Remcohe got a reaction from Jorge Diaz O in HMS Kingfisher 1770 by Remcohe - 1/48 - English 14-Gun Sloop - POF
Thank you all for your kind words and likes.
Work is progressing and more knees, hanging knees, carlings and ledges are added.
I also forgot to install a pillar in front of the fore mast , but that was taken care of.
The last opportunity to take a look at the sail room before its permanently installed in the hull
Some of the knees with mortices cut
The state of the upper deck to date
The next weeks will be more of the same... with the addition of installing hammock battens as I work my way across the deck

Remcohe reacted to Chuck in HM Cutter Cheerful 1806 by Chuck - FINISHED - 1:48 scale - kit prototype
Thank you guys.
Just a real quick update. Not to much except I did drill the hawse holes and the hole for the bowsprit. As simple as this procedure may sound it is actually rather tricky. I had to be really careful to drill these parallel to the keel and straight back. There is always a tendency to just drill through straight in. But instead, the bit must be held so it enters the bulwarks parallel to the keel. I started with a small hole so if the angle was wrong it could be corrected. Then I switched to needle files and then an even bigger round file to finish it off.
The angle is super important because the hole for the bowsprit must be drilled the same way. Straigh back and parallel to the centerline. If the hawse holes were drilled at an "off" angle then there wouldnt be room to properly create the hole for the bowsprit. I used a graphite pencil to darken the hawse holes but I may go back and use a dull flat dark gray instead, No rush to decide.
Now I can move on and start creating the waterway in preparation for the deck planking.

Remcohe got a reaction from cookster in HMS Kingfisher 1770 by Remcohe - 1/48 - English 14-Gun Sloop - POF
Thanks for the dimensions. I don't use a scale ruler but a conversion table to quickly get from feet/inch to mm
Work continued on the bowsprit step. To accurately determine the step (square hole) in the chock (the vertical plank between the bitts) I had to make the bowsprit itself too. I find it very satisfying to make a mast just with hand tools, it takes time but the result is very accurate.
While cutting the step the rabbet between the two planks very nicely
The bowsprit was cut from square to octagonal to round using a hand plane, well honed chisels and sandpaper.
The base going from round to square
And the tip
The step is also rebated into the upright bitts

Remcohe got a reaction from Farbror Fartyg in HMS Kingfisher 1770 by Remcohe - 1/48 - English 14-Gun Sloop - POF
Thanks all for your kind comments.
Next up is the bowsprit step. As I needed two of the forecastle deck beams to determine the size of this part. Not looking forward to this job I made an (warning off topic) 1/35 BMW R75 with side car, a nice little plastic kit from Lionroar. After that I found new energy to return to the KF and I went ahead and cut all forecastle and quarterdeck deck beams so they are ready for future use. Some parts still need to be made but I can not find the with of the crosspiece. Any ideas? I guess it's shorter than the main topsail sheet bitt crosspiece...

Finally a long overdue update. My KF got little attention lately as work and other (fun) projects got in the way.
I cut all the mortices for the carlings in the upper deck beams and started to make the first of the knee's and hanging knees. These are not one of my favourite parts to make and unfortunately every beam has a hanging knee. This is due to the heavy load on the deck with all the canons. I'll stick to my mantra and go step by step or part by part in this case
