USS Constitution 1:70 Scratch

I have started planking the spar deck bulwark and adding the pin racks and other detail. I drilled 0,6 mm diameter holes into the planks to represent the bolts and was happy with the result.

For the bolts, I didn't feel the need to struggle for a more realistic look at this scale.

In the bow section, I have almost completed the interior planking of the bulwarks and the accessories on the bulwarks. I first assembled the cleats and steps made from scratch onto the planks, then glued these planks into place.

I started the main rail. I'm making the curved rail in the bow section differently this time. In my previous models, I did it by cutting, but this time I am making it with a different method. I cut three 2x4 mm of baswood strips according to the size and kept them in hot water for 15 minutes. Then, I clamped the strips into the mold I prepared before and waited for it to dry. Then, I applied PVA glue between the strips and clamped again to the mold, waited for the glue to dry, and removed it from the mold.20241203_134328.jpg20241203_090528.jpg20241203_091651.jpg20241203_113908.jpg20241203_113923.jpg20241203_114055.jpg20241203_125942.jpg20241203_130028.jpg20241203_130034.jpg20241203_130049.jpg20241203_130044.jpg
