BANYAN Posted March 23, 2018 Share #391 Posted March 23, 2018 (edited) Very nice paint finish so far Russ, you must have prepared that hull very nicely to achieve it. I can also recommend the frogtape, but I have also had good results with Tamiya tape. cheers Pat Edited March 23, 2018 by BANYAN mtaylor, russ, src and 1 other 4 Quote If at first you do not suceed, try, and then try again!Current build: HMCSS Victoria (Scratch) Next build: HMAS Vampire (3D printed resin, scratch 1:350) Built: Battle Station (Scratch) and HM Bark Endeavour 1768 (kit 1:64) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJSoane Posted March 24, 2018 Share #395 Posted March 24, 2018 I further recommend the Tamiya tape.

russ Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share #406 Posted March 27, 2018 Michael: Thanks. These luggers were often very attractive hulls. The entrance at the fore foot is often straight and is created by the use of the nearly upright stem. That results in the body sections that are slightly concave below the water line near the bow. Most of the boats had a pleasing sheer line as well. This is one of the post WWII boats that tended to be longer for their breadth and somewhat deeper in the hold for use a little further offshore. The 1930s boats were also pretty, but they tended to be smaller, with more belly, and a bit more shallow. All things said, I prefer the longer deeper hulls.

popeye the sailor Posted March 30, 2018 Share #407 Posted March 30, 2018 catching up Russ......a good bit of progress I've had the same problem with tape.......I use two different types myself. she looks very nice though.....the colors work very well together. if your ship has it, you could do a waterline stripe, and make short work of it. even though all it boils down to really, is just some minor touch ups. the hatch looks great! another problem I run into, is when I leave the tape on too long, the paint will create a raised line that I have to lightly sand off, or hand rub, using a soft cotton cloth. wonderful progress.......well done cog, russ, src and 1 other 4 Quote I yam wot I yam! finished builds: Billings Nordkap 476 / Billings Cux 87 / Billings Mary Ann / Billings AmericA - reissue Billings Regina - bashed into the Susan A / Andrea Gail 1:20 - semi scratch w/ Billing instructions M&M Fun Ship - semi scratch build / Gundalow - scratch build / Jeanne D'Arc - Heller Phylly C & Denny-Zen - the Lobsie twins - bashed & semi scratch dual build Billing T78 Norden in dry dock: Billing's Gothenborg 1:100 / Billing's Boulogne Etaples 1:20 Billing's Half Moon 1:40 - some scratch required Revell U.S.S.

russ Posted March 30, 2018 Author Share #408 Posted March 30, 2018 Thanks. I think the tape was fine. I just did not get it down well. That is on me. The raised line usually comes from having a lot of layers build up against the tape line. That is my experience with it. I usually hand rub until it is gone.

russ Posted June 26, 2018 Author Share #409 Posted June 26, 2018 Hello again. It has been quite a while since I posted any progress. I just wanted folks to know the project is still in progress. There has been a lot of daily life stuff getting in the way. Spring cleaning, Spring planting, some interior renovations, etc. It all takes time, energy, and focus and all of that gets diverted from the shop into these other projects. Now that things are starting to get back to normal, I am also working on another scratch built project. I am, from this point on, most likely going to be building in POF. The new model is a Biloxi schooner, but it is being built plank on frame. I might post something on that as time goes on. Thanks for bearing with me despite the delays.
