Old Collingwood Posted December 1, 2021 Share #182 Posted December 1, 2021 I was going to add my Five Pence worth - with my Greyhound build - I just kept on adding brushed on layers onto the lower hull - till I was happy with the finish, if a smooth (grain less) finish is what you are after - I found it took several coats to achieve this (that was with a hairy stick mind) OC. mtaylor 1 Quote Current builds 28mm Battle of Waterloo attack on La Haye Saint Diorama. 1/700 HMS Hood Flyhawk with PE, Resin and Wood Decking.

mtaylor Posted December 1, 2021 Author Share #186 Posted December 1, 2021 Well.... I made a dog's breakfast of painting. Call it lack of experience as I haven't spray painted in decades. Need to sand and fill some spots. What looked ok yesterday showed that the low humidity here is creating a few problems. I'll sand, re-paint, and see what happens. I'm not upset, just focused on learning more and mistakes are part of learning or re-learning.

mtaylor Posted December 2, 2021 Author Share #187 Posted December 2, 2021 Yep, I had the building maintenance guy run his humidity meter for a bit. Foggy outside, inside it's dry as a bone.

allanyed Posted December 2, 2021 Share #188 Posted December 2, 2021 Thanks Mark!! Is the 4mm with the planking or just the top timber itself? OC, Sorry for the confusion, my fault. I was only looking at what the kit dimension was as it appears heavy in the photo, but I know what it should be based on the scantlings for the size of the ship and era. I was curious to see if Vanguard got it right as this is often wrong on some kits. The top of the top timber for the 1745 Establishment and again in the Ship Builders Repository (1788) and Steel's Elements of Naval Architecture (1805) show it should be about 4 inches, which would be about 1.58 mm at 1:64. If the total with inboard planking, top timber, and outboard planking are measured, they would total about 3.5 mm at 1:64.

mtaylor Posted December 4, 2021 Author Share #191 Posted December 4, 2021 Humidity seems stabilized and I've filling, sanding, checking, rinse and repeat seemingly forever. But, the white is done. and coated with two coats of flat clear. Needs a bit of touch up in a few places but that will wait until I'm done with the black just in case some gets pulled up with the tape removal. I did notice some areas where the tape didn't fully seal and one where the tape dipped a bit low... I'll fix when I do touch ups. So, I'm taking the rest of the day off to let everything sit and then attack the black wales and down to the waterline. I'll probably do the blue on the gallery windows but I may hold off on that. tkay11, JpR62, TBlack and 17 others 20 Quote Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanDavison Posted December 5, 2021 Share #196 Posted December 5, 2021 Hi Mark, its me again! Sorry,I am still concerned that your quarter galleries are still too high at the stern. Can I suggest that you check that when you can still fit the stern rails (step 237), the quarter gallery fretwork (step312) and the tile roof (step 319) as designed - I think you might have a problem, and if so, better sorted now that later. However if you are happy with what you are doing, then please continue, after all it your build. Just trying to be helpful. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtaylor Posted December 5, 2021 Author Share #197 Posted December 5, 2021 Well, the voyage continues today. I've taped and varnished the edge of the tape to prevent bleed through. Once it dries and I"m satisfied with the fit and finish, I'll start laying down the black. I'm brushing not spraying as I feel I have more control and the area isn't as massive as the white. I'm also looking ahead in the instructions and the other logs and see there's an issue with friezes and some bits that are over them. Thinking this through as it might be best to add the friezes and then the overlaid wood can be "fitted" (time to dig out the files). 9 hours ago, paul carruthers said: When masking I always add a coat of varnish over the tape before applying the colour, it helps prevent bleeding. Yep. That's SOP on painting. I've had to re-learn some things as it's been a long time since I painted a ship. 5 hours ago, AlanDavison said: Hi Mark, its me again!

I taken your concerns seriously. Pretty much everything is somewhat fool proof with slots and tabs. I rechecked measurements, fit, etc. It's either spot on or darned close. The only possibility I can think of is that my stern might be a bit low. Looks like I have 4mm space at the narrowest point for the brass bit on top of the gallery. I need to dig that out and double check.

Hi Mark, do you think the black has been absorbed deep into the wood grain? Just wondering if a sharp razor blade might scrape the surface clean, rather than paint it over. A subtle yellow ochre would do the trick if not.
