I like a lot what you are doing on this model and her superb looks so far. As for being able to show off the interiors, I would suggest something like a lot of tackle boxes do. That being, the layers slide back so that each barely overlays the one beneath so that one can see all the little compartments inside.

Actually some time ago I started it, but was told to put on hold for a while because of lack of experience as that had been my first real try at a scale wooden model that was not a solid hull.
My idea is based off of the Grand Banks 49 Classic, then doubled her size. Would be in 1:48 scale, so would be large enough to see a lot of details inside. This is a plan completely from scratch that I drew up myself. Yes, I guess you can say I feeling bold and frisky

You're welcome, Patrick. I would suggest personally having a clear Polystyrene under each deck to hold it up completely level, and have pillars of some kind supporting the section furthest out from the hull.
I am actually considering doing something similar to what you are planning to do for this model for a future project of mine, but mine would be a much larger scale and plan to not have any of the decking in place on this model but would have the planked superstructure and hull to see how she would look like, but allow for interior looks as well.
Keep up your great work, you are doing a splendid job sir.

Many, many thanks, guys !

In the next few days I still get some dishes . Then the door can get ist the handle and the hinges.
Under the LED Light in my dockyard the colours looks absolute terrible, I think.

Popeye never ceases to amaze. We should see quite a number of additions to our 'Completed Ship Gallery' next year

Hi all
A very quick update. I'm still working on the internal bulkheads and getting the layout of the accommodation sorted out. She looks very rough, but, there's still lots of work to go!
Cheers and all the best!

I am ready to go on a ride in her already. Looks great, Patrick! I love the 3D perspective pics you took of your model.

Hi everyone
Thanks for all of your comments and likes! Greatly appreciated.
A very quick update. I've been spending some time doing lots of work to get the internal layout correctly laid out. Tedious work and, not much to show for it.
Nonetheless, I thought I'd loosely attach the lines drawing of the superstructure against the hull as a means of keeping me motivated.
Anyhow, here are the photos.
Cheers

bdgiantman2 reacted to kruginmi in HMS Druid by kruginmi - 1:48 - cross-section - Hahn
Actually pulled the hull out of mouthballs for the next step, main section of the mast step. A thicker piece of wood with several distinct angles and cuts. I first templated it out with an index card before cutting. Truth be told, it took three attempts to get everything right. I didn't waste too much wood since I had only cut the mating edge, so resetting was simply cutting a new mating edge slightly above the failed attempt.
The square cut was achieved as shown above for the mast top shroud cut outs. At the end it was very satisfying to almost click this piece into place - no glue necessary at least for now. I also cut the tenon into the mast bottom and likewise a nice tight fit, allowing it to stand without other assistance.
This weekend I will add the positional wedges and the fixed bar. This is different from what I used on the the full Druid but I consider it much more realistic. I need to figure out the well and if I am going to keep anything open to view. It would be a shame to keep all of this hidden.

Hello Laurence, and welcome to my blog. Thank you for the kind words and the cool picture. I am using the Mamoli plans as I am sure you have seen in my posted pics and notes, but their plans have several major errors, which is one reason I am building mine from scratch. Good luck to you on your build and I will have to make a visit to your boat yard to see your progress.

So last night I glued one of the forward frames, and am hoping to get to glue on another frame to the stern. Royal Yacht Mary is starting to slowly come together. Will be posting more pictures soon.

bdgiantman2 got a reaction from Archi in Yacht Mary by bdgiantman2 - Building first POF
So as promised I am posting some pictures for you all to see of my progress. Using the examples of Bernard Frolich, I attempted to make the same posts he shows in his book The Art of Ship Modeling, and they were literally a royal pain to screw down onto the building board. Also enclosed is a close up of the dead-board under construction, and the stern plates with the first of the sections for the false cannon ports.
