Murdo Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 8 hours ago, longshanks said: I've been working on a timber warehouse as a back drop to the jetty . . Frame Biggest problem encountered at this scale was window frame size and consistent squares Early attempt Thread The answer was draw the frame at x10 actual size and then reduce it on a copier. The frame area was waxed and stuck to the back of the frame. I used 0.3mm square plastic After the pieces were set the waxed paper was gently removed and we take another step forward . . . and propped in position Another step closer to roughing out the dio ........... Thanks for looking in Kev Sorry, bit baffled... The window frames (i.e. what the glass panes would be puttied into in) are made of thread? If so, are they firmed up with something such as CA? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I confused you. The thread was a way of forming the frames as it was easy to line up to a template and yes it was strengthened with CA. . As it turned out I wasn't happy with the texture. Thanks for the support one and all. Feeling much better thanks Richard Kev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnWS Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Luv the well worn look on the hull. Kev. In the photos, she looks like she's had a hard life. The jetty uprights look they've be bleached by the sun. I hear the UK gets some sun from time to time. ☔ Maybe some dark (water & oil) staining on the the uprights, & green & oil coloured waterline scum should do the trick.
