Remcohe got a reaction from Elmer Cornish in HMS Kingfisher 1770 by Remcohe - 1/48 - English 14-Gun Sloop - POF March 15, 2015

Thanks all for helping me to sort this out.

Jan, 0,5 mm copper rod scored with a sharp blade made the screw head.

Sorry Grant, no way I can make working screws on this scale

So that said, the gudgeons are made, again from brass strip and bar silver soldered together and formed to follow the hull curvature. I'll probably use some castello shims to compensate for the missing hull planking. Some adjustments are still needed before I can bolt the gudgeons permanently to the hull. Somehow gudgeon #5 ended up under the transom planking

As I get ready to start the rudder on my Swan class in a few weeks, all I can say is that your rudder assembly is inspiring.

The upper gudgeon straps do go through the transom and wrap around the post. Usually you can see a little of them on the side of the stern post. Ah, well, no-one is perfect! However, you are pretty close. A happy and healthy New Year to you.

This was the sequence for the top end shaping.

the first shots showing the rotational shaping in the lathe using the chuck as a vice while moving the cutter back and forth.

Next using a rat tail file to finish off the shape

after filing but before final clean up.

ready to assemble

Jan, the bottom of the rudder should be higher than the top of the false keel. Otherwise the false keel (if it comes of when hitting ground) would rip off the rudder in the process. The issue occurred when I marked the hight of the pintles using the pre cut slots on the sternpost. I should have noticed it then

I finished prepping the other rod this evening Also forgot to post the pic of how the big end was split. I used the slitting saw in the lathe.

I also turned up a pin out of steel to slip the wrist pin hole onto so that i could use the lathe as a shaper.
I used a round nosed tool bit sideways and moved the carriage back and forth as the top end was rotated incrementally by hand to shape the top round.
The first one is fixed to the piston I forgot to take pics of the shaping I will set that up for the second one tomorrow.

Remcohe reacted to giampieroricci in L'Amarante 1749 by giampieroricci - FINISHED - 1:30 - French Corvette December 31, 2014

before continuing with the construction of the interior I thought it would be better to complete the planking of the hull of the starboard side: the side of the left will leave in carpentry.
I drew with a pencil the locations of the strakes

I started the laying of the first strips

About the NRG

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.
