Rich.F Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share #181 Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) Update before shore leave. Greetings All, Thank you every one for dropping by, Leaving a comment advice or a like. A last update for a month or so while im away... Well The UK Summer is almost over....Did it start and I miss it again..!? I have stripped the bass plates off, re cleaned and primed the hull. As the Wife wanted a good house clean I did not really start anything messy. I have painted the Black strips on the starboard side ATM, a few re do overs for better looking lines.. I did have a few bleeds with the taping but cleaned it up a few touch ups when i get back. Finally the book has arrived today... The nasty person said I can't take it with us on holiday Catch up with you all soon Tc and stay safe and out of trouble...

src Posted October 26, 2014 Share #183 Posted October 26, 2014 Rich, Lawrence brings up a good point, sometimes a break is just what is needed. Or, if you REALLY have to have it, see if there is a kindel version. Then you can honestly say you left it at home!! Somehow I think the Admiral wont see eye to eye with me on that one...Perhaps you might rethink that advice; nothing like a grumpy Admiral with you when on patrol.

Sjors Posted December 3, 2014 Share #186 Posted December 3, 2014 Hi Rich, I have started coppering from the keel. First 3 or four rows before you get the gore line. When you take a look at Mobbsie's Agamemnon. he shows you clearly. Then at the waterline......you can place a little plank or tape to get the last row straight Hope this will help you a little. And no, I'll will not do it for you .......

peterwwebster Posted December 4, 2014 Share #187 Posted December 4, 2014 Hi I have been busy coppering from water line down and I am almost totally befuddled now. I cant help thinking it would have been better to work from the keel up. I think you can run a nice straight line along the bottom of the keel and work up from there. You are still left with a nasty gap between the first line of tiles and the line where the hull joins the keel whichever way you go. I have decided to paint the underside of the keel in copper paint rather than trying to plate it but I don't know how to finish the bow & stern. So far I have tried folding the plates around the stern post and it looks OK but I don't think it will work on the bow. Whichever way you go I think the big issue is keeping the butt joints close and trying to avoid tiny infill bits which I think is impossible. I think I will be left with a few very thin infill bits which I will fill and paint!! I am sure the purists are thinking I am mad but if you are not careful you go mad. Whichever way you go good luck. They tell me this is a form of pleasure but I am having my doubts. I did trawl the internet etc for guidance but I couldn't find any help on the difficult bits so I suspect there is no right way, you just do your best Peter Quote Caldercraft Victory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Posted December 4, 2014 Share #188 Posted December 4, 2014 Hello Rich... Just dropped in on your log and am excited to see how well you are doing. I just completed the Pinnace (ship's boat) whch will be the last thing I do regarding this kit. My model is sitting on its table waiting for the acrylic display cover to arrive. (Please see my log, link below) I was notified this morning that the cover won't be ready for another two weeks, so happily, I'll be able to cover the ship before Christmas and get going on something else. It's good to see another person bulding this kit. Please let me know if I can help you in any way.

Rich.F Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share #189 Posted December 4, 2014 Greetings All, Thank you every one for dropping by, Leaving a comment advice or a like. Sjors: : thanks for the info took a while to find his page. Peter: your right there is no right or wrong way to plate, only advice, which is always gratefully received. Jerry: can't wait to see your ship all tall and great in the case. >> right i have taken all advice pictures and information...and this is how i'm attempting the hull plates v3.0 Starting at the rudder/keel, running all down the false keel until i reach the stem post, then starting center of that should be 21.5 tiles left and right, (this is the total center line), . Moving left and right. adding another row of tiles, mine had to be bent on one edge about 1.5 mm (( keep it straight) I then from the center line See Picture! I now have 6 rows. Tea Break: Now moving forward to the stem post adding tiles from 5,4, 3 ,2,1, and repeat.. I have about 6 on row one now.. Ill add some picture over the week end, Sjors 1 Quote Rich.

Shipyard sid Posted December 8, 2014 Share #191 Posted December 8, 2014 Greetings Rich So here we go again. Keep building down and out. You can make fine adjustments as you go. Infill all the small gaps at once, and don't leave them until the end, it's easier. Good luck this time. DAVID Rich.F 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shihawk Posted December 8, 2014 Share #192 Posted December 8, 2014 I have never copper plated so maybe this is daft but i think i read where some paint the hull copper before plating which would mean that any spaces would not be as noticable .

The Hull is coming along the last few night I have been touching up the paint work, as we have a few friends round for amean so ""wife"" said i need to keep the house clean n tidy. I'm no the last little bit of the hull. I should have this done this weekend, Depending if I get call out into work I have just been looking at the picture, not really noticed it in the UK day light ! , a few area on the bow needs to be buffed out, I this i think ill leave till all the hull is done and give it a good going over in one go.

peterwwebster Posted April 8, 2015 Share #210 Posted April 8, 2015 Your coppering looks great. I found it was possible to run copper paint into the gaps between tiles using a very fine brush. any excess can be wiped off before it dries.
