HMS GRANADO - full hull - POF kit by CAF in 1:48 - by Uwe

[BradNSW]

Dear Uwe, I have to commend you on your dedication. That seems like an awful lot of work (with inherent risk) for something that is barely visible. Subtlety is certainly the name of the game here - except for when you have a saw in hand!

Heinrich,

He's not SO subtle with the saw...his model is cut in half!!

Guess that is the ultimate in subtle sawing, a perfect slice on the exact preplanned line!

This build never ceases to amaze me!

For a short time my hull was looking like a brown Hedgehog

you see, I did not make a change of so much of the treenails ..... and nowhere (puh) damages made by the drill

The final result

only some last touch with a fine steelwool will be done

Now I can start with the interior works of the lower part - JuHu

Many Thanks for your interest ..... to be continued .....

Your last series of pictures gave me a lot of deja-vu’s: Hedgehog-treenailing, subtle result after sanding and oil/Clou-ing, a open lower part for easy acces to make the inner construction.

Seriously impressive hull work Uwe, well done!

 

[Uwek]

La perceuse a beaucoup travaillé. Quel diamètre de foret avez vous utilisé?
Très beau travail! Félicitations!

The drill worked a lot. What diameter drill bit did you use?
Very nice job! Congratulations!

Hallo,
for these work I use the small drills from Proxxon - officially they are 0,5mm - but in real slightly smaller with appr. 0,46 mm - the treenails / toothpicks are prepared with 0,53 or 0,52mm diameter - > a little bit bigger than the drilled hole, so they hold in place without any glue

Many Thanks to all your comments and all the likes received

Before I start with the interior walls - some elements were already prepared one year ago - I have to remember which part belongs to which area........

for fun I put the upper part on top - so for a short time it was once more a full model











see you soon .... to be continued .....

Well well, that's great!
Then I did that right away. If I can grant that freedom to myself...... Perhaps a tip for Maarten @Maarten ?
We are open to more registrations!

Good to see these 'full hull' pictures, Uwe. Otherwise the header of your build-log would no longer be correct. Looking forward to the inside construction.
Regards, Peter

The hull in full mounted position looks really great. Like the colour of the wood and the summary use of tree nailing.
One question about the fit between the upper part on the lower part. It looks that on the stern and stem the wood is not fit right. Does the wood work or is it not just put in the right way together.

Magnificent planking !

Uwek is clever…..only has to plank half a hull…

[Uwek]

small club

and only a very small number wants to be a member of this group
No - we should see the HCSA as the ultimate group - but we make no difference where the cut was - horizontal, vertical, longitudinal, diagonal ? etc.....

 

[Steef66]

There is also the HCAA

 

[Jimsky]

then there should be yet, another sub club JSOC (Japanese Saw Owner Cutters) associated with HCSA

...small, but very important!!

 

[Steef66]

Not necessary Jim a saw is a saw, but the HCAA club is that's when you f#@ked up your model and use an axe instead of a saw
