Hi Grant. Love the rails. Never used ammonia before. Just hot water. Will give it ago next time I need to bend my timber into a tight curve. I love this Triton cross section forum as there are so many people with brillent ideas and so friendly. Regards Antony. -
Hello Paddy. Looking very nice. The Garboard on the full size ship would also have been a large chunk to fit. With the two angles fitting into the keel. Also the angle and the Garboard twisting as it follows the frames. It's also one of the special planks .. Hence having a name. Must have been a nightmare with the tools they had then. Regards Antony.

Hello Marius. You have made a splendid job of this cross section. With out major tooling to do fine work can be very time consuming and test your skills to the limits. Well done. You Have produced a first class model Regards Antony.

Hi. It seams that you can get DeAgostinl's in the USA. http://www.model-space.com/us/ships/hms-victory/ BUT no cross section Pester them for the cross section. I am building one at this time. Nice kit There are no plans with the build But the mags show you everything you need. There is a online build http://forum.model-space.co.uk/default.aspx?g=topics&f=93 Regards Antony. -
Hello Grant? I got agree with Paddy.. Your brackets are spot on. Nice work. Regards Antony.

Hi Paddy. Still looking good. Every time you trash something you make... Is learning another way on how NOT to make it. Until success. And then you know how to make it. It's called learning by doing I know I spent a lot of my life perfecting things. The pictures are looking great. You know how to take a good photo Regards Antony.

Hi Paddy. Nice work in the Keelson. The copper bolts look OK to me. I can remember reading an article on this.. The holes were drilled and the bolts forced through(not hammered) then cut off above the Keelson and bellow the Keel. Then they were peaned over with a concave headed hammer. Basic riveting. Info came from page 10 in Anatony of the ship " Victory" So mabe they would be proud. On an English ship... But copper would expand in the hole with hammering and the amount of area above the Keelson would be very little. That's the way I read it. Regards Antony. Edited. Found more info.. On page 71 in Anatomy of Nelsons ships there is a photo and discription of the bolts Will post it when I get to PC.

Hi Paddy. Thanks for all the info on the scrapers..usefull Regards Antony.
-
Hello Paddy. Nice work in the frames. A question :- are your scrapers flexible ? And how do you sharpen then.. Only asking as this is a tool that a elderly gentleman showed me some years ago. And he was a master model ship builder. Never used one for the purpose of wood removal only old paint removal. Regards Antony.
-
Hello Alexandru. Nice choice of model to scratch build Have got my chair and cushion ready for this build. Regards Antony.
-
Hi Paddy. It's been a while since I have seen someone using a scrapper on wood. It looks great As Pete said take it slowly and review your work often. Regards Antony.
-
Hello Bob. Looking good. I like the method of gratings and bitts and the rest of the ship looks splendid. Regards Antony.
-
Hi Pete. Wow looking real good You have been reading up on cutting on a saw. Yes that's a good method. And a safe way. Jiging is always the best way if cutting more then a few pieces of the same size. Regards Antony.
-
Hello Rusty. Very nice work on the ladders mate. I also like the display cabinet. A simple design and easy to make 100% from me on that one. Your work has been spot on throughout the build. Well done. Regards Antony.
-
Hi Pete. Another way to put camber into your beams is to cut then horizontal across but keep them in pairs Then glue them together with the required camber making sure they are in the same pairs. If kept in pairs no one can tell that they have been cut. This can also help if cutting rebates as you only need to cut the top one. I have used this method a few times. Regards Antony.

Hello Pete. Hello Pete. In your post above you put -:- I must disagree with you I think it looks just fine. All I can say is that your level of perfection is much higher than mine.( meaning that in a nice way of course). Keep going with it as you see best. Exposing the construction of a ship is better than a completed hull. And pulls much more interest in the model. Keep up the good work. Antony

Hello Max. What a lucky person you are I agree with Crackers. Buy the admiral a small gift first. My advice would be. Put it in your pocket and wait untill you NEED something. Then just go out and buy it. Regards Antony.
