Royal William by Denis R - Euromodel - Scale 1:72


Recommended Posts

G'day Denis

The bleach walnut looks great to me. It's more interesting than just plan walnut or whatever you used. Well done mate!

Hi Denis,

 

I agree completely wirh Greg - nothing is more boring than a 100 % identic Color of a deck. This mixture of nuances make the deck look so real... Best done , really !

 

Cheerio

Hi All

 

Just fitted the main deck gratings .

 

I did think about cutting the ends off but decided against it.

But looking at the photos I wish I had now as I left plenty of deck planking left on to support them.

 

Denis.

Hi All

 

I have put the liquid glass on the back of the window.

 

Dried fitted it to see how it looked.

 

I have got to say I do like it.

 

Yes I know you will not see it when the upper deck is fitted but it is good practice for later on.

 

Denis.

Looks great, Denis! They look much better than what I was expecting. 

 

Brian, he drilled out the windows. See the previous page. 

Regards, Keith

Hi Brian

 

I tried a small window some months back and it is still on the back.

 

All I did was sand the back down to get rid of any surface film so it is nice and bright finish.

 

Sanding also puts scratch marks on the surface so the liquid glass has something to key to.

What a job! Fantastic is one word I can use. Love the windows and the planking. You are doing an incredible job.

Well done my Kiwi mate.

Hi all

 

I have just started to put the stairs together for the main deck.

 

I still have to clean it all up.

 

Not sure yet if I will stain it or just varnish it yet.

 

Denis.

G'day Denis

Outstanding piece of craftsmanship. If I can put my 2 cents in, I think they would need a slight stain.

Dennis - just catching up with some of the logs I used to follow, I missed most of the hull build, are you enjoying the kit?

Hi All

 

Just a little update re stairs.

 

Decided not to stain the wood so I just gave it one coat of satin varnish.

Hi Denis

 

just perfect. It was a good decision, not to stain tjhe Wood. The varnish gives a very smooth and realistic effect on the stairs. BTW - I wish the stairs in my home were as beautiful as your model :D

 

Cheerio
