MEDDO Posted July 4, 2014 Author #212 Posted July 4, 2014 I like that photo Michael, impressive stuff B.E. Thanks B.E.

MEDDO Posted July 4, 2014 Author #213 Posted July 4, 2014 Beautiful work Michael, The deck and Grating look Awesome Best Regards, Pete Thank you Pete. I was supprised at how light the wood was for the decking. I did use a HB pencil for the "caulking line". Overall I think it looks not too bad. I am working a bit over next 10 days or so so things going to slow down but will be tackling the foredeck stuff next. I have lots time at the end of the moth for the shipyard Cheers pete48 1 Quote Michael Shipwrights of Ohio Current Build: ...

When I first saw the grating pieces I wasn't too impressed but after setting them up with the planking, adding the windlass etc, I think they look much better.

MEDDO Posted July 19, 2014 Author #229 Posted July 19, 2014 Thanks Pete. Today is the "smelly" day. At least it is nice outside and kinda cool so the poly will be easier to deal with.

MEDDO Posted July 21, 2014 Author #231 Posted July 21, 2014 Here is the pumps. The instructions state should use a piece of supplied styrene for the handles. Then paint it "any color of brown to give it a wood color". Instead I carved them from some planking stock. I think the result was pretty good. mtaylor, SawdustDave, rafine and 5 others 8 Quote Michael Shipwrights of Ohio Current Build: ...

MEDDO Posted July 21, 2014 Author #238 Posted July 21, 2014 Really nicely done Michael. Everything looks very crisp and clean. Good call on making the pump handles from wood.. Bob Thank you. I have never used styrene before and since I don't have any "wood colored paint" I thought it would just be easier to make it out of wood. Your Essex is an inspiration and is the answer to the next question that Carl had. A partially planked deck can look very nice. rafine 1 Quote Michael Shipwrights of Ohio Current Build: ...

MEDDO Posted July 21, 2014 Author #239 Posted July 21, 2014 Everything looks great. What made you decide to only plank the port front quarter of the deck? Thanks Carl. I am not sure I really like the planking on this ship. Here is a picture form the kits picture disk. (This is not mine) This is how the instructions have you plank it. And I just don't like that look too much. Personal preference I guess. For the last month I have been thinking of this problem. Bob's (username rafine) Essex looks awesome and also has a partially planked deck over frames. I have considered planking entire port side, just center strip, leaving as is, etc. Haha just don't know. Eventually I will have to make a decision.
