Dear Friends
I ask for help on another issue I would like to know where to buy the kit that Mario built
the amazing kit ,
Colonial Schooner Hannah by Cap'n Rat Fink - 1/4" scale - semi scratch
I contacted him directly as well as to the friends in the blog that he documented "The Shipbuilders Build Logs-Colonial Schooner Hannah by Cap'n Rat Fink - 1/4" scale - semi scratch ",
I have not yet answered
thank you

Today I took another small step on the long journey, I glued the cannon window frames to the supporting base, which was cut precisely to the space between each partition / wall. In addition, I glued the top strip of wood to the flanking, with the aim that all frames would be installed at the same height / line. After I paste the cannon frames, I paste the bottom strip of wood into them. Wish us all a fun and enjoyable journey

Hello friends
Today I spent about six hours on the next step of building the new cannon window frames.
First I sanded the frames so they were all the same size.
Next, I drilled the holes in the back of the frame, where I would mount the ship's cannons.
Next I painted the front of the frame in red and the interior in black.
Later I adjusted each unit to the space between the pages.
Next I pasted 13 window frames.
In the summary of the work, I am quite pleased with the result I have achieved.
Of course, I also attached some pictures of the process
I will keep updating next steps

Hello to my dear colleagues for a passion of building a ships model
I would like to share with you the progress I have made today, after a few days break:
I glued the wood of the planking boards above and below the cannon window frames on the ship.
Then I sawed and sanded the excess wood so that the frame line was the same as the planking line.
In the last step I painted the frames in red (two layers).
I can say that I am Quite satisfied with the progress I have made , especially because the first round about two weeks ago, thet wasn't on level and quality required.
I wish to all of us a successful week

Haven't you heard of this?First, treat the ends of the frames at an angle.

I agree with @Mr.Deep, you should fair the frames both on the bow and on the stern otherwise you’ll run into problems with the laying of the planks. I built the Friesland myself quite a few years ago now, and she has a rather bluff bow, so another suggestion is to built up the bow with blocks and sand the frame down so it is level with the deck edge.

 

[shota70]

This method is familiar to me , and I have implemented it in my previous ships.
I intend to do it before the planking on the friesland.
Mr.deep & Atamini, Thanks for mentioning and turning my attention to this issue

Hello Shota, this method we called - fairing the hull! Take the long sanding stick (so it will cover at least 3~4 bulkheads) and move on alone the bow or stern (one direction only: I mean NOT back and forth. Control removing amount buy touching a long planking strip from bow to stern, You shouldn't see any bumps or dents. It should form a nice line where each of the bulkheads touches the strip.

Thanks so much for the detailed explanation, I will apply it

Hello dear friends
Following to the helpful comments that reminded me to not forget an important step, I created a new Grinding block and sanded the sides of the ship's edges.
from there I will continue this weekend to fill in small wooden planks between the window frames.
May we all have a lovely and successful weekend

 

[Mr.Deep]

Once again.You need to stitch the front and rear frames.You need to stitch along the entire plane.Control is carried out with the help of a Reiki.Apply the rail to the frames so that there are no breaks.And you just sanded the ends with fine sandpaper.

I'll explain it again in pictures.Like this.
