challenger86 Posted December 30, 2014 Author #31 Posted December 30, 2014 JPett, this explains it perfectly. I like your pic you attached as reference. I'm assuming both sides of 50 and 51 do meet up together, covering the keel so to speak.

JPett Posted December 30, 2014 #32 Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) Ahoy Robert I am not sure. I have not gotten that far. I remember when I did this. That curve on parts 50 and 51 completely confused me. I kept trying to install them so the larger gap where they meet the keel was the other way. Thankfully there wasn't too many different combinations. PS: Use these parts to check the curve of your fillers. Edited December 30, 2014 by JPett Quote On with the Show....

challenger86 Posted January 11, 2015 Author #35 Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) Finished sanding the stern fillers. Then I added a little bit of wood filler, to complete the nice curve. This is the before pic. When dry, I'll sand it down, add more filler, sand it again, until I have the nice curve.

challenger86 Posted January 16, 2015 Author #40 Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) Just glue. Good point. I'll place a triangle brace behind it, should do the trick. While on the subject of where the stub is, I'm assuming there's a similar backing required for the door that is going just opposite to that gun port will be. The plans don't mention a similar #31 there, just wondering your thoughts on providing a filler there.

JPett Posted January 17, 2015 #41 Posted January 17, 2015 Ahoy Robert Good idea. When I saw that on the plans I laughed at the thought of it knocking around in the hull As for the door; I think the plan is to let the shipwright decide. My plan is to take a piece of milk carton plastic and place it in the hull. This should allow the door way to be illuminated but not let you see through the hull to the other door. I have to run some tests before I commit to this Quote On with the Show....

challenger86 Posted January 18, 2015 Author #43 Posted January 18, 2015 Just testing 3 planks both port and starboard side of the ship to see how the planks would shape over the bow's fillers. Not too bad. Soaking the planks about 20 minutes makes them bend very nicely.

challenger86 Posted February 6, 2015 Author #44 Posted February 6, 2015 Back at it after a few weeks off, one of them in the Caribbean!! Started on 2 planks, one on each side of the ship, following the lower decking, and glued. Added some backing for the 2 doors on each side of the ship, painted it black, to give the illusion of a dark entrance. dragzz 1 Quote Current build: Duyfken Completed build: NS Mercedes Completed build: HMS Victory Completed build: Bluenose Schooner

I am not entirely finished the first layer of planking, but here's a photo of my progress. I've begun to transfer the gun ports from the plan to the hull, took me about 3-4 hours to do both sides, next I'll cut them out. Fun stuff...

challenger86 Posted January 28, 2016 Author #49 Posted January 28, 2016 Hello Ian, I'm thinking drilling holes and cutting to the edges with a fine knife or saw.

CDW Posted January 28, 2016 #50 Posted January 28, 2016 Hello Ian, I'm thinking drilling holes and cutting to the edges with a fine knife or saw. Working on the same task right now...cutting the gun ports in my 1:84 Victory. Have found that drilling a number of small holes, then cutting/trimming to the pencil lines with a sharp X-Acto blade, then finishing off with a sanding stick, is the best solution I've found to tackle the job. Have found it is very important to keep a sharp blade in the knife. Change them often. If you even think the blade might be getting dull, it is dull. Change it. A sharp blade makes the job so much better. After about 5 ports are cut, it's time to change the blade. I know that makes for a lot of blades used, but it's worth it in the long run.

challenger86 Posted January 31, 2016 Author #51 Posted January 31, 2016 I've managed to mark all Port side gun ports this weekend. Then, I drilled a hole in the centre, all the way to the backing (for the cannons), then using a Forstner drill bit to take out most of the port, then carved out the remaining. Here are a few picks in order of this process.... Harvey and Seventynet 2 Quote Current build: Duyfken Completed build: NS Mercedes Completed build: HMS Victory Completed build: Bluenose Schooner

challenger86 Posted March 6, 2016 Author #55 Posted March 6, 2016 I'm back at it, started with #34 at the lower wale, as you can see from my pics below. Bending #34 is a challenge, but going pretty good. Soaking the wood and using some steam, works fairly well. I decided to follow the plans, asking #34 to start at it's proper location, then moving up accordingly, not going over an extra layer of the second plank. This is the second layer planking, as per plans.
