Great work Uwe
HMS GRANADO - full hull - POF kit by CAF in 1:48 - by Uwe
Hi Uwe. Those reshaped planks look great. And thanks for showing the ’clamping with the wedges’.
Regards, Peter

Once more many thanks to all of you for the kind comments and replys and also all the likes received
A little bit boring when I show you the further progress of the internal planking...... but unfortunately I have nothing more to show in moment
After the drillling of the treenail holes three further rows are installed - in the meantime I am used to use these wooden wedges
once more holes made
step by step and planking row by planking row
a close up to show some details how (in my opinion) these plankings strips are fitting
Many Thanks for your interest .... to be continued .....

Uwe,
Great work. I do appreciate it when you say, "step by step, planking row by planking row." These are the repetitive, mundane tasks that are boring to some. I know my mind wanders sometimes performing these types of tasks and before I know it, the lines of my planking wanders like my mind.
I can see your mind does not wander as your planking lines are quite true. Very nice work.

I like the look of the treenail holes and how you work a few rows at a time to mark location based on width of actual frame width for that plank.
I think it would be very hard to do after all the planks are in place due to changing width of frames top to bottom on each side.
Have you installed the nails yet, as I have only seen you mentioning drilling the hundreds and hundreds of tiny holes.

Hello Uwe, I think the same thing from time to time, I hope it doesn't bore anyone, but I find it very interesting. On the one hand, it is very often very helpful if you have step-by-step instructions. On the other hand, I think you can convey a lot of things a lot better. For me personally, it is exactly these construction logs that appeal to me, they are complete and you can learn a trick or two.
Hallo Kurt,Have you installed the nails yet, as I have only seen you mentioning drilling the hundreds and hundreds of tiny holes.
correct! Until now only the holes are drilled, the reason is purely to find the locations after the first sanding of the planks.
So when the planks are all fixed, I plan to sand the planking a first time, after cleaning the holes with a vac, the treenails will be installed with a final sanding afterwards ..... that is the plan

As the old saying goes, "Plan the work, and work the plan" to get what your want done.
Great looking build so far.

Many thanks for your interest in my building log of the CAF HMS Granado kit
and all the comments and likes received -> much appreciated
The main plank rows are in the meantime installed - all together 10 rows

Super Praca

It's coming together really nicely Uwe
Beautiful.
Hallo friends,
I made already everywhere the holes for the treenails ..... because I was to lazy before to check which areas are covered (f.e. by riders) later on and which not.
But I am also too lazy to make everywhere the wooden treenails.....
therefore I decided to prepare the elements for the riders, which are also the base for the mortar beds, and mark the areas on the planking, which will be covered by the dryfitted riders......
this will be approximately the locations of the riders
the riders still have to be cleaned and sanded, also the bolting has to be made.
And also some bevelling will be necessary so that they will be in close contact with the planking
Looking at this status I also decided to make two or three single planks on the other side where in moment the frames are visible

Hello Uwe, clean work. Pretty big stuff and yeah I think it's a good idea to install extra skin on the opposite side.
Hi Uwe!
Had today the luck to see two original mortars on a Charente fortress.
Love greetings
Thomas

Some more info about the preparation works on the riders
Here a close up photo - the elements for the riders are not laser cut, they are cnc-milled, so no laser char removal necessary but we have to clean the areas where the parts are fixed to the sheets.
On the left side a rider in original shape directly out of the sheet - on the right side with sanded and cleaned surface
Also, when you build the same model, I suggest now to clean also the notches for the beams, and not to wait until the riders are finally installed inside the hull.
Now is the time where you have a much better access for the knife and file
On the bottom marked with red arrows are the rounded edges inside the notches visible - they can not be avoided during the cnc milling
On the top you can see similar edges, marked with green arrows, cleaned and prepared with a sharp scalpel knife
These rectangle edges in the notches are necessary, that the square beams for the mortar bed will fitt - see the following photo (all dry fitted)

I can only say it again and again, beautifully illustrated and perfectly explained, as we are used to from you Uwe, keep it up.
And of course clean work again, of course.
