USS Hannah by GrandpaPhil - FINISHED - 1/72 - Card - from Hahn Plans


Recommended Posts

Looks great Phil, is the second planking similar to a self adhesive vinyl paper?

Will any multi purpose filler work as spackling in the UK is nearly £30 a tub?

Edward,

  Thank you very much!  
 

  The second planking is self adhesive vinyl.  I would think any filler would work.  I have used drywall mud and other fillers on models before, with success.

First side has a second planking (read covering):

It’s a little rough, but it’ll look better soon!

Make sure you seal the vinyl with a good sealant.  I typically use Mod Podge or Delta Ceramcoat Sealer.  Otherwise, there can be issues with the paint adhering well.

The port side went on neater than the starboard.  I think I was a little out of practice, lol.

The next step is sealing that and planking the deck!

Thank you both!  I just finished the other side and sealed it.  Everything will look much better once I get some painting done.

 

I finished planking the aft deck.B15CFBBC-79F1-4943-8FC0-5046587FA9BC.thumb.jpeg.92b3ee5cd249b545b7f010a5613f0144.jpeg

 

I planked the entire Prince de Neufchatel, painted it and coppered the hull over a four day weekend, so I was trying to figure out what the difference was, because this is my second weekend since I finished the first layer of “planking”.  Then I realized that I did the work on the Prince de Neufchatel literally during a blizzard when I was snowed in, and not in the middle of the summer when I have stuff to do, lol.  It’s amazing to consider the effects of the seasons.

Which means the entire deck is now planked:

I added a couple trim pieces:

Next step is to seal the deck and cut out the scuppers.

Then I’ll add the gunport frames and paint the hull.

The scuppers are now done:

Because I used that hought board which fuzzes, I sealed the inside of the scuppers using a dental pick to apply sealant.

 

In the painting from the US Navy’s History and Heritage Command, there are ribs on the insides of the bulwarks, so I am going to incorporate those prior to attaching the cap rails, which will go on prior to the initial painting.

By inspection, I am going to call these 3/32” wide, spaced 3/8” apart:

I have installed the ribbing on the starboard side.  They ended up 1/16” wide, but the 3/8” spacing stayed, for the most part.

I measured off the framing for the transom/transom rail.

The painting is different from the Hahn plans, but I like the look of the stern better, and since Hahn created his plans of the Hannah based on conjecture...

I do believe that I will make my stern look like this.

I am working on the cap rails:

F5CD3FD5-9E94-43D3-9DBE-3A0BEAB5E4BC.thumb.jpeg.19846615a60e030869c1977dad2e4fc6.jpeg1C271D50-8C8C-4165-8DFC-4D8EFA564D20.thumb.jpeg.554770575d5478c9c3152add129b7e2f.jpeg
 

For anyone who is new and would like to learn to make cap rails, and I used to hate making them, the trick is to flip the model over and trace the bulwarks.  After you get the profile from the bulwarks, add a little bit on the outside, so it overhangs just a smidge and make the inside line such that it overhangs just a smidge on the inside.  It is very quick and very easy this way.

 

For me, my bulwarks are approximately 1/8” thick.  I wanted a 1/16” overhang on both sides so I could trim at will.

 

I traced my bulwarks and added 1/16” to the outside and 3/16” to the inside.  Then I cut it out and made it double thickness.

 

When I got ready to glue them down, I used the trial and error method to get my exact contours during the dry fit stage.  Once they fit perfectly, I glued them down.

 

I don’t bother trying to edge bend wood to get a cap rail, even on wooden models.  I trace it from my bulwarks and cut it to shape.  It is much easier and avoids the splitting issues and the resultant profanity that edge bending usually causes for me.

While waiting for my bulwarks to dry,

I started working on the transom (I promise that painting will happen in the near future).

I knocked down the transom about 1/16” to make the gap that can be seen in that painting.

Hi Phil,

Good tutorial on the capping rails.

Have been using this method on wooden kits ever since a kit instructions told me to edge bend

2 x 12 mm walnut.     

I cut and scarf joint extra wide strip of the required thickness to follow the rail plan curve

then mark the bulwark line and width as your instructions.

This approach lets you follow the grain around the bow portions and give a more realistic finish.

 

This is really starting to look good.

Keep up the good work.

 

Sam

Yes, the gun carriages will be made of card.  I’ll use the exact same method I used for the Victory and the Prince de Neufchatel.
