Sjors Posted March 2, 2013 Author #126 Posted March 2, 2013 Beside all the fun we have there is also building time. So I work on the bow. I have to see if I can make some decals for the side. I try it with paint but that was looking bad…... So paint it black again. I'm also not happy with the gratings but for now it has to be it this way. When I make all the gratings I have to see what I have left and then change it. Then of course a few pictures.

wim500 Posted March 2, 2013 #127 Posted March 2, 2013 Sjors, luckily next to chatting you found some time to build . Nice progress again. If you're not satisfied with the gratings, replace them before continueing with the bowsprit.

rdsaplala Posted March 2, 2013 #128 Posted March 2, 2013 Splendid work Sjors, those head rails can be really tricky to work on, and you've done and excellent job on them I'm going really slow on my ship, just to postpone working in this tricky portion Best regards,AldoCurrently Building: HMS Pegasus (Victory Models)-Mothballed to give priority to Triton HMS Triton (first attempt at scratchbuilding) Past build:HM Brig Badger (Caldercraft), HM Brig Cruizer, HM Schooner Ballahoo

gjdale Posted March 2, 2013 #130 Posted March 2, 2013 Sjors, Nice work on the head. If you're not happy with the gratings, then re-do them now, before you add any more detail - it'll only be more difficult to do later on. Oh, and I prefer your avatar with your bus!

augie Posted March 2, 2013 #131 Posted March 2, 2013 That head area has a lot of detail. And the head rails are very impressive. As previously suggested, now would be a good time to make any changes to the gratings. It's really going to get 'busy' up there when the bowsprit comes in. Well done, my friend.

Sjors Posted March 2, 2013 Author #132 Posted March 2, 2013 Hi all and thanks , @ Wim, I re-place the gratings before the bowsprit goes on it. @Aldo, It was really tricky to get those head rails on. I said a few words like #^%$@&(*%^$# But they are on now. Don't rush with Peggy, she comes together! @ Patrick, I'll do my best….. @ Grant, I re-place the gratings but first I have to see how many are left when I have done the other gratings. Before I go further on the bow, it will be done. And for you I change the avatar. I see that you can use the animaatjes?

Sjors Posted March 2, 2013 Author #135 Posted March 2, 2013 Glad that I can make you happy with a bus Augie @ Garward, Thanks for dropping in. I want to put decals on the side of the head rails. I try to paint it with a gold colour but it looks if I'm drunk…... I have to ask Popeye what he is using for his decals.

Garward Posted March 2, 2013 #136 Posted March 2, 2013 Recipe simple: if you want to receive good coloring on model, don't apply glossy and semi-glossy paints and varnishes .

Sjors Posted March 2, 2013 Author #137 Posted March 2, 2013 If I understand you right then it was not a good idea to put varnish on the paint….. Even it is clear varnish……. It is better to paint it again with matt black paint?

Garward Posted March 2, 2013 #138 Posted March 2, 2013 The varnish can be used and many modellers use it, but a varnish matt or semi-matt. Shine of a glossy varnish can be reduced a little, having slightly ground a surface a fine-grained emery paper and to wipe then a surface fabric.

trippwj Posted March 2, 2013 #140 Posted March 2, 2013 Sir - She is looking sharp, Sjors. I like the head rails as well. Have your thought about using styrene for the trim (does it need to stick out) or is it just decoration (painted/decals)? Have a great day!

Sjors Posted March 2, 2013 Author #141 Posted March 2, 2013 Hi Wayne, And Sir ??????? Thanks for the good words Styrene…I'll never thought of it …….and don't know what that is It may stick out a little. That's no problem.

Garward Posted March 2, 2013 #143 Posted March 2, 2013 Styrene is a plastic, it is better to make a decor of a brass wire or a thin foil.
