EdT Posted August 26, 2014 #751 Posted August 26, 2014 Hello, Remco. Lovely work as always. Although I routinely use bamboo for treenails, I agree that the apperance is not always the best as your demo piece shows. Ease of drawing to small sizes is the main attraction I guess. I have used genuine box, but for some reason have not tried castelo. What size are you drawing the castelo to? I may be ready to convert - at least for the open areas.

dgbot Posted August 26, 2014 #752 Posted August 26, 2014 Years ago at Manitowoc I saw a mid section of the Victory. From a distance you did not see it but up close you could see that it was tree nailed. The modeler had used the bristles from a brush that were a clear plastic or nylon.

SJSoane Posted August 27, 2014 #755 Posted August 27, 2014 Hi Remco, I am curious, too. What is the diameter of your boxwood treenails? It looks terrific. Current build: HMS Bellona 74, ca. 1760, 1:64 http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/196-hms-bellona-by-sjsoane-scale-164-1760-as-designed/
Remcohe Posted August 27, 2014 Author #756 Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) Thanks all for the kind comments. Alan,I use a pin vise to drill the holes, my dremel is much to aggressive for this type of drilling and the smaller drills do not fit in my other micro motor. Next to that I feel much more comfortable to do this precise work by hand, a powertool will not give the feedback a pin vice does. Ed, Mark, I draw the castello up to the .018 hole, getting at the smaller sizes you really need to be careful not to break the wood. I use 24" strips to get a better yield from the work involved drawing one strip. I also made a minor improvement to my Ed's style clamps as the treaded holes started to wear out pretty quickly in my case. I added square holes and inserted little nuts for strength.

WackoWolf Posted August 27, 2014 #757 Posted August 27, 2014 Remco, Nice idea on the clamps, I have also ran into that same problem. Now I know how to go about solving that problem. Thanks again. Wacko Joe Go MSW :)

Remcohe Posted August 28, 2014 Author #760 Posted August 28, 2014 Gaetan, at the slowest setting my dremel (cordless type) still turns very fast, and even with the flexible cord I find it to bulky to operate near my model. My other micromotor has no 3 jaw chuck. Remco 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 October 19, 2014 Author #761 Posted October 19, 2014 A long overdue update....... I was too busy making decals and flags I planked the port side from the Sheer strake up, this is all the planking I will do on this side except some minor parts I need for the rigging. Next up tree nailing the lot.... Also made new brass knobs on the clamps, as it turned out the wooden ones didn't hold up after I reenforced the bars with nuts.

Piet Posted October 19, 2014 #764 Posted October 19, 2014 Yep, I know, it's my fault Remco and I am very sorry KIDDING!!! Glad you could spend some time in the shipyard and the planking looks superb, at least from here. I'll just have to determine that when I can see your KF in real life. I'll bring my inspector's magnifying glass with me Cheers, cog 1 Piet, The Flying Dutchman. "Your greatest asset is not the quantity of your friends , rather the quality of your friends."

Remcohe Posted October 20, 2014 Author #766 Posted October 20, 2014 Alan, Cog, I turned the fittings on my lathe, added knurls to finish them off and soldered them to the bars. Cabrapente, thats I nice little tool, I prefer to drill all holes manually as this gives far greater control and precision.

Remcohe Posted October 26, 2014 Author #770 Posted October 26, 2014 (edited) Thanks Joe, Vivian & Mark. Indeed I used the knurling attachment from Shereline, it gives a good grip and a adds a nice touch. Port side treenailed And draught marks added, they won't be painted red as they should as this might be to distracting. They are just 3 mm, 1/8" high Remco Edited October 26, 2014 by Remco cookster, Piet, druxey and 28 others 31 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 October 27, 2014 Author #777 Posted October 27, 2014 Thanks all. Cog, I used a tripod and the timer to take that picture. Dave, the carving was done with small chisels of different sizes. Druxey, I was planning to tonight but ran into a problem. While marking their position I saw the stern post has the same with as the largest XIV and XIII marking. So adding them here will look odd. In the picture they are roughly penciled in but the final markings will take the full with of the stern post. I'd better leave them off Remco butch, harvey1847, Elmer Cornish and 14 others 17 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 October 28, 2014 #779 Posted October 28, 2014 I think the widest marks were placed with the letters tight against each other, as the example from the NMM. These were from the wreck of the Royal George, sunk in 1782.
