DocRob Posted June 6, 2022 #301 Posted June 6, 2022 2 hours ago, Vane said: Moving on to the ships boat... this is abit tricky but I think I am through the worst part... first couple of planks. Now it is stable and just keep adding pieces to it! I feel with you Vane, as I'm building a boat for my Duchess of Kingston at the moment. It's a tedious affair for a novice like me and the first planks were not the most difficult. I feared the step of removing the frames, but it worked out good, without destroying the hull. I used PVA for the planks in places, where the frames will be removed and CA on the other parts of the planks.

James H Posted June 7, 2022 #304 Posted June 7, 2022 The first time I broke out the MDF frames, I was more than a little wary. Actually, just go gently and it'll be fine. My suggestion is to snip away the bridge between the two halves and twist each side out separately. Oldsalt1950, Glenn-UK, Ryland Craze and 1 other 4 Quote SAY NO TO PIRACY.

Vane Posted June 8, 2022 Author #305 Posted June 8, 2022 Thanks for the advice, I managed to do the hard part without breaking it. The worst was to get rid of all CA glue. I decided to deviate from the instructions and add the top rail before removing the frames to get a more solid structure. Its hard work but I do think this piece will really add to the finish of the model.

Vane Posted June 17, 2022 Author #314 Posted June 17, 2022 I realized that I have now completed the building phase of the model and reached page 48 of 54 in the manual. No more cutting wood, sanding, painting nor gluing parts. All what is left to do has been organized into this box. I have no clue how long time it will take to tie all the blocks and rig Speedy but it feels good to have completed this stage of the build. I will try to take some proper photos of how the ship looks like and post them in the next post. Thanks for all the nice comments and support so far. robdurant, Edwardkenway, Seventynet and 16 others 19 Quote Current builds: HMS Victory (Corel 1:98), HMS Snake (Caldercraft 1:64), HMBV Granado (Caldercraft 1:64), HMS Diana (Caldercraft 1:64), HMS Speedy (Vanguard Models 1:64)
AlanDavison Posted June 19, 2022 #315 Posted June 19, 2022 Lovely looking model so far. Congratulations I may be wrong but I believe the boat oars were stowed with all paddles facing the same way. No doubt the experts out there will confirm Vane 1 Quote
