Shazmira Posted April 21, 2014 #1066 Posted April 21, 2014 Those little added bits add so much interest to the hull.

augie Posted April 21, 2014 Author #1067 Posted April 21, 2014 I have to agree Robbyn. Small as they are, they just keep piling up until one day you sit back and a smile finds its' way to your face. You'll see on Syren once you get the deck down and start working on the fittings and rigging. What you think is leading toward chaos and confusion is suddenly all done and you'll find yourself saying 'I wish there were more to add'. Sounds impossible but it's true. popeye the sailor, newbuilder101, Shazmira and 4 others 7 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
Stuntflyer Posted April 23, 2014 #1068 Posted April 23, 2014 (edited) Hi Augie, I have been following your build logs since I joined MSW recently. Your work is simply beautiful and I hope that I can achieve 1/2 of what you have been able to do in the years to come. Now that my Longboat is ready for some metal work, I have a question regarding your Blacken-it procedure. You wrote: "They are then soaked in a bath of 50% 'Blacken-it'. ." Can you tell me what the bath consists of?

augie Posted April 23, 2014 Author #1069 Posted April 23, 2014 Sure Mike. Blacken-it is a commercially available product. I've seen it in some hobby stores but it is also available through Micro Mark : http://www.micromark.com/SearchResult.aspx?deptIdFilter=0&searchPhrase=blacken+it I've had good luck using it mixed 50/50 with water, after the pre-treatment I listed. But it's the kind of thing you need to play with depending on the metal you're using so always test on some scrap before you commit your prized parts.

augie Posted April 28, 2014 Author #1071 Posted April 28, 2014 After 10 days of doing hand to hand combat with the great outdoors, the shipyard is once again open (on the summer schedule). I've begun on the planking of the inner bulwarks starting in the stern. Still need to do some prep work (fillers, sheaves etc.) before we start on the actual bulwarks. Here's the stern. The majority of it will be invisible once the upper deck, beams and side planking are in place: Good to be back on the job.

Trussben Posted April 28, 2014 #1073 Posted April 28, 2014 Glad to see you back at it Augie, Have you started to thin down the bulwark framing yet? I remember it took me a few days to get it as thin as Chuck recommended. Also I would plank the floors of the QG's now before other planking gets in the way, I found it fiddly to get the pieces the right width etc after the waterway and cabin floor were in place. Hopefully your Spirkiting will line up with the bottom of the gunports like mine did. Good luck Ben james c lusk and augie 2 Quote Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM. HMS Winchelsea.

augie Posted April 28, 2014 Author #1076 Posted April 28, 2014 Thanks for the 'welcome home' and comments, everyone. BEN- Yes, the bulkhead thinning has been done.....just have to add those few 'fillers' and fair them in. Thanks for the tip on the QG floor. Still a ways off. Now on the spirkiting, you KNOW I already eyeballed it . It's going to be close but I'm sure just enough off to create some angst. We'll know soon enough!
