So, business and family earthquake seems to be done, and regular day time approach to my life again.

 

For birthday from family I have got nice complete of acrylic colors and couple of nice thin paintbrushes, so there is a little playing in front of me next days

Grabbed some time before "Game Of Thrones" and start with final sanding and painting of decks. Works started on aft deck with sandpaper 220 and 280, then little color correction. Next is sandpaper 400 and final coloring as on earlier test

 

But, first must sanding main and fore decks before coloring, to assume all decks to have same color

 

Here are pictures, but I am not so sure that it can be seen smoothness I have got with sanding aft deck

Maybe I can patent this method of errors discovering ?

I think I found new (?) way to fill "trenches" between planks on decks which have to be painted, more tomorrow when sit on PC and make some pictures.

 

Idea came from watching how ceramic tiles on floor/wall are mounted (method of filling joints of tiles)

In Serbia, it is tradition to make some barbecue on May 1st, so ... I drink a bit too much beer during barbecue works, and eat a bit too much for lunch, and ... sleeeeeep a bit to much after.....

 

At the afternoon, I found that Hothead has occupied my work space and there was no progress with CS. He/we was/were making some wooden box for his studio

So, here is my "wooden mud" method of filling "trenches" between planks and finishing deck planking

 

Sanding is done with very light preasure with little piece of sandpaper catched in medical pean, applied particulary on places where veneer strips are little ubder surface


Sand with 150. dont clean dust, then  "cover" with light acrylic and let it dry. Then sand with 220, cover, dry, again with 280. cover, dry.

 

Two effects are there: first - "wooden mud" made of acrylic and sand dust stay in trenches and permanently fill them, become plastic when dry.

 

Second, better sanding. I remembered time when I have got my first job in small carpenter company, and from workers I learned - if you wish maximum of sanding, get surface wet, wait until dry and then sand.I applied this lesson long ago when I was making beds for children from solid wood, and it works , so, why it didnt work heere ?

 

After that sand again with 220. 280 and 400 without further acrylic covering . At the end, there are not trenches any more, caulking is visible, and whole decking is nice and smoth.

Here is first mud on main deck after 150 granulation sanding 

post-4738-0-33838700-1399133093_thumb.jpg

and here is fore deck after last mud before final sanding

Thank you David. When I saw results, just start thinking about another step into "dark side" - about weathering whole model...

I must talk about with myself and with Her Majesty, is She rather be a playful nice girl or proud ancient lady ...

Rising of main deck under "mod" layer. Every strip is here, every caulking between strips is visible, and deck surface is smooth

Thx all for likes and comments. Finished sanding with 220 granulation, next 280 and 400. All "trenches" filled, and start thinking about final deck colour- can I replay last experiment, will it be same, better or ... anyway, it must be transparent ... I am so delighted with succes of caulking efect, and this must be visible for everybody who will be interested to put his nose close enough throught jungle of ropes and sails, and who has good eyes to see that without opening Her future glass home

Cleaning sand dust from deck and bulwarks will be interesting. In earlier stages I learned something: if you want perfect (as perfect you are able to do) paint, there must not be any dust traces. And for now, Her Majesty is completly covered with thin layer of dust. Whole shipyard too ( I was "smart" enough just to blow dust from Her to the air ...) . Bad influence of tonight episode of Game of Thrones when son of Lysa Erin said : I want to se it/him fly ... 200W light bulb is so dusted that gives light as bulb 45W strong. Window glass is grey transparent. Coffie had wooden taste. It means that first I have to undust workspace before any painting job :( trying not to fall out throught Moon door until Gandalf send his Eagle to save me ;) Fortunately, Admiral was not downstairs long ago. If she comes down, even John Snow can not save me of her roaring.

Geoff, there will be more dust, but not today. In Orthodox calendar today is Djurdjevdan, one of the wide spread church celebration day, and almost all or have quests as hosts of their "Slava" or as quests go to family/friends who celebrate today. Today is Admirals brother Slava, and we went to meet family

More information on Wiki

" ...The "Slava" (lit. "celebration"; Serbian Cyrillic : Слава), also called Krsna Slava (Крсна Слава, "christened Slava ") and Krsno ime (Крсно име, "christened name"), is a Serbian Orthodox Church tradition of the ritual glorification of one's family's patron saint among Serbs, but also Serbs in Montenegro and Macedonia . The family celebrates the Slava annually on the saint's feast day . Unlike other major Orthodox Christian nations, i.e. Greeks , Russians , Romanians, Bulgarians , Georgians etc., Serbs do not celebrate individual name days, as when a person named after a saint would celebrate that saint's feast day , but instead they do it collectively as the name day of a certain family and/or clan. Serbs usually regard the Slava as their most significant and most solemn feast day . [1][2] The tradition of the Slava is also very well preserved among the Serbian diaspora on all 5 continents... "


 

We are atheist, but this is great opportunity to see wide family and to take nice day with them

Notice: Curvatures of caulking lines ........ camera see them, but they are not so visible with eye and from distance, and there will be lot of stuff over them, and deck will be colored and probably weathered. No way to do this third time. In next model
