Brand new to wood ship modeling and could use some advice.
AntonyUK replied to Enderwiggin's topic in Wood ship model kits
Hi and welcome to MSW. I have just got back into model ship building and the choices are huge. I opted for building the Triton cross section. This option gives me the choice of timber and the amount of detail to put into the build. Also cost is low as MSW provide all the plans. There are several builds in progress at the moment and it might be of interest to you Best of luck Antony. -
Hi Michel. Have just finished reading through this build log.. WOW. I must say I felt like putting a "like" on every page you posted.. A fantastic build and the workmanship is astounding to say the least. And it's a very nice ship with some interesting lines. I have has the pleasure of sailing on one of thease some 16 years ago. Regards Antony.

Hi. Watch the height position of the gun ports. My plan put then a little low. When I made up the guns I had to remove 3mm from the tops of the gun ports to make the guns fit correctly. So make up one of each size cannons and check from the inside that it will run into the port. As far as the cutting... Chain drill holes Keeping the drill at the same level as the decks. Then with a Very Sharp knife remove the rest. As E&T did. TIP :- When drilling put bit into drill then put a soft plastic tube on the drill bit to stop you drilling to deep and hitting deck furniture. Acts as a depth stop. Regards Antony.

Hi. Just to Add. Apart from the details that Coral have got wrong.. the kit timber was OK and more than enough for the build. The only issue's that I have with the kit are The rigging blocks are very poor and I replaced 99% of them. And the Hammock stays are poor as the hole in them is at an angle. poor batch. Thease were replaced. Regards Antony.

The Saga continues.. Gun ports cut into sides. All decks in place. And Hull planked. I have mislaid some photos.. Will find them and add later. Regards Antony.

A link to his Build... and very nice it is Erebus and Terror build log This ship is going to be a preasent for my daughter. First pic is Adding the Riders. One fitted more work on the other yet. Making the upper riders and the pump and well First deck done Thats it for now..will post the rest tonight. Regards Antony

Hi Thomes. Your Victory is coming on nicely. Just watch out when you cut out the holes in the sides that you do not catch the decks with the drill or saw. I will try and post a build log tonight... Did not expect to to build so quick Regards Antony.
-
Hi. A photo if much easer than words to understand. This also has a hole for the Mast so I can check on alignment as I build. Note that I have bashed the kit a little. Regards Antony.

Hi. Looking good. Never tried the Gorilla glue. Might get some and do a few joins for testing. HMS Victory Cross Section by Erebus and Terror Corel, has a build log and it's completed. You are a quick builder Regards Antony. Edit and added :- When installing the decks..Watch that the frames don't get pushed out. I used a piece of plywood as a correct distance spacer and has a few elastic bands around the top of the frames to keep it in position.

Hi Snowman. You are making a brilliant job of this build.. Your choice of wood and colours is fantastic and does you and the model credit. Please keep the pictures comming as I have yet to do my Trition build. Regards Antony.

Hi all. I would love to start the build right now But the boss will not allow me to take over the conservatory. Thanks for the comments..The wood colour is important to me as I will not be using any paint on wood items. And the other reason is I need an thicknesser. Looking at the Axminster CT-356 at the moment. And a small bench saw. Make and model unknown as yet. Regards Antony.

Hi. Just an update .. Most of my Timber for the build has arrived and is looking good. From Left to Right Maple, Sapele, Ash, Lime, Mohogany, and Walnut. Not starting yet...Need to finish the Victory Cross section Build. Regards Antony
-
Hello Colin. Just finished reading your build log. Very impressive build.. Love the modifications you have made. My first magazine arrived yesterday so re reading to see if there is anything else I need . Please keep us informed on your build as its a leader as far as quality and workmanship is concerned. Many thanks Antony.

Hi. Nice kit to get your skills up to date.. I have done exactly the same thing as you. It's been a few years since I touched model ship building. Adding the finishing touches to thr hull at the moment. No I did not make a build log as I am not much with a computer. But I have taken loads of photos.. Are you going to build as per plan or are you going to bash it as its called on the forum's. I bashed mine as I was following another victory cross section build. I also brought some books to help with the Bashing. Good luck with the build. As far as thinks to look out fore.. Quality of the work was OK. Rigging blocks were replaced. With scale blocks and of much better quality. Some of the fittings were not to scale.. I will start a log and post a few pictures later on tonight. Regards Antony.

Hi. I removed any rings that were on the Barrels and replaced them with brass strips.( brass not cut in straight strips but curved ) Soldered the stripes together using the barrels for sizing, Painted then fitted to barrels. Brass strip was some very thin shim stock that I has lieing around. End result was very pleasing to the eye. Regards Antony.

Hi. This brings back memory's for me as I was one of the divers that helped to do the underwater research and recovery. I had three separate weeks of diving. Learnt a lot about surveying and underwater archeology. Have seen this program on Discovery Channel ( sky ). Happy viewing Antony -
Hi Paddy. Congrats of compleasion of you first frame. Looks real good. Treenailes are seldom seen on the real ships. Some carpenters used to put them cross grain to the timber being nailed so the could be seen. There are a few ships not far from my home and I had the pleasure of being stationed on one. Please keep the photos comming as its usefull to all that will follow including me after finishing up on my current build. Regards Antony.

Hi. As a of a month ago I used cascamite glue. Started my build and changed to a much bigger list. For any timber I use Aliphatic sandable glue and Everbuild 502 wood adhesive. I use CA glue on small pieces that require little bonding and speed glueing( not often used ). I use a two part 30 minute set for strong bonds. And I have a small contact adhesive for ?? Not used yet. But I like this stuff to do jobs where other glues will not work. I also use varnish ( of the right colour ) to glue gratings. Regards Antony.
