    Thank you Mark. Yes, I,d like to full planking in and outside of port side. Starboard side will be left unplanked except wale and reband. Lee

    Port side inner hull planking, limber board and bolting Inner hull between thick stuffs of port side were planked. Planking boards were tapered and dropped at the ends of fore and aft. To simulate bolting, blackened steel pins were nailed. Two kinds of bolt heads, square and round size of around 1mm, were tried but they seem to be oversized in this small scaled ship.

    Many thanks Antony for your kind words. I learn lots of skills and tips from the logs of this forum everyday to bring her up. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Lee

    Thick stuff, footwaling, mast step, hooks and aft magazine I decided to plank only the port side to see the inner parts after finishing this ship. As one trial, half of aft magazine platform was planked. To get some contrast, I choose lumber of bright domestic pear wood for the planking board. Cheers,

    Tip - Joining Clamp In this small scale model, the spacing between frames is very narrow, sometimes less than 1mm, holding parts after gluing is somewhat difficult. For this, I made special clamping tool and found that it is quite useful and handy, so I introduce it to all. As can be seen at last pic, it can be made easily with paper clip and small wood block and wedge without special tools. Cheers

    Really amazing masterpiece!

    Many thanks Nils for your compliment. Small update today. Lower thick stuffs are added with steam bent long strakes. She becomes stronger day by day.

    Thank you Christian. I sincerely appreciate your comments. By the way, it would be another question, why Goodwin drew this odd shaped design? He is responsible for this as an author of book. Is there any one who can get in touch with Goodwin?

    Hi, Allan. Thank you for your interest on my building log. I'm following the plan of "Anatomy of the Ship" series written by Goodwin. Yes, there are evenly spaced 6 gun ports at each side of hull and also, some of top timber are used as the post supporting the sheer rail. In my understanding, the shifting of top timbers is assumed to accommodate the mismatch of gun port and frame position. Anyway, it is quite unique frame design. Lee

    Hi, Mark. Thank you for your kind comments. I've reviewed some logs in this forum to get the answer and found that the clutch and breast hook placed over the planking from the log "HMS Naiad" by EdT. So I'll de-bond the hook and score the bottom to fit to the profile of planking boards. Lee
  11. Jaekon Lee
    Thank you for kind words, John. She is growing every day. ♡♡ I have a question to all. Is the crutch or breast hook joined directly on the frame or on the inner hull planking board? I think I made a mistake as shown on the photo.

    Keelson and limber strake Small update by joining keelson and limber strake but, the structure became a little stronger one.

    Hi, John. You are building very attractive ship. I hope you can fix the problem soon and enjoy the following works. Merry Christmas. Lee

    Thank you for kind comment, Mark. I agree with you about the importance of frame alignment. I've thought about using base plate with squaring jig but I concluded it would be useless due to the irregularity of frame shape. Fortunately, frames are flexible enough, I'll try to adjust frames to keep alignment and symmetry during joining cross members. Lee

    Finishing frame structure I've finished joining all the frames including fashion piece and wing transom. Counter timbers and other transom structures will be added later. As was done at fore cant frames, aft cant frames also glued to the deadwood directly without paring out the deadwood. Bearding line, the locus of cant frame feet on deadwood, was estimated with the help of Christian's plan. Below the bearding line, deadwood was tapered to the rabbet of the keel and stern. Though, the shape and spacing of frames are not well ordered, it began to seem like a boat, at least.

    So generous and kind, Antony. Thank you all for visiting this log and leave likes.

    Hi, Chuck. What a beautiful cutter you are building! Recently, I started building 'Naval Cutter Alert' and, with your log, I found it is almost same ship to Cheerful. So, your building log is quite helpful to me. Thanks. Lee

    Thank you David for your kind words. I also hope l can prepare small woodworking workshop soooon.

    Forward cant frame and hawse pieces. After all the square frames were joined with glue to the keel assembly, forward cant half frames and hawse pieces were glued. It was also not clear, there is no sign of scoring or mortising on the apron at the plan of Goodwin, I glued cant frames directly on the forward apron. The feet of them were matched to just above the rabbet line. Now, I'm going to aft.

    Thanks Christian, I'm so happy to hear you. Let's see how she will grow up.

    Thank you Christian for kind comments and sharing your thoughts. As I said, I'm not sure that Goodwin's frame design is authentic or not. In his book, he described the frame structure as a set of one double frame and two single frames is repeated but, he didn't mention anything about the shape of each frame. I'm curious how he designed this frame shape. I can find the similar frame design from the plan of HMS Pandora which was built in similar period. Anyway, I would like to follow Goodwin's book to respect his efforts. LEE

    Square frames All the parts of frame were cut out from pear boards of three different thickness and glued to the square frames. After glued joints dried, all the frames were roughly trimmed and beveled to the final shape. Smoothing the inner and outer surfaces will be done after they are joined with keel. As shown on Goodwin's framing plans, most of 2nd futtocks and top timbers are shifted from lower timbers. I don't know this unique design of frame is the same as that of original ship. Though building frame of this design seems to be very tough, it is very attractive point especially for this small scale. Following pics show the progress of work. In these pics, frames are not glued yet but inserted to rising wood of the keel assembly. LEE

    Now, I'm on the way of cutting square frame parts with the pattern of chock joint manner as Goodwin's drawing. All the frame shape is extracted from his body, half breadth and sheer plans. Time to time, imaginations were required at the ambiguous points because his drawings do not contain all the information. Anyway, I'm enjoying woodworking rather than paper working. Look at some pics about my messy table.

    Soooo kind of you, Christian. I sent PM Many thanks Daniel and Learner. I feel I got a seat at this nice forum. Lee
  25. Jaekon Lee
    Thank you Christian and Pat for kind words. Christian, of course, I already found your excellent posts about Alert and read them several times. About the aft bearding line, I'm just guessing you draw it from the intersection of surfaces of deadwood and cant frames with the aid of CAD. Unfortunately, because I am so old fashioned person, I am not able to use CAD or other digital tools. So, your drawing would be very helpful for my hand drawing of bearding line and feet of cant frames.

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
