popeye the sailor Posted July 8, 2014 #1249 Posted July 8, 2014 great looking flooring Augie.........you mean to tell me that all this time I was taking the long way around! I never thought to do it that way! that would sure beat playing with individual tiles.....but for what I did, I guess that was the road I had to take I'll have to try this out :) thanks to Chuck as well nice overall look at your progress.....I've been out of the loop {so to speak}. you've really made some terrific progress. look forward in seeing the deck work! augie 1 Quote I yam wot I yam! finished builds: Billings Nordkap 476 / Billings Cux 87 / Billings Mary Ann / Billings AmericA - reissue Billings Regina - bashed into the Susan A / Andrea Gail 1:20 - semi scratch w/ Billing instructions M&M Fun Ship - semi scratch build / Gundalow - scratch build / Jeanne D'Arc - Heller Phylly C & Denny-Zen - the Lobsie twins - bashed & semi scratch dual build Billing T78 Norden in dry dock: Billing's Gothenborg 1:100 / Billing's Boulogne Etaples 1:20 Billing's Half Moon 1:40 - some scratch required Revell U.S.S.

Rustyj Posted July 9, 2014 #1250 Posted July 9, 2014 Hi Augie, That is a very good job on the great cabin floor and doing it with hand tools to boot. I'm glad you did it! The hour counting is interesting too. People ask me how long it took to build and all I can say is years. Now once you are done I'll have a clue.

augie Posted July 13, 2014 Author #1251 Posted July 13, 2014 Sorry to say that summer activities have taken a toll on shop time. I did manage to complete one small piece of deck furniture -- the rudder trunk in the Great Cabin. The kit supplies laser cut parts, some in duplicate: Assembly of the basswood parts is fairly straightforward and the usual pre-stain, diluted Golden Oak stain, WOP and dullcoat was used . The brass hinges were blackened with Blacken-it. The trunk sits in the rear of the cabin tight against the stern lights: Will be carrying out some deck finishing tests prior to laying the deck itself.
