Looking great Uwe, and also very nice pictures.
Now back to the puzzle of the walls, i guess?
Now back to the puzzle of the walls, i guess?
HMS GRANADO - full hull - POF kit by CAF in 1:48 - by Uwe
I think there is no problem - the problem was myself
Yes, the widths of the boards are slightly bigger than necessary, but I guess it was the idea to have enough meat for the char sanding.
This can be easily solved with sanding all baords slightly more or sanding one board much more
I was one year ago somehow in a rush - or I was not thinking about what to make - maybe it was the first interanl wall I prepared and did not check with the templates
But absolutely now problem - because I have spare walls - I will prepare only one side of the interior walls
on the top: template
center: the second made wall - out of the spare boards
down: the wrong wall named "without brain"
still I have left and right some meat to adjust the wall for the real situation of the model
Également
Bonjour à Tous. Je viens de recevoir la plaque 5B qui manquait dans mon KIT N° 2. TOM a réagit très vite.

Got mine today as well. Great service from Tom at CAF Models
Very good news, that you received the spare parts directly from CAF - and so fast
I worked further with the intereior walls of the fore platform
Once more the "wrong" wall and behind the template - on the right door opening you can recognize the mistake with the wrong location of the door - ok, nobody would recognize, but ......
the corrected wall at place (still everything dry fitted
the transverse bulkhead between the boatswain´s cabin and the sail room
on the left the sail room - on the right the boatswain´s cabin
after some time once more an overall view of the lower hull segment
Many Thanks for your interest in my building log .... to be continued .....

Looking amazing Uwe. Beautifully done.
Good morning Uwek. It is fantastic to have the ship sawn in half as all this detail you add is displayed. It must be something all POF modellers strive for. No names mentioned however there is another beautifully crafted POF Kingfisher
being built with magic detail which will never to be seen….Anyway, stunning work as always. Cheers Grant
Many Many Thanks for all your interest, in the comments, likes and visits of my building log
Going further with the interior walls of the fore platform
The front bulkhead
and the aft wall to the galley room
at this stage I realized some points:
1) first of all it is looking strange with the walls hanging in the air without deckplanking -> maybe to cut them shorter or ..... ?
Once more a look at the Goodwin drawings
S..... I forgot completely that there is a galley stove and boiler
2) The stove needs to be on top of deck beams - hanging partly in the air is not a solution .....
Here you can see the base for the stove appr. in the correct place
some more planks are necessary - definitely
and here you see my final solution for this area => the walls are on top of deck planking and also the stove
so here the final deck planking

Hi Uwe.
The inside walls looks very nice.
I also had ‘the problem’ of the 'hanging in the air' ends of the walls. My choice was to shorten them right and place the points in the top part of the hull.
This accentuates the visual aspect of the possibility that both parts can be put together.
Now a viewer will almost immediately say: "But it doesn't fit together that way, does it?" Even if you consider not doing so.
When you made them straight, they will say: “Aha, you can out both parts together!” Even if you consider not doing so.
Regards, Peter

Excellent work Uwe. I find myself asking some of the same questions though my model will be in one piece. How much decking to include? How 'complete' should the buildout (walls, bulkheads) be? I realize it's builder's choice but, like you, I don't want to build something that is incoherent or nonsense...
Great to have your example to consider.
