I realize there is ton of wonderful stuff here at MSW and your time could be spent elsewhere more profitably! @shipman, do you have any build logs? I’ve tried to look into the work of the various folk who were kind enough to stop by, and I couldn't find any.

EricWilliamMarshall Posted January 24, 2021 Author #62 Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) I painted some more moldings and bent them to fit the bow. I also added couple planks in back as well. There wasn’t great surfaces for gluing those pieces so I cut notches in the ribs to support the planks.

EricWilliamMarshall Posted January 24, 2021 Author #63 Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) I made a piece for the bow (I’m not sure of the name of such a part!) but I didn’t like it so I redid it. Cut with a jeweler’s saw, filed, glued and then painted.

EricWilliamMarshall Posted January 24, 2021 Author #64 Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) At this point, after I added the remaining molding, I realized I needed to add some matching black paint.

EricWilliamMarshall Posted January 25, 2021 Author #69 Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) I spent some time working on the 'outside' while I dig up some of the recommended wire for the interior. I added tape for painting the stripes and picked some colors. I had a minor set back. I had some bleed through and I didn't like the stripping once viewed on the boat. I used an #11 blade to remove the bleeding and I used my finger nail and some rough cotton to remove the maroon/brown stripe. In removing the brown stripe, which removed a bit of the black. I repainted the black free hand.

EricWilliamMarshall Posted January 25, 2021 Author #70 Posted January 25, 2021 I also spent time with the printed frieze. I sprayed it with hair spray since I didn't have the recommended varnish. I used an #11 blade to cut the shape out. I used some white glue - I poured it on to my 'pallet' - a plastic yogurt lid and added a little water so it was thinner but still tacky. I used a watercolor brush to apply the glue to the boat's surface and then applied the paper starting at the bow and working to the rear, ensuring there were no wrinkles. bruce d, Ryland Craze and GuntherMT 3 Quote Current adventures: USS Perry of 1843, model kit by Bluejacket - Scale 1:96 Lost at Sea: Dapper Tom - model kit by Model Shipways Previous adventures: an English Pinnace, model kit by Model Shipways, Opium Smuggler Schooner Yacht 1805, model kit by Authentic Holland Models Chesapeake Bay Flattie, model kit by Midwest, USS Constitution, model kit by Revell Albatros 1912, card model kit by HMV
EricWilliamMarshall Posted January 25, 2021 Author #71 Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) I made some more moldings and I think I have the hang of it finally. But have to work very slow to get reasonable results. My brass scraper is a tad wider than some of strips of wood and that is 'dangerous' to the out come unless I'm slow. I painted the moldings and applied them. I used a different pattern than suggested in the kit for the lower molding but in keeping with molding of the 18th century. (It is a poor rip-off from Chippendale's design book.) My heat bending wasn't as smooth as before for the moldings and I broke one trying to sand it. I simply applied them as two parts with extra care to knit together the ripped fibers. You can see my expensive palettes in the first shot as well as my glue applicator - a pin mounted in a long pin vise.

EricWilliamMarshall Posted January 30, 2021 Author #76 Posted January 30, 2021 (edited) Thanks for the kind words! I flatten some brass wire and bent it around the supplied rings.

DelF Posted January 30, 2021 #77 Posted January 30, 2021 Very neat, and nicely in scale. Kit-supplied rings often look too large, but yours are just right. I also like the way you've bent wire round the ring - much more realistic than putting the ring on an eyelet.

EricWilliamMarshall Posted January 31, 2021 Author #78 Posted January 31, 2021 18 hours ago, DelF said: like the way you've bent wire round the ring As always, thank you for your kind words. I found just bending my tiny strip over the ring wasn’t snug and the strip poked into the center of the ring. I’m not sure how others approach this, but used a slender awl inside the ring to force the strip to the edge of the ring and then used needle nose pliers to crimp the the strip. It gives a nice effect, even if my photography doesn’t display that. It is a quick operation. Thanks for noticing!

EricWilliamMarshall Posted January 31, 2021 Author #79 Posted January 31, 2021 More fun with strips from hammered wire. I made hinges that match the plans, which differ from the prototype model. Two flat strips with a bit of wire and a passible hinge. The nail heads are just dots of cyanoacetate glue dabbed on.

EricWilliamMarshall Posted February 1, 2021 Author #81 Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) Thank you ever so much @Edwardkenway! Little by little! I worked on the metal strip that sits on the bow. I bent a piece of 1/64” brass scrap with a pair of small needle-nose pliers over an extra bit of keel (as you may remember, Model Expo sent me a replacement sheet due to my false start). I traced an outline around the cutouts for the splash rails to suggest an inset frame. While I sanded them, I forgot to sand them down as much as suggested in the manual. I saw Tom Ruggiero’s build and he installed vertical wood work under the seats. He argues that there would be benches there. He carved his panels but I didn’t think I could do that cleanly, so I built up mine. This would have been quicker if it occurred to me earlier.

EricWilliamMarshall Posted February 1, 2021 Author #82 Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) For my faux benches, I want to emulate panel and rail construction that would be correct to the period. There was a lot of test fitting, since I couldn’t measure any of the angles (and almost none are right angles), which required the use of tweezers to do! The last image is a test fit.

EricWilliamMarshall Posted February 5, 2021 Author #86 Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) Thank you Derek; I’m trying to work up to challenges like your HMS Speedy. I built a shooting board to help with small cuts for the oar locks. I tried to be clever and section a chunk of wood which I could slice off the pieces as needed. That failed so I sawed, chiseled and sanded lightly. I used the clamped scrap as a stop to ensure I cut at the same depth.

EricWilliamMarshall Posted February 5, 2021 Author #87 Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) I experimented with how to represent nails or tree nails with varying success. I can make them very small, as I’m not crazy about the larger size attempts I’ve seen using toothpicks. I found bamboo splinters, small gauge wire, guitar strings and synthetic line all work and give a good size. However it is too subtle to be seen on the hull! As you can see in the forth photo down, the tree nails are almost impossible to see! I added the oar locks as well and started on the rudder.

EricWilliamMarshall Posted February 8, 2021 Author #88 Posted February 8, 2021 I missed a bit and added it as part of the rudder work. I also tried my hand at some more decoration. I sketched an image which I glued to a thin bit of wood. I attempted to carve it but it keep falling a part. I’m not thrilled with it. I’m curious what the panel of experts think: I should I keep it or toss it? michael mott, Bill Brown, Tigersteve and 8 others 11 Quote Current adventures: USS Perry of 1843, model kit by Bluejacket - Scale 1:96 Lost at Sea: Dapper Tom - model kit by Model Shipways Previous adventures: an English Pinnace, model kit by Model Shipways, Opium Smuggler Schooner Yacht 1805, model kit by Authentic Holland Models Chesapeake Bay Flattie, model kit by Midwest, USS Constitution, model kit by Revell Albatros 1912, card model kit by HMV
DelF Posted February 8, 2021 #89 Posted February 8, 2021 That’s a very decent first attempt - certainly better than my woeful attempts at carving! I suspect a little fettling with fine files and sandpaper to round off the edges would make it very presentable.
