mtaylor Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share #845 Posted March 11, 2015 I guess it's about time I did something.... Gunport stripe (for lack of a better nomenclature) has been sanded, re-sanded, ports cut, re-sanded some more, gaps filled and sanded again... I've applied one coat of wipe on poly to the stripe and to the counter to protect it. Anyway... onward to the port side. Once the port side is finished, I'll add the ebony chain wales and the French version of the billboard which runs from the stem, past the first port to the start of the second port.

GLakie Posted March 11, 2015 Share #847 Posted March 11, 2015 I agree with Augie! From the perspective in the first pic, she looks to be about 4 feet long.

giampieroricci Posted March 12, 2015 Share #861 Posted March 12, 2015 I guess it's about time I did something.... Gunport stripe (for lack of a better nomenclature) has been sanded, re-sanded, ports cut, re-sanded some more, gaps filled and sanded again...

Any advice, etc. is always appreciated. Exscuse me, Mark.... From the first picture I see that the plank of ebony has not a curvature harmonious but has edges a bit 'too accentuated. This could affect the lines and the beauty of the model! You still have time to correct this error!

mtaylor Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share #862 Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the likes and the comments. Gianpiero, You are quite right. I haven't sanded nor shaped the ebony strip and the thick strip above it (in the picture). This will be taken care of next as I want to have the planking at the gunports done and finish applied to protect them on both sides first. Thanks for being another set of eyes... Edit: I've studied it again on the ship. If I can't fix it, I'll rip it off and re-do it but right now, it looks fixable since it's still rough.

mtaylor Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share #863 Posted April 14, 2015 I've planked the starboard side gun port strip and on both sides added the ebony chain wale and the ebony bow area planking. There's two areas that are unplanked in the chain wale where the channels will fit. Things look wet because of the first coat of wipe-on poly. Footnote.. I'm more than a bit chuffed as the chain wales (port and starboard) are within 2 scale inches of each other. I'll now go around to the other side, and sand the ebony bow planking. It's there but really rough before the next update. firdajan, UpstateNY, IgorSky and 42 others 45 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just one question mate, Ebony is not an easy material to work with, how did you find bending it around the bow.? I like the use of this wood but have only used it once and that was just a straight strip, I do however have to use a bit later in my build. Gonna be fun me thinks.
