Wintergreen Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share #225 Posted February 7, 2023 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. 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! vaddoc, G.L., wefalck and 14 others 16 1 Quote Happy modelling!

wefalck Posted February 7, 2023 Share #226 Posted February 7, 2023 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. mtaylor, Wintergreen and Keith Black 3 Quote wefalck panta rhei - Everything is in flux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wintergreen Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share #228 Posted February 7, 2023 1 hour ago, FlyingFish said: not a bit of glue on show! Tremendous! 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. Keith Black and mtaylor 2 Quote 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.
