Anja Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share #331 Posted May 26, 2013 Hello all, An update, as promised. I placed and glued the headpanels on the hull. The front end isn't glued yet. I decided to cut off all the bulwark tops, because the difference in size was just too much to correctly place the 'new' inner bulwarks. The inner bulwarks were then glued in place. I put in a waterway, wide enough to cover the spots where the bulwark tops used to be. So, the waterway may be just out of scale. Still have to decide what to do with the finish of the hull. See last picture. I think I will go for the one with the pore filler and stain. That has a nice colour and smooth surface. Thanks for looking in and take care, Anja hopeful and tarbrush 2 Quote Those we loved but lost are no longer where they were, but are always where we are.

tarbrush Posted May 26, 2013 Share #332 Posted May 26, 2013 Hi Anja I love the color you obtained on the last photo in your post. Could you tell me what stain you used and what wood you are using? I have often tried to get this exact color and so far haven't been able to nail it.

Anja Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share #333 Posted May 26, 2013 Hello Tarbrush, Thank you for looking in at my build. The deckplanks are Mahogany strips with one layer of clear varnish and one layer of stain. The last picture shows the wood used for the second planking of the lower hull, Tanganika. The stain is water based and just of a dark colour. A sort of Walnut / dark Oak colour. I'm sorry, but I saw that I didn't wrote the brand down in my log. The pore-filler is a sort of milky liquid which leaves the wood a slightly, darker colour after it's dried, but you hardly notice it. It is difficult to obtain just the right colour you want. The thickness of the layers and color of the wood also determines the end result. I hope this will be of some help to you. Take care, Anja tarbrush 1 Quote Those we loved but lost are no longer where they were, but are always where we are.

popeye the sailor Posted May 27, 2013 Share #337 Posted May 27, 2013 I can see that there is a big difference between these two kits. did the instructions say to cut out the bulwark posts? the reason I ask is that the top rails and the belaying pin rails are a one piece part.......they are to be bent to fit over the bulwark walls. it's going to be quite a task......they are plywood. I'm not there yet....it will be interesting. nice job with the mahogany work.......the finish you describe is going to look stellar!

Hello Popeye, No, the instructions didn't say that the bulwark tops needed to be cut off. It was my decision, because the tops were not even. Some were bending inwards, some outwards, and others were straight. Good luck with the task! Looking nice, Anja. That color will look really good on the hull. Nice work Anja! I like the colour for the hull too. Hello Wayne and Sherry, Thank you both for the compliment. It is appreciated. I like the color as well. It turned out very nice.
