druxey Posted February 12, 2015 Share #91 Posted February 12, 2015 With the rabbeted edge rather than a bevel, how do you transition to the gain fore and aft, Lee? Looks like Lee Valley Tools got you! Very nicely done.

dgbot Posted February 12, 2015 Share #92 Posted February 12, 2015 I picked up a plane like the bottom one awhile back I think it is called a shoulder plane. Nice for getting into the edge. But I found out that for a smooth cut make sure the blade is sharp and take a light cut the end result is amazing. I got mine from Ebay.

Jaekon Lee Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share #93 Posted February 12, 2015 Thanks, Druxey and David. Druxy, the depth of rabbet is half of strake thickness but the depth was gradually increased to the full thickness of strake at the fore and aft ends for the carvel planking. Yes, the miniature tools are from Lee Valley made by Veritas. These miniature tools are useful especially for the light cut of miniature modeling work though longer time is required than power tools.

dgbot Posted February 12, 2015 Share #94 Posted February 12, 2015 Expensive but cheaper than a mill. Get some clot bags and put one per bag. Then a pouch of silion gel that you find in boxes to absorb the moisture and they can be safely stored until the next time or next week David B Jaekon Lee, Canute and Mirabell61 3 Quote Work in progress USS Maine in cardstock.http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/7446-uss-maine-by-dgbot-hmv-card/#entry220003 Completed Blockade runner Teazer http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/6063-blockade-runner-teazer-by-dgbot-card-stock/#entry175967 Completed The Monitor Lehigh http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/6920-the-monitor-lehigh-by-dgbot-card-model/#entry203680 Completed Kingston Class MCVD http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/forum/10-kit-build-logs-in-progress/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaekon Lee Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share #106 Posted March 2, 2015 Fore upper deck Hi, all friends. I'm very happy with your kind words and comments. Still I can not decide the method and material for bolting on hull planking, I moved to upper deck work as below. I'm not sure l can keep the carlings as well aligned with the progress of work.

Jaekon Lee Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share #108 Posted March 3, 2015 Thank you Nils for your compliment. There are some limitations in 1/64 scale to simulate fine details. I think 1/48 would be the best choice for the modeling. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt Johnson Posted March 3, 2015 Share #109 Posted March 3, 2015 Lee, How thick is the planking and how thin is their shoulder? Kurt Quote Member: Ship Model Society of New Jersey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaekon Lee Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share #110 Posted March 3, 2015 Hi, Kurt. Thickness of planking strake is about 1.5mm and the shoulder is rabbeted to half of thickness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt Johnson Posted March 3, 2015 Share #111 Posted March 3, 2015 Lee, Thanks. That's twice as thick than I thought and obviously doable. I want to try it for the Sherbourne. I was thinking of 1/32 boxwood for planking but that would really be a feat., making a shoulder. I am sure there is someone out there who could, but it ain't me! 1/16 seems reasonable. Once done it could be sanded a little thinner. Now to Lee Valley, I really like those guys.

Jaekon Lee Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share #112 Posted March 3, 2015 I agree with you, Kurt. If you have to use 1/32, consider beveled shoulder rather than rabbeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
