augie Posted May 13, 2015 Author #1753 Posted May 13, 2015 Time for an update and the celebration of a milestone. We've reached 1,000 hours into the build ! The planking of the quarter deck has been completed and some of the details (speaking tube, mizzen rail) added. The deck is planked only to the midline to allow some of the gun deck and great cabin work to be seen: The planking is, of course, Swiss Pear and the treesnails done with the 'drill and fill' method The finish is Natural stain under WOP. I'll provide some more detailed photos as the final details are added. edmay, Script, _SalD_ and 33 others 36 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
GLakie Posted May 13, 2015 #1754 Posted May 13, 2015 Congrats on your milestone Augie! She looks fantastic, especially with that Swiss-Pear deck planking.
