Chuck got a reaction from fmartins in Treenail detail option?
Allan
Its a weird thing but it is always shown on models of the Mary Rose. Here is a bassett- lowke model of the Mary Rose and you can see the same batten type strakes along the bottom of the hull. Its very weird.

I did the preliminary sanding of the interior side of the planking of the counter and transom. I have to say, it's definitely much easier when you only have to worry about how the exterior of the planks look!

Chuck got a reaction from aviaamator in Triton Notes
I thought I would post these two images of a cross section model from the science museum. I thought it might help or at least act as inspiration for those building teh cross section Triton. What I find very pleasing is the change in the plank thickness. Especially the outboard planking. I have no idea which ship this is as I didnt write that down when I saved it. It is one of hundreds of pictures I saved and now I am trying to organize. Based on what I see it may be a later vessel...but still worthy of inspiration.

Nope.....just wanted to have some inspiration close at hand. I try to surround myself with it and often commission other ship model builders or buy their work ..... at least when the admiral is also smitten with a particular work or subject.

I can take as many photos of her as you would like...just let me know when you are ready. Here is an in-progress photo....this depiction is much like the one shown on the NMM model and the original draft which shows the figurehead. Its is exactly like the detail shown on that original draft. Plans during the 1770's often had incredible detail with all of the carvings and even friezes shown in many instances. It is a very accurate depiction.

Just thought I would share these incredible pictures of the figurehead for the Swan Class Sloop "Atalanta" by David Antscherl. The figure is boxwood with a stem of swiss pear. The brackets and trailboard carving are also boxwood. Note the gold leafed apples. Just stunning carving by hand and almost hard to believe possible at this scale. Its so tiny. I love the facial expression.....Mona Lisa smirk... Enjoy!!!

I planked the transom. This was much more of a challenge than the photos indicate. Though the transom looks flat, it actually has a pretty good curve to it, so the edge bending is quite severe. I reduced the plank width by .010" on each plank, so the 4 planks are a uniform width going down the center of the transom. One of the gun port lower sills is a bit crooked. I figured this doesn't matter since the ports will be closed. I am more concerned with making sure both ports are the same size, and true and level. The transom and counter have both been given a first preliminary sanding.

Chuck reacted to GuntherMT in Cheerful 1806 by GuntherMT - Syren Ship Model Company - 1:48 scale - Revenue Cutter
On we go, with another small update and a bit of progress on the Cheerful.
First I completed the rabbet strip at the stern.
Next up I cleaned up the laser-cut boxwood parts that form the stem, and glued them together. Frank showed me these clamps that he used from Lee Valley so I ordered some for myself. They are really great little clamps and I believe they'll be seen a lot during my build logs!
Next up, I transferred the bearding line to the side of the former that didn't have the line laser-etched into it, and then using a chisel and some sand paper I did the beveling at the stern from the bearding line to the rabbet strip. Not sure it's perfect, but it's as good as I think I'll get it, and I believe it should work fine.
I really didn't accomplish anything else yet, but I did dry fit the keel parts to verify that things are tracking good for a nice fit.
From that photo, and indeed from looking at things in person, the appearance is that the keel is pretty flat. However, flipping the aft portion of the keel over so that it is upside-down reveals the truth!
Hopefully I will have time tomorrow to complete the keel and the tree-nailing that goes into it, and get it glued up to the former, after which I can start looking at the bulkheads.
Thanks for all the visits, likes, and comments everyone, and see you next time, whenever that is!

Chuck got a reaction from Archi in Mandatory for BUYERS - MUST READ!!!!!
Bruce ...dont forget to introduce yourself properly to the forum in the appropriate area. Let folks know who you are. There is nothing more suspect than folks who sign up and simply post stuff for sale and then leave. It happens a lot. Folks here are so much more comfortable with these online transactions if you waited a few weeks and in teh meantime post about your cutrrent projects and your introduction to the hobby.
Otherwise....it gets a bit scary.

Just thought I would share these incredible pictures of the figurehead for the Swan Class Sloop "Atalanta" by David Antscherl. The figure is boxwood with a stem of swiss pear. The brackets and trailboard carving are also boxwood. Note the gold leafed apples. Just stunning carving by hand and almost hard to believe possible at this scale. Its so tiny. I love the facial expression.....Mona Lisa smirk... Enjoy!!!
The glass dome is just 4" in diameter.

Absolutely gorgeous. Do you have any more photos of her you could share? They would come in very handy for if I decide to tackle Atalanta's figurehead. Or else I could simply commission David
