Jaekon Lee Posted June 10, 2015 Author #181 Posted June 10, 2015 Draft rail and rough tree rail Hi, Nils, Christian, David and Mike. Many thanks for your compliments. Long break and little progress due to busy work and trip. Draft rails on the top timbers and gun ports were joined with glue. Nailing seems to be required to reinforce the joining strength. At the aft hull side, rough tree rails were placed between extended top timbers over the draft rail. Now I'm ready to install deck planking. ;D Cheers, Lee tlevine, AnobiumPunctatum, dgbot and 19 others 22 Quote

wyz Posted June 30, 2015 #191 Posted June 30, 2015 Lee, it's always a treat when you post. I love following your build. Question: What glue do you use and how do you blacken it? Do you add lamp black powder? Paint? Thanks Tom Jaekon Lee 1 Quote

Jaekon Lee Posted June 30, 2015 Author #193 Posted June 30, 2015 Thanks Nils, Antony, Coleman, Tadheus, Tom and Alex for your compliments and likes. Tom, yes I mixed carbon black into the normal white glue to blacken it. To make uniform mixture, I made carbon black slurry with small amount of water and then mixed it to glue with small agitator. Drop of bonding strength was negligible. Cheers Mirabell61, wyz and Mike Y 3 Quote
Jaekon Lee Posted July 6, 2015 Author #194 Posted July 6, 2015 Main deck planking Planking of port side main deck has been finished at the breast center line. Though it is hard to see at this moment, treenails were simulated with syringe needle tip. I hope they will be more visible after oil finishing. : ) Windlass spindle, jeer bitt and several standards for them were attached and bolted. Small windlass will be added between the jeer bitt pins.

Well, if I can get up enough momentum, I'll have to finish my paper model, so I can take inspiration from your work and get back to wood. And there's a LOT to be inspired by here – Not that I could ever achieve anything close to what you've done!
