augie Posted December 10, 2013 Author #632 Posted December 10, 2013 Time for an update. Not that I've achieved a major milestone but I need to take a break to handle some 'real life'. Most of the planking above the wales has been completed P/S. The gun ports on the gun and quarter decks are completed. I've touched up the gun port red and done the first coarse sanding. There are still about 4 rows of planks to finish up the main wale. Then I'll be able to final sand and begin finishing on this section. The sweep ports will be installed, the double planking on the wales put on and I need to decide what will be painted and what will be stained. Treenailing is also on the docket. Sounds like a plan ---- right into 2014! Stay well, mates. lb0190, egkb, SkerryAmp and 24 others 27 Quote Augie Current Build: US Frigate Confederacy - MS 1:64 Previous Builds : US Brig Syren (MS) - 2013 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Greek Tug Ulises (OcCre) - 2009 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Victory Cross Section (Corel) - 1988 Essex (MS) 1/8"- 1976 Cutty Sark (Revell 1:96) - 1956

augie Posted December 11, 2013 Author #641 Posted December 11, 2013 Thanks for the kind thoughts everyone. Andy -- keep up the great work on that styrene. That stuff scares me. Your Confed will wait patiently. Robert -- yes, hull is close to 3 feet long. Rusty -- don't even want to think about treenails (yet). The run is not bad. For those not aware, that's Rusty's scratch Confed in his avatar. Have a look!

augie Posted December 11, 2013 Author #646 Posted December 11, 2013 I'm going to stick with the 'filler' method Bob. I just need to get the color right....I was a little too light on Syren and, although they added a nice 'texture', I'm looking for something perhaps more like your current Essex. Chuck has supplied a great treenail pattern on the plans but it may be a bit too intense for my taste. We'll see. mtaylor 1 Quote Augie Current Build: US Frigate Confederacy - MS 1:64 Previous Builds : US Brig Syren (MS) - 2013 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Greek Tug Ulises (OcCre) - 2009 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Victory Cross Section (Corel) - 1988 Essex (MS) 1/8"- 1976 Cutty Sark (Revell 1:96) - 1956

Chuck Posted December 11, 2013 #648 Posted December 11, 2013 Looking good Augie. Should you choose another treenail pattern remember to still go small. Anything larger than a #78 drill bit would probably be too large and historically inaccurate. Although it is a matter of personal taste. Going with Bob's pattern is also not accurate so its just a matter of going with what you like. You dont want the model to look like it has the measles. But thats a long way off. Try a few tests on some scrap first.
