Rustyj Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share #124 Posted July 10, 2014 Hi Ben, Is it an issue with the planking or the framing?? I also notice that the pics seem to show 4 runs of planking landing on the same bulkhead I think it is a bit of both on my part where I didn't duplicate the run of the gun ports on both sides as close as I thought I did and then the laying of the planking may have had some minor creep to it too. We're talking 1/32" to 3/64". The good part is the run of the planks is uniform at the top of the frames. The planks all landing on the one frame were due to my error in laying the first few rows at the bow I mentioned awhile ago and instead of ripping off all the planks I only went back to the point that the run went astray. This part will be covered by the second layer of planking so I took the easiest route to correct it. Thanks Chuck. Having a lot of fun here when I can get some free time. Hi Augie, Thanks, imperceptible it's not, but acceptable it is . Once she's done 95% will be covered or blocked anyways! Thanks everyone for all the "likes" too it is appreciated. mtaylor, augie and Trussben 3 Quote Rusty "So Long For Now" Current Builds: Speedwell Completed Build Logs: HMS Winchelsea 1/48 Duchess of Kingston USF Confederacy , US Brig Syren , Triton Cross Section , Bomb Vessel Cross Section, Cutter Cheerful, Queen Anne Barge, Medway Longboat Completed Build Gallery: Brig Syren , 1870 Mississippi Riverboat , 1949 Chris-Craft 19' Runabout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustyj Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share #127 Posted July 18, 2014 Thank you Bob and Mark. Much appreciated. Well I've commenced with adding the wales. The second layer is 1/16" x 5/32" just like the first layer of planking. The black strake is 1/32" x 5/32". At the bow the black strake is sanded down to 1/64" thick while the wales well be left slightly thicker than that. The anchor lining was traced onto the wales and black strake. The lining over the wales is 1/32" thick while the portion over the black strake is 1/16". Here all but the piece over the black strake have been added. fatih79, Ryland Craze, Trussben and 22 others 25 Quote Rusty "So Long For Now" Current Builds: Speedwell Completed Build Logs: HMS Winchelsea 1/48 Duchess of Kingston USF Confederacy , US Brig Syren , Triton Cross Section , Bomb Vessel Cross Section, Cutter Cheerful, Queen Anne Barge, Medway Longboat Completed Build Gallery: Brig Syren , 1870 Mississippi Riverboat , 1949 Chris-Craft 19' Runabout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trussben Posted July 19, 2014 Share #130 Posted July 19, 2014 Hey Rusty, looks great but did you mistakenly use a strip of pear on the second strake of the wales? Looks a lot darker?

Rustyj Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share #132 Posted July 20, 2014 Thank you very much Joe, Bob, Ben and Jim and to everyone who posted a like too! Ben, I didn't mix up the wood types but I could have as it's going to be painted. All throughout the wales I used some old pieces I had left over and cut them up. The colors varied greatly from gray/brown to light brown and grainy looking. I figured it was a good place to use up some "scrap" boxwood up. Here is the anchor lining done. On this side you will noticed I took a lazy way out. The top piece over the black strake was about a 1/64" too narrow and seeing again that it's going to be painted I just left the gap and filled it. Now the directions call for painting the wales now prior to planking the hull. My thought is I'm a rough hull planker as I put in my lap, tip it upside down ect. I usually scratch the paint all up and have to repaint it. So I'm just going to apply one thin coat just to see if any imperfections show up and then fix them. Then it's on to laying out the planking belts for the hull, mill the wood and then plank it. That will be good for 2-3 months of cussing.

Rustyj Posted July 26, 2014 Author Share #142 Posted July 26, 2014 OK I've been continuing my work on the wales and black strake. The first picture you will see one coat of black paint applied. I then went over the wales sanding some and taking care of a couple of joints that weren't as tight as I thought they were. Just put a dab of glue on the crack and sanded it. And here you see it with a second "wafer thin" coat of paint. So far that is it! I'll be spending the next few days trying to lay out the run of the planks and not bugging Chuck to much while doing it.

Rustyj Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share #148 Posted July 27, 2014 Thanks for all your help Chuck! Hi Bob, Thank you, you're too kind. Thank you Greg. Hi Augie, Still waiting for your address though they may be a bit stall by the time the post office gets them there. Thanks Dirk. Hi Floyd. So far just 2 coats though there will be many more before she's done. I use acrylic paint and thin it about 50/50 with water. I'll eventually switch to artists paints in the tube like Chuck uses but I still have this black paint left and I like it's matt finish. Also thank you all for all the likes. It's very much appreciated. mtaylor 1 Quote Rusty "So Long For Now" Current Builds: Speedwell Completed Build Logs: HMS Winchelsea 1/48 Duchess of Kingston USF Confederacy , US Brig Syren , Triton Cross Section , Bomb Vessel Cross Section, Cutter Cheerful, Queen Anne Barge, Medway Longboat Completed Build Gallery: Brig Syren , 1870 Mississippi Riverboat , 1949 Chris-Craft 19' Runabout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
