augie Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share #1843 Posted July 26, 2015 Things have been a bit slow in the yard as the chief shipwright, deciding to use as #11 blade as a chisel, added his DNA to the build. No major damage but a painful reminder that it's impossible to do the fiddly bits with bandaged fingers. However, we did manage to get a start on the foredeck. Here, we've added some coamings, companionways, and a second fife rail. Note the chimney for the stove below. I love that stove, now 80% invisible. But we know it's down there ! mspringer, Sjors, GuntherMT and 37 others 40 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

augie Posted August 13, 2015 Author Share #1854 Posted August 13, 2015 Thank you, Lawrence. Need to apologize for the lack of progress lately. Too much going on ---- and another 2 weeks of non-shipbuilding activity on the horizon. Fortunately, I have all of the great folks here continuing to make progress on their projects so I'm still in the loop --- and eager to get back. See you in September !

yancovitch Posted August 15, 2015 Share #1855 Posted August 15, 2015 doubt if i can make such a clean job like you're doing, but you sure inspire me to try.......how did you clean the laser burn off the deck beams....they seem rather deep......i'm afraid of distorting them.....

augie Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share #1856 Posted August 15, 2015 Just the usual sanding with 150/220/400 grit paper. But it depends on the amount of laser burn. I had some sheets where it was quite severe and this could be what you have. My problem was on the hanging and lodging knees and I had to resort to making them mostly from scratch. Sorry, but I don't have a magic bullet.

augie Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share #1860 Posted August 27, 2015 Life has slowed down enough to put in some time in the workshop. Continuing on the foredeck, we've installed the belfry and the cap for the deck beam that supports the stanchions for another railing. Next will be fitting the waterways and margin planks for the deck itself. I've decided to reverse the partial deck plan used in the stern so that the port side will be left open forward. This will allow a partial internal view from either side of the ship. realworkingsailor, Dubz, Gahm and 22 others 25 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
