Hennie Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share #33 Posted May 26, 2017 @Thx edmay I just started with the first planking. Also the sails and the strips arrived this week, which I ordered in England. I will use 0.5x4mm strips on the decks, because those prefab planks look ugly. As you can see, I take my time with this build..... coxswain, edmay, Sjors and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallshiptragic Posted May 26, 2017 Share #34 Posted May 26, 2017 Oh very interested in finding out what the sails are like. I've been thinking about buying he set myself. I have already ordered the correct flags from the U.K. BEC is the brand. At least the union flag will be correct as that of the ensign and charles the 1st banner.

Hennie Posted May 27, 2017 Author Share #36 Posted May 27, 2017 @Anton: where did you get the correct flag(s)? @Popeye: thx. Maybe I use the planks also for the second planking, because the colour isn't as dark as the wood in the box. And what's more important: they bend very easily. All the strips were delevered in a box: 15x50cm. They just bend them arround! popeye the sailor and Piet 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallshiptragic Posted May 27, 2017 Share #37 Posted May 27, 2017 Hey Hennie, the flags are from Cornwall model boats. BEC brand. Attached are the flag codes I bought.

Tallshiptragic Posted May 28, 2017 Share #39 Posted May 28, 2017 I do prefer Cornwall model boats as my main online store.

I want to be busy with this ship for at least several years And a small update: Put some peaces on the decks. For the colour, I used walnut wood stain and Artesania oil. Till now everything fits pretty well.

edmay Posted June 25, 2017 Share #52 Posted June 25, 2017 Hello Hennie ,the walnut stain makes the deck really stand out ,very nice ,the main thing to me is your smile of enjoyment ,just like your profile , research ,scratch additions ,using stains and different paints to improve the look will in my opinion produce a masterpiece, following with much interest, in 1959 I did the Nimagan march 100 km sorry for spelling , had the best time in your country,the most generous and happy people, was in brit mil then ,Edwin Hennie and Piet 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hennie Posted June 25, 2017 Author Share #53 Posted June 25, 2017 @Edwin, .....produce a masterpiece... Thx for the trust you have in me And I think you mean that you participated in the four days march from Nijmegen or as we call it "de vierdaagse van Nijmegen). well, respect my friend And of course the weekly update: I removed the woodstrips from the deck in front. I was not quit satisfied with it. Allready replaced it. Only have to put the pins on it.... I also had to do some modifications. So I had to lower the frontside of the frontdeck because I found out that that piece of wood that coveres the front, wasn't high enough. And I did some painting. The black paint I will polish and then a second black coating. But that's for next week.... Gr.

Hennie Posted July 2, 2017 Author Share #58 Posted July 2, 2017 And here is my weekly update again. Planking the decks will take much more time as I thought in the first place. Though the strips are from Caldercraft, the sizes are all different . They go from 3.2mm up to 4.8mm as you can see on the picture. I used a dart and hammer to make little holes in the strips. After using Artesania-oil, it gives a nice (nail)effect. I also made some doors, we all want our privacy, do we..... Looking at my ship now, I am quit satisfied how it goes so far. Had to do several modifications to get it all fit and as I see it, many mods will follow. But its part of this hobby...

Hennie Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share #60 Posted July 3, 2017 @Sjors, thx and no, the deck was already sanded and as you can see, on the left top of the deck the planks already sanded away. They are just 0.5mm thick. Hennie Piet, zoly99sask, popeye the sailor and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
