Remcohe Posted March 15 Author #1203 Posted March 15 Thanks all for the warm welcome back. Yes Greg the whale will be getting a touch up when I have the nerve to stain it on the model... And no Grant I don't think the rat survived the harsh conditions the model was stowed on for at least a year off-site. It was in an open storage facility suffering the seasons. I'm very surprised that there only some very minor cracks in the planking. The scuppers were drilled from two sides (don't tell not all the way through because they did not line up very well in all places. The hawse holes are lined with holy. I soaked a thin sheet of holy in water, rolled it up when it was soft and then let it dry in my food curing oven. This gave a nice curve to the planks. I tinted the seams with pencel lead to make them stand out a little more. Deck planking added Breast hooks and bucklers installed Remco Seventynet, KentM, westwood and 31 others 34 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.

Remcohe Posted 19 hours ago Author #1209 Posted 19 hours ago (edited) A long overdue update..... I added the bowsprit step, finished the riding bitt standard, the stove was finally put in place. I made the stove a long time ago, based on the NNM plans I decided not to use the Brodie stove but a brick stove. The Brodie stove I have made too, eons ago, but it will stay in the parts drawer. Also the forecastle bulkhead was build and added. The Breastbeam (the aft most beam on the Forecastle deck) took some extra care because it has a molding. This was carefully added with a custom scraper Remco Edited 19 hours ago by Remcohe tlevine, Rustyj, Dowmer and 19 others 14 8 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.

druxey Posted 17 hours ago #1211 Posted 17 hours ago Lovely work, as usual! The brickwork is very convincing. Why did you opt not to use a Brodie stove, as these were pretty standard by this time. Do you have evidence to show the old style stove fitted? Or is it simply personal choice?

Mark P Posted 9 hours ago #1214 Posted 9 hours ago Amazing quality of work and detailing; a bar set very high for normal mortals to aspire to reach! Envious congratulations from one who has not yet reached it. Such models create a means of really appreciating the skills possessed by the men who built the full-size versions of these vessels. All the best, Mark P Remcohe and Nirvana 2 Previously built models (long ago, aged 18-25ish) POB construction. 32 gun frigate, scratch-built sailing model, Underhill plans. 2 masted topsail schooner, Underhill plans. Started at around that time, but unfinished: 74 gun ship 'Bellona' NMM plans. POB On the drawing board: POF model of Royal Caroline 1749, part-planked with interior details. My own plans, based on Admiralty draughts and archival research. Always on the go: Research into Royal Navy sailing warship design, construction and use, from Tudor times to 1790.
