kostas_gr Posted January 3 Share #1 Posted January 3 I haven't finished my latest project, Victory-Corel, and as I wanted to embark on something new this year, I decided to pull Artesania's Hermione from the shelf....a very promising kit. Upon opening the box and unpacking its parts, the high quality is evident from the first glance Bill Morrison, Mr Whippy and ccoyle 3 Quote Current builds: Hermione la Fayette - Artesnia latina 1:89 HMS Victory - Corel 1:98 Completed builds: San Juan Nepomuceno - Artesnia latina 1:90 San Francisco II - Artesnia latina 1:90 Victory cross section - Corel 1:98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kostas_gr Posted January 5 Author Share #2 Posted January 5 The entire hull will receive a complete paint job, eliminating any wood detailing. Following Artesania's guidelines, the next step involves applying putty to the hull. I've decided to plank the hull using the "rule of 3," using 9cm planks (with 3cm repeat mark for each row) Bill Morrison, chris watton and KARAVOKIRIS 3 Quote Current builds: Hermione la Fayette - Artesnia latina 1:89 HMS Victory - Corel 1:98 Completed builds: San Juan Nepomuceno - Artesnia latina 1:90 San Francisco II - Artesnia latina 1:90 Victory cross section - Corel 1:98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kostas_gr Posted February 26 Author Share #8 Posted February 26 I have just finished 7 rows from the left side. I will sand the the 2 planks that somehow I didnt fit them well... These planks are quite thick so I need to bend them very carefully, let them dry well, and adjust them without haste in order to fit correctly. I will sand those planks in order to follow ship's curves I have done some calulations, to check out how much I need to reduce the width of the planks for the bow section.

kostas_gr Posted March 5 Author Share #9 Posted March 5 the upper hull planking is done, next step at this point is creating the portholes, Artesania provides a nice paper layout in order to set them up correctly After placing the layout on the hull, I have noticed that the vertical lines are not fully aligned with hull beams some portholes are very close to hull beams and will be very difficult to install the cannons later , so I have decided to cut the paper layout and slide it a bit (creating a gap) and finally the aligment looks much better now finally before opening the portholes I have marked the centers to drill them first, will be helpfull in a later stage when I have to setup the false cannons.

kostas_gr Posted March 8 Author Share #10 Posted March 8 I have draw the frames on the hull getting ready to cut the off for some reason some port holes are smaller then the others. I have made a "frame sized plank" to meazure and fix the gun ports at the right size Mr Whippy 1 Quote Current builds: Hermione la Fayette - Artesnia latina 1:89 HMS Victory - Corel 1:98 Completed builds: San Juan Nepomuceno - Artesnia latina 1:90 San Francisco II - Artesnia latina 1:90 Victory cross section - Corel 1:98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kostas_gr Posted March 26 Author Share #11 Posted March 26 the inside of the gunports is painted black. 30% (more or less) of hull planking is done The next step will be challenging, bending the planks for the stern will be a hard task Mr Whippy 1 Quote Current builds: Hermione la Fayette - Artesnia latina 1:89 HMS Victory - Corel 1:98 Completed builds: San Juan Nepomuceno - Artesnia latina 1:90 San Francisco II - Artesnia latina 1:90 Victory cross section - Corel 1:98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kostas_gr Posted April 16 Author Share #12 Posted April 16 According to Artesania's instructions, I was supposed to trim three stern planks. However, I decided to attempt bending those planks instead Since this part of the stern will be painted, small gaps won't be an issue for me. My main objective is to ensure the Hull planking is as firm as possible I had to fill some parts of the stern with additional balsa wood to create a sturdy base for the bent planks I had to fill with balsa wood ccoyle, Matt D, jks1981 and 1 other 4 Quote Current builds: Hermione la Fayette - Artesnia latina 1:89 HMS Victory - Corel 1:98 Completed builds: San Juan Nepomuceno - Artesnia latina 1:90 San Francisco II - Artesnia latina 1:90 Victory cross section - Corel 1:98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
