SJSoane Posted April 13, 2014 Share #574 Posted April 13, 2014 Nice, Remco! I am glad the jig idea worked for you. I would be lost without it. I am sure we will both be happy when we construct and install the window frames, knowing everything is already accurately spaced and hopefully symmetrical. Did you cut that very clean rabbet in the fore edge of the transom with a hand chisel?

Remcohe Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share #579 Posted April 21, 2014 Thanks all. Yes Mark the rabbet was cut using chisels, as it curves in two directions no way I could do it on a mill. The parts that make up the helmport are an interesting exercise in testfitting to get them right The straps to the counter timbers were cut from 0.2 mm brass sheet and bend to shape, 0.4 mm brass bolts (actually a bit oversized) were used to glue the strips down Remco Dubz, robbl, Jeronimo and 30 others 33 Quote Treat each part as if it is a model on its own, you will finish more models in a day than others do in a lifetime.

Maury S Posted April 22, 2014 Share #587 Posted April 22, 2014 Remco, Is the brass sheet soft enough to shape the straps in situ, or do you have to bend them off the model and keep test-fitting?

Remcohe Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share #591 Posted April 23, 2014 Thanks for the likes and compliments. Maury, Michael, the brass was hard bent off the model. Although 0.2 mm bends quite easily, making 90 degree bends was done on my hold and fold. the other shaping was done with round nosed pliers. Final adjustments were done on the model. Meanwhile the lower counter is planked but not yet faired.

Mike Y Posted April 29, 2014 Share #597 Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) Wow! How do you make such a crisp edge? What is the trick for such a finishing? Could you please share some of your techologies? I guess it is hand plane and chisels, and then sanding with a sandpaper wrapped around a block, to avoid smoothing the edges? Or there is something else? Or you skip the sanding completely, and use only chisels and magic? I understand that question sounds strange, "please explain your mastership in a few words", but really hope to learn proper techiques! Spent evening re-reading the whole log again, fantastic level! Such a pleasure to see! And how do you finish the wood, for example, frames and beams? On a photos I even don't see the poly, or it is a very thin layer?

Mike Y Posted May 1, 2014 Share #598 Posted May 1, 2014 Also, what is your technology for making such an accurate joints of deck beams? Like on that photo: http://modelshipworld.com/uploads/monthly_12_2013/post-20-0-91612300-1385926869.jpeg Please pardon me for such a flood of questions, but just really can't stop looking on that pictures again and again.. You raised a bar to the sky! The "treat every part as a small model" approach is genius! It's all about the process, does not matter if a build will take 10 years, but if it is _that_ quality..

Remcohe Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share #599 Posted May 1, 2014 Mike, Thank you for your intrest and no I don't mind all the questions The basic tools I use are (very) sharp chisels and surgical blades, files and sometimes a plane. All finishing is done with quality sandpaper and the trick is to always glue the sandpaper to a hard surface. I incorporated my own version of a 'true sander' in a small work surface that I can easily slide out of the way (together with all the tools scattered around it) so I can pull the hull close by to work on the hull. A glass plate with different grades of paper to flatten or thin down parts and small sanding sticks, I make different ones for different purposes like the ones to sand the deck beams. The joints for the deck beams are marked and cut with a chisel, usually on the bench and never in situ except when I did http://modelshipworl...1385926869.jpeg but that was just me being dumb. For finish I used tungoil until, but now I'm switching to microcrystalline wax as it's less glossy. I prefer a flat finish so it's hard to see in the pictures where the finish is applied and where not.
