Poor doggy on right seems to have had surgery🙁. Yes she has, 4 weeks ago she started to lose weight and long story short she had a whole passionfruit that had been in her tummy for 2 years removed from her intestine, it had just tried to move from the tummy into the intestine and got stuck, so yes she has had major surgery but is all good now and just needs to put on weight which will take 2-3 months. The dogs are both Belgian Malinois and being trained for sport agility and scent work. The dog on floor training seems to be going badly!...not sure what you mean by this? If you mean why are they on the couch ,this is their couch in the office, Jasmin on the right is highly trained, the puppy "Cato" to a lesser extent being only 4 months, but they have boundries and do not get on our furniture or the carpet but they have a couch they can curl up on. We have a whole youtube channel on stuff these dogs can do and they are in the top 5% of trained dogs...hence why I dont do as much modelling as I did 2 years ago.

Richard Dunn Posted August 25 Author Share #434 Posted August 25 (edited) The most difficult plate in the whole model is on on one side. Deck removed to show mooring deck ready to be fitted with all the framing, the most complex bit of framing on the model, the rolled corner losses shape without the deck in lace, but will return once the framing is in place. there are 2 tranverse frames which I will fit but the longitudinals will be fitted to the deck so this can be framed out and painted before the deck gets glued down That concludes the non glazed plating on the port side upper hull and all steel decks, once sanded I will prime and weld bead.

Richard Dunn Posted August 25 Author Share #435 Posted August 25 (edited) Has anyone used PVA as a glazing mask? on acrylic Some framing started on Port aft mooring deck, these stringers above and below the openings were VERY hard to fit into place and keep flush with holes, I think I invented some new words during this. Once the Bulwark stays go in this should be quite stiff. A couple of renders of the framing in here as a whole. And just for the few hard core people actually reading this. here is the actual plan to compare to of the aft part of this, the forward part with stair well does not exist. knock yourself out. I know a lot of people are probably say " why are you going to all the trouble of framing all this up", well Its always been one of my life goals to have this on my model, it's very important to me, at at this scale I feel it's a given.

KeithAug Posted August 26 Share #436 Posted August 26 Very crisp work Richard - the plan looks a little daunting.

Jim Lad Posted August 26 Share #438 Posted August 26 That's a wonderfully complex piece of work, Richard. As for doing all the framing up - you could equally ask why people building period warships go to the trouble of all the faming detail that will be hidden! 😀 John Javelin and KeithAug 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
