Ainars Apalais reacted to Edwardkenway in Naval Cutter by Edwardkenway - 1:48 scale - from Caldercraft plans (ABANDONED)
A little bit more done, made hatch coamings and main hatch grating, the companion way
and skylight are well on the way.
I've also began to put the moulding along the bulwarks
the photo below is a test as my new phone camera has a macro setting.
Next time I'm going to have a crack at making either a windlass or a capstan, I'm leaning more towards a windlass.
Thanks for the likes.
Cheers 😄👍

Well folks, here I am actually installing the cant frames for the last time. With glue. For real. Sorry for the humor, but this has taken so long to get here and so many setbacks - to be actually doing this is a major milestone! This is version three of the cant's. One version for issues with my lofting, another version for over aggressive sanding, and now this V.3 which is the final version. I've also had to remake a frame or 2 here and there for what I'll call *mistakes* and leave it at that.
I'm getting there but still lots to go. Also framed my first complete gunport! The sheer looks nice and and the *fake* rabbet is now finally visible. There's still more fairing to do on the inside of what you see below. Using battens to fair is absolutely necessary IMO. All the bumps and dips show up that way. Anyway, pics. I'll post more when I have more frames glued in.
PS - forgive the workbench situation - it's messy but it's mine.😁
Cheers and thanks for following along!

Thanks to everyone for the kind comments and likes.
Before equipping the 1st gun deck, I fitted the deck beams and knees
of the 2nd gun deck and then dismantled them again.

The steps look really nice and the contrast between the woods looks great

So far, only the fixture body has been completed. Parts are still being designed. Mainly used for manual repair of ship model parts, can also be used for the operation of the hull pulley, pull line, can also be used as a rectangular locator, self-centering structure. Quickly adjust spacing and clamping force. Independently designed and built.
To be continued

To mark up positions for mounting holes i cover required area with masking tape. After a couple of attempts i draw pretty straight and equal positions to drill holes.
