Hi and thank you all for your reply's.
This model was built for the Plymouth Education and resource people.
They will use it as a display Hopefully for the Mayflower 400/401 as I think this years celebrations have been put back a year.
Its been a Fun build all the way through. And had a lot of help with obtaining plans and books relating to the build.
Its been a interesting concept build a cross section of this type. The wife thinks I should do a cross section at the same scale with all the timbers in place.. No mast.

Regards Antony.

Hi.
Will be a interesting build.
My young person wants to build this model this year so I will follow your build and learn from you.

Is the timber you received... You can sun bleach it if it's too dark. Just lay it in the sun and make sure it does not warp.
If it's to light then you can use a wood die.. Dilute it and test it. Let it dry. And compare.

Regards Antony.

Hi Again.
Thanks for stopping by. and the kind comments.
Had a good 2 days on the deck... Now finished.
Carlings and Ledges in place. Not glued at this stage..

Close up of the woodwork. Messy as not yet sanded or fixed.

Big jump to Completed Gundeck. just the trimming to do.

looking at the underside of the Gundeck.

Waterways in place

As it is right now.

Will trim the deck tonight and install the hatch surrounds.

Next is the Main deck. This has a step at the 3/4 of the way towards the stern. Also there are a lot of furniture bits on the main deck.
I think 2 weeks might see it through. But we will see.

Regards Antony.

Hi.
Sorry for the delay in posting... Lots of work done on the model and Starting to decorate the lounge.
Internal planking completed now and model released from jig for first time.

Gunports need trimming down and I shall leave like this until lower deck is in place. Then reinforce the deck beams by adding filler between the beams and the ribs.
View of the completed planking. Lines drawn on for treenails.

Square holes are for deck beams.

Deck beams now in place but not glued yet.

Notches for carlings are machined in. Will be using 4mm sq dark walnut for these.

Jig to hold deck beams at correct height and distance made and fitted to support.

Carlings and ledgers all cut but not glued yet.

Deck construction well under way. Deck is Alaskan cedar. First time I have used this wood. Very impressed with the quality and grain.

Last planks on this deck are fixed and will need treenailing and sanding.

First deck

I like this shot...

A bit of tidying up and I will be happy.

Will start treenailing tomorrow and post a update more often.

Regards Antony.

Hi Everyone.
A update on the Mayflower and A jig for cutting deck beams ETC.

Installing the Brest hooks.

Gunports are now lined.

And the planking is almost up to the main Deck.

Planking sanded with P80 to start with. Will finish with p120 then seal the inside.

The grey timber clamped onto the keel is the Marker for the Bilge Deck. The Marks are the approximant Deck beams positions.

I have made a Jig for cutting my deck beams which I will post a few photos and a sketch.
Pivot point arm This is fixed to underside of bandsaw table.

Support arm now in place with timber clamped in place.
Start of First Cut

First cut done and Trim discarded.

You can have a set of Holes in the pivot support arm .
or you can release the clamps and move the timber forward the amount plus the blade kerf. My preferred method.
Ready for second Cut.

The Cut beam ready for sanding.

The pivot point should be level or just forward of the Bandsaw blade.
Its a easy Jig to make and you can very the radius by making the pivot point further away or closer to the bandsaw blade.

Hi.
Time for the updates.

A few planks laid. Not much to see but the fairing of the interior of the hull is good.

Yes the small gap is intentional.

One of the reasons I have not been working on the Mayflower very much is the new Shed/Man cave... Well its finished.
Its a 8ft X 12ft Pent shed that has been Pressure treated then 4 coats of a good preserver. Insulation has 60mm Celotex then covered with 12mm red wood cladding.
Electrics is the only thing I have had done for me. LED lighting is very nice and bright. without costing a small fortune to run them.

Thanks for looking in.
Regards Antony.

HI.
Just a late update..
Got distracted by a bedroom that needed clearing and decorating.
Grandson now has his own bedroom that's Dinosaur themed.
Onto the Mayflower..
Have been working on the model for a few hours here and there and making some progress.

The Bow area is now the correct shape according to drawings.

All the frames (False) have been faired on the inside only and tested with strips 2 X 6 strip wood.

The Yellow card is cut to shape of the contour lines on the interior planking. I will mark out the planks as I lay them and transfer the cut lines to the planks.

View from the tops.

Timber has been rough cut to the camber of the decks (Saves me from bending a load of timber latter on in the build. And the 3 strips are pre bent with heat only. So far after 2 weeks they have moved back 1\5. Not as much as I expected then to move.

Will do the majority of the Visual cleaning much later after the outer hull has been planked.
Will be using Many types of timber throughout the build. as there will be No painting done on the model.

That's it for now. Please ask if there is anything that I have missed.

Regards Antony.
