harvey1847 Posted February 21, 2013 Share #35 Posted February 21, 2013 Very nice Rusty. I do remember your log. I got a few questions, just three,,, .- TREENAILS: For the treenailing did you use the Byrne Drawplate or you sand a piece of boxwood? Link to the Byrnes Drawplate. http://www.byrnesmodelmachines.com/drawplate1.html?id_mm=0219MM352526 .- CAULKING: How you did it? Did you use black ink with white glue or paper? The result is very clean and neat! .- FINISHING: Did you paint the frames before plank them interior and exteriorly? What paint, oil did you use? Thanks very much! Glad to see there is so many builders back to the cross setion...Let´s see how many come back to the complete model. I miss a lot Randy, Wang, bubblehead,John and much more... Happy day! Daniel.

Rustyj Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share #38 Posted February 24, 2013 Thanks Mark, Bob, Ron and Larry. Daniel, whatever wood I’m using to make my treenails out ofI cut to 1/32”x1/32” and then run it through the Byrnes draw plate down to thesize I want. I went down to # 26 for these treenails. The Caulking is blackconstruction paper edge glued to each plank prior to placing the on the frames.I want to try the method of leaving a gap and using colored fill to make thecaulk sometime. The frames have two very light coats of wipe on poly appliedprior to attaching them to the keel. When I sanded to fair the frames itremoved the poly from the surfaces where planking would be placed and allowedfor good adhesion. Ben, I had the pleasure of meeting Jeff once at a show andhe’s every bit as nice as you would think he is. You're so close you could just drive over and pick you wood out!

Rustyj Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share #40 Posted March 1, 2013 Nothing much to show other than just working my way across the lower gun deck. I temporarily glued the plans on because I didn't trust myself to transfer the measurements. Seems to make straighter lines for me at least. fatih79 1 Rusty "So Long For Now" Current Builds: Speedwell Completed Build Logs: HMS Winchelsea 1/48 Duchess of Kingston USF Confederacy , US Brig Syren , Triton Cross Section , Bomb Vessel Cross Section, Cutter Cheerful, Queen Anne Barge, Medway Longboat Completed Build Gallery: Brig Syren , 1870 Mississippi Riverboat , 1949 Chris-Craft 19' Runabout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete38 Posted March 1, 2013 Share #41 Posted March 1, 2013 Question Rusty Are the beams glued up in place and are cutting notch on the section? Or are using just marking then remove beams then cut notch? Great looking job neat and clean Triton Cross Section 1:32 SEE YA LATER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustyj Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share #42 Posted March 1, 2013 Hi Pete, I glue them in place and then cut the notches. It will be harder to do it this way but for me I feel I can get a better fit in the end.

Rustyj Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share #48 Posted March 8, 2013 Thanks everyone, The first knee took about 1 hour. I've cut in half so far. 6 more to go so maybe by the last one I can get it down to 15 minutes.

Rustyj Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share #52 Posted March 11, 2013 Well the lower deck framing has been completed and sanded. Ieven had time to add the waterways. They were cut from cherry as will the bulwark planks. Next up will be planking half of the deck with holly and then tree nailing it. fatih79 1 Rusty "So Long For Now" Current Builds: Speedwell Completed Build Logs: HMS Winchelsea 1/48 Duchess of Kingston USF Confederacy , US Brig Syren , Triton Cross Section , Bomb Vessel Cross Section, Cutter Cheerful, Queen Anne Barge, Medway Longboat Completed Build Gallery: Brig Syren , 1870 Mississippi Riverboat , 1949 Chris-Craft 19' Runabout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
