Trussben Posted June 29, 2021 Author #93 Posted June 29, 2021 (edited) Hey Jeff, Great to see you still around, Holly is great that I got off you, wish I could get some more of that really pink Swiss pear though, last piece of pear I bought is very nice with straight grain, but it’s not pink at all.

Trussben Posted July 17, 2021 Author #98 Posted July 17, 2021 It’s called a frame reveal, used to simulate what the real ships framing would look like when building a POB model.

Boatsinc2000 Posted July 19, 2021 #99 Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) Ben, Somehow I missed your reply. I milled all of my pear before the move with alot of it going into a Naiad package. Hope I have a chance to do that build. Seems like it was getting harder and harder to find good pear. I collected what you purchased over a couple years of cherry picking. Your piece looks really good to me! Really like your reveal. Picked up some wonderful ideas from your log. Thanks for doing it. Keep up the great work.

Trussben Posted August 27, 2021 Author #110 Posted August 27, 2021 Thanks Dave, Dont get much modeling time these days, but after I get the hull planking on Winnie completed, I hope to switch back to Pegasus and finish the main deck framing.

Trussben Posted September 12, 2021 Author #112 Posted September 12, 2021 (edited) Lower Planking has finally been completed and 1st sanding to 220grit, I just added the stern post and will now sand everything to 400grit and apply some WOP. I'm Pretty happy overall with how it came out, there were a few issues around the tuck of the counter, the flow up the bow came out Ok and the Frame reveal is as I had planned it. I don't know if I would use Holly again for an entire hull as its damn expensive these days ( more than boxwood $$$$ ) but I like the color and it looks even better in natural light with a good contrast to the wales. That's the end of Chapter 2. Ben Edited September 12, 2021 by Trussben druxey, Matt D, PRS and 19 others 19 3 Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM. HMS Winchelsea.

Folks who are not building the winnie should know that this hull is so much bigger than it appears in photos. That is quite a achievement on a hull that size.

BobG Posted September 12, 2021 #119 Posted September 12, 2021 Stunningly beautiful, Ben! Looks like perfection to me! How did you secure the thread when you lined off the hull? Did you use a tiny dab of white glue or CA on each bulkhead? Did you find that the 1/64 graphic tape was a better option? FrankWouts 1 Bob Garcia "Measure once, cuss twice!"

Trussben Posted September 12, 2021 Author #120 Posted September 12, 2021 Hey Bob, Correct, I used a little dab of white glue to secure the string. The tape was ok but it had a tendency to lift off so I ended up using a dab on that too. BobG and FrankWouts 2 Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM. HMS Winchelsea.
