H.M.S Enterprise plank on frame CAF Models 1/48.

What about using artist ink to stain? I used some once to stain light coloured timber strips in red and blue and then sealed with white shellac. They turned out superb. Staining with black ink should do a decent job in simulating ebony. Or how about using black hornbeam to simulate ebony. Looks very similar. I have some strips in my stock bought from Ebay from Russia and it looks very good.

[QUOTE = "Brian077, innlegg: 43213, medlem: 4000"] Hei folkens,
Du kan aldri ha for mange klemmer. Har vært planking med tyrkisk boxwood.
Dette materialet jeg kutter meg og trenger en endelig sandpapir for å glatte den av.

great work you hawe done, interesting loog that i vil follwTommel opp
 
Hi Brian.
Catching up on your build. This is certainly a masterful build. That looks like a center island table you are building from while the paremeter has all your tools ???
That is just all too awesome.
 
Hi Brian,

I love the Turkish boxwood, it will create a beautiful contrast with the cherry frame and black wales.
Coming to the wales you didn't place them yet? Are you putting these on top of the planking?
 
Hallo Brian,
your planking is looking very good......great appearance - you should update more often, so we can see this great model much more often :cool:

Hi Maarten,
I know its probably incorrect, but I find it easier to do the wales after planking. Happy Xmas buddy.
