James H Posted May 15, 2023 Author #77 Posted May 15, 2023 One last small update as I'm heading off to watch TV with my better half. Grecian now has her flag. This is sprayed in a mild starch solution, weighted with croc clips until dry, and then small spots of PVA used to tack into final position. ccoyle, markjay, BobG and 18 others 19 2 Quote SAY NO TO PIRACY.

DB789 Posted May 17, 2023 #78 Posted May 17, 2023 She looks fantastic. Does anyone know a good beginners resource or a log on here on how to copper a ship’s hull? In particular, how do you get the waterline cut straight? I’m very keen to build Grecian, but I need to master coppering.

All I did was run a single strip of tape along the keel, up against hull. From there I just added the plates in a brick fashion. That single run of tape can then later be scribed to fit the brick pattern. Add the tape plates above the waterline and then add a feint waterline over the copper. Use a fresh blade and cut along the line before removing the excess from above the waterline. markjay, Glenn-UK, Kevin and 4 others 4 3 Quote SAY NO TO PIRACY.

myxyzptlyk2003 Posted June 26, 2023 #81 Posted June 26, 2023 Currently on step 69 of my Grecian. Please note that the two parts noted in step 69 ( 57 and 58) are labeled 58P and 5SS on my 1mm wood sheet. As a future upgrade it would have been nice to see a close up picture of the bow tapering at this point in order to get the proper taper and alignment at the bow. (I did find a useful close up at step 115) thibaultron 1 Quote
