modeller_masa Posted February 27, 2022 Share #1 Posted February 27, 2022 Hello, I have a question about debris in the hull. After I finished the first planking and putty work, I realized that something is in the hull and was making the crystal bell sound. I guess it is a wood piece, and I don't know where it is and how it went in. A museum curator may not like it, but I don't care because I won't move it frequently when it's done. However, I would like to know how to eliminate such unexpected particles next time. How do you deal with the debris in the closed hull? mtaylor and thibaultron 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baker Posted February 27, 2022 Share #3 Posted February 27, 2022 I had the same problem with my Revell bounty's plastic hull. Try to get the loose piece somewhere where you can see it. Then drip glue on it. Let it dry Fixed worked for me modeller_masa, mtaylor and thibaultron 3 Quote Regards, Patrick Finished : Soleil Royal Heller 1/100 Wasa Billing Boats Bounty Revell 1/110 plastic (semi scratch) Pelican / Golden Hind 1/45 scratch Current build : Mary Rose 1/50 scratch Gallery : Revell Bounty Pelican/Golden hind 1/45 scratch Shore leave, non ship models build logs : ADGZ M35 funkwagen 1/72 Einhets Pkw.

allanyed Posted February 27, 2022 Share #4 Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) You are not alone. If you watch the Simon Stevens presentation on contemporary models at RMG you will see debris (and other objects) inside the hull of at least one of the 200+ year old models. https://www.thewellingtontrust.org/events/ships-in-miniature-a-brief-overview-of-the-ship-model-from-1800bc-to-the-present/ Allan Edited February 27, 2022 by allanyed mtaylor, davyboy, modeller_masa and 1 other 2 2 Quote PLEASE take 30 SECONDS and sign up for the epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series.

starlight Posted February 27, 2022 Share #5 Posted February 27, 2022 I had this problem on my HMS Fly build. After filling and sanding the first layer of planking, I think some of the filler broke off on the interior and started rattling. It bothered me to no end, so I shook the model strategically to determine between which bulkheads the debris was located in, and cut out a small piece of the planking to remove it. It was only the first planking layer, so not a big deal. -starlight thibaultron, mtaylor and modeller_masa 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
