Steve 12345 Posted February 4, 2017 Author #62 Posted February 4, 2017 I found with the spray laquer im using harry on the wheel house when I had to glue small parts on the roof with ca cause id already applied finish it left a small sort of clouded affect I was almost gonna rebuild but then I tried spraying a small amount into the spray can plastic lid and appling with a brush the clouded effect disappeared I feel that will work for using ca on the fish boxes however I do like your idea of pinning Quote
hof00 Posted February 4, 2017 #63 Posted February 4, 2017 Yup, Thanks Steve, All Power Tools deserve that respect. After my first few goes with the Small Proxxon, I managed to cut into the end of my right Index Finger, believe me, it cut really quickly!! The Kerf is very fine, so compression and a week of Band Aids, all good. (I now use "Push Sticks" whenever possible.) I too have the Full sized machinery for Cabinet work, Etc. (I want to keep my Fingers firmly attached thank you. ) Cheers....HOF.

Steve 12345 Posted February 4, 2017 Author #65 Posted February 4, 2017 back to my bounty Derek should have been on it at minute but love this little ship and was surprised it took over but at the end of the day its a hobby work on what you enjoy most that's why its a hobby hof00 1 Quote
Steve 12345 Posted February 4, 2017 Author #66 Posted February 4, 2017 Quick question hof looking back over the log in the pictures you supplied in page 1 I notice you fitted the handrails before the inner bulwark uprights did you find that made the process easier than fitting the uprights then trying to cut flush at correct angle Quote
hof00 Posted February 5, 2017 #67 Posted February 5, 2017 Hi Steve, Yes I did.... Did it make it easier? I don't recall but I must have had a reason for it at the time. Have I helped? (Probably not) Cheers....HOF. Quote Completed Builds: A/L Bluenose II A/L Mare Nostrum Sergal/Mantua Cutty Sark A/L Pen Duick A/L Fulgaro Amati/Partworks 1/200 Bismarck A/L Sanson
Steve 12345 Posted February 5, 2017 Author #68 Posted February 5, 2017 (edited) Giving it some thought fitting the hand rail first would mean you get the advantage of fitting each upright one at a time fine tuning as required I've put some thought into it I'm not impressed with the kit recommendations the handrail doesn't meet it just butts against the keel leaving an ugly space between I think I will recess the two handrails in so they meet also I don't like how the uprights prutred the hand rails the kit calls for 3mm x 3mm ill will use 3mm x 2mm I think I will fit the three by two uprights first then try the modified handrail using the ply wood originals and see how that works I'll post pics tomo night with how it turns out Edited February 5, 2017 by Steve 12345 hof00 1 Quote
Steve 12345 Posted February 5, 2017 Author #69 Posted February 5, 2017 Hello all nice productive weekend managed to plank the inner bulwarks fit the vertical stanchions which is changed to 3x2 instead of 3x3 and managed to get the handrails fitted Heronguy 1 Quote

Steve 12345 Posted February 7, 2017 Author #75 Posted February 7, 2017 How did anybody go for rigging thread on this ship ? If there is a hint the provided stuff will run out unless used conservatively then I will purchase my own hate running out then trying to match the provided stuff thanks Steve Quote
Worldway Posted February 7, 2017 #76 Posted February 7, 2017 I'm thinking I'm going to run into the same problem. They certainly weren't generous with material. I find I'm constantly going into my scrap pile to find off-cuts to use. I'll let you know if I get there before you.

hof00 Posted February 8, 2017 #78 Posted February 8, 2017 Nice work Steve. Regarding Rigging material, I didn't have any issues of quantity, but, this was prior to the A/L downgrade of course.

Steve 12345 Posted February 8, 2017 Author #79 Posted February 8, 2017 Had a think about the last question I posted about the rigging it's no Hms victory if I run out I'll just strip it off and redo but the provided stuff looks plenty Heronguy and hof00 2 Quote
hof00 Posted February 8, 2017 #80 Posted February 8, 2017 Hi Chap, Regarding the Rigging for this, there's sod all in the Grand Scheme of things. Shrouds/Ratlines, a few Backstays, Winch Lines and a few Coils of "Rope" on Deck. (My build anyway) I used Wire for the Antenna Stuff. (Incidentally, I am almost out of 0.25mm "Beige" for the PD but have a reasonable supply at hand "Post" Cutty Sark build. I intend to try my best to keep up the resources I have to hand. ) Cheers....HOF.

rwiederrich Posted February 10, 2017 #85 Posted February 10, 2017 Looks fantastic...but if I may suggest...try using some bees wax on your lines...it covers up all those frizzies and smooth's out the line. Cotton line is notorious for frizzing. Super attention to clean detail....

Steve 12345 Posted February 10, 2017 Author #86 Posted February 10, 2017 Thanks Rob Indeed looking at the frizzy line lets her down a bit I may redo the rat lines as there is so little of them Quote
