Wintergreen Posted March 1 Author #368 Posted March 1 Soo, this was a funny little piece to piece together, piece by piece, so to say. All dovetails and pins handcut with jewellers saw and filed to fit. It is the forward hatch and stairway just aft of the main mast. I decided to give it a wash of staining to dampen the quite white appearance of it. In order to match I sanded the main hatch coaming also and applied a wash to it too. When dry I will give it a quick touch up with 320 grit paper and apply a couple of layers of laquer. The bottom edge is sanded to the same rise as the deck beams so I used the top edge as index when mating all the corners. The two small blocks in the upper right corner (one with an arrow) was used to get the right size of the openings, and also keep things fair and square. Here it is still moist after the staining hence the quite dark colour. It is not glued in place yet either. The real deal was through bolted from top down through the deck beams. I will not bother with that. I know my limitations (I think). 😉 Cheers guys! Tony Hunt, Colin B, davyboy and 13 others 11 5 Quote Happy modelling!

Wintergreen Posted November 9 Author #370 Posted November 9 Just to be clear - I have not abandoned the build. It has just been summer followed by a crazy autumn with no spare time or time to spare. The shop is slowly being organized back into being fit for model building and not window frame renovations. It will take some time still, but have faith, I will be back on the Atlantica build before long. Cheers! JacquesCousteau, mtaylor, KeithAug and 6 others 9 Quote Happy modelling!

Wintergreen Posted December 3 Author #377 Posted December 3 So, just another quick update... Shipwright season has officially started in the Wintergreen residence. Finally! Almost to the day, nine months since my last actual progress report... A lot of other duties had higher priorities. It's been a crazy fall around here. I have also treated myself with the Proxxon disc sander and a new shopwac that doesn't sound like a 747 taking off (it's a Bosch 20 liter something, with a 220 outlet on it, so single switch operation now with sander attached). Oh! And there is a new rule in the shop as well... Put. The. Tools. Back. Where. They. Belong. Period. (NOT just drop them where you last used them, halfwit, because that place, no matter how obvious, is cleared from your memory as soon as you turn your back to it.) Cheers!

Jim Lad Posted December 3 #380 Posted December 3 Håkan, I am an absolute master of 'just put it down where you last used it you know where it is, spend half an hour looking for it again'. I think I would have time to build many more models if I could only master that important workshop skill! 😀 John Wintergreen, MAGIC's Craig, Keith Black and 1 other 1 3 Quote
Dr PR Posted December 4 #381 Posted December 4 I solved the missing tool problem long ago. I have a tool box and unused tools go into the box. However, it is last in first out (LIFO) stack. So the last tool I used is on top of the stack (pile) of tools in the box. If I haven't used a tool in some time it is on the bottom of the pile. But I know where it is - I just have to dig it out from under all the other tools.

Wintergreen Posted December 4 Author #382 Posted December 4 Keith, John, I'm glad to find a borthers in arms with the same kind of malfunction 😄 But I guess there are even more of us. Maybe we should schedule a group session with Dr Per... hmm... food for thought. My anticipation is that by the time we hit the festive season in a couple of weeks, my time in the shop as well as my inspiration will level up. As for the moment, I am slowly picking up the tools to trigger that nerve. Quite tired and worn at the moment. Cheers! Nirvana, Keith Black, mtaylor and 1 other 4 Quote Happy modelling!

Wintergreen Posted Monday at 08:16 PM Author #384 Posted Monday at 08:16 PM Finally, the shipwright has returned. Man, that was a long hiatus. Anyhow, the board shown in the last post's picture has ben transformed to the third and fourth coamings for deck hatches/openings. While contemplating the next step I had some fun and by coincidence that fun also ansered my next question. It is the question about mast partners. As can be seen from the book, there is blocking to support the mast below deck planks. So, the next step will be to do some dummy masts and have them standing as they should according to plans. After that it is on the covering boards and decking. I did forget the banana for size, or the match, or the coin. Ah well, the coamings are 12mm or a ½" high, corresponding to a real world measurement of 300mm above decking. Deck planks are 60mm thick by 120 mm wide. On another note, during the build this far I have been thinking about size and scale. This build is in 1:30 (which is close to 3/8 scale). The hull is about 800 mm long. And I have pondered over my abilities for joining pieces of wood and what that would be for the coming of the 18th century ships I have in mind. After some thought I found out that the size of a manowar in 1:64 or a smaller ship in 1:48 will have the same dimensions as what I am building now... That is because these ships timbers were larger overall on these ships. Of course this is not entirely true, more of an approximation. Huge relief though. So, the challenges I face now, will be the same later down the line. Interesting. Til next time - ta! vossiewulf, MAGIC's Craig, berhard and 4 others 7 Quote Happy modelling!
