Hello friends after a row of senseless eye operations I'm back in here... working on the Chapelle-plans. That's all in here. Yours Stan Edit here the drawingboard:

Hello friends, here my project of the Dove... A beauty by her lines and rigging, ...and a ship well documented and of a good size for a scale 1/2=ft Lpp: 42' - 11'' = 1' 9.6'' B moulded: 13' - 0'' = 6.6' D.: 6' - 2'' So I'll get a model about some 900 mm Loa and without stand nearly as high as long - at a beam of some 170 mm. A big model but a flate-able one in "The American Fishing Schooner" of Howard I. Chapelle you can find three very good plates of the Canadian pilot schooner "Dove". Biult in 1875 by Sylvester S. Baltzer in Preaux. Nova Scotia. She was owened by Cptn. James George a pilot. She was Canadian - proofed by the text in the index of H.I. Chapelle's book ( p.686). "Dove, Canadian pinky". But what is the right flag to her? So my question is the to the flag - blue or red canadian ensign? But this article confusede my completly: http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/gb-pilot.html#pilot Or does this article deals with the flag used on a ship to show they are under pilots order on the bridge? My english is not good enough for this... Thanks for your help, Chris

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

Hello friends of the saw,# due to the fact that I'm permanendly in trainings and teachings I've got no time really to work on my model. So here is the very last progress - the backbone is redy to take in the drawings for the bulkheads slots:
-
I nearly forgot the reality-check!!! Does it realy fits in the place where I want to put it laterly???

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? Thanks a lot, Chris

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:

"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. Looking foreward toward your answers, Christian

Hello forum, I've been able to buy the wood for the innen parts of the hull for less than 20€ - it's cuttonwood and beech plywood. Beech for the moulds and the backbone... cuttonwod as filling softwood. I found some dignified substitute for a magnifying glass. Here today's results for you - hopingyou've got fun with this fist steps:
-
And the hole sideview for the 4x600x100mm board for the backbone:
-
Hy to all of you, and before disappearing to the diy-shop here the check of the most outside moulds:
-
Here the next step - the moulds/bulkheads: cut out to square and put together - it fits!
-
Thanks a lot - the block of softwood will make it easyer than I thought. So I'm still on track. I figured out that the bulkheads are drawn without planking. And by this I could saw them out directly and use them as moulds. The backbone is also 4mm thick - so I can use for the moulds and the backbone the same pice of plywood. But what kind of plywood I should buy tomorrow? Yours, Christian
-
In a hurry - the pictures of the first scetches on transparent paper. The most beloved problem is the joining of the mast's underdeck part and bulkhead "F" - I think I will surround the part with massive softbook to bore ther in - does this make sence in reality??? Yours, Chris
