Rustyj Posted September 23, 2013 Share #242 Posted September 23, 2013 It looks like you are doing very well there Augie. The stern can be a pain if you don't take your time and double check. Well done! Bob, You can always order a Confederacy and build it with Augie while they straighten out the Essex. augie 1 Quote Rusty "So Long For Now" Current Builds: Speedwell Completed Build Logs: HMS Winchelsea 1/48 Duchess of Kingston USF Confederacy , US Brig Syren , Triton Cross Section , Bomb Vessel Cross Section, Cutter Cheerful, Queen Anne Barge, Medway Longboat Completed Build Gallery: Brig Syren , 1870 Mississippi Riverboat , 1949 Chris-Craft 19' Runabout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
augie Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share #243 Posted September 23, 2013 I have the idea that if Bob wanted a Confederacy, he'd scratch build one. There was some guy named Rusty who did that . His trailblazing on Essex, especially considering it's teething pains, should be more interesting ! trippwj 1 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...

Trussben Posted September 24, 2013 Share #251 Posted September 24, 2013 Hi Augie, I have a pen sander but it's the proxon version, much the same I would imagine. Mine came with a few different pads of different shapes and grits but the paper itself doesn't hold up so well I find, wears out real quick, so I just use some normal 80/150/220 grit paper and double sided tape to make my own pads, lasts longer too and much cheaper than buying them.

gjdale Posted September 24, 2013 Share #252 Posted September 24, 2013 Hi Augie, I've been off the air for a while as we were "sans Internet" while in Venice. On the way home now, laying over in London overnight before the long haul back to Oz, and finally had the opportunity to get another MSW fix. Your Confed is looking great - lots of progress since I last checked in! Those pen sanders really are the ducks guts. I have the Proxxon version (to overcome the power supply issue) and used it extensively when I was doing the re-build of my Victory stern. An absolute must have in my opinion. trippwj 1 Quote Grant ____________________________________________________ Current builds: African Queen - Radio Control / Live Steam Previous builds: The Shipyard at Foss' Landing (Diorama), Hannah - Ship in a Bottle, NRG Capstan Project, 1869 Allerton Steam Pumper, Medway Longboat , Alfa Romeo Spider Gran Touring (Pocher) , Da Vinci Flying Machine, 1949 Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout - Dumas - Radio, Bomb Vessel Granado, 1742 - Cross Section - Scratchbuild, HMS Victory (Mamoli 1:90), Cutty Sark, Armed Pinnace, Bounty, Santa Maria At another place: Stephenson's Rocket (OcCre 1:24) (click the title to follow the link) In the Gallery: Lancia Armata 1803, Bomb Vessel Granada, 1742 Cross Section, 1949 Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
augie Posted September 24, 2013 Author Share #253 Posted September 24, 2013 Grant -- Have a safe trip home! Didn't know they had moose in London John -- I think BE is talking about the winding around the anchor ring. We'll see !!! Ben -- Mine came the same way with the sanding pads. Fortunately I have rolls and rolls of 100/150/220 grit sticky back sandpaper that I use for sanding blocks on the aircraft. I get it from Tower Hobbies. I'm used to using 12 - 24" at a time (at 2" width).

I just received several rolls from Tower Hobbies and have some the Great Planes hand sanders. Never built a plane but they work great on my ship models.

augie Posted September 25, 2013 Author Share #255 Posted September 25, 2013 (edited) More progress soon Rusty. Yup, those aluminum sanding bars come in handy on ships as well. I use the 6 and 12" mostly. For that Bomb vessel of yours my 24" might come in handy And that stick back sandpaper can be used to make custom wood blocks as well!

augie Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share #257 Posted September 26, 2013 Just a quick update. The stern gun ports have been laid in: As they are vertical to the deck, they do not match the angle of the canted stern frames. I used plywood spacers to set the height and width of the ports so (hopefully) they are accurate. Just need to add a few support fillers to the stern and fair them in. Then it's on to the false deck mobbsie, SkerryAmp, Shazmira and 9 others 12 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...
