Besides, I found in the kitchen of my flat the interesting bottle, but it is still filled with olive oil. I tried to adapt the drawing to the bottle size and it appear that the size of model will about 60 mm.

mikegerber Posted March 9, 2015 Author #74 Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) Hello everybody Thank you for visiting this workshop and all you encouragement with your likes! @John, @Patrick, @Dimitris Many thanks, I really appreciate your assistance! Currently, I'm heavy busy with the manufacturing processes for the deck. I'm on the way to prepare various dummies for these. So I wanted to try different things: The choice of wood and the whole appearance with color, the producing of the caulk joints, but also the functionality such as water resistance and so on. To do this, first of all I need to modify my old Proxxon table saw, so that I can produce identical planks. Further on, the pending decisions concerning the caulk joints is one of the most important question I have to answer. So I asked myself: Why not just do like the originals? ... Sikaflex-290i DC Is a one-component sealant based on polyurethane and designed specifically for application on Rod deck joints. Sikaflex-291i Is a strong adhesive 1-component polyurethane sealant, designed specifically for all marine applications. ... My choice much on the Sikaflex 291i, because it seems to me, as a strong adhesive elastomer, very suitable for model application (although, it is not recommended as such for rod joints in full scale). I apply the sealant with a spatula. Here I recommend you a good processing in the longitudinal direction of the joints. After drying, the surplus material gets scraped and sanded off. I'm thrilled by the result! - it looks quite fine and is further on to develop ... Best regards!

mikegerber Posted March 23, 2015 Author #87 Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) Hello everyone Thank you for all of your likes and for visiting „Stavangers“ shipyard - I am delighted whenever the "bell is heard“! ... So, what's going on in Colin Archer’s workshop? The hull as far is finished in its raw version. It lacks even the fine finish and the plasterwork and final attachement of the keel. Also the rudder blade achieved his raw state. Regarding RC technical reasons, the rudder blade is expanded in its area. Regarding the deck topic, I can tell you about the working status so far: Characteristic for all Colin Archer RS-sailors is the closed and heavily double-curved (concave-convex) hyperbolic shape of the deck. Thus shipped seas can be fast discharged. The original is made of pine planks of dimension 10/5cm. By aging, sun exposure, and dozens of surface treatments (probably pine-tar-oil), the look is anthracite-black. I've decided to forego a false deck. The problem is, that I can't manufacture a hyperbolic-shaped plane as a homogeneous element in any manner with reasonable effort - unless the false deck again would have joints, which were again to close and so on ... As all the tests with the deck dummies has showed, a simple and clean solution for this task is already foreseeable - in form of the elastomeric Sika-joints. The best thing is, that this is a way to solve everything in one single layer: Joint pattern, deformation, elastic connection, water resistance, ... Further I will plank the deck with pine/larch. Slow-growth pine/larch has a very fine and narrow drawing of annual rings - the scale effect will benefiting from this circumstance (see also Matija’s log on Pasara, page 3, no.32). I'll treat the deck in multiple layers with coloured pine oil. The appearance of the dummy is not yet there where it should be ... - but it goes in the right direction. Best regards!

captainbob Posted March 23, 2015 #89 Posted March 23, 2015 The ballast keel and rudder with extension look good. Don’t be afraid of the curves in the deck. It planks up the same as the hull. I like the color. Bob mikegerber and IgorSky 2 Quote Every build is a learning experience.
