Thankyou Chad, I welcome your input and advice. Hopefully I shall keep getting better but at the moment I still look at what I've done and see where I could have done it differently or better and neater. I still make plenty of errors and most things get made or done more than once. It all helps the learning curve though 😁 Eamonn and Phil thanks for your continued support I really appreciate it👍 Cheers- 93 replies

Hi, just a quick update, I've repositioned the entry steps and adding one more as per plans. Also made the gangway ladder which will go on the side with the deck planking when I finally fit that gangway. My thanks to everyone who has looked in, liked and for comments. Cheers 👍😁

Thankyou Mark, no I've got to change a couple of steps as one should be set where the moulding is! Just a small error on my part😖 Thanks for looking in and your advice 👍

Hello, managed to get a couple or three hours at the workbench, and made a scraper to form the entry steps, I've also fitted them and the fenders to one side of the cross section, the gangway to the same side has been fitted as there are no guns going that side. Thanks for the likes. 😁 Cheers for now 👍

I like your thinking with the walnut and saving boxwood strips, Vane, you're doing a great job on a very nice ship.

Hi I've ordered the motosaw a couple of days ago, as I thought it was good value. From what you've done with it I'm pleased I did. Just waiting for it to arrive. Thankyou. Winnie is looking good, great job!!

I'm back, I think that the cross section needs a bit of attention as I've been concentrating on the Triton full hull and getting the plans for Winchelsea printed and sourcing the materials for the bulkheads. Anyway the second gangway has been made, (twice because I forgot to make it as a mirror image and ended up with two starboard side gangways 😖) Also fitted the capping rail and made the fenders, not fitted. Next I'll make the entry steps. Sorry no photos but will post some next time. Thanks for the likes😁 Cheers 👍

Superb work LS, it's hard to believe that it's 1:200 scale!!! My hat is off😉!!! Keep it up my friend.
-
I shall keep watching with Winchelsea also. That is on my list as well
-
Great work, Jorge. I have been using your log as inspiration for my own Triton build, thanks. (Gracias?)

Hi, got a couple of hours in today, sanded the gundeck and one coat of matt varnish, it's going to need another fine sanding and another coat. Also started to paint the wales black. Thanks to all for your support and interest 👍 Cheers 😀

Looking very nice Vane, you're doing a great job!!

Thankyou CDW, yes where has the year gone? It's always a bit manic in my house this time of year, grandkids and birthdays, 4 of them this month. Thanks for dropping by😁🖒

Hi, finished planking the gundeck, just need to sand it and matt coat it. Things will slow down a bit now because of Christmas. Too much other stuff to do. Thanks for the likes 😀 Cheers 👍

Having seen your dark option and the natural one, my preference would be the natural shingles.

Hi Chuck, would 6mm md be suitable for the bulkheads and former? I only ask as the ply I have is 5.5mm and I recall you saying that may cause problems further into the build. Thanks in advance.
-
I completely understand the reasoning, that fact never crossed my mind. Thankyou for your replies, and considerations on the idea. Cheers

Hello from Derbyshire, Vanguardmodels, a sponsor on this site do blocks and deadeyes. Also Cornwall model boats have quite an inventory of timber and fittings and postage is reasonable. Good luck with your build and have fun!!

Mark, I found making them from wood a lot easier than from metal, I was never very good with soldering. I used 1mm x 1mm walnut, I'm not sure what your equivalent imperial size is. I'll be sure to check La Belle Poule out, thanks for looking in. Hope you've not got too much snow? Cheers

Hi all, thanks LS, I keep doing a little bit here and there. I'm pleased you like it 😀 Not a lot done, a few pieces glued, not photo worthy. I've still got a few bits to sort out then it's back to planking the hull, using Chuck's edge bend method. See you all next time. Cheers 👍😀
-
That sounds like a good idea. No prohibitive shipping costs.
-
Amazing work Danny.
-
Hello everyone, I've gone and done it.!! Bought the plans, set up the build log, printed the bulkhead patterns. Just don't know where I'm going to find the time or space for this one though. Thanks for having me 👍😀

Ditto Chad, I'm in awe of you getting that much detail into something so small. 😲😲 -
@SpyGlass Dont care what all you neat workers say - I keep a damp cloth to hand and I can wipe off white glue when I spread it everywhere . CA just attachs itself to me and everything else - but never just where I want it ! I know what you mean😲😤 @Vane great start !! As soon as I've got enough pennies saved I will get Speedy
