westwood Posted June 9, 2022 Author #67 Posted June 9, 2022 Thank you for the kind words and likes guys. I finished the second belt and before I continue I've finally started fairing inboard as well. And I also was bending the top cap. I blackened the inside edge so I know as far as I can sand. It's slow going, I'll continue tomorrow...

westwood Posted July 30, 2022 Author #76 Posted July 30, 2022 Thanks for the compliments, I am lucky to learn and be inspired by you guys. Planking was a difficult process and it doesn't even seem to have taken several months. I'm glad it's done. But unfortunately I can't wax the hull yet. I'm thinking of buying a WOP and trying this method of finishing. I decided to skip the third chapter for now and start chapter four first. I think it will be better that way and at least I won't damage the mouldings and friezes while doing rough work on the deck.

westwood Posted July 30, 2022 Author #77 Posted July 30, 2022 I was originally planning on a maple deck but now I think I'll just stick with cherry wood. What do you think?

Chuck Posted July 30, 2022 #78 Posted July 30, 2022 I am a big proponent for not mixing wood types. My preference is always to use the same wood for hull and deck. But I am old school and tend to look at and admire the contemporary models which mostly did the same.

westwood Posted September 13, 2022 Author #79 Posted September 13, 2022 Hi guys, I finally found the time to update my log. Thank you Chuck, I agree with you and I won't mix wood types. So I just cut the cherry strips for the deck... Continuation of chapter four: I glued the two halves of the false deck together and fitted them to the model like this. Before I did that, I checked to make sure they were the same width. And finally the bulwark planking can begin. I have a feeling it was more challenging than the hull planking. I'm really happy that I did it before I would have painted the friezes. I have also now modified the deck clamps for forecastle beams based on chapter eight. And I also finished the first chapter and glued the bollard timbers to place... glbarlow, Knocklouder, JpR62 and 14 others 14 3 Dusan Currently building: HMS Winchelsea 1764 by westwood - 1:48 Revenge 1577 - by westwood - 1:64 In preparation: Fourth-rate ship 1681 - 1:48

westwood Posted September 18, 2022 Author #88 Posted September 18, 2022 Thank you for the kind words and likes guys. A few more words I accidentally deleted yesterday. I finished completely bulwark planking and after sanding, I started painting. I think it was 8 layers. First 3 layers mixture of 1part Cadmium medium and 2 parts deep. Color I mentioned on the previous page in posts 31 and 38. But it seemed too sweet to me, so I stopped inventing and the rest of the layers is just Cadmium Deep. The photos don't capture it well, I think I need to do something about my lights. After painting I finished The Paneled Captain's Cabin, Inboard counter at the stern and finally margin planks. Checkered cabin floor is ready but not yet glued.

westwood Posted September 18, 2022 Author #90 Posted September 18, 2022 Thank you Frank and also for all the likes. Before I start laying the decks planks I want to make sure that the Foremast Partner and Stove platform is in the right position. That's why I already have the deck beams ready. I wasn't sure about the placement of the false deck and thought I would have to move the partners back slightly. But in the end, I'm happy as it is. What do you think?
