Then to add the second planking, the wales, and the rest of the decorations. And then to paint to match the rest of the ship.

GrandpaPhil Posted October 30, 2023 Author Share #281 Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) Thank you all very much! I have been having a lot of fun with this model! The poop deck is on: Once everything dries completely, I will add some trim, trim some areas that need trimmed for the rest of the hull sides, fix some areas that were over zealously trimmed, paint the interior portions of the hull sides, seal those areas and install the hull sides. Then on to installing wales, second planking, and the hull decorations that 16th century ships were so well known for.

Loracs Posted November 7, 2023 Share #286 Posted November 7, 2023 second planking: so much fun the first time... let do it a second time. Unlike the first planking you have no bulkheads to clamp. I found that using 120mm length planks so much easier to handle and glue. You just need to get the wale plank right... then it is use as guide for planking the whole. Just my 2-cents as a beginner... you may have alternate approach yourself. I can't wait to see the results, fellow Revenge"R".

GrandpaPhil Posted November 7, 2023 Author Share #287 Posted November 7, 2023 (edited) The good thing about paper planks is that they are easy to shape. I typically can use PVA glue, sometimes reinforced with a little CA, to keep everything in place. The tedious part is cutting the cardstock into long strips.

GrandpaPhil Posted November 16, 2023 Author Share #288 Posted November 16, 2023 I’ve got the Revenge on hold because I’m working on my wife’s Christmas gifts. She bought 5 small dollhouse kits and room boxes and asked me to build them for her for Christmas. I’m on 3 out of 5. Out of curiosity, do any of the rest of you make Christmas and/or birthday gifts for your spouse or other close family/friends?

My love for sailing ships and need to see them in 3D causes me to tangle with skills that by no means come natural. I wish I was more of a craftsman- and I wish I had more space and time for it too! Hope you’re enjoying those dollhouses! Not a bad distraction. Meriadoc Canute, mtaylor and GrandpaPhil 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandpaPhil Posted November 19, 2023 Author Share #290 Posted November 19, 2023 The dollhouses have been an interesting change of pace. I have learned a few tricks that can be applied to my ships. That is most of the furniture for the coffee shop one, which is the one I’m currently working on.

There was a time when I created part of the gifts themselves, in addition to bought presents, but lack of time prevented that ever since. I'd still put something together when asked to, of course. Nice coffee shop. Revenge is coming along nicely as well, when the red part is planked and not red anymore, it will make quite a difference in appearance!

Loracs Posted December 9, 2023 Share #300 Posted December 9, 2023 I don't know how you can work with cardboard has building material. I can see that it will be easy to form each piece but... holding it together to get the shape of the ship just right, that seen to be an art form. It seen so fragile. Well done.
