westwood Posted January 22, 2023 Author #126 Posted January 22, 2023 Thank you for your comments and likes. After a little break I came back to work on the gallery today. I didn't manage to get all the angles to match one hundred percent. But I hope that in the final view it will be enough.

westwood Posted January 23, 2023 Author #135 Posted January 23, 2023 Thanks for the kind words and likes guys. Now I have a shingle roof to do and then I finally have to make the fancy moldings. But I still have to figure out which profile of scraper to make. I have the friezes printed and I'm also thinking if I should spray the friezes with some varnish, fixative before cutting them out. Maybe something with a satin finish.

Chuck Posted January 23, 2023 #136 Posted January 23, 2023 If you spray them….do only a light spray from far away. It really doesnt have to be soaked which I see some folks doing. Just a light spray of matte fixative from a couple feet away.

glbarlow Posted January 24, 2023 #137 Posted January 24, 2023 (edited) Definitely a light coat of a fixative spray, I did two light coats of Winsor & Newton Fixative. I got it on Amazon Here It is neither matte or satin, still looks like the paper when it’s dry.

westwood Posted February 4, 2023 Author #138 Posted February 4, 2023 Hi guys, just a little push forward, I put down the shingles, then I used 3mm masking tape to test the run of the central moulding, then I formed the support strip for more comfortable installation - gluing molding strip (at least I hope so) and finally I tried to make a scraper with a suitable profile. I'll see tomorrow if I still like it or if I'll change it. the friezes on the photo are just test in a wrong colour CaptMorgan, Freebird, James G and 9 others 11 1 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 February 9, 2023 Author #142 Posted February 9, 2023 Thanks for the compliments guys. I've scraped off the other moldings and I'm just one step away from gluing them in place. But I still have my doubts. The thing is it's a bit wider than the monograph mentions. I stayed with Chuck's earlier idea of making the bottom molding wider. So the result that the top is 2.5 mm the middle almost 3 mm and the bottom 3.17 mm. What do you think ? I also made a scraper for the top molding for homogeneity and I will use probably only the finely cleaned spiral laser cut.

Vladimir_Wairoa Posted February 11, 2023 #147 Posted February 11, 2023 just fantastic Dusan. lovely moldings. V. FrankWouts, Saburo and westwood 3
westwood Posted February 11, 2023 Author #148 Posted February 11, 2023 Thanks guys, so I'm going for it, wish me luck. Still the scrapers, I'll just repeat what I wrote on the previous page: I made the scraper from a razor knife freehand with diamond discs and with a magnifying glass. Profil was continually tested and fine-tuned. And the fancy mouldings are scraped with freehand too. No other special tool. But as I wrote I used pear wood. Because in cherry the scraper tended to float and the thickness wasn't consistent either. So harder wood is probably better. Also, the width of the scraper profile must match the width of the prepared strip.
