terryoneill Posted July 27, 2013 Author #2 Posted July 27, 2013 Decided to use gorilla glue on the curving deck at the aft end. It needs to be strong to bend the deck to its curves. avsjerome2003 1 Quote
terryoneill Posted July 27, 2013 Author #3 Posted July 27, 2013 (edited) Started painting the bulkheads on the first deck, Not at my best when trying to paint detail! Edited July 27, 2013 by terryoneill Quote
terryoneill Posted July 28, 2013 Author #4 Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) The hull on this model was very easy to put together. I would recomend it for someone wanting to start out on plank on frame modeling. Just be sure that all bulkheads are square when gluing and file everything for a flush fit. Then fair the framework before applying the planks. A little filler and some sandpaper and it looks like it should. I left it a little rough when sanding so that the planks would show thru after painting. I am thinking about going over the scored planks on the bulkheads because the scored lines on them don't show up as much as I want them to. Edited July 28, 2013 by terryoneill Quote
terryoneill Posted July 28, 2013 Author #5 Posted July 28, 2013 There is an error in my kit. In the laser cut parts identifier sheet there two 42a p/s marked. the one circled here should read 40 c. avsjerome2003 1 Quote
terryoneill Posted July 28, 2013 Author #6 Posted July 28, 2013 Completed the aft bulkheads, ready to install on the deck now. trippwj 1 Quote
terryoneill Posted August 25, 2013 Author #7 Posted August 25, 2013 Time to update this build a little. One of the problems I have with useing a dark stain on the deck is that the lines for placement of the bulkheads have dissappeared. tried to place them even and checked the other parts in order to locate them in the proper place. Hope it works out ok later. may have to adjust. avsjerome2003 1 Quote
terryoneill Posted August 25, 2013 Author #8 Posted August 25, 2013 seems to be a problem with the way the small bulkheads are depicted on the drawings. It seems to me that they should be placed outboard to cover the gap instead of toward the inside. If nobody has any reason I think I will install them to cover the gaps. Quote
terryoneill Posted August 25, 2013 Author #9 Posted August 25, 2013 Some pics as I think it should be assembled. Quote
