kscadman Posted August 18, 2014 #61 Posted August 18, 2014 Great work on the parquet flooring! What woods are you using? By the way - I'd say we're next door neighbors- lol Richard Mike 41 1 Current Build - U.S. Syren 2nd Build - HMS Bounty Launch When organizing your thoughts, never use the Dewey Decimal system.
Mike 41 Posted August 18, 2014 Author #62 Posted August 18, 2014 Hi Richard, Thanks, the red wood is Bloodwood, the squares next to the red is Marblewood (marmaroxylon racemosum) from Woodcraft, the brown is cherry and the yellow is yellow heart. I use turning squares of exotic wood to make small parts it is a lot less expensive than buying boards.

Mike 41 Posted August 19, 2014 Author #63 Posted August 19, 2014 Hi Brian, Your parquetry flooring looks great. I tried to stay a little closer to the drawing only changing the pattern a small amount. I noticed you didn’t paint the frieze using a solid color instead. I haven’t decided what to do there yet.

Mike 41 Posted August 20, 2014 Author #70 Posted August 20, 2014 Hi Brian, I agree the Fubbs is a worthwhile project that I would recommend. Another interesting ship to build is the Sussex I have the book by Gilbert McArdle and it is on my future build list. Mike Previous Builds: USS Pennsylvania - (1837) Scale: 1:64 Cross Section Continental Galley Washington 1776
gjdale Posted August 20, 2014 #71 Posted August 20, 2014 Both of those are on my "one-day" list! I have both the Fubbs Practicum (Romero) and the McArdle Sussex book on my bookshelf just waiting patiently. One day........ Lovely work with the parquet flooring by the way Mike.

Mike 41 Posted August 20, 2014 Author #72 Posted August 20, 2014 Thanks Grant, I have had both books on my book shelf for a while and decided to build the Fubbs first since she is smaller and a little less complicated. It would be great to see another Fubbs build on the site. Mike Previous Builds: USS Pennsylvania - (1837) Scale: 1:64 Cross Section Continental Galley Washington 1776

Mike 41 Posted August 26, 2014 Author #80 Posted August 26, 2014 The Great Cabin has a frieze shown on the wall in the practicum and sense I am not much of a painter I decided to use a simple floral relief carving for decoration. mtaylor, gjdale, druxey and 5 others 8 Previous Builds: USS Pennsylvania - (1837) Scale: 1:64 Cross Section Continental Galley Washington 1776

Mike 41 Posted August 27, 2014 Author #82 Posted August 27, 2014 Hi Michael, I am glad you like the frieze. I have an easier time carving using a pattern than working with brushes and paint. Mike Previous Builds: USS Pennsylvania - (1837) Scale: 1:64 Cross Section Continental Galley Washington 1776
Mike 41 Posted August 27, 2014 Author #83 Posted August 27, 2014 Hi Brian, The Proxxon milling machine does a great job on boxwood. I tried it on basswood and it just made a big fuzzy mess. LOL I use files, knifes and some small palm handle gouges for finishing details. It looks like I will get a lot of practice carving on the Fubbs.
