Hi Pete

Many thanks for the compliments. Been an interesting and at times challenging project.......always aspired to a proper plank on frame build ever since I read Peter danks hms mrymidon articles in model boats magazine many years ago. Never thought I'd ever get there but.....steady as she goes!

The next project along with chucks cutter cheerful will be.......... The Washington galley courtesy of the nrg , currently studying the plans and practicum and waiting for my boxwood to arrive.

Looking forward to a fully framed build

Cheers....mick

hi all

hms triton cross section is now finished!

i havnt rigged the training tackles.

i like the model in its simple uncluttered form.

the relieving tackles were never going to be fitted as ive left the deck planks off to help show the deck construction.....this was a contributing factor in not fitting the rest of the tackles.

i have however fitted the stanchions and rails around the hatchway.....pretty much a direct lift from the swan class practicum.

once again thanks to all the staff and moderators whose work in preparing the plans made my humble attempt even possible!

final photos enclosed.

cheers....mick

 

 

 

p.s. excuse the junk in the final photo.old flatscreen awaiting collection by a fella who i work with!

Beautiful work, Mick.  Congratulations.   As for how long the next one takes?  It will take as long as it takes...One can't rush things, right?  ;)
