GLakie Posted March 13, 2015 #1682 Posted March 13, 2015 I have to agree. Went over the log myself, and decided right then to come back and refer to it for various phases of my build, when I start it. Excellent reference material. augie 1 Quote GEORGE Don't be bound by the limits of what you already know, be unlimited by what you are willing to learn. Member of the Nautical Research Guild

Canute Posted March 13, 2015 #1684 Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) Great work, Augie. Good technique abounds. Up here in the Smokies, we can work outside, so we can enjoy the fresh air and do a little modeling. I do wish I had screened in my deck area, though.

augie Posted March 22, 2015 Author #1686 Posted March 22, 2015 Have finally made some headway on getting the rails installed. I'm working from stern to stem so we began with the quarterdeck and stern rails: All of the rails are 3/16 x 1/16 boxwood and are faced on the hull side with 1/16 x 1/16 basswood molding which was beaded using a scraper. The camera is simply not picking this up due to the black color but it's there. It will be more distinct on the forward railings where the molding will be natural. Then stern rail was a bit of a challenge as it's a compound curve which was made by a combination of lateral and edge bending. It would definitely be easier to fabricate from wider stock (thereby eliminating the edge bend). But I love a challenge and needed more wood in my scrap box . Will be moving forward now as Confed competes with the great outdoors and it's associated activities. trippwj, Barbossa, egkb and 30 others 33 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

KenW Posted March 24, 2015 #1693 Posted March 24, 2015 Great work as usual. I guess the rails are supposed to be black. I like the look of black rails with the edge (where us used 1/16 x 1/16 scraped boxwood) either painted yellow. Or using boxwood or holly. Anyway, your wood working skills are second to none. Cheers.

HIPEXEC Posted March 31, 2015 #1697 Posted March 31, 2015 Thanks to all for looking in. Managed to make some progress. The inner bulwark planking on the quarterdeck has been completed. C - 271.JPG C - 272.JPG Now we'll concentrate on getting the rails on all around. Hope everyone is ready for the (long awaited) change of seasons. Here, in the Northern Hemisphere, it means a decrease in shop time as the great outdoors beckons. But I hope you all have had a healthy and productive winter 'building season'. Your woodworking is remarkable! Nice work!

augie Posted April 11, 2015 Author #1698 Posted April 11, 2015 The main railings, along with the hances, volutes and beaded moldings have been completed: With the bulwarks (finally) sealed off, it's almost time to start on the planking of the quarterdeck. But first we'll be adding some hatches, coamings and companionways. Hope everyone is feeling shipshape and being productive!
