Hi Jim. HAPPY BIRTHDAY. And again thank you for everything. My Brynes saw is producing excellent quality timber and I hope you have a Quality birthday. Regards Antony. -
Hi shipmates. Nigel.... You are spot on with you're analyses of the idea. I put the test piece in the lathe tonight and turned and polished it the put some Danish oil on to show the joins. The joiners are ALL curved the same way. So made another set up slightley bigger with mat black paint between the wedges hopefully to look as if they have been sealed. And I will NOT spiral them Update tomorow. Regards Antony.

Hi. Photos of Method. Barrel shape not yet done. Regards Antony.

Hello Shipmates. That's basically the methods I was looking at The only diffarance being is I cut my wedges to form a compleate wedge and I spiral'ed my wedges onto a mandrel. Thanks for the replys. Regards Antony.

Hi. I have done a search on the forum looking for methods of making wooden barrels/ kegs. The only result pointed me to :- http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/300-le-bonhomme-richard-by-jeronimo/page-7 Post 105 I do have a lathe and a bench saw and I would like to make my own. My question is :- is there a method that we use ?. As I need something like 8 barrels I would like to jig it up and do it properly I am able to cut my timber @24 degrees and to spiral join them to give me 18 segments to make each in barrel. Will post a photo tomorow when they are dryed. Regards Antony.

Hi Jeff. I would go with the timber idea. BTW love the build looks very clean and tidy. Regards Antony.

Wow. That is digging into the archives with so much history coming to the surface. You can add another skill to you portfolio of skills. Master historical researcher. Your drawing look real nice. And it's nice to see that the timber is being prepped for the model Keep it coming ..the resurch is fascinating to read. Regards Antony.

Hello Shipmates. Another small update. The pumphouse with the shot lockers in place BUT not glued because I will trim the height after fitting the Orlop deck into place. Front view. Other side still the front. View from the rear. Shot lockers lids raised. The next two photos are prepping the Orlop deck construction. The mill I used is a Proxxon . These are only test joints on some scrap timber. That’s about it for now. Thanks for looking in. Regards Antony.

Hi. Another link for you. http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/2806-flickering-lights/ Can use very small surface mount LED's for that scale. Remember to keep the lighting quite dim as it would have been on the real ship. Regards Antony.

Hello Jeff. Looking very nice. As the others have said Very nice planking. A interesting cross section. Regards Antony.

Hello Shipmates. Thank you all for your very nice comments. It is a very nice encouragement to continue and improve my skills. I really am enjoying this build as there is so much to do. The new bits so far I have learnt are :- Drawing up plans and resurching details. learning to use my saw. (Never cut wood before with a power saw.) The planning of a method of construction. So important.( planning ahead) What timbers are available to me. And where I can use them. This list just shows what a newbie I am to Scratch building model ships LOL Just started cutting timber for the Orlop deck so will post a few pictures tonight of my progress. And will post a photo of the completed hold. Regards Antony.

Hi Nick. I wish I lived neer Portsmouth. Then I would just pop in to the Victory for information that books don't show or describe. So glad you are enjoying it. So an I. It's my first scratch build and it's really interesting and satisfying to do something from from making the drawings to building. Regards Antony.

Hi. Great to have you aboard. Is it possible for you to edit your build title to include your name and scale you will be working to.( have a look at the way other builders have done it) A name would be very nice Please. We like to be able to address fellow builders by name if possible You will find some brilliant builds here and most of us are first time scratch builders. Your workmanship looks really good You can find the files in the next Tab down marked Triton Download Section. This was not visible to you before being granted access. Now you have the job of downloading the files and printing them. All the best. Antony.

Hello shipmates. Thanks Floyd and Michael for your nice comments Have been a lot longer fitting the ryders than planed. I wanted a good fit and I have kept them A little rough finish as they would not have spent in the hold making things look nice. Started to fit the ryders last night so will post more photos tonight. Regards Antony.
-
Hi. Nice build. It's a nice kit and you can do so much with it should you wish. Keep the pictures comming Regards Antony.

Hello Shipmates. A Update.. Spent a bit of time doing the treenails in the hold area over the weekend. The Dark treenails were soaked in stain for 1 hour then air dried they are tooth picks and I used a 0.8mm drill. The light ones are normal tooth picks with a 0.6mm drill. Close up view. Will start to fix the ryders later on tonight. Will use the 1.1mm copper wire and also glue to hold them in place. More pictures to follow as I proceed. Regards Antony.

Hello shipmates. Thank you all for looking in at my build Timber used so far is Pair. Beech, Lime, Bamboo. Oak, Ash and Merranti. And the wood stain so far is Rustins Light Oak. Will start to install the Ryders and the pump house and the shot lockers in the next few days. Thanks for looking in. Regards Antony.

Hi Shipmates. Thanks for looking in MIJ and Bob A little update. The Ryders and the racks are finished. Copper pinned the Ryders tonight and will photograph them tomorrow. Photo of ryders before copper pinning. And Racks. Ryder fitted but not fixed yet. Ryder center bridges will be fitted and shapped on the Ryders being Fixed in place. Not possable to do so until they have been assembled and fixed. More tomorrow. Regards Antony.
-
Hello Floyd. Not until next week. Got a lot of work to do before fixing anything in the hold. Ryders are now finished and the storage area is under construction. Thanks for looking in Regards Antony.
-
Hello Shipmates. Done quite a lot of work but as yet not photographed anything. I did change the hinges on the shot lockers. As you can see they are very small and they come with the pins. A single Hatch. All the Hatches. And made up the main mast. Will post more tomorrow evening. Regards Antony.
-
Hello Jeff. Looking very nice. Lots of good construction tips and ideas. Regards Antony.
-
Hi Jeff. Nice to have you aboard. Yes the doors and the latch is functional. I intend to make anything that I can work. I have been challenged to get the chain pumps working. Working on the idea at the moment. Will also have flickering lights in the Hold and the Orlop deck. Because this is such a large scale I can include things that would not be possible at the smaller scales. Making the ryders at the moment. Not easy Regards Antony.
