Trussben Posted November 23, 2021 Author #153 Posted November 23, 2021 So working on the Transom details now, it was painted cerulean blue, the ports red and the timber heads flat black. The laser etched transom moldings were cleaned of char and installed and then I installed the Counter moldings and the Frieze between them and started getting the lower counter ready for its frieze.

Trussben Posted December 6, 2021 Author #161 Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) A little more work at the stern gets me closer to finishing it up. There was a little bit of clean up needed around the lower counter and then the frieze and moldings below it were added. Also the rest of the cove pieces were installed and outer fish/dolphin figures added.

scrubbyj427 Posted December 10, 2021 #163 Posted December 10, 2021 It looks like you used laser etched moulding to cap your columns? Looks wonderful, what a great idea!

Man I wish I wasn’t such a dimwit! Remember all the laser etched moulding Chuck provided along the rails? They were intended to match the scrolls... there was plenty of extra... I didn’t even think about using them for the columns, clearly nobody else did either except Ben.

I did use the fruitwood gel stain that Chuck recommended, i just used a paintbrush to apply it not too thick, left for 5 minutes, wiped off with a clean rag and then used a dry brush to get it out of all the nooks and crannies and allowed to fully dry. Then I held them up to my hull planking to see if it matched and reapplied it as needed to get the right tone. WalrusGuy, glbarlow, Freebird and 4 others 7 Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM.

Trussben Posted January 10, 2022 Author #177 Posted January 10, 2022 Work on the bulwark planking underway - then I have to decide if I’m going to paint it and add the fancy laser cut panels for the main cabins or not. I’m not a great painter but I’m leaning towards it for this model and trying to improve that skill set too. ben rafine, FrankWouts, glbarlow and 15 others 18 Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM.
