pirozzi Posted March 30, 2015 Share #151 Posted March 30, 2015 Hi all Yes still doing the windows. But I have put the milling machine away. I have found it better by putting a drill in my Dremel. Then drill some holes, I then used the side of the drill as a milling bit to remove the surpluse metal. I then finished off with a knife and file. Denis I do the same, but use a small milling bit in the Dremel instead of a drill bit. You also have to be careful to run the speed as slow as possible to keep from melting the soft metal. It goes pretty quick and I have done half of the windows so far. Vince DenPink 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenPink Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share #152 Posted March 31, 2015 Hi Vince I tried a Dremel milling bit in my Dremel but it bounced around too much. But may have the wrong one. I set the Dremel speed at about 5.

DenPink Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share #153 Posted March 31, 2015 Hi all I have repainted the window with a lighter brown. It may not look lighter but it is. I now have to repaint the white ha ha. Also a photo of the wet liquid glass on the back of the window. Denis.

Visi Posted March 31, 2015 Share #154 Posted March 31, 2015 Hi Denis, Nice to see you progressing on this difficult build. For me I did not mind the dark colour as it gave good contrast. The Baby poo-brown - tones it down a bit. visi DenPink and edmay 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popeye the sailor Posted April 1, 2015 Share #156 Posted April 1, 2015 is there a paint chart included in the plans? perhaps comparing the color to the hull stain may help.

maggsl_01 Posted April 10, 2015 Share #159 Posted April 10, 2015 Hi Denis, it's an amazing Job that you do on the windows. It's such a small detail compared to the hole size of the ship - but you spend so much time and effort to do it perfect. Thats modelling on a high level...

But to give you some idea you can see 2 sets of doors ie 4 in all ( baby poo brown as you call it ha ha ). The gap between the 2 sets of doors was painted with a brush that has 2 hairs on it ( the paint was just about drying before I could get it on ). Bit of a pain to do.

DenPink Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share #179 Posted June 28, 2015 Hi All Just done the main deck planking. The walnut planking in the kit is a bit dark. I have bleached them for 30min's and washed them for an hour in running water. Glued to the deck and sanded them down, but the bleach did not go through all of the wood. I put one coat of varnish on and I have now got a zillion colours. I do like this as it looks weathered.
