IL Leudo by SHIPSCAT (Jolene) - Mamoli - scale 1:34


Recommended Posts

Hi Jo.

Painting will spoil the look of the boat ..But saying that it might be a option you might take after planking.

Advice... Read the instructions and compare with the kit. Test all assembles as many times as it takes to satisfy yourself that you are doing the right thing.

It's a nice ship when finished and makes a very nice display.

I built a Leudo some time ago. Check my builds below.

 

Regards Antony.

Just in case you haven't seen it, in addition to Bindy's build and Maurino's gallery on this forum, there's a build of the Leudo on YouTube which you might find helpful at:

Ouch!!! Those colors!!! In my opinion, the fastest and most effective way to spoil a build is to use shiny paints or varnish. If painted, colors should be flat.

When in doubt, better leave it in natural wood finish!

There aren't but two options: do it FAST, or do it RIGHT.

Red is a very fast fading colour, this image of the painted model seems to be fairly accurate.

But, many years of plastic modelling speaking, weathering and wear really add to a painted model. Then again, there is the widespread opinion here that going for an unpainted wood only build is the way to go.

 

My personal opinion is that going for authenticity is the way to go, paint what was painted, with weathering if you want a used look, leave the rest as it was as used originally.

 

I'm just pleased that my current Billings Roar Ege build can be weathered to eternity and beyond........

Hi Antony.

Thank you for dropping in on my IL Leudo build.

Was thinking of painting the hull only.

Hello shipyard workers.

 

Well I have put my L brackets on my shiny white board.

Before anyone asks me my wrist hurts screwing the screws in 😭.

So when you all have stopped laughing 😄 you can tell me I have done it wrong.

 

That thing in the middle look a bit low don't you think, I purchased the smallest L brackets I could find.

Do you think I should put some blocks under it on each end.

 

It's a start yippeeeeeeeeeeee.

It helps to have the keel up off the building board a few inches, as part of the next task is putting in the bulkheads and the bottom alignment of the bulkheads relative to the keel is one of the key things to get right. If the keel is up, it's a bit easier to see that alignment.

 

But I'm not sure it's worth hurting your wrist to screw them all back out and back in a new position.

It doesn’t look like you have screwed the brackets to you keel

Hi Sam

No I have not screwed the brackets to the keel thing.

Going to glue the ends on today, hope to post a photo 😀.

 

Thank you all for the likes.

Then you would be .......                                                                                                                     in trouble

 

If you haven't read up on your planking. It might be a good idea not to tally any longer ... if you do not know the knowledge db then that is a good place to start. The link will take you straight to the docs for framing and planking. It's nice to be prepared ... Until you've reached the point of no return, you can always change your mind about the colour ... usually you are far beyond it when you find out what colour you want - just pullin' yer leg

keel is nice and straight

Hello Sam

I clamped the keel on the table top, I put some thin plastic on the bottom and top so the glue did not stick to the table top and clamp.

Hi again

Problem according to the plan part 16 just down from the top (see photo and the line) it should be level.

 

My next step says to assemble the frames so they fit without gluing then put 3 strips of wood across the top of the frames to see if they are high or low.

Do I do this first and see if frame 16 lines up or not, or should I file frame 16 down first.

 

Hope you understand what I am saying.

Hello my friends.

 

I have dry fitted (I think that is what you call it) the frames all but the last one, that one I will leave till I have put the wooden strips on.

 

Sorry that frame 10 is a bit leaning over ☹️ not a lot for it to hang onto.

 

Jo.

Very good start, Jo, and do not worry, everything is possible to achieve. It is important "to want" and enjoy what we do. Keep it up.

I am glad that another woman is here and build ship models. Great!!

👍

Well, the czech language suffers a little with google translate and please ignore the software piracy bit............

 

But, we can all create brilliant models, and I fully agree with Doris that gender is irrelevant  when it comes to pretty much everything.

FYI, I'm stealing your awesome stand idea for my next build. Thank you. 😊

 

Keep up the great job.

Jo,

This is your build, example I personally do not like the copper plates on a new build I think its (gauche) new word for the day and I am in the minority with that opinion.

 

All advice on this site is well meant when it comes to laying on some paint do what YOU feel is best and gives you that warm fuzzy feeling every time you look at it. Whether it be natural, historically correct, or your combination of color that may include polka dots.:)

    The next time you need to put screws in by hand, just remember to pre-drill a hole slightly smaller than the screw and coat the screw with a lubricant like wax or even bar soap.  In the states we have a product called screw ease that comes in a metal tube which is specifically made for this, any hardware store would probably have a similar product.  The screw can be driven with much less effort and as an added benefit the screw can more easily be removed if necessary.

Hello Doris

Thank you for looking in on my log and for the encouragement.

Also the link.

I am very excited about my build, yes I will make mistakes but it will be fun trying to fix them.

 

I have visited your log and wow you are a master builder.

I will never achieve the skill you have.

 

Yes I agree we need more woman on the forum.

I promise you it will never be painted with polka dots or will it 🤣.

May be a nice shade of PINK 😉.

Jo,

this chart will help you determine the correct pilot drill for the screw you are using. I am assuming you are using “jobber” type bits; regular every day drill bits from the hardware store not special tapered bits. Use the column that says straight bit. You can buy tapered bits later. https://www.boltdepot.com/fastener-information/wood-screws/Wood-Screw-Pilot-Hole-Size.aspx

another way to choose a bit and I what I have done in the field is to eyeball the drill bit to the minor dimension of the screw threads. I am st work right now (shhhh don’t tell anybody) I’ll try to post you a picture of what I mean when I get home. 

And what the others said about soap/candle wax to lubricate you threads.
