Hello. I haven't been here for a long time. Work did not stand still. And so: when I approached the laying of the squeezing belts below the velvet, it turned out that I had not finished the valance and had too small an angle. It was necessary to make the transition in this place more gentle.

After correcting the gap, I proceeded to sheathing the hull below the waterline. First there were 7 black hornbeam belts. After that, I sheathed the bottom with slats from the set. They are birch. I had to adjust them a little in size on a circular saw and make them the same 4 mm by 1.5 mm. Black hornbeam remained only in visible places above the waterline. The body will be sheathed with copper plates, so the body was sheathed with birch without marking and observing the rules. All this will be hidden by copper plates. Last night I finished the underbody trim. Photo result. Started grinding and preparing for laying copper plates.
Wow! Lots of progress! Wonderful work Sasha!
While I was engaged in sheathing, I assembled the guns on the deck of the operdeck. Due to the fact that they will hardly be noticeable (there will be another deck above), I left the machines from the set. I just painted them yellow. Well, after assembly, I put it in a box, until they were installed on the deck.
Thanks Paul
So clean and colorful! You do such nice work, Alexander.
I really like the yellow canon carriages. Good looking job of planking Sasha, that Hornbeam is amazing.
Looking amazing Sasha, what's hornbeam like to work with does it bend well with heat?
While on the body only black and yellow hornbeam. Bends when heated. I first soaked in water, and then bent with an iron. This is when he bent on the edge. In the nose, the 3.2 mm thick slats were bent without an iron. I wetted it, pressed it to the body with clamps, and when it dries it dries. After drying, the rail retains its shape and can be glued only by slightly adjusting it in place.
Great planking work Sasha, a joy to watch
Good day everyone. I decided to replace the grids with suitable scales. This is how it looks in the kit compared to what I decided to install
This is what the whole set looks like on the oper deck deck. you need to make boxes for the cores on two large gratings.

The smaller to scale gratings look awesome.
Hello everyone and have a nice day.
I noticed in Anatomy just such a thing at the admiral's entrance. Rooster grill. Embodied on the model.

I want to show how I do deck nailing. In case there is no die, but there is a grinding machine. But I spied on one of the ship-modeling forums just such an adaptation. Power supply from an old computer, an old hard drive. Here it is desirable to have a disk as old as possible, which rotates without stopping, because modern ones stop after a short time. I dismantled the disk case and put sandpaper on the disk itself. From above, it is pressed against the disk with a washer in the center. It is not necessary to glue emery to the disk itself.
Why a hard drive. Its rotation speed is less than that of a grinding machine and it is more convenient to sharpen thin slats 1x1 mm on it. Nothing further complicated. I prepared rails 1x1 mm and on this grinder, by rotating the rail, I sharpen it into a cone. PVA glue (I have Titebond with a blue label) diluted with water to a liquid state, dip the tip of the rail in glue and insert it into the hole on the deck. I bite off the excess.
After that, I carefully cut off the remnants flush with the deck with a knife and grind the entire deck. It turns out like this.
Here I just wet it with water, for visibility. I will still sand the entire deck and then cover it with oil. Here is such a technology. If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer.

Wow, there's innovation for you! Not sure what the admiral would say though if I dismantled the home PC and told her I needed it for a grinding machine
Great job Sasha, it really does look good
Such innovation! I have the highest respect for such clever methods.
