Chuck Posted March 26, 2020 Share #31 Posted March 26, 2020 That looks really good. You should be very happy with that result. The color looks fantastic. If you just do a little light sanding before you use the glue it will be fine. I havent had any issues. You should absolutely apply the WOP though. At least two coats sanding between coats. Wipe off the excess and buff the second coat so it doesnt get glossy. I hope this project has been worthwhile so far and you are enjoying it. Based on your model I would say that you are!!!

CaptMorgan Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share #33 Posted April 14, 2020 Chapter 2 is now complete. I broke/ruined my fair share of planks but I think everything turned out pretty good. I preferred a little darker seams so I ran a pencil on both sides of the planks. Below are a few photos to show where we are currently. Now it is time for a small break and do a review of Chapter 3. It will be a nice change of pace from the planking for a while.... I hope everyone out there is doing good and dealing with this virus. These are indeed strange times but we will get thru it.....

Chuck Posted April 14, 2020 Share #34 Posted April 14, 2020 That looks excellent. It is shaping up to be an excellent model. Also check out the few other logs that have started chapter 3. There are some really good discussions in those that will certainly help you out.

I guess I have been slow to post anything. I didn't realize how long it had been since my last post but here a few pics of where things stand as to today. I guess the only thing I'm having an issue with are the little pieces that go above the roof and also the upper and lower parts of the pillars. No matter how many I make I don't seem to find any I like, let alone try to make 12 of them that look similar. I'll get it sooner or later... Hope things are good in your part of the world.

No matter how many I make I don't seem to find any I like, let alone try to make 12 of them that look similar. Steve, I struggled with this problem until the eureka moment arrived. Instead of trying to make 12 the same I realised that they are all different. I then used the template that Chuck provides and lined up my moulding with each template (one at a time) and carefully cut the angles. whilst my skill level is not up there with the likes of Chuck they are a lot better than all My other (too many to count) attempts. Hope this helps. Your work on the hull is outstanding. FrankWouts, CaptMorgan and Ryland Craze 3 Reg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beckmann Posted June 16, 2020 Share #43 Posted June 16, 2020 Hi Steve, that looks good! Just a little thing: The lower molding at the bow should be longer, so there is no gap to the stem. Matthias CaptMorgan and FrankWouts 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Posted June 16, 2020 Share #44 Posted June 16, 2020 Yes it looks very good indeed. Well done. And yes all of those tiny uprights for the fancy rail are different. They angle aft and that changes with each one.

CaptMorgan Posted September 6, 2020 Author Share #45 Posted September 6, 2020 Hello everyone. It's been a while since my last update so I thought I would take a little time to get that done. I finally got those window pillars done of the sides. They didn't turn out to bad - at least for me. I'm happy with them. I kind of like the blue windows. LOL I don't think I will keep them... I still have to finish up the pillars on the rear to finish that up. Then the rails on the roof to finish up Chapter 3. pjofc4, Matt D, Ryland Craze and 15 others 18 Till next time..... 😎 Steve Finished: Artesania Latina Constellation; Model Shipways USF Confederacy: Medway Longboat 1742 - Syren Ship Model Company Current Build: Syren's Winchelsea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptMorgan Posted September 11, 2020 Author Share #51 Posted September 11, 2020 Just a quick update to mark the end of Chapter 3. I admit I was not looking forward to doing the pillars and the tops & bottoms to them, along with the roof rails, but everything turned out OK -- at least for me. Now it is time to clean up the shop to get ready for Chapter 4.

CaptMorgan Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share #58 Posted July 1, 2021 (edited) I have finally finished up Chapter 4 so I thought it was time for an update. There was nothing to unusual for me but I did follow Mikes lead and kept all of the deck fittings removable. This really helped with the sanding & finishing of the deck. So now it's time to clean up the shop & do some review of Chapter 5. A whole new set of challenges...... Hopefully I'm am done making so much sawdust for a while.
