msberkman Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share #95 Posted January 2, 2015 For a few days I have been busy with lining the deck and varnishing. As you can see I attached the gratings as well; but I skiped the third one. This grating is seemed to me as the perfect one for a passage to the lower floor with a ladder. So now I am working on it. I will share the photos of this grating as soon as it finish.

msberkman Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share #96 Posted January 3, 2015 And here is the third grating... First I have built some inner reinforcements for the base. Then I attached them to the both sides of the hole. I have built the floor on the tab of the side mouldings with mahogany sticks. And finally I fixed the ladder and grating...

Artisan083 Posted January 3, 2015 Share #97 Posted January 3, 2015 Hi, I am building the same kit and will be following your posts.I have a question, in my instruction book it looks like the wood used to cover the bulwarks and the hull are different, but in your photos it looks like you used the same. My instructions just say to cover the hull starting at the bottom of the bullwarks and working down to keel with #29 and never refer to covering the bullwarks again. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robored Posted January 3, 2015 Share #98 Posted January 3, 2015 Hi I have been building this ship for a good while now and I have finally finished the base and need to move onto the rigging however I do not have any instructions for this section and I am seriously struggling to complete it, I am not sure if I am possibly lacking a set of instructions as all it says for me to do is complete the rigging and no further input. If anyone could help with where I could find instructions for this section it would be greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Doug Yes Artisan083 you are right. In the instruction book the wood seems different. But if you look at page 16 or page 18 you will notice that they are the same mahogany no29. I used no29 for both the bulwarks and the hull. The choice is yours but if you use the thinner mahogany in the bulwarks there will be a thickness difference between the bulwarks and the hull.

mtdoramike Posted January 7, 2015 Share #112 Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) Absolutely beautiful work. I built the original San Francisco from Latina, back when they supplied wood veneer strips for the hull, which was applied to a cheaper white wood planking as a second layer. If you don't mind a suggestion, In the future, sand the wood smooth first after you glue it down and once sanded, come back and nail in the nails. It will give a much nicer finish, especially since the Frisco uses the nail heads as adornment.

I didn't get satisfied with the results of the nail heads either .I though to pull all of them back and replace them with the new ones. I can do these later. Now I am thinking a new method for the nails with less effort. Thanks again, I will wait for your other advices...

msberkman Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share #119 Posted January 17, 2015 As you can see in the photos first I draw the spaces between the holes. I drilled small ones and then enlarged them about 1.5 mm dia. Finally I rounded the edges and gave the last shape.
