Waitoa Posted March 2, 2015 Share #271 Posted March 2, 2015 Hi Think you have done an excellent job in making the metal frames flush with the planking. Have had a bad experience with these so now plank and then cut out the cannon ports later similar to what Jean-Pierre was suggesting. I love filler as well and as this is double planked no one gets you see it. Waitoa Ulises Victoria and GLakie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjors Posted March 2, 2015 Share #272 Posted March 2, 2015 Ulises, I mean a little filler .....Pffffffffffff For myself i use balsa filler ,but not that much !!!! When you are sanding it, go outside !

Ulises Victoria Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share #273 Posted March 2, 2015 So Sjors... no way I can make you happy!!! Indeed, for this job I take my ship to my pen turning workshop, which is outside the house and where I can make whatever mess I want I tried all these fillers. The one on the far left, made by Henkel in the USA and readily available at my neighborhood Home Depot is my choice. Spreads easy, dries fast, sand easy and smooth and I can purchase it at the moment I need it. mtaylor, Sjors, edmay and 1 other 4 Quote There aren't but two options: do it FAST, or do it RIGHT.

Ulises Victoria Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share #275 Posted March 5, 2015 A couple of "before and after" photos. To sand down the filler in the hull of my Royal Louis I have to go outside and do it in my pen turning workshop, but being the weather cold and damp I just don't feel like it. So I worked a couple of days in an area that was haunting me since don't know when (the "before" photos). This area in the bow was horrendous and I finally got to fix it. It still needs the final second planking over the vertical reinforcements, so it's not still totally finished, but at least it looks better now.

Ulises Victoria Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share #277 Posted March 14, 2015 Small update. Sanded the hull to the best of my abilities. Those large white spots were large depressions. I just found out that the second planking is 1mm thick, not the .5 I am used to. Not sure if this will make a favorable or not difference. .5 planks are used only in the upper part above the first line of cannons. I also marked the waterline using an improvised jig. I know Model Expo sells a 5 dls. jig, but I didn't want to wait. I have no excuses now... next step, is the placement of the main wale, thus starting the second planking. GULP!!! Close enough?

Keith_W Posted March 14, 2015 Share #279 Posted March 14, 2015 Second planking which is 1mm thick is effectively double first planking. Might be difficult to get it to turn tight corners and will probably require steaming.

Sjors Posted March 15, 2015 Share #286 Posted March 15, 2015 I think you can better use tape for that. When you use paper, you have the possibility that the paint is leaking under it. With tape you have a straight line. En when you put 2 stripes of tape on it, you can paint in between and have nice straight lines.......

Ulises Victoria Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share #291 Posted March 19, 2015 First wale dry fitted. I just dry fit the first starboard wale. (Can I say dry fit if the wood is wet??? ) There is no glue yet here whatsoever, so minor adjustments can still be done. I consider this a critical step in the planking job. I'm doing it very slowly and with utmost care. First segment of stern wale Bending the wood using a hair curler for the bow section where the curve is more pronounced. This is 2mm walnut. Not easy to bend. It takes some time but a nice curve can be made for the bow section. marktiedens, Dimitris71, CaptainSteve and 4 others 7 Quote There aren't but two options: do it FAST, or do it RIGHT.

Ulises Victoria Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share #299 Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) Small update. I placed the three strips of wood that form the main wales on both sides of the ship. You will see a very simple jig I'm using to further locate the exact place of the upper strip with respect to the cannon frame, in this case. Not truly necessary, though. I don't like how the walnut spills and breaks when inserting nail near the ends, even though I pre drill a hole for the nails. So I ordered some 2 x 5 mm boxwood strips from Crown Timberyard. (See add in home page) Remember these wales are placed here temporarily and only to determine the shape and line of the wales. They will be further adjusted when final gluing and nailing is done. By the way I have to send kudos to Jason of Crown. I sent an email asking for a quote on 2 x 5 mm boxwood in the morning, and by around 3:00PM the order was in the mail. These wales, by the way, are going to be blackened using a product called Rub'n Buff ebony color. This is a paste that you... well.. rub'n buff and gives a very nice satin finish and does not penetrate the wood. I also got some really thin black nails. I won't be using the brass shown in photos.

Ulises Victoria Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share #300 Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) Thank you Arthur. Good point. Haven't thought about gluing to the adjacent planks. Guess I will have to think about it in the time the boxwood arrives. Maybe gluing a boxwood wale and immediately removing the section above. Will see. I got some black nails with really small heads. I'm thinking about using them both to hold the planks while the glue dries and for looks, but that's just the plan. I'll let you know how it goes.
