Rich.F Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share #91 Posted July 1, 2014 Just Sat Down to start a few more gun ports, realized and thought,There is no more 1x10mm, there was only one length I have 5x16m lengths, am I using the wrong size for the gun ports? Oh what a great end to a rubbish day! Time to make a coffee and re read the book. Quote Rich.

schnu Posted July 1, 2014 Share #92 Posted July 1, 2014 =/ Well I hope you weren`t using the wrong one, but otherwise you can just buy some more wood, which isn`t even bad, as it is always good to have spare wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shipyard sid Posted July 1, 2014 Share #95 Posted July 1, 2014 Hello rich I am not sure which gunports you are lining, but if you are lining the middle and lower deck ports you should be using 1mm x 6mm walnut.

PrimoDude Posted July 5, 2014 Share #101 Posted July 5, 2014 Congrats rich... How do you hide something this big.. and build noisy.. ?? Hey.. That's exactly the sander I use here too.. In the USA. And thanks for the 4th Greetings. God Bless the Queen as well. Another toy that I find indispensable is the small Dremel rechargeable drill. I cannot get along without it putting on the side planks. I predrill my holes partially, and then the nail.. and a hammer. Forget the push pin gizzy.. I started with it, then got the drill. No regrets.. Again. congrats.. I rarely give structural advice, as there are super model builders here to do that. Thankfully. I lean on them a lot.

Im happy with it now. I now need to start lining the lower gun ports.. Not a task I'm looking forward to.... Kevin 1 Quote Rich.

Rich.F Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share #113 Posted August 5, 2014 After some help, I have lost a few part of the lining, I spent about 45min setting up and then trying out some linings, but stopped as I was a little tried, and tbh was not in the mood to do any to much, i'm still aching from the weekends, ( I got a new tattoo, a few word so celebrate my 15th weeding anniversary) and along day at work with a "" I know it all... and I got I wrong ... Apprentice"") Anyway.. Q1" is there a good way of doing this? Q2" What about, putting a match stick style level with the opening before lining? thank you in advance Quote Rich.

Shipyard sid Posted August 6, 2014 Share #116 Posted August 6, 2014 Hello rich If you simply want to add internal shelves inside the gun ports to support the linings , you can also make a simple tool. A few builders have done this. Use 2mm x 2mm balsa for the shelves as you can easily trim it if it is out of position once it's glued. Here's a simple tool you can make to help.

I have filled a few that i think looked a little out of place, but happy with them. No rushing sat there watching Tv and a Movie... The first Picture is me watching Moves on my Tablet as the wife wanted to watch something else, Ill Be working of the port side middle gun ports next tomorrow at some port.
