Rustyj Posted October 28, 2022 Author Share #485 Posted October 28, 2022 Thanks Vlad! This will be the last post for about two weeks. We leave tomorrow for a vacation in the San Diego area. I've added the eye bolts, spanshackles and chimney cover boards. With chapter 9 completed now I've started chapter 10. As I'm leaving very soon I figured I do the hatches instead of starting on the planking. I'll see you all in a couple of weeks. Behave while I'm away! 😂 hollowneck, scrubbyj427, Nunnehi (Don) and 16 others 19 Rusty "So Long For Now" Current Builds: Speedwell Completed Build Logs: HMS Winchelsea 1/48 Duchess of Kingston USF Confederacy , US Brig Syren , Triton Cross Section , Bomb Vessel Cross Section, Cutter Cheerful, Queen Anne Barge, Medway Longboat Completed Build Gallery: Brig Syren , 1870 Mississippi Riverboat , 1949 Chris-Craft 19' Runabout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustyj Posted November 18, 2022 Author Share #490 Posted November 18, 2022 Hi all, Well the trip was wonderful, it's over and back to work. Progress has continued on chapter 10 with the quarter deck hatches placed and the deck planked. Pretty much a repeat of the fcastle. A lot of dust to clean up and paint to touch up though.

Rustyj Posted November 23, 2022 Author Share #492 Posted November 23, 2022 Thank you Glenn. I chose each plank carefully trying to get ones close to the same color, sanded them and thought they were very close. I applied the WOP and boom the absorption as different for various planks causing both light and darker planks. Oh well I tried. Also thanks all for the likes.

Stuntflyer Posted November 23, 2022 Share #493 Posted November 23, 2022 Hi Rusty, I had the same thing going on with my gun deck planking. I don't think it's absorption that's causing the variance in color, but rather the planks being of a different color to begin with. The degree of color difference would be difficult to see whether you sand the wood or not. The only way I know off to get around this is too apply some W-O-P to the planks before you put them on the ship.

scrubbyj427 Posted November 23, 2022 Share #495 Posted November 23, 2022 (edited) Rusty, you could also wipe them with alcohol which will reveal the color of the wood with WOP applied, the alcohol will evaporate quickly and not harm the wood. Nevertheless, your choice of wood and the finished colors of your deck look great!

Thistle17 Posted November 27, 2022 Share #497 Posted November 27, 2022 In touring the Stickley furniture factory, sometime back, it was related that in the finishing stage they apply a translucent base (in the case I saw it was on the order of an orange color on cherry). This tended to "flatten" the color variation across the surface. This can even be evident in the boards of the same tree. I am keeping my ripped AYC for planking from the same blank together to minimize the problem. It was evident on my Cheerful. But I am sure you folk know that. The "wetting" method given is indeed a good idea. Joe FrankWouts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe, be careful of doing that as an answer to the problem. There can be huge variations in color within a given sheet, some of which are not that visible. Just place all the strips flat on a table, edge to edge, and then W-O-P all the sheets to see what you've got. I usually hold the strips together with long pieces of tape. A straight edge at both ends holds things down.

I could see color changes from sheet to sheet and from one end of a strip to the other. They were sorted by color variation, marked and I still came up with differences in color. Next time I'll go the one step further and wipe them down with WOP or alcohol and see how that works. Then again 15 years from now I'll probably not see much variation as the wood ages.

Thistle17 Posted November 28, 2022 Share #500 Posted November 28, 2022 Thanks Mike I will take the added step. And Rusty I took a look at my Cheerful again this AM and three of the starboard planks which were a tad dark seemed to have darkened even more.The model is now about 3 years old.

Rustyj Posted December 1, 2022 Author Share #503 Posted December 1, 2022 Thanks Ben. Not a big deal. Just a little irritating when you think you've selected better. I built the ships wheel, binnacle and breastrail per Chuck's direction and placed them in their correct locations as well as the already completed capstan. Just take your time and follow the directions and all will be fine. I still have to add the pawls to the capstan and the companionway railings. I'm still toying with adding the rope to the ships wheel. I'll probably add some to see how it looks and decide from there. glbarlow, hollowneck, FrankWouts and 11 others 11 3 Rusty "So Long For Now" Current Builds: Speedwell Completed Build Logs: HMS Winchelsea 1/48 Duchess of Kingston USF Confederacy , US Brig Syren , Triton Cross Section , Bomb Vessel Cross Section, Cutter Cheerful, Queen Anne Barge, Medway Longboat Completed Build Gallery: Brig Syren , 1870 Mississippi Riverboat , 1949 Chris-Craft 19' Runabout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glbarlow Posted December 1, 2022 Share #504 Posted December 1, 2022 Not that I’m anywhere close, but I have the same thought about rope on the ships wheel. I know it would look good, but so would breech ropes on cannons and I’m not doing that. My current thinking is rope free is rope free. But who know when I get to this point sometime this decade.

Rustyj Posted December 4, 2022 Author Share #508 Posted December 4, 2022 Chapter 12 part have been ordered and progress continues on chapter 10. In this portion I was assembling the companionway railings and the first sections of the quarter deck fancy rails. The companionway railings were turned and shaped using files. The quarter deck rails were all laser cut by Syren. The first thing I did was start cleaning up the parts and lay them out to see how they compare to the layout of my model. After confirming that I was in good shape I started assembling the rails. After assembling each section I test fit them adjusted as needed and then painted them. The two sections port and starboard were then permanently glued in place. Also, the companionway railings were finished at this time too. iosto, glbarlow, Trussben and 17 others 20 Rusty "So Long For Now" Current Builds: Speedwell Completed Build Logs: HMS Winchelsea 1/48 Duchess of Kingston USF Confederacy , US Brig Syren , Triton Cross Section , Bomb Vessel Cross Section, Cutter Cheerful, Queen Anne Barge, Medway Longboat Completed Build Gallery: Brig Syren , 1870 Mississippi Riverboat , 1949 Chris-Craft 19' Runabout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
