Good evening everyone

day 81 forepeak upper start of stbd side frames

lots done in last couple of days, 

forepeak upper module made up quite a nice little project, putting into position might be a different story

all the top deck transverse frames are now in place, and with a slight adjustment they will sit flush

spent 3 hours this morning removing 170 plus frames, did that before taking the boi out for walkies at 0700

Kev,

how rigid is the structure now? I guess it is incredibly stiff, i mean much more than we think. And the ship's side yet to install, which give the full structural strength in reality... I think your model has to avoid of bend but nothing else, although i'm a computer engineer and not a structural one so it is my rough estimation.

the port side is quite secure now, i was going to leave a lot of the stbd side open (cutaway) but i may Have to put the frames in, to get the hull plates lined up, just to remove a lot of it, its just another of my idea's / intention, but not fully thought it through lol

I love the cutaway concept - such big and detailed model is crying for inside looks naturally.

something like this still appeals to me

good evening everyone

thank you for comments and likes

 

Day 83 deck and hull plates

 

continuing with the stbd side i have put a few deck plates on

i am using tacky glue which is just a thick PVA and i am finding it was dropping between the transverse beams, so i  changed the way i am doing it by putting a brown tape over the beams with ca glue and then pva on top of them to put the plates on, it seams to be going down ok

 

update

the plates that were dropping slightly between the beams has now sorted itself out now its dry

the hull plates are just tacked on, as the bilge plates are still to be found, cut out and put on

 

loving this build

hi guys

good evening everyone

thank you for comments and likes, the wife is much better now

day 91 stbd side hull and bilge plates

 

even though the wife was ill, i still made sure a did a bit on the the build every day, maybe an hour tops, but back on it today 

the kit is quite clever considering, its my modelling that lets it down, but even that seams to have been taken into account, and so far the plates have gone on ok

the sticky tape under the plates is my idea, and im happy i went down that road, i have ensured a better contact with the frames, and yes the tape has been glued as well so that the whole lot does not fall off

 

the bottom of the hull plates shows the position for the top of the relevant bilge plate

IMG_3777.thumb.JPG.9b7844253bb4ffe244f1d37ba9d561da.JPG

once i was happy the bilge plate was in the correct position i secured the hull plate over it

IMG_3779.thumb.JPG.0e07efed18548b187271511e766182cc.JPGIMG_3780.thumb.JPG.6be3eaac3e411b4912cfb9cbf22f71ed.JPGIMG_3781.thumb.JPG.f284d2ef6e6192d75db283cccc616d9a.JPGIMG_3786.thumb.JPG.f3119d01af16760c916bd40d7ef819b0.JPG

as we get to the pointy end smaller plates are laid under the sheerstrake, these take a bit of adjusting to sit properly i will tape over these butt joints later on

 

 

IMG_3787.thumb.JPG.37017c576d1e0ef2fdd372a86bccb106.JPG

i just laid another coat of varnish over, hence looking a bit wrinkly

She is looking amazing mate, is that a  scale figure  towards the bow?

 

Glad your wife is on the mend mate.

Impressive!

I know it is part of the fun, but it is a shame that alll thise frames and deck structures are disappearing behind the outer skin ;)

 

Jan

morning Jan only on the port side, a lot of stbd will be left opened up, i, just finding a way around of doing it, without the upper deck collapsing under the weight

it wont be this much as  the bow/stern will be skinned

SD14 day 95 port side hull plating

 

persevering with the build, although in all honesty it is not turning out as expected, however it is still enjoyable

Good evening everyone

 

Day 96 hull plating forward Port side

 

the kit is wrong and it messed me up quite a bit

some of the hull plates are marked up incorrectly and the hull plates that overlap the bilge plates are also incorrectly identified, and the wrong size, so i had to remove some and make others to fit, I think it is right now 

IMG_3840.thumb.JPG.137c287d59d52046ab7674a082387385.JPGIMG_3844.thumb.JPG.a21d2e6f1fd44ecbb50f4d5f4714237a.JPG

The dotted line on the F plates should be on E, and as a result i forgot to over lap the bilge plates, so ripped them out 

IMG_3846.thumb.JPG.f1b9c0d1913d947deb6f251d8e4f8ccb.JPGIMG_3849.thumb.JPG.af89008c92fc7fded15015cdee90afae.JPGIMG_3850.thumb.JPG.8a764b330139fd71d239e13f47505fc5.JPG

and did them again

all the G plates have to be made taller as they then forgot about the overlap 

 

tonight's experiment hiding the seam lines, paper tape and then varnished

the milky look is wet varnish
