jks1981 Posted November 5, 2020 Author #6 Posted November 5, 2020 Done with hull painting. I purposely didn’t add any filler to the hull so individual planks would show through the paint.

jks1981 Posted November 26, 2020 Author #10 Posted November 26, 2020 Hi Scott. Thanks for the comments, I'm still plugging away at the gun port framing... Are you planning on starting the Hermione soon? Keep me posted if you start a build log, would love to follow it. This site is so helpful.

S.Coleman Posted November 27, 2020 #13 Posted November 27, 2020 Lining gunports can be very tedious. Looks like a brilliant job. Nice work. The paint job has come out superb. jks1981 1 Quote Regards, Scott Current build: 1:75 Friesland, Mamoli Completed builds: 1:64 Rattlesnake, Mamoli - 1:64 HMS Bounty, Mamoli - 1:54 Adventure, Amati - 1:80 King of the Mississippi, AL 1:64 Blue Shadow, Mamoli - 1:64 Leida Dutch pleasure boat, Corel - 1:60 HMS President Mantra, Sergal Awaiting construction: 1:89 Hermione La Fayette AL - 1:48 Perserverance, Modelers shipyard
jks1981 Posted November 29, 2020 Author #14 Posted November 29, 2020 Thanks Scott - Cutting out and trimming the gun ports has definitely been the toughest part so far!

PeterB010 Posted January 31, 2021 #20 Posted January 31, 2021 Hi James, Great job. I can see you have a steady hand with painting cap rails. Tip, Check the set of stairs that came with the AL kit. When I wanted to assemble my stairs I found that the stringers had uneven saw cuts. This resulted in a spiral staircase that just didn't look right. I ordered a set of stairs from Amati, which were really a lot nicer than the ones from Artesania Latina. Regards Peter Quote
jks1981 Posted February 2, 2021 Author #21 Posted February 2, 2021 Thanks for the heads up Peter! I'll check the stairs that came in my kit. I'm also running into the issue where the cap rails on the bow don't even come close to fitting. I saw on your build log you had the same problem and had to make them from scratch...guess I will be doing the same.

PeterB010 Posted February 2, 2021 #22 Posted February 2, 2021 Hi James, The cap rails I made from scrap are following the curve of the bow much better then the cap rails that came with the kit. There a lot of flaws in the design of the Hermione that can be very frustrating. But, if you can solve them the result will be rewarding. Peter Quote
jks1981 Posted February 3, 2021 Author #23 Posted February 3, 2021 Here’s where I ended up with it. Just used leftover rail that was already profiled and painted. Not exactly what they are supposed to look like, but close enough.

PeterB010 Posted February 5, 2021 #24 Posted February 5, 2021 Hi James, This looks great, but is the cap rail on starboard side not a little bit to short? When assembling the bowsprit, the cap rail should almost connect to it. Peter Quote
jks1981 Posted February 9, 2021 Author #25 Posted February 9, 2021 It’s actually a bit of an illusion in the photo, I haven’t trimmed down the top plank yet, so once I do the bowsprit should drop down into place. Good eye though, feel free to point out anything else that looks off!
