NORSKE LOVE - Billing Boats 1:75 scale

I hadn't been to your build yet and had to catch up and saw your entire report.
Incredibly beautiful work you show.

The emblems walls and decks look very realistic

Here the sun is starting to break through again, and after seeing your report I'm really looking forward to doing something again.

Great work

To figure out the panel sizes, I make templates with construction board.

So I have templates to make the next 4 panels (mirror images on each side). Then I can finally get back to planking the deck and start the upper wall. The upper wall has some interesting fitments. ;)

Aha ...... perhaps a small side build-log in this chapter:

SOS Build Logs from Paper / Cardstock

This forum discusses the Paper or Cardstock as it is a very popular Medium to work with. Just about any model can be constructed using Paper or Cardstock: Ships, planes, trains, ect.

Then I see you there with my paper and cardstock work. :)ROTF

For reference, here is a kit provided wall. Which is a ply that is lazer cut, backed with another piece of plywood to create inset panels. Very plain…

Which is why I chose to add columns, then a bottom trim, and finally the raised panel inset with black border. And I opted to carve the coat of arms, verses using the supplied decal.
It was a lot of extra work, but in the end it will pay off, because these walls will be mostly visible, as they are located in an open deck area. ;)

The walls are beautiful Dean.

Thank you very much Daniel! I can honestly say I was flying blind on these, because I really didn’t see the end result until I got there! I just happened upon it by looking at my options, based on suggestions and ideas. So I feel like this was a team effort! Thanks to everyone for their input! ;)

Your walls on the ship are masterpieces to say the least! Rich

Thank you Rich!
Everyone contributed with suggestions and ideas, and trust me I considered everyones input. I may have started with columns, but soon realized, that alone wasn’t the look I was after.
In the end, I feel I used a little of everyone’s input, by using raised panels with individual boards, unstained. ;)
 
I added the cross beams or supports for the upper deck. Then sanded them and the deck beams flush.

Next I have to place the upper deck sheet temporarily, to confirm the location of the walls. That will confirm my planking borders that will extend past the wall some. So this is all necessary preliminary work, to ensure all fits together well in the end. The location and height of the wall will be fine tuned, just prior to installing the upper deck sheets.
So back to deck planking, and I will also work on the wall concurrently. ;)27487D2B-AD47-4440-AAB3-130730400E5C.jpeg
