    Hi all druxey i'am trying to be mathodical so as not to waste wood as geting more to match might be a problem from across the water. Kevin I've been watching your build and found it a very informative and it's given me ideas to adapet to my way off working. Progress has been a bit slow but all the fore and aft cant frames have been cut out. Then I have moved on to the main frames. After getting most off them done I realised that I'd done them wrong in not allowing for the scarphs so have started them again.Well the good thing is it was only in paper and not wood. The wrong one is on the left. Yours Gary

    Hi All Just been comparing my drawings off the head stern and deadwood with the pdf's Ben sent me (Thanks again Ben ) and they match almost perfectly so must be doing some thing wright. So have made a start cutting out the paper patterns. There are so many its easy to see why these sort of models take so long. For a bit of a change I tried laying some off the parts out to get the best layout for glue on the timber. Yours Gary

    First things first I would like to wish everybody a happy new year. Things have been a bit slow over the holiday period in fact nothing has been done for to long. When I last posted the frame patterns had been printed and timber sorted to which thickness was needed for what part. Now came the first problem off how to get the shapes for the stem and deadwood. The maylar plan could not be damaged as I would need it for a long time. first attack was to try to scan them but there was to much distortion. So I came with this method first drawing a grid on paper and placing it under the plan then I had a ref to draw the shape on the computer which made changes easy. Then it was just a case off placing under the plan to check the shapes. Yours Gary

    Hi all Just had a pleasant afternoon looking through the drawings and printing one or two. Wanted to check that I've the size right checking against the main drawing it appears so. But to check are the fig on the side and the bottom actual sizes for scale. Wanted to make sure its right before printing them all out. Thanks in advance. Yours Gary

    Greg and Christian thanks for replying I've given it a lot of thought on how to display the model here are my first thoughts they will probably change. Fully framed with chocks and fastenings, whales on both sides and planked partly on one side don't know how much. Decks fully framed and part planked. Guns on one side only fully rigged. As to masts perhaps as if in reserve striped to lower masts and a little bit of rigging. Yours Gary

    Well its time to make fresh start. So a new beginning a new project can you all stand another swan class build. Have not decided which one as the title says would like to do one that is different any suggestions. So it begins with a white tube from Admiralty models. Its the basic plans that will start the journey. Beware this is the first time I have ever done anything like this. So I hope you all will keep me on the right course. I'll try and make it different than other swan build where other members are leading the way in quality. In the next I will take a look at my version of a slipway (posh for base board) Yours Gary
