Hello Maarten ,I have never used iron oxide.

 

[Maarten]

What do you use for the staining?

What do you use for the staining?

I am using Minwax products

Unfortunately we cant get it here.

What about using artist ink to stain? I used some once to stain light coloured timber strips in red and blue and then sealed with white shellac. They turned out superb. Staining with black ink should do a decent job in simulating ebony. Or how about using black hornbeam to simulate ebony. Looks very similar. I have some strips in my stock bought from Ebay from Russia and it looks very good.

G'day Brian
Brilliant work on the planking and those clamps seem great.
Ebony is also very expensive here, in Down Under.

Hi guys,
you can never have too many clamps. Been planking with Turkish boxwood.
This material I cut myself and needs a final sandpaper to smooth it off.

[Maarten]

Brian,
Love the boxwood.

 

[Peglegreg]

[QUOTE = "Brian077, innlegg: 43213, medlem: 4000"] Hei folkens,
Du kan aldri ha for mange klemmer. Har vært planking med tyrkisk boxwood.
Dette materialet jeg kutter meg og trenger en endelig sandpapir for å glatte den av.

Hi Brian.
Catching up on your build. This is certainly a masterful build. That looks like a center island table you are building from while the paremeter has all your tools ???
That is just all too awesome.

 

[Anchorman]

Following the build with much interest, very nice work. An education for me.

 

[Bryian]

Thanks for your kind comments guys, appreciated.

Thought it was time to update my build log. Photos below are the current status of my build.

 

[Bryian]

I am planking the port side of the ship, and leaving the starboard side with exposed frames.
The kit comes with stub masts as Admiralty models are generally presented, but I'm planning on scratch building masts and spars and to fully rig the model.

 

[Jimsky]

She is looking great! Looking at your build and how she is coming alone, I want to build my own POF! Thank you for sharing!

 

[Maarten]

Hi Brian,

I love the Turkish boxwood, it will create a beautiful contrast with the cherry frame and black wales.
Coming to the wales you didn't place them yet? Are you putting these on top of the planking?

 

[Uwek]

Hallo Brian,
your planking is looking very good......great appearance - you should update more often, so we can see this great model much more often

Hi Maarten,
I know its probably incorrect, but I find it easier to do the wales after planking. Happy Xmas buddy.

 

[Maarten]

Hi Brian, I fully agree with Uwe. We would like to see more, she is becoming a beauty.
Sorry we are not stressing you .

Happy Christmas to you and your family. It must be a special one in your new house. Enjoy it.
