Hello
After the construction is before the construction!!!
The construction trailer is tidied up and I am full of energy.
After I have completed the RAU IX (driving pictures and videos to follow) I will now start with the Britannia from
"Mountfleet Models".
Here are the first pictures and a link

Hello
I'm stuck at the moment. I have been on sick leave for 7 weeks now and it will definitely be another 2 - 4 weeks. I have bone marrow oedema in my big toe and am just limping around. It's not getting any better. I hope I'll be fit again soon or at least get back to my workshop. ▲

I also have a ''Fetish'' for Brass Propellers as you say they are not cheap - we have a very good supplier in the UK call The Prop Shop - run by a guy called Simon who is super helpful - I am sure he would ship for you if you were stuck

Hello men
As I'm still on sick leave (7 weeks now and the next 2 weeks too), I painted the inside of the bulwark and the lower deck this morning. Now I'm waiting for my Lead weights I checked the tyre dealers in my area and what can I say. Nothing, they have already disposed of everything. I have now ordered 5kg on the Internet at a reasonably favourable price.

The smoke generator was purchased from MEDI on ebay. I don't think you can use it horizontally. And yes.....I am still happily married. ▲

Hey guys
I had a go at the smoke generator today. I've got it working. When I step on the gas, it smokes when I want it to. Here is a short video. ▲

Hello
Today the Britannia got water under the hull for the first time. Everything is tight and I've managed to pack in a good 6kg of ballast. Let's see how I can accommodate that.

Hello Alessandro
Yes, this is a brass propeller. They're not cheap, but I just think they're nicer. And you have more power. I have used brass propellers on all the boats I have built. ▲

How beautiful this propeller is.
Is it brass? The one I put in is cheap plastic. In hindsight I should have put in a quality propeller (even if it is metal colored). The work to change it is too difficult, for now I leave it like this. In addition, your propeller will have a better performance and will be very resistant. ▲

Hello
So, I left the paper completely underneath. It was so tight, now it stays where it is. I also greased and inserted the shaft, fitted the screw and tested everything. The servo and drive work perfectly. Chopped off The fuselage still looks like Hempels under the bed, but I'll tidy that up later

Hey Wolle,
I just had a thought (happens once or twice a year😉). There's a great device, been around for decades, that should be ideal for this job.😀 It’s called ... (Wait for it😁) . . . . . . . A Filing Cabinet 😉😂🤣 OK OK I was just leaving no need to push! Cheers, Doug😎 ▲

Thanks to you Alessandro and Stephen.
The ceiling is falling on my head. That's why I told my wife to get me something from the caravan or I'd get divorced. Then I got it myself in the dark in the evening. No, she was happy to do it. I started working on the burr on the 700 or so white metal parts. I've finished the first of 14 bags. The second picture is of the next bag.

Hello
I'm a bit frustrated. I haven't got round to tinkering since I last posted here. My foot is still swollen and I'm praying to God that the joint capsule hasn't been damaged. My wife has already tried to bring in parts of my boat, but that's no good either. I know me.......then I've just started and then I need a little file or something. Nah, I'm not up for that either. But I'll get back to it at some point, I promise. ▲

So...I've finished the rear curve of the deck and glued it.
Don't worry, the excess at the end of the deck will be sanded down later. Now I just have to make curved strips on the sides.

Hello, hello
Small upgrade I've just been to the rear timbers. I took a few leftover pieces of wood of the same thickness and painstakingly sanded them into round timbers, it fits... the problem and I noticed it later when all the round strips were finished... it's completely different wood, so I'll do it again but now I have templates🤣 So I glued 3 normal strips lengthwise and called it a day. When they're dry, I'll carry on ▲

Hello
Small upgrade The deck for the bollards and the anchor winch are ready. I'm slowly getting the hang of it. Actually, I didn't need to do the caulking under the anchor plate because you can't see it afterwards. But now I know that it's there too.

Hello, hello
The beginning has been made. I wrapped the deck in bread paper and cut the first strips to size and glued them. When the bollards are on top, you can no longer see the dots, but they will still be sanded. Before the strips were glued, I painted the edges with a pencil so that they would have a dark caulk.

Hello, it continues, a bit confusing. Anyway, I have started with the bridge, the deck is still being planked but more on that later.

Hello
Small upgrade The strips for the deck won't arrive until next week. In the meantime I've started on the sulkin, the bridge and the saloon and have cut the parts to size.

Hi Wolle,
This is just my 2 cent's worth. Whilst the printed deck planks look alright. In my opinion some of the deck planks should be "Joggled" of course it all depends on how much time you wish to spend and how far you are prepared to go with realism. Also the "King" plank or the plank that runs along the centre line can be wider than the rest of the deck planks. Cheers, Stephen. ▲

Today I took the first steps for the planking and marked the base plates of the mast, bollard and anchor winch so that I know how far I have to plank. Unfortunately the strips haven't arrived yet. But I'll let you know when I get started.
Gary, that looks great. I'm not quite sure how I'm going to do it yet.

Hi Wolle, I am curious with regard to your deck planking, as in have you made a start or not, and what are you using for caulking between the planks. This is an idea of mine that works rather well and looks very authentic. The two decks on my puffer have 1mm black rigging cord used as caulking, this was stretched tight and secured under the deck with super glue, mind this has to be completed before the deck is glued down. Check out the photo, the end of plank lines is a HB pencil line into a knife cut, as is the nail heads. Regards, Gary. (Note genuine chain driven rudder.)

