Hi Hjx.

Thank you.

Have treenailed the Bow and Stern decks. Sorry no photos as rain most of day and poor light.

Cardboard planks in place and now planking the hull. Will be using 5 X 1.5mm walnut for the planking.

Will NOT be painting this as with most of my models. But will try to use various types of timber to show off it's natural beauty of the ship.

Most of the decks and hull will have a couple of coats of Danish oil.

 

That's it for now.

Regards Antony.

Hi  Nils.

Thank you for your input.

Some more photos of the basic build.

All the bulkheads have now been faired to the required angle.

Next come the cutting of the rebate in the keel.

Putting a plank next to the keel and marking with a pencil.

Parts dissembled and rebate cut into keel. Rebate cut with a knife and filed to shape and size.

Planking done on the deck. Will put the treenails in later on  after planking the hull.

The cabins were planked after using the 3mm walls. 

Portholes and door were added 

 

The stern and bow decks were planked on to the laser cut shapes.

Edging being added to the rear decks.

Hand rails added (Note that the rear deck edging and the hand rails were all bored  at the same time with the Proxxon mill)

Hand rails not yet fixed

Stern and bow now planked. Garboard plank is being fitted.

Bow planked and Garboard plank part 1 is in place and glued.

Part 2 of the garboard plank will be in place this afternoon.

 

That's about it for now.

More updates as the build continuous.

 

Regards Antony.

Hi.

Welcome to the Chinese Pirate Junk build.

This is based on the Amati model and lines were taken from there plans.(with lots of modifications.)

The plans were modified with Adobe Illustrator CS2 which is my chosen software.

Extra bulkheads were added and some bulkheads were changed to match the lines that I wanted.

Junk Antony.pdf  My drawings converted into PDF.

The 6mm and 3mm plywood used to the decks and bulkheads were cut by Laser cutting service http://www.pbmodelmaking.co.uk/laser-cutting-service/4588356832

The cost off the Laser cutting plywood and postage UK. was  £32.00 + £7.50 postage

Always wanted to make a Junk so here it is. It will be a build and modify as I go build as the drawings will need to be redone with each change of part size.

6mm plywood parts shown below. 3mm parts were of the same quality.

   

 

The laser cutting was excellent and can recommend the supplier.

Fitting the bulkheads to the keel needed just a little sanding for a tight fit.

Parts assembled but Not glued yet as there are a lot of adjustments to be made.

The dowel is not necessary but I like to include in to the design to hold the boat straight.

The deck was made oversize for the laser cutting so it could be trimmed then the drawing updated.

 

Will post more later on this a afternoon.

Duty calls. 

Regards Antony.

Hi and welcome to MSW.

That's One big model. Looks like you will be expanding your work bench.

That's one nice list of COMPLEATED models. You should have no problems with this one.

What's that a extra bulkhead in the last photo ?.

Best of luck on your new ventures with the Amerigo.

 

Regards Antony.

 

Hi Rusty.

Will follow along with this one Rusty if you don't mind. 

Got my front row seat and the pop corn.

Hi Nils.

Wow fantastic workmanship on the Eagle of Algier.

That's a lot of deck furniture you have on that deck. Looks like it's ready to blast anything with all those cannons.

 

Regards Antony.

Hi.

I made this kit some time ago.

It's a nice build.

Have fun.

Regards Antony.

Hello Eric.

This is going to be a complete change for you building a plank on bulkhead model.

The good thing about this kit is that there is a lot of  excellent builds here on MSW.

Will follow along from the beginning with this build. 

 

Regards Antony.

Hi Mike.

Nice work on the deck planking. I like the neatness of the scuppers. 

Yea it's Worth checking everything before doing it.

Keep up the good work. 

 

Regards Antony.

Hi Tim.

Yea nice bending jig.

And your base board is the right width allowing you to place the model on her side to do the planking. (Never thought about doing this before)

 And a very good start on the planking. Because you graphite'ed the joints does this mean you are not painting the hull?.

Now you have the first 4 planks in place it's time to think about getting the planks to lay with out the lateral curve.

Some nice tutorials on MSW. Worth a look. The idea is to lay the planks without too much lateral bending.

All the best with your build Tim.

Hi Tim.

Welcome to MSW.

First tip is to read through other build logs here on MSW. There are plenty of them and all the best tips and methods have been used.

I like your building frame.. Nice and sturdy. 

 

Regards Antony.

Hi Ronkami.

Nice progress on the Niagara.

Easy mistake to make even when you spend time reading other build logs and double checking..That the way we all learn.

 

Regards Antony.

Hi Nils.

Just catching up on your build.. wow thats amazing work with still more detail. I like the finished deck pumps and drains.

The swivel guns are also looking good.. 

 

Regards Antony.

Seaslug launcher

Wow that's kinda delicate just to look at but very nice.

 

Make a detailed drawing of the framework just in case someone gets clumsy. Then you can easy make a new framework out of brass tube.

 

Regards Antony.

 

Hi.

This sold for £165. Someone got a good deal.

Antony.

Hi Hennie.

That is one nice look ship.

I like the way you planking is still visible under the black paint.. just like the real thing.

That's a huge lantern. 

 

Keep up the good work.

Regards Antony.

USS Constitution by  Model Shipways  scale 1/76
Hi.

Ebay UK has a Constitution by model shipways with 4 days to go.

No its not me or any body I know selling it but its a bargain Current bid is £160 with a £230 Buy it now.

That's a real good price.

No I have enough to complete before committing myself to another one.

Cornwall Model Boats are selling this kit for £494.95. That's a good savings for someone wanting this kit.

 

Regards Antony.

Hi Ronkamin.

Welcome to MSW. 

It's a nice model to build and there are some very good build logs on MSW. Worth reading and noting parts that need curfull attention. 

You are off to a good start.. not to late to grab a front seat on this build.

 

Regards Antony.

Hi Hugh.

Now that is what I call dry fitting. 

Cats have gotta have fun...even at the owners expense.

Watch out for the sheer (curvature) as you assemble the decks. It sure looks like it's ment to be there.

Looking good so far.

 

Regards Antony.

 

Hello Rony.

Yea I got your name correct this time 😁

Your modellng skills are very good and your work is very clean and tidy.

Resulting in a model to be proud off.

 

Regards Antony.

 

Hi Zuko.

Welcome to MSW.

Nice choice of kit. 

Read up on planking techiques. Take your time with the planking and it will make a nice display model.

Those masts are enormous in height.

 

Regards Antony.

Hi Dave.

Excellent choice of wood throughout the build.

Model ship's don't need painting if you choose your timbers types like you have done.

Your work is very neat and clean..not a fuzzy edge to be seen anywhere.

 

Regards Antony.
