DPK Posted June 21, 2019 Share #32 Posted June 21, 2019 (edited) Looks almost OK to me. But I think it is not yet completely in place: look at the upper line of the top timbers transiting into the latrine door. It should be "jagged smooth". Have a look at the photos in the instruction!

Peta_V Posted June 21, 2019 Author Share #33 Posted June 21, 2019 I see what you mean, loks like I glued the last timber little bit lower. But that should not be a big issue I hope. I can put there piece of plywood in case it will be necessary. Thanks for the note! Progressing with the stern. This one was tricky to fix the correct bended shape. I love how the pear wood works together with Black wood.

Hi Etsinko, Thanks fot the comment. I'm sure you will enjoy the build same as I do! And I'm looking forward to your building log! 🧐 Here I made a comparison with my Royal Caroline. It is different scale of course but it shows how small "cute" AVOS going to be.

It just fits so well without any glue or any fixing jig. Great work from designers really!! btw are you one of them? Or did you already build AVOS? Just asking that you know the process............ thanks PetaV Quote Current builds: Tender AVOS - Master Korabel HMS Royal Caroline - Panart HMS Triton - Cross section Completed: HMS Victory - Revell HMS Bounty - Revell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPK Posted June 24, 2019 Share #38 Posted June 24, 2019 Well, I took part in the design, so I know the process. Btw, if there is anything that is unclear in the instruction, you are very welcome to tell. This kit's instruction worked out to be much clearer than the previous one's, but there is always a room for improvement.

You guys created truly master piece. I agree, the instructions are OK and easy to follow so far. The only thing I found so far is wrong numbering in one paragraph in text instructions. I believe instead of A29 should be A59 as A29 is different part used during stern construction. It is OK in photo book as well as in list of parts but one can easily figure this out. I have the text version from May 2019 so I believe up to date?

DPK Posted June 24, 2019 Share #40 Posted June 24, 2019 Thank you very much, you are quite right. It is a misprint: should be A59. Yes, the text is up to date. The photo instruction is better to be used downloaded from the site (it has more explanations and several small numbers corrections, although nothing critical if being careful).

Peta_V Posted June 24, 2019 Author Share #42 Posted June 24, 2019 Deck preparation. The deck is made from one piece with laser engraved planking. The base of the deck is some lower quality wood on which is pear veneer. Several reinforcements has to be glued in to shape the correct curvature of the deck and support the deck furniture. coxswain, riverboat, Dutchman and 7 others 10 Quote Current builds: Tender AVOS - Master Korabel HMS Royal Caroline - Panart HMS Triton - Cross section Completed: HMS Victory - Revell HMS Bounty - Revell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peta_V Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share #44 Posted June 25, 2019 During the night I have complete left side of the bow. I do not have an experience with the POF scratch build but from the builds I see here the Construction is somehow similar (much more simple but some elements are close I think) So a good practice to move level up I Just dry fited few pairs of the next ribs and the shape is awesome....

Peta_V Posted June 28, 2019 Author Share #51 Posted June 28, 2019 Hi Nils, thank you. I started with planking. Deck is glued and also inner planking.

DPK Posted June 29, 2019 Share #52 Posted June 29, 2019 I have a feeling that the whole inner planking went a little too high. Could you please check the size of the gap between the planking and the deck? It should be completely covered by the waterways (1.5 mm thick). If the gap is too large (hope it is ok), I think the easiest way is to raise the edges of the deck in proper places a little.

Peta_V Posted June 29, 2019 Author Share #53 Posted June 29, 2019 I believe it is ok. 1,5 should be enough to cover that gap but will double check that.

Peta_V Posted June 29, 2019 Author Share #54 Posted June 29, 2019 Yep, the gap is less than 1mm on its entire lenght so There should not be an issue covering it. I think the camera made it look bigger.
