There are more on the loose than there are stuck behind bars. Pleasantly disturbed is not a bad thing.openwork Silver Dollar ..... .....

The Metamorphosis:
The wall and floor sanded and then with the frames on the starboard side with a 1st layer of linseed oil:

The seams are starting to show a bit.
And after the 2nd and 3rd treatment:

And this is how the treated timber of the frames and keel looks like:

This matte look is exactly what I had in mind. Here is a happy man!
During the tests on the remaining frame planks I had already seen that the oil penetrates the entire wood. This can now also be seen on the untreated port side:

In the middle the parts that are built up from 1 layer and are therefore almost completely penetrated with oil. That is why I have not yet treated the frames on the port side. It must be covered with hull planks.
The lowered central part shown above must be filled with planks. Due to the oil, the glue will adhere less. But that is now an extra reason to fix the planks extra with treenails. Also tested on some scrap wood and it works.

That looks like a lot of work for a beautiful finish.

How big is this range Heinrich?
Thats more that 1.000.000.000 ....... Euuuhh .......@Henk Liebre WeChat in China is the same as What's App in the West. With one huge difference - there are more than a billion people subscribed to it, !!! So, trust me, Peter is getting huge exposure!
See first, then believe. Keep the log files coming.....Wow, 1,000,000,000 fans of your work. IMPRESSIVE![]()
No offense, but I believe Jan is making a wild assumption!See first, then believe. Keep the log files coming.....
It is about the intention and the experience. And that is worthy of admiration for Xiuli /YQModels.No offense, but I believe Jan is making a wild assumption!
Yes, I believe 1 million is how many subscribers there are using that app. But how many of those subscribers read the posts of Xiuli? And how many of those who read what she posts, actually appreciate it? I think it is substantially less than 1 million, in fact no where close if we are to be realistic...lol. But the opportunity for exposure is certainly there!![]()
Yes... it is marketing for YQ, to get attention for the kit. I understand fully.It is about the intention and the experience. And that is worthy of admiration for Xiuli /YQModels.
Regards, Peter
Thank you very much, Paul.Maybe not a million but I'll go out on a limb and declare you the first person on the planet to cut a YQ Models Bluenose in half! And successfully! Huzzah!
Yes, I believe it is those who actually build ship models, who will be most appreciative of what you are doing. And I think you know I appreciate your efforts and accomplishments. I have a windlass motor waiting for you!Thank you very much, Paul.
