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

I also had to add block fillers at the bow between the blocks that i made before to the pttern suport
You can see in the post above pictures that the block fillers are installed in both sides

There is also a very important thing that you must pay attention before installing the last pattern between bulkhead 16 to bulkhead 17
the gun port its very hegh and when you will need to drill the center of the gun port for the cannon , you will not have good space to drill
so i had to glue a piece of wood between the cannon support to the deck to have enough place to drill
here is a picture (the pucture its before painting it black ...)

So before anything i want to share my idea
about how to band the patterns / planks qt the bow
im not sure if i will use the plank bander or haer dryer
but i made this jig :
i took a photo copy of the front pattern suport to get the exact curve and then i shaped some wood as the exact curve using the scrall saw and sand disc
on the top i made a stoper with a space as the thick of the plank/pattern
here is some picures

I have not built this kit but this is a common problem in many kits. While I know this is not helpful advice, I'm thinking you are just going to have to get creative with sanding and shimming to get the alignments right. Hopefully someone may have better suggestions or have built this kit and dealt with this issue. Just part of the fun of wooden ship building!
You are doing great on it so far and will get this figured out also!

Hello Michael,
I looked into my photos and managed to find this from my model. Although the image is not very clear, if you look closely I had the same problem. As E.J. has already said you have to get down to shimming and sanding to fit it. As you go along the build, you will find other parts which will not fit perfectly and you have to adjust. The most important points to keep in position are the front, that is the height at bulkhead no.1, the middle, and for the gunport to be flash with the front of gunport 17. Keep those as accurate as possible. Also what you have to watch for is for the top of the pattern at the back where on you photo you have marked in a red box. Make sure that the distance from top edge of the gallery support to the top edge of the pattern is the same on both sides of the ship, that is, on the port side and the starboard side. The misalignment at the back of the pattern can be sanded later on when fitting the stern fascia inner skin n. 374. If the misalignment is not too big, that is more or less as shown in the images, it should not be a problem.
I hope this is clear for you and you will find it of help.
Robert

Also it says that the gun port must to be flash with the front of bulkhead 17 , the problem is that if it will flash with the gallery pattern all the way so it will never be flash with the front of bulkhead 17 !
So from all that question it must be falsh only in the middle (or the first third as the picture of the factory )
and after glue the patterns need to sand the axcess material from the back line of the gallery support also from the doagonal adge of the gallery support all the way to the kill to be flash as the gallery suport ! And need also to glue a little piece of wood from the middle to the top at the gallery suport to be flash with the line of the gun port
please correct me if im wrong
