Hallo my friend,Anyone got a clue about how to use the door View attachment 205292hinges? They look odd and I can’t figure out how to use them.....
Hi Poul, yes treated the areas that do not need glue just to see how it looked with tung oil. Thanks for the hinge thing ( must have overlooked them) but to be honest, I don’t like them and they look well out of proportion so I’ll fabricate my own. Doorknob is like @Uwek says a nail head and I used some transparent sheets for the glass. I have done the bulkheads and it’s really rewarding and calming work. I have started with the planking ( did the stern) and enjoying the work. It requires a methodical and measured approach so my patience will be tested, particularly as I plan to use woodglue onlyAnyone got a clue about how to use the door hinges? They look odd and I can’t figure out how to use them.....
Manual page 9:
View attachment 205378Did you threat the bulkhead with stain or something?
Where did you find the door handle? Scratch build from brass wire?
Short comment to this example - you are right, but keep in mind, that this model is double big than ours - it is scale 1:24 !!!The option Etienne Piette uses in his model seems more in scale and appropriate for door hinges. The ones CAF provide appear more suited for a chest or box

You are doing a very good job on the planking - Looking really goodThe clinker planking is not easy to do for a newbie like me but thoroughly enjoyable. Every time I take a plank out of the sheet (takes me 10 min in average to locate it in the manual) I think “how on earth will this fit, it looks all wrong”!?. But after a bit of filing, bevelling, soaking, bending and twisting it does fit. Easy does it ( broke one plank already) but it is taking shape.
I will use the CAF planking on the exposed side.
From row 18 the planking becomes easier indeedShort comment to this example - you are right, but keep in mind, that this model is double big than ours - it is scale 1:24 !!!
You are doing a very good job on the planking - Looking really good
and with some experience with several rows it will get easier and faster - it is a question of routine
