Hi, the stern frame that I fitted yesterday has been removed today as it was too high and the counter would not have finished at the level of the main wale, also the great cabin windows would have been part of the taffrel and the cabin with no windows. It's been remodeled and set lower and the planking refitted to the framework. The counter will have a second layer of planking to tidy it up. The lower deck planking has had a scraping and a light sanding ready for an application of matt coat. Thanks for liking in and the likes.👍 Till next time, Cheers 😀

Hi Chuck, Winnie is looking great!! You were right about this thread helping me out with the Triton build as I would have been a bit stumped as to how to make the quarter galleries. From this you have probably gathered that I'm going to continue with Triton as I've already got a decent way into the build, but I seriously think Winnie will be a definite future project. Thanks for all the very useful posts. Cheers 👍😀 That is after Chris's Speedy of course

Hello again, my extra wood arrived today but didn't have the time to attempt fitting the main wale, so I've fixed a piece of ply in the area underneath the hatches of the gundeck and planked it. It still has to be scraped or sanded and a coat of varnish. Also I have fitted the stern frame. The counter will probably be fitted next time. Thanks for the likes and comments, much appreciated. Cheers 👍😀

Looking very good LS, you'll be rigging before long!! Great job

I somehow missed this post. It's all looking good Mark. I wait with anticipation for further updates 👍

Hi, the wale definitely looks better a bit narrower. A lovely build😀

IHi all, thanks LS, Not a lot been done on Triton since last time, I've planked up to the sheer rail but till I get some more wood to do the main wale I'm not going any further. Till next time, Cheers

Hi LS, she's beginning to look like Victory as we know her. You are doing a brilliant job, keep up the good work. I just know that you'll do her justice LS. I'll keep watching with interest. 👍 Cheers

The white beech or steamed beech looks the best in my opinion.
-
Hello Matrim, I have used beech, steamed I think, and it's a lovely wood to work but can be a bit splintery, on my Triton hull I'm using yellow cedar I've sourced from Balsacabin.co.uk. That said I really like the look of cherry. That's my thoughts for you. Cheers

Hi all, I've had two or three hours in the workroom and have finally started to get some planking on the hull. I have fitted two strakes to either side with the first sitting at the bottom of the gunports then the next on top of the first, it will be the gunwale moulding on top of the second plank. Working down to the keel is one more plank then the main wale but that is next time. I've also run a plank on the inside to allow me to put the gundeck in. I decided not to do the lower deck although ther will be a section of deck planking midships that could be seen through the gundeck gratings. Till next time 😊 Cheers. Thanks for the likes 👍

Umm, that's the plan. Hunting around modelshipworld has inspired me to take more care, when possible. Thanks for the encouragement! Eric what I meant was as a kid, impatience took over and my model was thrown together, no thought about upgrading or re-modelling. Same with the rigging just used whatever was supplied. No offence intended. 👍😉
-
Hi Eric, I built this model as a kid, so much fun even then, but it was just glue it and paint it, built from the box, rigging and everything. Yours already looks 100% better than mine ever did. Keep up the good work. Cheers

Wow Chuck, your Winnie is amazing, the more I watch this group the more I think about putting Triton on hold and trying Winnie. Thanks for the very informative posts. Cheers.

That's very good Phil, do you use these side projects or just display them? If you use them, do you have many armies?
-
I'm in for this little project Phil

Hi, an unexpected day off, (waiting for a scaffold to go up at work) So I am doing the treenails on the hull. Not been on this because I've been trying to get the full Triton POB build moving forward. But today I thought I'd work on the Xsection Treenails? done properly they look fantastic but I don't have the patience or the dexterity to make them fantastic. After putting them on this build I'll think long and hard about doing them on future projects. That's it for now. Thanks for looking in and the likes. Cheers 👍 Also posted a couple of photos of my attempt at the moulding for Triton full build.

Hi all again, regarding the stern fillers I've done a Dirk(Dubz) and resorted to a bit of deconstruction. The remade fillers look better and the stern timbers for the cabin and counter fit way better than before 😅 I have partially sanded one side and still have one to stand. Mark you are correct in the fact that they were short but I think I've got it sorted now, thanks for your advice.👍 LS I don't think I would have got a plank to fit on the original fillers but I shall test the remade blocks, thankyou for your input my friend 😉 Thanks for the encouragement and kind words Mark and LS.
-
Looks even better now Phil. Keep doing your thing 😉
-
Hi all, LS I'm not sure that I shall need fillers at the bow though they are need at the stern, but this is where I've got a problem. I have done filler blocks taking the shaping from the fully framed plans but it just doesn't look right, so I'm hoping someone will help me out.(see photos) Stern aside I've framed the gunports and fixed the keel to the former. Once I have got the stern sorted I shall make the framework for the great cabin, counter and taffrel. Til next time Cheers 👍 Thanks to all for looking in and the likes.
-
Very nice job, the headrails look A1 with the coat of black paint Phil👍
-
Hi all, LS you were right everything was fine, albeit with a little bit of tweaking. The forepiece has been fitted and I've placed strengthening pieces between the bulkheads, which have also helped keep them square and true. The filler blocks at the stern still need shaping and sanding. I'll do that next time along with the timbers for the stern. Cheers👍😀
-
Thanks Chad, the moulding was scraped in one long piece then cut, and yes it is an art, one I'm still practicing. I have made a more decorative pattern and practicing on a 3mm piece of walnut and I'm pleased to say I'm getting there. I will post some photos when I get it right.😓

Hi, if you do go over to the Dark Side what are you thinking of building? Would have to be an actual vessel or something from greek mythology, perhaps the Argo or Odysseus's Penelope. Whatever you choose to do I'd be interested in watching 👍
