Toolmaker Posted February 4, 2023 Share #458 Posted February 4, 2023 Hello Glen, I’m fairly new to wooden ship building and this is my first comment on your build, so hence the formality. Your log is both inspirational, educational and a pleasure to read. Yes, there are multiple wonderful builds of this model, but the detail you show, whilst not being over repetitive is a perfect fit for me. I hope you don’t mind but I have a question on the use of the monofilament fishing line, used to represent bolts. So far, I can only see the “size” given as the breaking strain. I was hoping you could measure the diameter used and quote that either in MM or English. My concern is that different manufacturers will offer varying diameters for a given breaking strain so a known size would be useful. Of course if I knew the size of the ship builders bolts/nails etc, I could scale them myself. I intend to commence with my own build of HMS Winchelsea later this year and your build will be my favoured mentoring resource.

BobG Posted February 16, 2023 Share #463 Posted February 16, 2023 My wife and I and our son, who was studying in Buenos Aires at the time, spent a couple of weeks in Patagonia as part of a 6 week trip in Argentina in 2010 and Patagonia was spectacular. We particularly loved hiking in Fitz Roy Mountain Range in El Chaltén and in the Torres del Paine National Park. The hike up to the three Towers of Paine was amazing. Enjoy Glenn!

glbarlow Posted February 26, 2023 Author Share #465 Posted February 26, 2023 Main Deck Complete I’ve returned from my two week journey to Argentina and Chile pursuing my other hobby of photography, it was incredible. Before I left I completed the deck but didn’t have time for a post, so I’m now catching up. With the challenging center belt completed the belts either side are straightforward enough. I’ve had some issues with my Byrnes saw and ended up sending it back to Byrnes Model Machines for some repairs and a tune up. I’ve had it since 2008 so it was probably time. The Thickness Sander was a joy to use in providing consistent thickness planks for the deck. The deck became a construction zone as I followed my marked out butt shift plan on the lined deck. The lining out showed me where the tapered planks began to achieved the desired subtle but curved planking. I used the same double-sided tape, metal ruler, and #11 blade method I described earlier in this log for the hull planking. My goal was to keep the tapered planks to near the same width for each plank for a consistent look. The lining off of the deck was the guiding force in doing this, though I doubled down with tick strips to confirm and mark the planks. The actual builders probably didn’t use little strips of woods to ensure tight seams between planks, but it works well for the model as I opted to use white PVA for the deck and drying time was necessary. I spent a lot of time sorting planks to keep the colors as even as possible. As we know there is generally some color variation in AYC. Even with that sorting the 5/16th billet I had was darker than the ¼ planks, but it’s consistent so it’s ok. The master gunner stopped by for a trial fit of the waist battery, he was satisfied with the look. With the planking complete, I did some aggressive sanding with 220, 320, and 400 grit sandpaper in turn. That resulted in a nick here and there on the coamings, easily corrected with Tamiya tape and the Admiralty Ironwork Black paint, 10/0, 3/0, and 20//0 paint brushes as needed. The tape job was excessive, there were just small paint dings to touch up. I applied three coats of WOP with light sanding after the second (the first is absorbed deeply into the sanded wood), buffed it up and the deck is done. You can see here the difference in the 5/16 wood either side of the center belt. This will hardly be noticeable at all once the deck furnishings and especially after forecastle and quarterdeck are later installed. It’s really not all that noticeable now. With that the deck, and Chapter 4, are complete. Here are iPhone photos sharing the state of my Winchelsea. I really ought to get the good gear out at some point for photos. Thank you for stopping by. Your likes and comments are always deeply appreciated. Chapter 5 will have to wait until after I’ve selected, processed, edited, and published from the over 1,000 images taken during my Patagonia trip.
