Hi.

Thanks for all the likes.

The model is now packed away until the kitchen is finished. With the builders and kitchen fitters everywhere I would not garnatee it's safety.

Will start again @ the end of June.

But that will not stop me making the ladders and the roof hexagonal plates.

Not sure yet what I will use to make them. Copper sheet or plasticard. I have a punch to make the shapes. The bits I have been reading suggest that they used blades rather than spikes. Not sure which I will go with.

 

Thanks for looking in.

Regards Antony.

Hi.

Thanks for all the likes.

Sorry for the brief descriptions on the photos.

The main deck is planked with spruce. At this scale the grain looks just right for Pine that would have been used on the real ship.

 

The rudder is not going to be fixed until the model is complete as it protrudes way below the bottom of the ship.

 

I might remake the Anchor winch as the drum does not look right. Needs to be from a core of the tree.

 

The Drum stand was mad then chips cut to give it a bit of texture. The drum skin is shamny leather.

 

The Anchor was a interesting as it has tendons through the shank and the arms.

 

The Bow and Stern ends have working doors. The hole for the gunpoint was milled out on a jig on my proxxon mill.

 

The handrails are made from cherry and need to be put through the sander to finish them.

 

All the ladders have been made. Lots of ladders on this ship. And only 2 decks.

 

The Top deck planking is Tulip wood. Have made this 10 mm wider than nessary as I'm not sure on how it's going to fit.

 

And finally the ship as of yesterday. Turning out to be a large ship model.

Have found some Korean soldiers from that time period and at the same scale.

I will do the cutaway after the roof is in place. This will leave a 300mm hole in its side. And the edges that have been cut will be painted dull red.

The side pillars and the planking are under construction ATM and will take a few more photos as work progresses.

Will also take a photo of the jig for making perfect holes in the planks that cannot be drilled without splitting.

I have 24 holes to make so time making the jig is well spent.

 

Thanks for looking in.

Regards Antony

Hi.

Thanks for the likes.

It's a long way to travel to touch a piece of timber. But I know what you are saying.

Have made good progress yesterday with the pillars for the second deck. The second deck lines up perfect with the first deck.

Also made the ladders for the hold.

Will fit the rudder in position temporarily just to get the angle and fit right.

 

Photos later on in the day or tomorrow.

It's easy working from drawings. Pictures are a little more to the imagination and resurch.

The fact is no one knows the true details of the ship. Some evidence comes from ship wrecks that have been found. And scriptures that reference the turtle ship.

So it's my imagination that provides the rest of the jigsaw.

 

Just done a little resurch into the way they used there oars to propelled and steer the ship.

Inresting to note that the oar has a tie-down at the top end of the oar. Will do a mockup of this as it's interesting on how it works.

 

Thanks again.

That makes it even more special because once finished there won't be another one like it :) :) :)

Hi.

I agree Bob . But saying that most of the builds on MSW are unique as people add little bits to the ships that make them special.

 

I have a change of plan... as so to speak.

Instead of having a cutaway my sons has convinced me it would be better to have the roof and the second deck lift off.

This will be easy because there are four pillars at each corner of the ship. Location of the roof and second deck will be easy.

Not sure on how the masts will cope with this... make have them fixed to the roof and second deck. We will have to work that out as the build continues.

Have put the base on temporary to allow the oars and other objects to be placed on the ship.

Started working on the roof supports. Have cut then out but made them longer to allow bispoke fitting.

No photos on this post as posting on my tablet. Will post them next time ime on the PC.

Hi.

Sorry for the lack of updates.. 

Lots of progress .

 

The jig for making the oars. 16 in total . the angle is quite important.

post-2328-0-04223300-1464121536_thumb.jpg

 

My method of getting the angles spot on all the time. Helps with finishing the small bits.

post-2328-0-50987300-1464121544_thumb.jpg

 

Making the roof. The plywood is only there for positioning the 2 main beams

post-2328-0-49439500-1464121553_thumb.jpg

 

Roof beams now glued to second floor and bow and stern bulkheads.

post-2328-0-22950900-1464121566_thumb.jpg

 

Roof timbering in place. Ready to sand to profile. Plenty of weeds growing...no time for gardening... Ship building has priority.

i have made the second deck and roof removal.. will make it easer to view the interior of the model. Took a little planning but the results are very good.

Next task will be to plank the roof leaving a large area not planked. this will enable people to look inside the model.

I will be Turning the cannons from Acetel(Black) with blackened copper wire for the handles.

 

Thanks for looking in.

Hi.

Thanks for all the likes.

Your photographs make it appear that I could climb aboard the ship and stroll about the deck. Beautiful workmanship. It looks very authentic and real, not like a model.

Thank you so much. I like the last photo looking into the Bow door and up a bit.

 

The curves were easy. Made a jig for the cutting and another for the joint angles.

Amazing Antony. All the joints look to be spot on which is no mean feat taking those curves into account, well done mate :) :) :)

Roof planking started today. Planks are tapered and beveled to fit.

Cannons and planking on on the books for tomorrow.

 

Regards Antony.

HI.

Again sorry for the lack of updates.

The captains cabin.. He is the only person to have his own sleeping and private area.

post-2328-0-46254900-1465651857_thumb.jpg

 

The crews head's Just a hole in the deck to the sea or river.. 2 handles to hold on too. Very basic.

post-2328-0-02662700-1465651868_thumb.jpg

 

Captains quarters and another head behind. Not sure I should be using the term "Head" as they has there toilets in the stern area.

post-2328-0-90007300-1465651883_thumb.jpg

 

View of the roof after planking and sanding. Will add the copper hexagonal plates after sealing the wood( Makes it better for the adhesive to stick).

post-2328-0-96140500-1465651897_thumb.jpg

 

Roof hatches and gun port hatches added. The gunports are add because if the reading that I have done and the fact that the upper deck would have no purpose. ( I have never known the Korean people do anything with out purpose).

post-2328-0-04797500-1465651912_thumb.jpg

 

View with the gunports opened.

post-2328-0-81303200-1465651920_thumb.jpg

 

The guns.. The carriage is very basic and just a box. The handles are much to long and will be trimmed before fitting.

Not sure on how the elevated there guns.. 

post-2328-0-99809700-1465651932_thumb.jpg

 

Just boxes of all the bits I have constructed.

post-2328-0-83098600-1465651954_thumb.jpg

 

View showing the cutaway area. Never done a cutaway before... But Im'e pleased with it. Might break the no paint rule and do the cutaway edges Red.

post-2328-0-56090400-1465651964_thumb.jpg

 

 and another of the cutaway.

post-2328-0-12067700-1465651975_thumb.jpg

 

Will add the hatches after I have given them the cutaway.

post-2328-0-62419200-1465651984_thumb.jpg

 

And the last one.. of the hatches. Have put them opening in the downward direction.. 

Some drawings show opening lateral. it it was me I would have then opening from the top. More defence for the crew.

Thats it for now.
