    Hello Shipmates. Started the planking to the sides of the main deck. Completed deck without furniture on. The Stain used to soak the treenails prior to installing them. Thanks for looking in. Regards Antony.

    Hi Shipmates. Thank you for the likes and comments. Drilling holes for the rest of the treenails today. Wow that's some 800 per deck The next deck is being milled and sorted into suitable timbers. Apart from the spelling in my last post... The treenails are soaked in Colron wood dye (Jacobean dark oak) Will add photo when I get back on the PC. And the planking spelling should read " stood on edge" Thanks for looking in. Regards Antony.

    Hi Shipmates. A few more photos on my progress up to date. Tree nails are cocktail sticks sacked on dark stain then dryed and a .6 mm hole drilled into the Tulipwood. treenail then glued into place and when dry cut with side cutter and sandpapered. Chalking done with Black card. All the planks steed on edge and card glued to facing edge with PVA glue. Before sanding down and after. Tree nailing done on far side only this side to complete now. This middle Deck is now almost complete and now need to add the furniture. I will add the scuppers holes and the holes for the Gunport lids ropes as I do deck by deck. Thanks for looking in. Regards Antony.

    Hi. Use annealed copper tube of the correct size. Fill with casting sand(very fine sand). And block the ends. Bend around a bar of the required diameter. Can use heat if required. Bend as many turns as required. Remove the sand. Cut to make rings. Then grind outer part away. Regards Antony. Edit -: Turn it on a lathe.

    Hi. Another reference from The construction and fitting of the sailing man of war 1650-1850 "The bottom planking, This was generally wrought oak, to a width of between 9in and 12in." Regards Antony.
  13. AntonyUK
    Hello Shihawk. On the full size ship according to The Anatony of The Ship. Page 50 "Planking was put on in as long lengths as possible-- or rather, obtainable. The Width was usually 12 in. And the thickness of the bottom plank in first -rate ships was 5 or 6 in." I will leave the calculations to u. Regards Antony

Have a read here on starting a build log. http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/53-before-you-post-your-build-log-please-read-this-starting-and-naming-your-build-log/ That's all the information you need to start your build log. As far as tools .. As others have said.. Keep it basic.. Quality is important. Knife. Razor saw . Mitre block to keep your cuts square. Cutting mat.(Large) Sand paper. Small files. A good light. Tweezers. Best of luck. Regards Antony.

    Hi Mij. Wow looking real good. The planking really shows off the beautiful shape and contours. Have already put this build on a to do list but I will only work on one ship at a time. Is there any carving to de done on the ship ? Regards Antony.

    Hi Daryl. Excellent work. Love the finish. Regards Antony.

    Hi Doris. Truly excellent work on everything. Nothing is less than 100% You are outstanding in your class of modeling. Is it possible to cast the guns using the cast metal one as a master ? Using blended paper and clay with PVA glue. Have seen this done a long time ago but cannot find where on the net. Regards Antony.

    Hi Rusty. Very nice work on the mortar. Looks spot on Not the easy to duplicate something on a lathe.. Start stop,,check,,start stop,, check. Measuring stick to hand. If using same tool you can always stops for each end of cut. Between the headstock and the saddle. Can do a drawing if wanted I have a digital readout on my slides so was not to hard. Carriages look excellent .. I have made my carriages with two types of timber. Regards Antony.
