Adrieke Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share #455 Posted February 5, 2014 most of my two weeks holliday i have spend trying to get over my jetlag. going back and forth (from Australia to Belgiium) twice had seriously messed up my sleeping and bothing seemed real anymore i did manage to slowly work on the second planking. i am now pretty close to finishing but havent made to good a job of it so i ll need to do a lot of filing and sanding to get the smooth surface i was hoping for i had also opened up the hull earlier to take out some filling from the first layer that had seeped through and was ratling inside hopefuly another week or two and i can finaly start on painting the hull popeye the sailor, mtaylor, trippwj and 2 others 5 Quote Current builds : HMS Bounty, Constructo Pilar Next build : undecided On the Shelf : AL San Juan, Mamoli HMS Victory Builds on hold : Ochre Gorch Fock, Hachette/Amati Black Pearl Previous Builds Gallery : Virginia; King of Mississippi Previous Builds logs : AL King of Mississippi 1/80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrieke Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share #459 Posted February 16, 2014 its been awhile but I am finally have got an update second planking is almost done , just a few more planks near the keel during the sanding of the first layer I didn't notice that I sanded down the keel to a point at the front and back I decided to cut off these parts and replace with 2 new bits here they are glued on and some filler applied to cover up the gaps : I have also soaked the stern part and bended into the right shape using the form the keel came from I intend to start the tedious work of sanding and filling the second layer next weekend mobbsie, Piet, Kevin and 5 others 8 Quote Current builds : HMS Bounty, Constructo Pilar Next build : undecided On the Shelf : AL San Juan, Mamoli HMS Victory Builds on hold : Ochre Gorch Fock, Hachette/Amati Black Pearl Previous Builds Gallery : Virginia; King of Mississippi Previous Builds logs : AL King of Mississippi 1/80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themadchemist Posted March 24, 2014 Share #479 Posted March 24, 2014 We must be missing each other coming and going. I finally saw your log on page 1 today. Glad to hear that life may be restoring itself to a bit of normalcy as you have had a very trying time this past year. Your GF is look great. It makes me always wonder why they design painted hull ships with double planks. The use of masking tape to stay away from the CA is a grand idea. Tape and rubber bands are underestimated by builders as a very useful tool. Be Well My Friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
