Hi Zoly,
The reinforcing timbers are they just for support until you get some planking going?

Hello Mike, no, they are permanent reinforcing supports, actually pretty good ones, I have glued in the lower false gun deck , that gave even more support.
Hello everyone, so I have glued in the lower false gun deck, and I started sending the bulkheads.
Looking great mate.
What timber you used as the enforcement? Was it hardwood?
All the best and happymodeling

Hello Greg,90% is basswood and the rest is walnut,and I used CA with wood glue combination,will last for 200 years Lol.
Thank you Pat fir visiting my log and the nice comment!!
Thank you Dave!
Hello everyone,after an extensive sanding/beveling the bulkheads a have started to cut and shape some high density polyurathene foam between the bulkheads.
Hi Zoly,
thats coming along very quickly since I last checked in on your build log. Good stuff my friend.

Thats a nice filler idea.
Hello everyone ,thanks for looking in and for the nice comments.
The soccer world cup kept me away from the shipyard hopefully this weekend I will finish adding these pinky fillers.

Hello Peter,thanks for visiting my build log ,It makes me happy if somebody can learn from me but I am not that good ,I learn things from other too,thanks for the nice comment.
Are you filling in all the bulkhead spaces?
Hi,yes I will ,and form the bow pieces too,very easy to send this foam ,I think much easier to use them than wood for fillers.I will have like a solid hull to plank.

Hello Zoltan
Just catching up on your HMS Ontario build, nice to see that you are well underway, great progress. I just did a very quick comparison between your HMS Ontario and my Oliver Cromwell. Not a great amount of difference in overall size. From what I can see Ontario has 2 masts and Oliver Cromwell has 3. They are both very interesting ships that is for sure. However, since you are using a larger scale that will give you more room to add much more detail than I will be able to at my 1: 48 scale. Keep up the great work and keep the pictures coming, ENJOY.
Regards Lawrence

Hi Lawrence , thanks for visiting my build log and the kind words, yes she is an interesting ship and maybe a few people build her as far I found on the net.

I glued in in some foam pieces , soccer games still keep me away from the shipyard Lol.
Hi Zoltan, I've just read through all this build log, I've learnt a lot and it's given me several helpful ideas for a future "little" project. I am also finding the World Cup is getting in the way of my model building time.
Cheers Andy

G'day Zoly
Great progress mate. Good idea about foam, I'm going for balsa wood. Like you I like a solid foundation for the planking.
Glad to see that you used the word 'soccer' not FOOTBALL. Lol
