rdsaplala got a reaction from daHeld73 in HMS Pandora (1779) CAD build log
Hi SketchupModeler,
Splendid work on the Pandora, thanks very much for the tutorial
I've long been itching to try out building this particular ship and draw my own bulkheads by re-scaling the AOTS plans to 1/64 and offsetting each station by 1.5mm inward to make up for planking thickness, sketch-up seems to be a fairly nice and economical option for me to try out my plan. I will be watching your build with great interest

rdsaplala got a reaction from GrandpaPhil in HMS Triton by Alan – POB 1/64
I can't speak for Lavery and Longridge since I have no copy of these two books.
So instead, I just uploaded a sample of a 4- and 3 butt-shift system as well as a sample of hooked planks that I saved from one of the earlier threads in this forum.
If I remember correctly, there was some spirited discussion in that thread as to whether planks are nibbed or hooked, but most contemporary models in the same period as Triton support the "hooked" planks as shown in my upload.

rdsaplala got a reaction from popeye the sailor in Licorne by mtaylor - 3/16" scale - POF - TERMINATED LOG
Hi Mark,
I'm just starting to catch up with MSW and I'm very sorry to hear about your Licorne
But, as the others have said, you've made a very brave decision and you won't regret it.
All the important lessons you've learned with this build will help you create the ultimate Licorne model
Wishing you all the best, my friend

Hi Guy,
Here's my take on the thicknesses of your component parts (Russ, kindly correct me for any mistakes in my interpretation).
As seen in the pic below, you basically just repeat the same thicknesses you did with the stern. Deadwood and adjacent components (D) would follow the same thicknesses as your stern and ends up as a deeper notch at the Rabet ( R ). Rising wood (Ri) is slightly thicker than deadwood and tapers down as you approach the Rabbet ( R ). Like in the stern, the rabbet at the stem is basically the same thickness throughout:

I've been trying to order the maple planking from Woodprojectsource for two days now, but keep getting the message that the site is down for maintenance. It's a little like torture! lol. I think I'll draw out a sample planking pattern on the templates, and run it by you guys for your thoughts.

No such critter this time, Aldo. They come in big and if you upload to the max, they kit out and open a new window (in Chrome at least) of the full size picture. Easy on the eyes it is.

No problem, Alan, I'm glad to be of help. Sorry for cramming 2 large pictures on your log, I'm still learning the present format of attaching files, and I can't seem to find an option of placing a small attachment icon that would only show the picture once you click it

Hi Christian,
Unfortunately, I only got the pictures from Chuck's post in the discussion below:
The first contemporary model is of the frigate Winchelsea and I think the second one is Minerva.
Perhaps Chuck has some other high resolution pictures of these, the low resolution pictures can be seen at the RMG website:
