La Salamandre 1:96 - Miniature Arts by xander898

Hi everyone, Thanks to Zoltan . I was finally able to start construction. It is very small indeed, but the challenge is interesting. I also mounted the sanding plates that will help with sanding parts, i'm not sure how to use them anyway

 

[Uwek]

I am looking forward to see the next working steps on this model
I love this ship - It is a really special and technically highly interesting vessel.

BTW: Will you remove the laser char from the edges?

Of course Uwek, i just mounted the keel temporarily, but I will sand the blackened parts.

I have a question, what is the use of the lines drawn on the couples? (see photo 3)

 

[zoly99sask]

I am assuming that is the beveling line?

Yes but look at the shapes of the lines of couples 43.1 and 43.2, they are different even though they will be glued together

I can’t really judge because I do not have the kit but for safety do not glue anything yet

 

[Tobias]

The lines of the bevels are once for the outside and once for the inside.

Here is the original I hope it helps

Thank you Tobias
I don't understand what they are for. just a point in the inner or outer face would not have been enough?

I think it is correct - better the lines make for me sense



I tried to make a sketch

43.1 and 43.2 should be fit together - glued with their backsides together, so that you see on both visible sides the sanding lines (ofr bevelling or fairing)
so on 43.1 the red dotted area should be removed and on 43.2. the green dotted area

In the center you see a sketch as a cross section of the sandwhich in appr. height of the waterline (red line)

This form is making also sense close to the stern

In the past I made another sketch showing the two typical ways POF-frames are prepared by manufacturer - I guess your kit is using the way on the bottom



So the first would be take both frame halfs out of the sheet and test the fitting with putting them together with both backsides

Thank you Tobias

No - you need the given information on the parts - because you have with parts 43.1 and part 43.2 only one double frame which has to be faired on both sides

Grazie Tobia
Non capisco a cosa servano. solo un punto nella faccia interna o esterna non sarebbe bastato?

l'esterno e l'interno sono i profili (quartabuono d'angolo) dello scafo

 

[Tobias]

The line is a very good thing, it shows you how far your bevel is to where you should be bevelling on the inside and outside. When you have glued the two together this is a kind of guide line.

 

[xander898]

Thank you Uwek I think it's clear now, well I think
It's my first POF model, so i'll have a lot of questions

 

[Tobias]

Here is another example from Le Coureur, also showing the small laser line.

 

[xander898]

Small progress, nothing is glued, just put in place.

Hello everyone, there will be sanding work on it

 

[Jimsky]

Hello everyone, there will be sanding work on it

...but then, she will turn her body to be HOYistick!!! Great job assembling the frames.

 

[xander898]

Hi. I started sanding several frames, the one at the front is the one that needs the most sanding. I need an opinion, to know if I should sand more. I went to the mark line, but I don't know if I did enough. At the back of the frame I sanded a little less, I dare not go all the way down. Thank you.
