EKE Posted September 30, 2020 Author Share #32 Posted September 30, 2020 I've been looking at historical precedents on the Zulu, and I'm considering painting the topsides above the boot stripe black. This seems to be the nearly ubiquitous color scheme, almost universally indicative of the type. Here's a few photos I've found: So I think I'm going to try to make her look like this. Will need to do a bit more research to see where the paint actually should stop at the top of the bulwarks. Also need to decide what paint to use... the images of Zulus I've seen suggest a flat or satin finish. I'll be doing a white boot stripe, and the red oxide bottom paint as shown in the photos provided by Chris and James. Ryland Craze, yvesvidal, BobG and 1 other 4 Quote Erik K.

BobG Posted September 30, 2020 Share #33 Posted September 30, 2020 I'm enjoying watching you do a fine job on this wonderful model, Erik. I have this model also and it's on the shelf with several others. I'll be following along closely. EKE 1 Quote Bob Garcia "Measure once, cuss twice!"

James H Posted October 1, 2020 Share #37 Posted October 1, 2020 I think it's fair to say it should be black, or even a bottle green (sure I read that somewhere).

Blue Ensign Posted October 2, 2020 Share #41 Posted October 2, 2020 Your planking looks very good Eric, and will provide an excellent base for the Pearwood. One piece of advice I would offer is to ensure that on completion of the first planking you fine down the plank ends at the bow and stern to be flush or even slightly below the stem and stern posts. It is useful to use the Pearwood stem and stern patterns temporarily in place to check progress, and see how the pearwood planking will fit. It is much easier to sand the limewood than the Pearwood, and the object is to avoid at all costs a ridge running down the stem and stern lines. Regards, B.E.

EKE Posted October 2, 2020 Author Share #42 Posted October 2, 2020 Thanks so much, BE. I so appreciate the advice. Understood...I was thinking that when the first planking is complete, I’d do a final trim of the planks against the posts with a razor blade, and then sand the plank thickness down with a sanding block in those areas. Your model of Muirneag is coming along so beautifully... it’s inspiring to me to have a build by an experienced modeler to check in on! -EKE Quote Erik K.

EKE Posted October 5, 2020 Author Share #43 Posted October 5, 2020 First planking is complete! I’m feeling a little bit proud of myself having groped my way through my first ship planking endeavor. I had to install a few wedge-shaped stealers as the planking approached the garboard, at both bow and stern, as the curvature really changes as you work your way down. But it all came together pretty well. And here is the hull after an initial sanding. I started with a stiff foam sanding stick with 120 grit, and moved on to 220 sandpaper.

EKE Posted October 5, 2020 Author Share #44 Posted October 5, 2020 A few more photos of the sanded hull. I have to say again how pretty I think the shape of the Zulu is, and the planking here really shows it off. I’m kind of sad I have to cover up this all this work, but again, it’s all about the journey. The consolation is that, with some luck, it will have another layer that will be even prettier.

EKE Posted October 5, 2020 Author Share #45 Posted October 5, 2020 One last detail in this report: At Blue Ensign’s suggestion, I’m taking special care to make sure the first planking at the stem is trimmed down and sanded thin enough to allow the second planking to seat properly in the stem rabbets. The rabbets are formed by side pieces of pearwood which sandwich the stem, as well as the keel and rudder post. Those will be added next. Here I’m checking the fit of one of the stem side pieces. It seems that I’m in pretty good shape here with the ends of the first planks... perhaps a bit of fine tuning to go. PerMarePer Terram, James H, Jonny 007 and 7 others 10 Quote Erik K.

EKE Posted October 5, 2020 Author Share #47 Posted October 5, 2020 As an aside, during a pause in construction (), I have been doing some online research on the Zulu type. I came across these vintage drawings on the Greenwich Maritime Museum website. They are design drawings of the Zulu Fidelity (BF1479), launched in 1904. Beautiful draftsmanship, and it seems to me typical of design documents of the era. It's interesting to look at the interior elevations in the longitudinal section, and to imagine what the saloon of this boat must have been like. Also fascinating is the way the mast trunk and step accommodated the lowering and storing of the main mast. Adjacent to the mast step in the section is a small detail showing the plan of the mast trunk as three sided, and open facing aft, so that the mast can be raked aftward and laid down. The section also shows the tip of the mast seating down into a pocket in the mast step. I'm wondering how they would have raised the mast up out of the socket in order to stow it. Maybe that wasn't necessary...perhaps it was designed to simply rock backwards out of the socket. The deck plan and the rigging of BF1479 Fidelity shown here are very close to Lady Isabella. Chris, I'm wondering if these drawings were among your source material for the design? BobG, Ryland Craze and Keithbrad80 3 Quote Erik K.

Question for you Jim, regarding your technique for the second planking. You have said you used CA gel to attach the planks, and you described placing spots of CA periodically along the back of the plank, and progressively pressing and holding the plank into position while the gel sets. What about the edges of the plank? Are you gluing the edge of the new plank to the edge of the last one? Rik Thistle 1 Quote Erik K.

I can't see the point as the planks won't be moving anywhere. I do bevel the edges of the planks to make them sit as close as possible to the previous.

EKE Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share #58 Posted October 9, 2020 Quick update: Been very busy with work this week, but I did install the stem, keel and rudder post facing parts. They are laser cut pearwood, and sandwich the stem, keel and post creating a nice rabbet to accept the ends of the second planking. It’s a great detail, I think. You can’t really screw this up, because Chris had designed it with little flat biscuits which fit into slots laser cut into the facing pieces. So the correct alignment is ensured. All this fits together perfectly. I glued them in with PVA white glue, and clamped them to ensure they were properly laminated to the core pieces. Below are a couple of shots after the glue had dried and the clamps were removed. The facing pieces for the rudder post create sockets that the tongues of the rudder fit into. In the photo below I’ve tested the rudder’s fit. Perfecto. The shape of the rudder is very elegant, and the overall form of the hull is completed beautifully with it in place. On to the second planking this weekend! Jonny 007, BobG, VTHokiEE and 3 others 6 Quote Erik K.
