You are right, Keith. There is a scheme of action a little easier.

Knurling is an elegant way of cheating in gear manufacturing, if you don't have a milling attachment or a milling machine
Here is the set-up I used, but the gears are somewhat smaller:
These are the gears as cut off, they still need to be turned on their face.
And cutting the rack for training guns on a metal-shaper:

Thank you Phil!
I tried to the best of my ability during all your absence.
The photo shows a trash sleeve for ash and a pole of anti-torpedo protection.

**futtock shrouds - the wrong decision**
Hello my friends!
After my last update I completed the other side of the shrouds and ratlines, here's the result!
So, both sides are finished concerning the shrouds and ratlines. It was a lot of work, but I didn't know at that time how sailors entered the top.
Someone mentioned to me to make "futtock shrouds". By adding this sailors could enter the top! After contemplating with myself I looked at the drawings by AL. On the artistic representation of the model, a small ladder was shown made of rope, but it wasn't into the plans. I thought, let's do it, let's turn the ladder into futtock shrouds. Historically correct or not....and so I constructed some futtock shrouds....I was wrong!
Another person mentioned to me that ships of that timeperiod had an "open top". More like round rings of wood on a wooden frame. Sailors entered the top by manoeuvring themselves between the rings and enter the top. Ladders or futtock shrouds were non existing!
So....what to do....leave them on or remove them....what would you do....after seeing the next pictures?
So, futtock shrouds been made....I moved to the shrouds of the mizzen mast...
Thanks for watching,
Peter

Ondras71 reacted to AVBiker in HMS Royal Caroline by Peta_V - Panart - scale 1/47 - from box with modifications
Hello Peta_V
I also build the Royal Caroline and have constructed the rails in pear wood after the AotS of Ballabarba / Osculati. The railes are not 100% correct, but good for me. Here are some pictures of the building. First the plan of AotS.

Ondras71 reacted to cog in MONTAÑES by Amalio
You mean the build is an extension of one's self. Interesting, but then
it wouldn't necessarilly be a bad conscience, but the ship may not fit the builder
As some of the others have written, but in other words: I would like to see the "bad" or "ugly" pieces. Love the way you build develops

Ondras71 reacted to Isidro in Spanish 68-gun ship of 1752 by Isidro - plans of Isidro Rivera and construction by Jose Collado
the external fixation of the bolting of the tackles of "spanish way XVIII"
top bolt for muzzle tackle
two bolts on each side for breechings (two breechings are used in case of combat)
another bolt for gun tackle
(in the photo the cannon is stowed and only uses one breeching)
In addition to using a muzzle lashing tackle, in Spain, a muzzle tackle is used.
(the muzzle tackle is the train tackle moved)

You can suggest better translations of the Spanish words.
from stern to bow
Constable's Wardrobe ( pañol del condestable) master gunner room??
light room
filling room ( pañol de la polvora), separated from the hold by a double wall with insulating brick

You will see that although it might seem similar to an English ship, you will find quite a few differences inside the ship. and also in the length with respect to an English ship of the same number of guns.
In general, the internal structure of a Spanish ship is different from the English one. the dustbin locker is located in the stern, in the English ships it is in the prow.
I'll put pictures, you can ask me questions if you want

La construcción de los marcos sigue el sistema inglés, pero debe tenerse en cuenta que durante el siglo XVIII, el sistema español se basó en los ship builders atraídos por la operación de espionaje español de 1748. El último establecimiento inglés de 1745.
Este sistema fue mejorado, dimensionándolo y cambiando diferentes parámetros. (Mi libro "El 1752 barco español de 68 cañones" habla de ello).
en los planos que le suceden a jose_toledo se dibuja cada cuadro a escala 1-50 y se monta en una tabla con clanes para sujetar las piezas y que están pegados con seguridad.
Note: I translated this. Mtaylor
The construction of the frames follows the English system, but it should be borne in mind that during the 18th century, the Spanish system was based on the ship builders attracted by the Spanish espionage operation of 1748. The last English establishment of 1745. This system was improved, sizing and changing different parameters. (My book "The 1752 Spanish ship of 68 cannons" talks about it). in the planes that happen to jose_toledo each frame is drawn to scale 1-50 and mounted on a table with clans to hold the pieces and that are stuck safely.

Hi all, thank you Mark. today working on the flags, made new masts for them too and also rigging. Now i need to paint crew figures i got for 1/75 scale. Few photos:

Ondras71 reacted to Isidro in Spanish 68-gun ship of 1752 by Isidro - plans of Isidro Rivera and construction by Jose Collado
Here I put some drawings of my book that explain some pieces of the model. the pieces are taken from the regulation of 1752 oak woods, which has drawn all the silhouettes of the pieces.
the regulation of oak woods is a complete book, but in my book of the ship of 68 cannons I digitized and cleaned it, I put a picture of the set of pieces.
These regulations were always ignored by non-Spanish researchers. and they are a great source of knowledge

Once all the frames were built, a first sanding job was carried out.
According to one knows of the English system of construction of that time, according to the book of another spy, this time French (blaise ollivier 1737) between two "account" frames (I do not know the term in English). there are three filler frames in which the bow part of the frame is not attached to the stern part.
also the space between frames in these ships is minimal in the area attached to the keel
no frame has its bolted pieces, according to the Spanish writings of that time,
in my plans we chose to have only one filler frame.
the assembly started in the bow, which is classic of the Spanish system and also of the English, and different from the French system type "orange segments"
then they go hemi-frames inclined.
as the years passed, the number of crooked frames increased.
in the stern the corresponding parts are placed, in Spanish it is the "peto de popa" with the "gambotas"
You can see Jose_toledo proud of our work.

Ondras71 reacted to woodrat in Venetian Round Ship c. 13th century by woodrat - FINISHED - 1:32 scale - fully framed
The wales have been attached. I have inserted the main throughbeam in the stern. This a major structural element as the quarter rudder applies its turning moment through this beam. Pilgrims in round ships have described how, travelling in steerage, they could feel every movement of and twist of the ship when they leant against the throughbeam.
Cheers

Ondras71 reacted to woodrat in Venetian Round Ship c. 13th century by woodrat - FINISHED - 1:32 scale - fully framed
Thanks Carl and Steven. The hull framing is complete and awaiting fairing so I can fix the wales. Overall the framing of the bow and stern is fairly consistent with the Contarina find. I am presently researching the quarter rudders and have decided to make a swing mount. This allowed the rudder to be swung up and secured when not in use and allowed easy removal and replacement of the rudders ( in some mediaeval ports it was a requirement on anchoring or docking to remove the rudders so the master couldn't do a quick scarper and avoid paying the port fees).
Cheers
Dick
