GuntherMT Posted October 4, 2014 Share #31 Posted October 4, 2014 Looks very interesting. It now appears that you are doing a full scratch build in the kit area to keep us all confused.

"Moderation is the order of the day!" otherwise you're going to build a catamaran... Here te latest news: Here you see the inner part placed on the beech plywood strip and below the Stern & Stem - but the keel!!! Is it possible that a nearly 60ft long keel is made from one single pice of tree??? And the plank under it is also from one pice??? Due to the Mondleld's rule "No plank was longer than 35ft" I ask my question.

mtaylor Posted October 5, 2014 Share #34 Posted October 5, 2014 Christian, In real life, the keel would have been made from 2 or 3 pieces of wood and put together using a hooked scarf joint. Go to the early pages of Danny Vada's Vulture log to see the joint. druxey 1 Quote Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small Stuff Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share #36 Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) Thaks a lot - inbetween I made some progress in the workshop: I've got some tooling equipment by eating not so and avoiding contatct to cigar dealers -so saved the money for this. The framed ship in the background is the Georgian "Experiment" from the "50 Gun Ship" but far too big to be built in 1/2" and on its right the "HMS Hood" of the era of uncertainy Admirals-class copied from "Birth of the Battleship" and framed on VC-cross red ground... she and the giant gun fitted "Benbow" are the favorites of this era to me... But to be realistic towards my capacitys to steam & sail I'll have to turn my mind towards the Crimean Gunboats under 110' Lpp or the later screw sloops with board side guns... and without guns in 3/4 turrets. The next projects will still be Revenue Cutters under Sail. For ships of this size under 1.000 m/m I prepared the workshop: Edited October 8, 2014 by Small Stuff trippwj and tadheus 2 Quote My carpetmonster adapted to laminate flooring!

Small Stuff Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share #37 Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) Hello again, I. As the sideview only gives us the position of the deck's superstructure, an auxilliary source may give us the rigt deepon deck... the 14 years older 31 3/95 cutter may be a good reference to look at. Also a sceptic view to the bigger sisters of this class type's trio may be usefull. So I added them, too. What do you think about this? II. I wasn't in the workshop this night - I still was thinking, drinking and constructing my RC's backbone. So I got some solutions and some more problems figured out: So I highlighted these areas with yellow circles for you. The mast's area will be easily supportet against cracking by adding softwood and drill the mast's hole inside. But the staircases area is still a problem and the reduced bulkhead destabilised this part of the construction additivly. Have you any solutions for this, too?

mtaylor Posted October 9, 2014 Share #39 Posted October 9, 2014 Chris, I guess I'm not seeing the problem you circled. The bulkhead could be trimmed out in center area for the ladder.

Small Stuff Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share #41 Posted January 3, 2015 Due to the massive reconstruction to be done in here I decided to stop this project. But it is not destroyed - I just "put it on ice" as we say in Germany, when something has to wait until other things are done. Chris Quote My carpetmonster adapted to laminate flooring!
