druxey Posted July 29, 2014 #661 Posted July 29, 2014 Try swelling the wood with a drop or two of water applied with a brush. It will probably leave a watermark, but a rub of fine sandpaper and refinish over it and it should miraculously vanish!

dgbot Posted July 29, 2014 #664 Posted July 29, 2014 Remco, I found your log and devoured it. You really put me to shame with your skill and workmanship. As for redos I have had my fair share over the years. When I first started my Latham I had to remake the hull several times because my mentors at the time pointed out that it was not perfectly symetrical. Then the planking the prop and the rest. If this is all you have to worry about my hat is off to you in awe and respect. And just have patience with Pepples.

Remcohe Posted July 30, 2014 Author #666 Posted July 30, 2014 Thank you guys. Yes Druxey that is a good trick for dents, unfortunately her little fangs cut the fibers so I nee to fill the gap or go for Greg's story. Might as well throw in the musket as well....... It's a Brown Bess Sea Service Pattern 53.5 inch long musket, making it just over an inch long to match my model. Only dry fitted, brass will blackened and the boxwood darkened with mahogany stain.

druxey Posted July 30, 2014 #667 Posted July 30, 2014 Nice story. One marine will be severely reprimanded for the discharge of his weapon! Seriously, you could still try the water trick, even if the fibers have been cut.

Remcohe Posted July 31, 2014 Author #675 Posted July 31, 2014 I tried to fix the bite mark with some water Druxey, but unfortunately it's to deep and wide. I can fix it with some colored wax or, we make up a good story how the musket was discharged and hit the riding bitt. I'm with Mark here let's blame the rat Piet one's enough! So here's all painted, blackened and assembled. The wood turned out a little darker than I would have liked, but it will go nicely with all the other mini projects like the wicker basket, cutlery, etc to show off the model.

The Bess had a kick like a mule and was a delight to handle. Don't forget to put it where it can be seen on your Kingfisher, it is a model in its own right Tony
