popeye the sailor Posted September 5, 2014 #438 Posted September 5, 2014 hee....hee........that's the same reaction I got from my admiral, after she saw what the wood builds look like. only two of my build left the house......and she hated to see them go! I simply told her........get me another kit sounds like a splendid place for her to reside. riverboat and DenPink 2 Quote I yam wot I yam! finished builds: Billings Nordkap 476 / Billings Cux 87 / Billings Mary Ann / Billings AmericA - reissue Billings Regina - bashed into the Susan A / Andrea Gail 1:20 - semi scratch w/ Billing instructions M&M Fun Ship - semi scratch build / Gundalow - scratch build / Jeanne D'Arc - Heller Phylly C & Denny-Zen - the Lobsie twins - bashed & semi scratch dual build Billing T78 Norden in dry dock: Billing's Gothenborg 1:100 / Billing's Boulogne Etaples 1:20 Billing's Half Moon 1:40 - some scratch required Revell U.S.S.

maggsl_01 Posted September 19, 2014 #446 Posted September 19, 2014 Hi Denis, got one more question: As I understood the decks of the SOS are ready to build in - I mean the decks have not to be planked. Although the look is very accurate und smooth - what is your opinion about this way of building? Is it a "+" or a "-" for you? I see there is a trend to prefabricate more and more parts. This is a this-and-that-way... I am not sure what I should think about... hmmm Thx Max Quote Next: Friedrich Wilhelm zu Pferde by Euro Model 1:47 Finished: Half Moon Corel; HMY Royal Caroline Panart; HMB Endeavour Occre 1:54; Fregatte Berlin, Corel, 1:40 A life without dogs is possible... but worth to live?
DenPink Posted September 20, 2014 Author #447 Posted September 20, 2014 Hi Max Re decks and planking. I think it looks OK as it is but if I had to do it all again I think I would prefer to plank it myself.

popeye the sailor Posted September 23, 2014 #448 Posted September 23, 2014 Billing's did that a lot with their older kits.......some folks didn't like it. they do sell wood grain laminate that has an adhesive backing, but I think the hard part would be the calking, since it is so thin.
