Snowmans Posted March 13, 2013 Share #62 Posted March 13, 2013 Looks like you have the fit nice and tight. I am nearly up to this stage and will be doing a bit of practice before the final cuts with the chisel. Nice work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustyj Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share #64 Posted March 14, 2013 Thank you all for the kind words. Here I’ve started adding the planking up to the point under the main deck beam location. At this point I'll move on to planking half of the deck with Holly. 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...
Rustyj Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share #65 Posted March 14, 2013 Here is the first row of holly set in place.

Matrim Posted March 15, 2013 Share #66 Posted March 15, 2013 Nice - holly is really nice for deck planking. Plus this is 'easy' planking so it should go nicely. Are you planning on caulking? though there are a multiplicity of methods of doing that.. Joss ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustyj Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share #67 Posted March 15, 2013 Hi Joss, I will be using the black paper for the caulking just like I did the hull. Some time I want to try the black wood filler but for now I'll stick to paper.

Rustyj Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share #68 Posted March 26, 2013 Hi All, Sorry all but the camera decided to hack up the hair ball. I was taking pictures thinking all was good. I pulled the memory card to download the pictures and nada, zip, zero nothing. Put the card back in, took some more pictures. Nope. I replaced the card and still nothing. You would think that a $100 camera would last longer then 6 years of being covered in dust in a work shop and repeatedly knocked on the floor. So anyway, I stole the Admirals camera to take some pictures to bring us up to date. The decking was completed and I used Holly treenails with the black construction paper for the caulking. For the support beams I used some Swiss Pear and using a xacto and files. I then went on to framing in the gun deck with the boxwood which the main beams are almost done and then I’ll start on the carlings ledges and knees. That's were I'm at right now!

Pete38 Posted March 26, 2013 Share #69 Posted March 26, 2013 That decking look superp. How do you keep the black construction paper getting fuzzy's all over the place when sanding or do you sand. I tried it with my keel and like to never got it cleaned up. Very impressed, Support beams look great also Triton Cross Section 1:32 SEE YA LATER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harvey1847 Posted March 26, 2013 Share #74 Posted March 26, 2013 Really nice Rusty. I like especially the work you have done with the treenailing of the deck! They all look symetrical and in their correct place. Did you use some kind of handmade plate to mark the place of them? Keep going! Daniel. In the shipyard: HMS Triton 1773. POF. 1:48.

Rustyj Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share #78 Posted March 26, 2013 Hi Pete and Ben. There’s nothing special I do. I just make sure that the paper is completely glued on both sides. I only leave about 1/32” excess on the topside and none on the bottom. Once dry I sand with 150 then 220 then 400 grit sand paper. I sometimes I will scrap it too with a single edged razor blade. I’ve only tried this on hardwoods like holly, boxwood and par marfin. I hope this helps. Hi Bob, Thanks’ and the chisel’s I use are the small and mini palm chisels from U.J. Ramelson. Thanks Russ. Doing them really makes me want to get a lathe! Thanks Paddy. I wish I hadn’t lost the pictures though. Thanks Bob. I was pleased with the contrast with the planking, paper and treenails. Hi Daniel. I just use a strip of wood cut to the desired width and lay it on the beam and mark each plank prior to drilling. Thanks Mark. Much appreciated.

Rustyj Posted April 1, 2013 Author Share #83 Posted April 1, 2013 Thanks Joss, Larry, Runner63 and Grant. No lathe yet Grant. Hopefully some day I’ll get one. Well all of the gun deck beams are in place. And some light sanding has been done. Next I’ll be working on all of those knees. Then I’ll have to do all of the carlings and ledges. That’ll keep me busy for a while! fatih79 and Gabek 2 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...

Rustyj Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share #89 Posted April 5, 2013 Thanks, Paddy Daniel and Bob. All of the hanging knee blanks are rough cut out with the one in the foreground cut and ready to be installed. Here are a couple of close ups to show the various angles etc that have to be cut into them to fit around the other knees and hull planking. After they are all done it will be time to add all the carlings and cut those pesky notches.
