Shipyard sid Posted February 20, 2014 #92 Posted February 20, 2014 Hello dragzz You are doing excellent work on your build, it's coming on fine. Like Lawrence says just take your time and really enjoy it. Cracking stuff. DAVID Quote
Harmstronginga Posted February 21, 2014 #93 Posted February 21, 2014 Do you have a picture of the bow section with the gun supports? They show guns in column lines 1,2 and 3. The drawings indicate enough room but my column lines are to close together unless I cut out some of the column supports. You said you were going to install some supports for the mast but it appears you have blocked yo self out of doing it. Quote

popeye the sailor Posted February 25, 2014 #103 Posted February 25, 2014 it's also something you don't usually see in a build.......and just for the sake of a little extra detail. I'm as detail oriented as the next guy, but there would be a natural feel to it. I'm sure there were times, where the complete gun battery was not needed. build 'er as you see fit..........you'll be much happier for it Quote I yam wot I yam! finished builds: Billings Nordkap 476 / Billings Cux 87 / Billings Mary Ann / Billings AmericA - reissue Billings Regina - bashed into the Susan A / Andrea Gail 1:20 - semi scratch w/ Billing instructions M&M Fun Ship - semi scratch build / Gundalow - scratch build / Jeanne D'Arc - Heller Phylly C & Denny-Zen - the Lobsie twins - bashed & semi scratch dual build Billing T78 Norden in dry dock: Billing's Gothenborg 1:100 / Billing's Boulogne Etaples 1:20 Billing's Half Moon 1:40 - some scratch required Revell U.S.S.

Harmstronginga Posted February 26, 2014 #106 Posted February 26, 2014 If I am reading the instructions correctly it says " Do not detach the thinner parts from the supporting cardboard but cut them out and apply with the latter. This is in the instructions under Assembly Instructions page 22. I am having trouble understanding the stern of the ships hull. It appears the planking wraps around the sides and terminates at the rudder support.Did you modify part extensively? I look at your pictures and I'm not sure what you did. Quote
Harmstronginga Posted February 26, 2014 #107 Posted February 26, 2014 A suggestion I might make to you is to paint the gun supports a brown or a black, With the gunmounts open it is possible to see the inside of the hull if not painted. This was recommended in the instrutions from a previous model I built. Just a suggestion. Quote
Harmstronginga Posted February 27, 2014 #108 Posted February 27, 2014 Dragzz your question stirred the interest in me. I took the piece that has the bow deck supports (4 pieces) and cut them out with a pair of scissors and a sharp knife. As I trimed the pieces, the cardboard backing begin to separate from the plastic. I didn't pull it off completely but it will come off easily. It appears the back can be lightly sanded and then painted if required. I am waiting on others to respond. Quote
dragzz Posted February 27, 2014 Author #109 Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) tys harm thats good to know i will try it when i get to that stage going to start planking soon just waiting on wood to get to me still. i know about the black paint for the gun ports tys for the great info Edited February 27, 2014 by dragzz Quote this is my dry docks side build hms victory/corel http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/4698-hms-victroy-by-dragzz-corel-scale-198/ side build waiting on parts /king of the mississippi/ al kit http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/3490-king-of-the-mississippi-by-dragzz-al-scale180/?hl=%20king%20%20the%20%20mississipp current build mare nostrum al kit http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/8125-mare-nostrum-by-artesania-latina-scale-135-by-dragzz-small/
Harmstronginga Posted February 27, 2014 #110 Posted February 27, 2014 This morning looking at the model I realized the some of the gun mounts are away from basic supports. I was wondering if when you cut the planking for the gun holes would the necessary support be there. I am thinking that a vertical support might be required around the edge of the opening. The opening is about 10 mm sq plus framing. What do you think? I value your opinion as you model looks great. dragzz 1 Quote
dragzz Posted February 27, 2014 Author #111 Posted February 27, 2014 hello harm i agree with u on the vertical support for the gun ports i think it will help iam just looking at diff ways to deal with it befor i start to plank the ship i will let u know soon what iam going to do with it Quote this is my dry docks side build hms victory/corel http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/4698-hms-victroy-by-dragzz-corel-scale-198/ side build waiting on parts /king of the mississippi/ al kit http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/3490-king-of-the-mississippi-by-dragzz-al-scale180/?hl=%20king%20%20the%20%20mississipp current build mare nostrum al kit http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/8125-mare-nostrum-by-artesania-latina-scale-135-by-dragzz-small/

Harmstronginga Posted March 1, 2014 #114 Posted March 1, 2014 Dragzz I do not have a ships log. I don't have that capability. I sure am glad you have one. The way I see your planking is that it should follow the deck line. It is not run straighyt as you have it. Quote
