HMS Race Horse Build Log - Day 2

Day 2 - 2 Hours Work

After healing from that silly cut, it's time to get back to work! 

I almost miss out the bulkheads beveling part which is so much important in ship modelling. Beveling is done to allow more area contact between the bulkhead and planks, so that planking can stick tight on position. Check out picture below:

Importance of Beveling 

The red circle shows that if beveling work is not done, minimal contact will cause weak joint between bulkhead and plank. Not only weak joint! But will also create unnecessary Clinker Effect. 

So, this is what I've done. The Sergal instruction shows only first few bulkheads need to be beveled, but I personally think it's best to do all. It doesn't take even 30 minutes after all!!

Beveled Bulkheads

OK, Let's get back to the signature! Which cost a scar on my big thumb!! 
I'm placing that right beneath the extra hatch that I make, which is between bulkhead #6 and #7. To make it looks better, I've also made planking within all visible area. 
The rectangular board is where the signature will be! :)

Sign HERE!

The stamp seal comes with 3 colours: gold, silver, and red. Since it will be dark inside, so I chose more shiny colours.. gold and silver!! :D

In the Melting Spoon

A breath on the copper seal head + a slight press on wax... oh ya, and a drippy drippy :D
I named it "Planet Z and Its Moon" XD

Planet "Z" and Its Moon

So, it's basically how it looks like now.. :)

Sit Fit!!!
