MEDDO Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share #301 Posted May 11, 2017 Thank you Dave. And thanks for all the likes everyone. I'm now in the process of building all of these items off the ship as I do as soon as I attatch something to the hull it's probably going to break off when I move it around. Once everything is completely built and painted up that I will have an "attachment party". rafine 1 Quote Michael Shipwrights of Ohio Current Build: ...

MEDDO Posted May 19, 2017 Author Share #308 Posted May 19, 2017 A couple days ago I cut up some black paper and taped it to the wales to see how it looked. I kind of liked it however I am a little bit concerned about painting it black as the wood has already seen some wipe on poly. After seeing Bob's Halifax post where he painted it i've decided I really like it. I will test out there small piece of the leftover wood this weekend. Will use the wipe on poly let it dry and then I will lightly sand it and then paint it to see how it comes out. Here are a few pictures with and without. p.s. I'm going to have to give up my super awesome model stand blocks that I've been using for the last few years and figure something more permanent for the final mounting.

MEDDO Posted May 20, 2017 Author Share #309 Posted May 20, 2017 Wales painted tonight. I also had to shorten the deadeye chains as the first set was way too long. They ended up on the wales. Was pretty simple to cut out a few mm and then re-solder the pieces back together. Some of these new skills are pretty handy. archjofo, Ryland Craze, Tigersteve and 4 others 7 Quote Michael Shipwrights of Ohio Current Build: ...

MEDDO Posted May 20, 2017 Author Share #314 Posted May 20, 2017 Thanks Steve, Bob, Rossi and B.E. and for all the likes. The additional contrast looks really nice in person. All of the wood tones were very close in color. Although next time I think I'll do it properly and paint/stain it prior to adding the wood.

MEDDO Posted May 21, 2017 Author Share #315 Posted May 21, 2017 So here is the beginning of the end. When connecting the metal to the wood I used a drop of CA and unfortunately a bit leaked out but overall to the naked eye it looks pretty good. overall should of made the straps much longer but this was all of the brass strip included in the kit. Next time.... archjofo, Ryland Craze, DocBlake and 3 others 6 Quote Michael Shipwrights of Ohio Current Build: ...

MEDDO Posted May 28, 2017 Author Share #320 Posted May 28, 2017 Thanks Dave. I think I have only an hour or two until I can call it complete. My super awesome foam stand has to be replaced with something more suitable. And I need to order up some rope (to rig anchors) as the stuff supplied is total garbage. The kit has overall been great but when I pulled out the rope I found it is pretty much post office packing twine....yuk. Quote Michael Shipwrights of Ohio Current Build: ...
