Papa Posted September 2, 2017 Author Share #31 Posted September 2, 2017 Dan, maybe you can help identify the piece on this page with the bottom plates. It has no number and all the bottom plates 1-8 are present and accounted for. Also, followed your advice and am putting in some longitudinal braces Canute 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Vadas Posted September 2, 2017 Share #32 Posted September 2, 2017 Hard to say Ron - perhaps part of the Rudder? It's definitely part of the lower hull below the waterline. It might need folding but it's an odd shape. Can you put up a pic of the other Hull Skins? Good to see you took the advice on extra hull bracing .

Captain Slog Posted September 2, 2017 Share #33 Posted September 2, 2017 My guess is the publisher has just filled in the blank space between parts with a colour 'swatch' which can be used to make repairs or patches. Some publishers do this, others don't which is a pain as it means trying to colour match any repairs. Usually big enough to make at least one full size replacement part though.

Papa Posted September 3, 2017 Author Share #34 Posted September 3, 2017 Capt Slog, i was also thinking it might just be an extra piece. All of the pieces on that page are for the lower hull except the one marked 13a. Canute and Captain Slog 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No real problem there Pav - the pics are too low a resolution to be of any use to someone copying them.

Papa Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share #50 Posted October 10, 2017 Now that I have nearly finished the hull I have learned some valuable lessons. 1. Use white glue VERY sparingly. 2. Keep your workspace spotless so that you don't lay a critical part on some wet paint 3. Thicken the bulkheads or add lots of longitudinal bracing so that all of the hull plates lie smoothly. 4. Trim the seam-hiding strips so that the additional armor plates do not overlap and leave an ugly bump. 5. Write part numbers on the back before cutting out. I can't wait to see what I learn as I attempt the deck furnishings. ccoyle, cog and Canute 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must be getting better then . When I finished skinning the hull of Amatsukaze I made and attached the permanent stand to it. I also tack glued a large sheet of balsa under the stand as a protection against bumping into the odd tool (or twenty ) on the bench. That all worked rather well . If you intend using that cradle, I'd suggest you cut largish 45 degree angles into the uprights - they look like they will restrict your reach somewhat. I can see bruised wrists coming up .
