Trussben Posted June 20, 2013 Share #211 Posted June 20, 2013 Hi Rusty, everything looks great but maybe you could have modified the planking below the gunports so there wasn't that little strip beneath them, using the tabbed approach. That's what I intend to do on the Echo. Keep the updates coming buddy. Ben Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM. HMS Winchelsea. Completed builds: ECHO cross section.18th C Longboat.QA Barge.

Rustyj Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share #212 Posted June 21, 2013 Hi Ben. You read my mind. After looking at the pictures I remembered Chuck doing it and will attempt it on the tops. Not gonna rip off the old though.

Rustyj Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share #213 Posted June 24, 2013 Ok here is my attempt to duplicate Chuck’s work, again. Not as good as his but I’m satisfied. When I planked around the sills I thought I was going to be around ½ a plank wide. But once I put the plank in place finished trimmed it and sanded it flush you see I only have about a ¼ plank width. So with that I attempted to do the tabbed approach Ben mentioned and Chuck demonstrated on the Winnie. I started with cutting a plank the width of a regular plank plus the width of the tab to cover the lintel. I then marked the entire plank at the regular plank width, then marked the widest point of the of the tab and the narrowest point so I would know what angle to cut. I then slowley removed the excess wood and kept testing it until I was satisfied with the finished piece. Then it was glued in placed. Next I'll treenail both sides.

Pete38 Posted June 24, 2013 Share #214 Posted June 24, 2013 Rusty.... Very nice touch on your models...the result was worth the extra effort. It is so amazing how this many people can start with the same plans and come out with what seems endless variations of the model by adding their own touch.

Trussben Posted June 26, 2013 Share #226 Posted June 26, 2013 Rusty, u still going to use boxwood for treenails? I just drew down a load of bamboo for the Echo frames, installed and sanded them and they are invisible!!! I expected to be able to see them a little bit!! You wouldn't know they were there! Your drilling is excellent as always. Ben Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM. HMS Winchelsea. Completed builds: ECHO cross section.18th C Longboat.QA Barge. Medway Longboat.

mtaylor Posted July 4, 2013 Share #237 Posted July 4, 2013 Rusty, You continue to push the bar higher.. Love the colors. I never thought of redheart for bulwarks but that looks great. Question, I understand redheart darkens with time. Do you know if a finish will stop that? Or like cherry, does it just get darker and darker?

Rustyj Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share #240 Posted July 4, 2013 Thanks Mark. I first used Red Heart on the Mayflower around 3 ½ years ago. I applied around 4 coats satin wipe on poly and it still is the same color. I’m hoping that several coats on the Triton will help it hold the color too. I’ve also heard that the biggest cause of color change is sunlight. So I also plan on keeping it away from direct sunlight. Time will tell. Thanks Bob. I’d say great minds think alike but the Admiral would have issue with my side of the equation. Thanks Ben.
