michael101 got a reaction from coxswain in HMS Victory by michael101 - Caldercraft - Scale 1:72 February 23, 2018

Hello there
finally I can update my build log ...

here is some pictures from installing the patterns process
I can say that edge of the second pattern at the top doesn't mach withe edge of the firs one (at the bottom )
also at the curve of the bow section ....
same thing between the third pattern to the second
so I found the way to know how much you need to trim from the pattern to get full touch between the edges
I have install the first pattern temporarily and then I was putting the secunde patterned I let hem lie on the edge of the first pattern
then I marked the edge of the secunde pattern at the bottom of the first pattern :
like in this picture :

after marking I took the first pattern out and trimed the edge to the line that I have marked....
I did the same thing at the second pattern by using the third one (at the third the problem was at the bow section but it was a big problem to make them touch ....)

here its some pictures of the process :

Honestly I think being slowed down during this phase of the build is a good thing. Means you tend to take more time to double check and also get the benefit of taking a break from the model and returning with a fresh perspective which can allow for clearer eyesight to catch potential mistakes. Your layout and prefitting of the strakes looks real good. You should have a nice, clean planking job when done! Good luck!

Getting rady to the next stage
I saw some plank clampers at the internet also i saw them in some build logs ...
but after talking with Moxis i decide not to buy the due the expensive price and also i heard that the metal clamp its very week ...

so i decide to make my clampers by my self ...
i got the idea for the screws from Moxis ,
for the handles i have use the head of the push pins , i took the pins out and drilled the holl with 2 mm dia
the screws that i bought was 1.8 mm by the Moxis advice
and after cutting the head of the screws i have glue them to the handle by epoxy glue ,

for the clamp i have cut drill and bend aluminum

here is some pictures:
