rdsaplala got a reaction from knightyo in HMS Triton by Alan – POB 1/64
You could also have a look at TFFM vol. 2 by David Antscherl. It contains some pretty detailed planking diagrams for the decks including the "hooked" planks as they go towards the bow and stern.

rdsaplala got a reaction from mtaylor in HMS Triton by Alan – POB 1/64
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:

Hi Sjors,
Just catching up, wow you're really building a fleet of ships of the line my friend, and the speed of your build is amazing!
Beautiful and clean build Sir, she has some lovely lines

Thanks Mike,
You won't regret trying out CAD, you can produce more precise drawings from it plus you can draw fine details and have them laser cut thereby making your work easier
Thanks Christian,
If I could get my Triton to look half as beautiful as your Diana, I would be a very happy man

Hi Aldo
It's good to have you back with us
Regarding the planking : as far as I'm concerned no lashes only congrats and a double portion of rhum
For a first scratch building project : what a wonderful looking hull !

Aldo!!! I'm so happy to see you back here my friend. It's been quite some time, and I was wondering how you were doing.
You've made some really nice progress on your Triton build - it's coming along fantastic! It's really cool to watch you move from kits to scratch building, in particular, your work with the plans and CAD. The CAD stuff is a brave new world for me, so I'm taking notes while watching you.
Stay good my fellow Badger Brother. Glad to see you are back

Hi Aldo, thanks for the kind words but life got a bit in the way of shipbuilding the last few weeks ( paint ceilings & paper the walls,....)
However the 26ft boat is finished : pics are to follow.

The deck planking begins. The first planks are along the center line. These planks have to be right or it will spoil the appearance of the deck. I am using jigs to represent the footprints of the pilot house and hatches. This will ensure that the deck planks end snugly against the hatch coamings and the base of the pilot house. Doing it this way will allow me to have the coamings and pilot house base sit down into the deck planking, making a snug and seamless fit more likely. I could simply plank the deck and then have the coamings sit on top of the planking. However, that could lead to ugly gaps along the base of the coamings. I am hoping this will make that possibility less likely.

rdsaplala got a reaction from Piet in Licorne 1755 by mtaylor - 3/16" scale - French Frigate - from Hahn plans - Version 2.0 - TERMINATED
Your prototype carriage looks great, Mark, I'm sure you'll pick up speed in no time at all once you start assembling the others. I bet you're thankful that you chose to build a frigate rather than a hundred-gun three-decker now that you're at this stage of the build

Hi Mike,
It's nice to see you building this beautiful frigate, I too love the lines of this particular model, you're off to a good start my friend, she's shaping up nicely
I really enjoyed reading your discussion on establishing the identity of this ship, excellent research work
