Gerhardvienna got a reaction from ggrieco in Licorne 1755 by mtaylor - 3/16" scale - French Frigate - from Hahn plans - Version 2.0 - TERMINATED
Hi Mark
The galleries are the most difficult parts on such a ship. Good luck for this, the beginning looks good at the moment!

Continuation.
We are preparing to put the foredeck. Among the various figures there is a difference in sheet length.It amounts to about 16 mm.
The beginning of the relation is available at this address:

Mark,
It must be so
confusing ... A French ship, caught by the English ... rebuild (partly) and only the French plans to consult, besides the references from another modeller, whom is an expert, but didn't live at the time of the changes either ... how I do not envy you ... but how courageous, and creative you are ...
Cheers

Hi Clarence
Lovley build, I like that. The pilots hous with its interior is another important part, and the piles make the model live!

Gerhardvienna got a reaction from Elijah in Phantom by Elijah - FINISHED - Model Shipways - 1:96 - New York Pilot Boat
Hi Elijah
You must create an account at the german forum, to see the photos, without there is no way to see them. There are a lot of good infos, not only for your built, but also about common things as rope making, rigging, and really great examples of models. As is HERE!!!!
Regards

Hi Elijah, Thank You!!
And many thanks to all the others for their likes...............
Today I continued with the first of the skylights, one of the two window frames is cut out from 1,5 mm thin plywood, and the window grille is soldered from 0,5 mm coppered iron wire.
The frame in different stages
The grille
Mounted for a first test
Tomorrow I will build the next window with its grille too, and the hinges. The metal parts will be painted black, not clear, what colour the wodden parts will get. Maybe I follow Gene Bodnar http://www.modelshipbuilder.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?5406.postwith the coluors, his model of the Cairo is a real good one!

NERVES???????
This is called steel wire
It`s just my way to build models, try, if it does not fit to my requirement, try again! And this so many times till it fits. As I built my german Schnellboot TIGER, I made the hull twice, the first one was not good enough. The starboard side was about 1mm too narrow ..............

Hi again, and thank you all for watching, nice likes, and comments!
Hello Joe
Tutorial will follow, when this set of davits is finished, so I can copy everything into a new report. But it is still some way to go.............
Today I finished the soldering form, so the next things to do will be the fabrication of the roller sheets. Every davit will carry 3 rollers of 3mm diameter, with 1,1mm width. More about that will follow soon.
Grooves for the spacer cut into the outer form parts
Spacer for rollers in place, no slashes cut at this time.
That pin (with the white head) is important, it locates the place for the rollers axle!
Slashes cut to the spacer. This slashes are necessary to place the roller distance sheets, distance between the sheets will be 1,2mm, the whole head of the davit is only 4,8mmwide. The inner sheets are 0,1mm, the outer ones 0,5mm thick.
It took me 3 attempts to make the spacer, the smallest mistake will ruin the whole thing.
Regards
Gerhard

Hi Glenn
Nice to have you here! So, sit down a little longer, and take another glass..............
Thank you all too for your nice likes!
The last days were filled up with even more work for my home improvement, but I found some hours too for the SMS DANZIG. The four davits are finally cut, and the soldering form is almost done.
Davits cut, two of them have still their paper sheets glued on. This will be removed after grinding and filing to final shape
The soldering form, stages to make it.
1), draw the inner contour of the part you will have to solder. This inner form must be as thick as the part that will be set into the form, 1mm in this case.
2), make the spacer for the parts to be soldered in
3), cut the inner part of the soldering form, and the place for the spacer
Outer parts of the soldering form follow the outer contour of the davit
The second outer part of the form will be made today, even the cuttings to the spacer. Some holes will be drilled, they are important to fix the form as well as to place the thin metal sheets that will hold the rollers later.
Will be continued.....................
Regards
Gerhard

Hi Joe
Thank you
& thank all for your likes! I hope not to disappoint you with what comes next...............
The next parts to make are the davits for the longboats, not easy to do. The plan comes again from the Atlas du Genie Maritime, as most of the parts I built for this model.
The plans from the Atlas
The copied forms, glued to 1 mm brass sheet. Two more glued to the brass for spare parts
First raw cut with the jewellers saw
The davit, cut and filed to shape. It took me about 2 hours to come to this piont, there is much more to do until they are ready.
Will be continued.......

Back again with the next part of the pump.
The full lever unit with levers, rods and pistons. The thread at the right side is for moving the pump.
The nearly completed pump
The pump with stands, everything can move free. It will be no problem, to move the levers with a small geared motor. Two figures will be added, with their hands at the levers, even this figures must be converted from "solid" to "moving" ones.
Regards, thanky ou all for your so many likes, and for watching in!

A little progress was made at the pump, the hardest part is still to come. I want to have the ability to have a "working" pump, driven by a small motor, so I cannot solder all parts.
Pistons with basic rods
"A-Beam" before soldering. It is enough to hold the parts with pins, no extra form needed.
Both Beams soldered, they wil carry the pump lever, and one side wall also fixed.
Thank you all for watching,
Regards

Hello once more
Thank you all for the (so many) likes!
The first steps to the decks pump are made, the center of the handles, the pistons, and the cylinders with their case are cut from different brass material.

Cylinders soldered to the basic case, smaller parts in the foreground

After the davits are mostly done, I was searching for new things to do, before I can start with the ships hull. Remember, I cannot build large things at the time, until my home renova<tion is completed
So I decided, to build as a next part the pump, which had been on deck, as I have read the diary from Eduard Arendt correct. See the last part of this page, sorry, it`s only in german language.
I choose the pump in the red marked sector, the drawing is (as mostly) taken from the Atlas du Genie Maritime!
I`ll be back..............
with more abut that soon!
Regards
Gerhard

Hello and first of all, many thanks again for your likes, and watching in
The last days were filled up with a lot of work for my home renovation, but I also found time to complete the new davits. I had to solder the last levers in the form, then some smaller parts were mounted, the levers mounted to sets, and some eyelets soldered to both sides of the davits.
Small parts to be soldered to the levers, use baking paper to solder. This will keep the rollers running.
Mounted rollers and eyelets
4 Sets (two pairs) of davits
Eyelest for both ends of davits, here will blocks be hang in.
Use baking paper here, for the same reason as above.
Completed end of one lever, with all small parts set into place
Best regards
Gerhard

Hi again, and thank you all for your likes !!
Today was not so much time for the ship, so I made only the first of the straight levers, and the soldering form of course. The method is the same as before, and I could manage to set the first set of levers together for a first fitting test. Everything looks fine, when all levers are done I can make some changes at the soldering forms to complete the whole sets.
Best regards
Gerhard
