Good afternoon to all. For a long time, I didn't have the opportunity to continue what I started, but now things are moving forward:). Colleagues!
On this quiet and not-yet-late evening, I have decided on the next steps in my shipbuilding project. The next step is the rough sheathing of the ship's hull. Due to the lack of free time, the speed of the ship's assembly has slowed down. Before starting work, I dismantled the ship's hull from the display stand. It has become inconvenient to firmly attach the model, so I suggest building it in a foam box. It's relatively soft so as not to spoil the model.
All the preparatory work is completed, it's time to start. Before starting the cladding, we arm ourselves with…
Wood material linden rail 5x2x50mm.
Wood material birch rail
5x2x30mm. from the magazine set from Diagostini.
Tools and consumables
Nails 10x0.7mm
Nailing tool
Mini drill + 0.7mm drill bit
PVA glue (red)
Wood flour
Iron
Rack soaking bottle
Shlivmashina + renovator
Sandpaper, sponge, bar.
A knife for cutting rails.
The motor for narrowing the slats. I
started roughing the hull.
A) Fitting the slats on the model body, marking with a pencil from where the rail needs to be narrowed. Marking with a pencil the location of the nails in the projection of the frames.
B) Next, I made holes with a 0.7 mm drill bit and narrowed the rail on a sandpaper.
C) Soak in hot water for 10' - 15' When soaking the rails, there is a problem that there is no container in which you can place the rail completely, but in my case, it is not necessary to soak the rail completely, in this case, I soak in a glass bottle from under beer.
In order to avoid cracking and breaking of the rail in places of sharp bends. You can also bend over steam.
G) Once again, I try it on the body, and if everything is satisfactory, I apply PVA glue to the rail and immediately attach it with nails. Since the nails are very small and it is inconvenient to hammer them in, it is best to use a nail gun. I have such a tool in my arsenal. This made the process much faster. However, a small hammer