Hi Wolle, I too proceeded with the strips from the center outwards, it seemed more logical to me that way.
I also colored the edges of the strips black before putting them in place. I used graphite from soft pencils. This way there is no need to leave gaps between the slats. These spaces are useful for those who simulate caulking using cardboard or black plastic. Once the deck is painted, the graphite will not go away with water. ▲

Hey Alessandro
The print on the deck is a bit inaccurate in places, 6 - 7 mm planks, so I decided on 6 mm. I'll have to see about the caulking. I saw a video on YouTube where the sides were painted black before they were glued. I'll work from the inside out with the planks. I've never read or seen that anywhere but it somehow makes sense to me. (But I'm not a Vulcan) Hello Gary Yes, your deck looks great too. I'll definitely test it on scrap wood and the anti-roll keels are already on, thanks for the tip. Yes, the price is crazy, but I just had to have it, I sold my coin collection for it. You just have to set priorities ▲

Hi Wolle, I have been looking at your progress, and it seems to be coming along nicely. I see you are in the throws of trying to sort out and make some sense of the hundreds of white metal fittings, I think you need to be a touch physic for this task. I didn't plank the plywood decking and used an oak wood dye which worked out quite well, mind a wise move would be to practise on a bit of scrap wood first. keep up the good work, and remember the bilge keel which stops the boat rocking from side to side when on the move. Regards, Gary. (I couldn't believe the price of the kit it was frightening.)

Thanks for the reply Wolle.
Very very interesting choice of woods, I'm curious to see how they will present themselves in life because they are not very common in Italian model shops. The width of the strips is slightly less than that of the deck drawing, right? Do you already have an idea of how to proceed to simulate the caulking? ▲

Hi Wolle, this seems like a great procedure.
Leaving the deck like this would have been much easier and quicker, but with real slats it will look much more beautiful and realistic, especially with the caulking between the slats themselves. If the test goes well you can apply it to the naval model, if it doesn't convince you you give up (excellent idea). Furthermore, consider that testing on a wooden board will still be more difficult because it does not have the drawing (like your deck has). Therefore, if the test succeeds, you can rest assured about the battens on the deck. ▲

After much consideration, I have decided to at least try it out on a piece of leftover wood. If that works, I will most likely do some new deck planking. Thank you for the thought-provoking idea ▲

Yesterday I cut the upper deck support to size. I haven't glued the decks on yet. Not until the hull is painted, i.e. when it's warmer or in the boiler room at work. Then I started to remove the unevenness on the deck superstructure.

Hi Wolle, if you still have time try to make a wider opening at the stern.
In case of replacing the rudder servo, will you be able to work and take it out with that little space available? Maybe the photo is deceiving me but it seems very narrow to me. Also hear the opinions of other modelers. If the space is sufficient, ignore this intervention of mine. ▲

It's only going sooooooo slowly.
I've finished the stern with the rudder and put filler on the rudder mount on the hull. That has to dry now, then I'll sand it again. I've also glued the motor mount in place with epoxy resin. Now we're moving along slowly. Because of the poor description, you have to look around a lot, try things out, adjust, think about and compare how this and that could go. But I see it as a challenge, so I have to really challenge the one brain cell I have.

I repaired the rudder by gluing in a piece of metal wire. So far it's working. Then I glued in the stern tube with epoxy resin, that's also in place. Next I'll glue in the motor mount. More on that later.

Hello
I had a slight problem with the rudder. When I glued the rudder mount, epoxy resin ran down the rudder, right down to the pin. Bang. Bombproof. When I removed it, the nipple on the rudder broke off. After the initial shock and a lot of thinking, I drilled out the piece and also drilled a 2 mm hole in the rudder. Now I'm going to get a 2 mm winning rod and then we'll see.

Hello Alessandro
At the moment I would use 90 degrees on one side and about 30 degrees on the other. I still have to test that out. I'll see what I can do with the lever. Mike's idea (thank you) isn't bad. I have to see if it works with the deck. But I'm not worried about that yet. 1. We're all model makers, so there's no such thing as "can't do". 2. I know that I'm not alone in this forum. ▲

Hi Wolle, how many degrees can you make in these conditions?
I mean the angle formed by the longitudinal axis of the ship and the rudder, seen from above. If you think the rudder travel is enough for turning then that's fine. If not, you can reduce the length of the rudder arm. Don't cut the original one straight away, do some tests first. ▲

So we continue with the rudder bracket or rudder stand. For this I had to drill more holes in the hull and I didn't feel comfortable doing it but what must be done must be done. Then I adjusted the rudder bracket. I will glue it in like this later, the gaps will no longer be visible afterwards.

I also looked at the planking just hinted at in overlay. It is a very accurate kit because it shows it.
I was curious about how they did it: they tapered the first planking strips and then crossed and shortened the subsequent ones. Since the shape is very bulging, the result is a hull that is difficult to make with single strips. ▲

Mine is 1/60 scale. It is the third of four in total.
The two lateral ones suspended from the sides of the ship are more slender and with the stern similar to the bow (I tried to make them similar to those I have seen in some images of the time). This is one of the two central ones, wider. I am undecided whether to equip this one with a rudder too. Does yours include a rudder? ▲

The lifeboat that you see upside down (and therefore the hull is clearly visible) is very similar to the one I drew and that I am slowly making. A nice and curious coincidence. Then I'll show you. ▲

I've had a lot to do in my private life, so I haven't made much progress.
I did start on the ship's stand today, but I still need to get hold of a few wooden strips. I then sanded down the bumps on the hull and that's the first and definitely not the last question for you. Are those all spitting holes in the pictures? The description of the ship is very minimalist. That's why my question is, do I have to open the holes or would you?
