Redshirt got a reaction from Canute in THE 74-GUN SHIP by Jeronimo
A 74 at 1:36 should be about 2 metres long without rigging, did you rent an extra house for it?

Redshirt got a reaction from mtaylor in scarf joints
I would like to add that a healthy amount of wooddust mixed with some glue will brush up small inaccuracies/gaps rather well.

Redshirt got a reaction from mtaylor in Question regarding deck lines
I was thinking about Ancre's Cygne monograph. Jack.Aubrey is currently building an amazing Guadalupe and one of the plans he posted shows a small line, which i assume to be the deckline. -> http://s46.photobucket.com/user/tom-pullings/media/Brick%20de%2024%20Plans/nave_zps4d5c5a31.jpg.html(second curved line below the gunports).

Redshirt got a reaction from mtaylor in Question regarding deck lines
I have a question about deck lines on the sheer plan. Do they correspond to the middle of the deck or to the deck's sides?
Mondfeld mentions that they show the highest point (therefore the middle of the deck) but on other plans they seem to show the deck's lowest point, therefore the side.
What is right?

Redshirt got a reaction from mtaylor in Some criteria for starting a new group project
I like all of thes projects but especialy Halifax which is relatively small yet has some ornamentation. My only concern would be how to get the plans for the vessel.
Smaller sized vessels can also be built at a larger scale, which is nice.

Redshirt got a reaction from Canute in Imperial or metric for lathes and mills?
It should be kept in mind that even imperial units do not always correspond to the current imperial system. (english foot to the french pied de roi is an example which might be important for french ships).

Redshirt got a reaction from mtaylor in monography of the "hermione"
Are you certain about this? On Delacroix's website the ordering details of most of his monographs can be read in several languages but the monographs themselfs are mostly available in french (or italian...or spanish). For example there seems to be no english translation for Amarante, Diligente, Roquefort, Fleur de Lis and Aurore.

Redshirt got a reaction from dgbot in Help with dry brush technqiue
The technique is often used in miniature painting, especialy when quantity is required. While it isn't boat related this video pretty much shows (either to your customer or whoever else might want to learn it) perfectly well how it is done

Redshirt got a reaction from BareHook in How to get close fitting "connections"
OK, the threadtitle might be a bit stupid but im having a real problem here.
Im currently trying to cut and assemble the various parts of a ship's keel but im constantly frustrated by the low accuracy of my work. I tried cutting/sawing as accurately as possible but with little success. I tried leaving something "extra" to later sand it to shape with the Dremel but this isn't working either. Especialy conkave surfaces and these damnable scarph joints (can't cut them with the tablesaw since the lower side of the round blade of course cuts a bit further than the upper side) give me trouble so im asking for advice.
How do you people manage such tight connections between the various parts of your ships's keel/stem/sternparts.
