You’re making good progress.
Welcome back -you may know that I built this model mid 1980Th when it came into the market and have been helping two others to build it.
Now you did well adding wood under the lower deck carriage -it cannot be seen anyway. I did it with all gun carriage, as I made it with all gunports open - for me no dummy guns. On all the other guns -fully made - I added below the carriage a 5x5 mm piece of wood, as with the wheels alone, there is very little glue space -easy to have an accident here. Even with Dummy Guns more than one has gun pipes inside the hull and no way to get them out except making a hull in the bottom of the hull
you are always welcome to ask for help- el capi
Sorry, I beg to differ, it's double plank - well mine is, & the kit is described as such. Maybe yours is an earlier kit? I stand to be corrected?
Cheers
So in my attempt to try and make sure I get everything documented I have lost all the pictures I took the past few days of work. But what can I do, it was a lot of squaring up half finished parts of the build that were waiting on the chassis of the cannons to be done and set on the second deck.
I ended up gluing down the ends of the rope so that way everything stayed in place.
I have finished the rubbing strakes and just need to putty and sand and paint them. Once that was done I painted the red for the strings and the inside of the deck.
This is where we pick up with photos.
I got them planked then inorder to do the shaping with the thin 1x3 I glued it onto paper and cut it down accordingly.
Next was getting everything done the way it was needed, making sure to do dry fits each time
I oiled it with linseed oil and got it glued up and mounted the last deck on the ship.
And this is where we stand currently. Started doing some of the black paint and worked on the top of the railings as well. So far feeling a lot better now and starting to see some real bones comes to life .
Thank you all for checking in and hope the new year was good!!!!
