shipmodel Posted January 28, 2015 #815 Posted January 28, 2015 Hi Mark - Very nice start to the planking, as everyone else has said. A long, smooth curve to the strake. You might try scraping the ebony rather than sanding it. I use a single edged razor blade, which generates scrapings rather than dust and which lift off rather than being rubbed into the grain of the nearby wood. Looking forward to your progress.

mtaylor Posted January 28, 2015 Author #818 Posted January 28, 2015 Thanks for looking in and the "likes" and comments. Hi Mark - Very nice start to the planking, as everyone else has said. A long, smooth curve to the strake. You might try scraping the ebony rather than sanding it. I use a single edged razor blade, which generates scrapings rather than dust and which lift off rather than being rubbed into the grain of the nearby wood. Looking forward to your progress. Dan Dan, I know you're right. I think I'm being stubborn again. I'll sand the pear to "close" to the ebony and finish with the scraping. Wow, that's very nice work Mark. Coming along beautifully. How are you finding working with ebony? Will you use it again in the future? Mike, Let's say ebony is interesting.... the dust is a bear to clean up, it kills blades very quickly and also discolors the tools from the oil. But!!! I love the way it looks. So it's a trade-off. As for using it again? I'm looking into alternatives. I tried some stain on some pear and it didn't take. It takes on boxwood well. Currently, I'm waiting on some Feibling's leather dye to come in. I want to try that using alcohol instead of water. I have to follow the others....... Question, Are you using a whole plank instead of scale planks ????? Sjors Sjors, All scale planks in length, thickness, and width. If I look at the pictures of Hahn's build, I'm not sure he used scale planking but I'm giving it a try. I just need to be slow, patient, and careful. riverboat, Landlubber Mike, GLakie and 3 others 6 Quote Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned)
Sjors Posted January 28, 2015 #819 Posted January 28, 2015 You are using an abacus Mark ? I have to magnify the picture to see the scale planks...... That means you are doing a great job with that planking or is it the meaning that you see the scale of the planks ? Forgive me if I sound stupid....... Colour of my hair or age.......

mtaylor Posted January 28, 2015 Author #820 Posted January 28, 2015 Sjors, The planks are scale size. Thus, a 1 foot (304.8 mm) wide plank in real life is 3/16" (4.7625 mm) wide on the model.

mtaylor Posted February 16, 2015 Author #828 Posted February 16, 2015 Proof of life... it ain't dead yet... The main wale needs sanding as does the next stake down (up in the photo) but I'll hold off until I get more strakes done towards the keel. Planking on the "gun port stripe" (such that it is) is done. I'm still sanding and need to finish opening all the ports and get them shaped.
