Well thank you @Blue Ensign!

Happy modelling!

Hakan - Belated best wishes re the surgery. It's now Tuesday evening and hopefully it will all be over and you will be on the mend. I hope the nurses are pretty and that you are chasing them round the ward by midday tomorrow.

@KeithAug, on the mend probably. But no to the other subjects. Like old wine that didnt age too well 😄 they are nice though.

I'm in a lot of pain despite morphine. Will probably stay another night.

Good to see your sense of humour hasn't deserted you. The fact that they are contemplating letting you home tomorrow seems to be a good sign. Keep taking the morphine. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Finally feeling reasonable well to sit in front of the computer again!

Without giving away any gory details - it has been a rough week. Period.

 

Though I'd catch up my log with my actual progress as it stands Sunday before last.

Deck framing is complete.

All frames are secured to the beam shelf with a 19 mm screw bolt, aka 1 mm bamboo tree nail. Actually done after the photo session below.

The entire deck will not need much fairing. The lighter carlings around the main hatch and the forward hatch needed a little shim to sit at correct height. Can not be seen in the photos below.

What is left is to trim some of the timber tops. I will probably add some filler pieces to have support for the waterway and covering board. 

There will also be filler pieces/carlings where deck planks are supposed to end. Not all ends land on a deck beam. These will come later I think.

So, this is where it stands at present.

20230129_154959.jpg.e46505dd538928281a9e328e3a688cbc.jpg

I think I will go out and crank up the heat again in the shop now...

When I know there is a period where I will not be able to go out on a regular basis I set the heat to a minimum, which is 10 degrees to save energy. Otherwise it sits at around 15-16 degrees and with my 400V air heater it is quick work to get a descent 18-20 degrees out there. But starting from 10 is not okay since all the tools will be too cold for comfort.

 

Pax et bonum!

Happy modelling!

Håkan

I wonder sometimes what is more difficult, to build a model or the real ship/boat? Measuring parts should be easier on the smaller parts than on several metres long pieces of the real thing. But then accessibility and measurement tolerances are an issue in models.

 

Well, 18 to 20°C would be far below my comfort zone ... at least for working sitting down.

Well thank you Andy 😊

I prefferably use white glue and is quick with a damp brush to wipe away any excess.

 

@wefalck - apart from large steel ships I think the real vessel is "easier" to build than its scaled down counterpart. Given that there is adequate tooling and staff around. Tolerances are easier to manage in 1:1 than in 1:something I think. Work can be done on several places at once in 1:1 not so in scale. Of course it only is comparable as long as the scaled down version is an exact replica.

Happy modelling!

My workshop has been sat at about 6c for a month or so. The other day I went in and it seemed somewhat warmer so I looked at the thermometer - 9c! Today it's back to 6c. I can only stand it for about an hour and half so not much is getting done. Work gloves and two jumpers help. I recall a 1940s war film where an occupant of a POW camp burns his model boat to keep his hut warm, I sometimes consider it Good to see you made it back to the workshop Hakan.

Well, not actually, only for the 10 sec it took to change the heater. I have my mind on it though, which is a start at least. 🙂

Good to say the workshop temperature jumped up the 12c (from its winter 6c). I had to take my jumper off! I hope you are getting out to your workshop Hakan? Best wishes - Keith.

Well @KeithAug not much shop time on my part. Have been in hospital for the last 5 days. Back at home now though. It was en emergency visit and they kept me. Internal bleedings that needed urgent action. It was one of those s**t happens score cards that I drew. Note to self- don't be tempted to draw another card, even if it looks promising...  

Happy modelling!

Hakan - I was wondering how you were doing. The road may be rough but despite the ups and downs the general trend will be one of improvement, it just takes longer than we expect. Hopefully the worst has past.
