michael mott Posted July 22, 2014 #181 Posted July 22, 2014 Antony the section looks like it is nearly finished. The film you mentioned for the copper plates how does is follow all the surface modulations or is it some sort of spray?

AntonyUK Posted July 23, 2014 Author #182 Posted July 23, 2014 Hi. Thanks for your nice comments and likes Michael . The film is very thin and flexible 100% clear plastic. It comes in a roll in many widths. Needs a lot of care putting it on as there is NO second chance to get it right. Would not be suitable for normal hull as there is very little stretch in the film.

AntonyUK Posted October 22, 2014 Author #189 Posted October 22, 2014 Hi Richard. I would not recommend using the film on a curved hull. Very little stretch. You can spray on a film. Link below. http://www.ipmsstockholm.org/magazine/2002/11/stuff_eng_tech_sea_water.htm I have NOT tested this but it should be fine. Regards Antony.

AntonyUK Posted July 21, 2015 Author #191 Posted July 21, 2015 Hi. Well its the end of this build and its been a nice steady build. Started in September 2013. with a couple of breaks IE summer holidays. Daughters wedding. A few photos are in order.. The Enclosure is made from Fire resting poly-carbonate, as its Health and Safety thing. Top .bottom and back are 12mm plywood. There is also a Mirror at the back of the model..Gives it more depth. Doctor Who cheat. The Red button is a press to make switch. and holds the power on for 30 seconds. Lights that are in the Hold and Orlop deck flicker like oil lamps. The two Dolphins are carved from Boxwood (not by me) . Local shop sells then cheap. I did not put gravel into the hold in order to keep the weight down. The drawings are bits that I had lying around.. They cover the plywood nicely. The tape measure is showing the physical size of the enclosure I really appreciate the help and encouragement you people have given me throughout this build. I would also like to thank my friend Roy for supplying my with the timber for the build. And of course the person who keeps everything running in the house while I have my head buried in the model. Marian. And all the likes... There are soooooo many. Any questions.. Please ask. Regards Antony.

AntonyUK Posted August 4, 2015 Author #200 Posted August 4, 2015 Hi Paul. Thank you for your nice comments. I always keep my saw blades sharp and feed the wood into the saw at a slow and constant speed. Also keeping the wood pressed against the guide. If the wood is on show I will pull a sharp edge across the length. This makes it almost planed finish. As far as the grates.. There are some brilliant tutorial on MSW that cover making gratings. Most of what I have done I have learnt from this Forum. And welcome to MSW by the way.
