kees de mol reacted to Siggi52 in HMS Bellona 1760 by SJSoane - Scale 1:64 - English 74-gun - as designed
Good morning Mark,
may be these pictures will help you. It's the Centurion 1732, 60 guns
The same picture as above,
but here I marked where the outer planking meet the bulkhead. Also seen at the picture below.
The other Bellona
and the Superb. I hope that these pictures will help you.

kees de mol reacted to DocBlake in HMS Blandford by DocBlake - FINISHED - 1/32 Scale - cross-section
I glued the hatches and the dales in place. I also made two mast wedge rings out of ebony, and glued one in place. The waterways and inboard planking (spirketing) are also installed and treenailed. The stub mast isn't glued down. The crank handles will be fitted when the bitts are added a little later. There is one coat of poly on the model.

I had some discussions about the construction of the chain pumps. Some wanted the pump housing and pump dales (the conduit for water from the cistern to the outside of the ship) painted black. This would suggest they were made of metal. Goodwin's book pretty much concedes the pump housing etc. were made of wood...elm specifically. I decided to build the pumps out of boxwood. I cut a blank to shape, added the boxwood supports and planked it with boxwood. The wheel covers were cut from some 5/8" dowel and sanded flat to create the half-cylinder shape. These were then planked with 1/16" thick boxwood.
I was going to add black treenails to simulate bolts holding the structure together, but I realized that the holes would only be about 1/32" diameter (1" in scale). At this size it wasn't really worth it. I just drilled holes for the bolt locations and darkened the holes with a lead pencil. I didn't bother to simulate bolts on the slats on the wheel
As mentioned, in the AOTS book, the cistern and sprocket wheel covers were clearly made of wood - the legend specifies they were elm. I don't think it would be wrong to leave the chain pumps and pump dales natural wood color. I may add some reinforcement banding to the dales for visual interest, but they weren't subject to a lot of internal pressure as elm tree pumps would have been, so they really weren't needed.

Except for the mast partners the lower deck framing is complete. I wiped it down with mineral spirits to give you an idea of how the finished product will look. I'm planning holly for the decking and bloodwood for the spirketing. The hatch coamings will be bloodwood and the grating boxwood. Next is the waterways and spirketing, then the chain pumps and hatches.

kees de mol reacted to Javier Baron in Ligurian Tartane by Javier Baron - FINISHED - scale 1:200
The tartana is finished. I have followed closely the monograph of the tartana Gemma (ANCRE), of Franco Fissore, although I have allowed myself some licenses because of the small scale. One of the aspects in which I have been guided totally by the monograph is in which the model has been rigged, with the jibs to starboard in a boom especially armed for it.
I hope the result will be to your liking, because I have really enjoyed doing this

For this model I am following the ANCRE monography of thr Gemma tartana, from which I put a picture.
It is possible that the size of the patches is a little too big to see, but I think it is due to its dark color, which contrasts a lot with that of the sails.

Hello,
thank you very much for the LIKES.
Currently I do the bowsprit gammoning.
The left handed ropes with a diameter of 0.9 mm were made on my own rope walk.
At the respective end an eye was spliced.
Here is the order for attaching the bowsprit gammoning:

Thanks for the many LIKES.
The bowsprit shrouds and the preventer-bobstay with chain have been completet in the meantime.
The bowsprit shrouds with eye splices, the bobstays and the preventer-bobstay with chain were installed so far. The lashings are only made firm if everything fits.
The bobstays are covered with leather.
The conclusion of the leather coats was secured with a closed band.
