Bob Cleek Posted February 8, 2020 #62 Posted February 8, 2020 On 2/5/2020 at 6:44 PM, Roger Pellett said: Tomorrow I’ll shellac it but am concerned that the alcohol in the shellac might attack the PVA glue bond. Shellac, applied to the back of the paper, should cause the paper to adhere well to just about any surface. mtaylor, Moab and Roger Pellett 3
Kevin Kenny Posted February 10, 2020 Author #63 Posted February 10, 2020 Roger i am not going to show the plates on this one maybe when i build the plank on frame i will reconsider. In the mean time i will do some experimentation like you are doing. On another note I got this book on marine steam engines. Should be interesting reading over the next month. I am still fighting up to find the exact design for the boiler and fire box. Moab, GrandpaPhil and mtaylor 3
Kevin Kenny Posted February 10, 2020 Author #64 Posted February 10, 2020 I had a rough time with the imperfections of the bottom. Different surfaces, wood, glue, glaze putty, Bondo filler, scratches etc. finally got it to an acceptable level. Will sand and apply 3 more coats then mask to put the sides in white.

Roger Pellett Posted February 11, 2020 #68 Posted February 11, 2020 Kevin, Thanks for posting this! That guy has a steadier hand, stronger grip, and more confidence than I have. Never less, it is interesting to see how other modelers have solved similar problems. Paper plating so far looks promising and I am anxious to experiment with shellac. Unfortunately it is tax season here in the states and the little time that I have to spend in the shop has been spent building a glass case for my longboat model. Your model is looking great.
