H.M.S. Triton (Cross Section) by ollagynot - FINISHED - 1:48


Recommended Posts

  • 4 weeks later...

Just got back from traveling over the holidays and I have found some time to start on the decking. I decided to use a pencil, an art pencil "EBONY jet black extra smooth", for simulated caulking.  The first picture shows the waterways which I have clamped down after steaming.

 

Thanks,

Tony

Thanks you for all the likes and comments so far!  Finally got around to completing the lower deck today, ready to move on to making the lower deck spirketting and gun deck clamps.  I decided to attempt to take some nicer photos (more in focus), most of the photos posted before where taken with a cell phone.

 

Thanks,

Tony

I tried making the deck beams differently on the gun deck.  Rather than shape the deck beams on the sander and then cut the notches in them with the mill, I cut the notches first, with the table saw and then got the final shape/camber of the beams with the sander afterword's. The results were identical but it was much faster to cut the notches first with the table saw.

 

The last picture shows most of the major components of the deck cut out. Next is gluing and fitting. The beams and carlings are made of cherry.

 

Thanks for following along,

Tony

Thanks for the comment Bob, means a lot coming from a talented builder like yourself.

 

I have fitted and glued all the major deck components and dry fitted it into the hull. This deck is coming along much nicer than the lower deck. I am more happy with my joint work this time around.

 

I was wondering if anyone could tell me what would be on the lower deck in this section of the ship, cable tier? Any info would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Tony

Tony, 

 

The lower deck as shown is the "berth deck".  There were small cabins toward the stern and the rest was open for hanging hammocks and possibly some storage.

 

Below that in the hold, just aft of the cross section appears to be the cable tier.  Both fore and aft of the cross-section area are storerooms, magazines, etc.

I had been a little intimidated by the cannons, I was unsure if I would be able to produce two similar cannons (still a newbie with the lathe).  I turned them on my Sherline lathe out of brass and I'm pretty happy with how they came out.  I also used the lathe to turn the Carriage Wheels with the grain running along the length of the wheel.  The wheels took a couple of tries, I broke a few.  Still need to blacken the cannon and add a few more parts to the carriage.

Hello,

 

nice color combination and very clean work. I bought my barrels for cannons but turned your own it is a different level - yours look super.

Thanks Pete38,

 

 

Small update, took a little beak from the deck to start the Sheet bitts. They are made from bloodwood. I decided to make them from multiple pieces in layers like plywood. Sorry, the pictures are in the wrong order.

 

Thanks,

Tony

Sorry to be behind here, but what was done to get that central piece of the layering so thin?
