the way I did the windows and the transom. The ship lacked color so I cut off the old transom added color to the plans in Photoshop and printed a new one. I like this much better. Then like an idiot I nick it with the dremel. So if you see some paint differences that's why. I also added gold paint around the windows. This actually did two things added color and the build up of the paint gave it a more defined windowsill look. I'm much happier with my windows now. Now I'm finally getting to the itty bitty fun parts.

DSiemens Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share #55 Posted April 23, 2013 I tried a new technique today creating the figurehead. Took a lot of tries but it worked out. You can see what she's supposed to look like on the plans. Given the scale I think she looks pretty good. Got the idea from an amazing SIB builder Michael Bardet of France. Here's the link. http://michel.bardet.pagesperso-orange.fr/rdr2006infoa.htm Simply put I took a piece of wire and bent it into the shape of the figurehead. Then painted it a couple times to fill out the shape.

I try to add as much detail as I can just to see if I can. I was actually pretty excited to get the figure head on. I've always wanted to add figure heads but couldn't figure out how to get them so small. I'll see if this technique will work for the lion on the Satisfaction as well.
