USS BONHOMME RICHARD - POF - Cross Section in Cherry - 1:48 - by carlosys [COMPLETED BUILD]

[carlosys]

Hi everyone.
It seems that this model is fashionable in the forum so I will collaborate with my progress to help all the colleagues who are doing it too.
For my part, I will learn from your work.

The first steps do not have much mystery.
In my case, I am deck by deck in order to adjust each deck to the real progress of the model.

Regards

Hi
More pictures. They are not very detailed since I did not plan to open a thread with the assembly.
From now on I will have to take more pictures.

Regards

More Pictures....

There is still a lot of work. Tincture some parts, continue with the process of opening areas for views of the different decks...
Without a doubt, the work of the other modelers will help me a lot.

Regards

Hello Carlosys, With such great builds of this kit, SOS makes a nice advertisement. It is a pleasure to watch all of them!

Thank you for posting the photo's, your build looks very good, how did you glue your ballast stones into the hull, what glue did you use,

best regards John,

Hi
Thanks for comment.
The stones are glued with white carpenter glue mixed with water.
Place in a bowl and mix the glue with the stones.
After only it is placed into de hull and wait for the glue to dry.
The mixture has to be textured somewhat liquid so that it permeates the stones well.
Drying is quite slow. Several hours.

Sorry for my bad english.

Hi
We continue with the advances of the section.
The deck 3 is almost finished and work begins on deck 2.
I have left parts open to see inside the lower parts.
Everything that is finished goes with a thin layer of varnish satin applied with airbrush.

We continue ...
Regards

Hi
I show you the latest advances.
Deck two is finished. We begin to define the gunport and the outer lining before continuing with deck one.
The two deck cannons are preassembled to properly adjust the gunport gap.

There are pending some adjustments of wood and lime, but we are advancing.

Regards and thanks for your comments.

Hi

I'm going to prepare the gunport hole for the rest of the section.
Leave deck 3 with the cannons and its rigging is delicate for the work of saw and lime.

Regards and thanks for your comments.
