    You can put me down for one Chris. I don't have any preference on wood type so long as I can get a Speedy. 😃👍

    Cracking job LS, those ratlines look great and as for the anchors well what can I say except fantastic 😀👍 Cheers

    Great videos Chuck. They'll be a big help when I get round to planking the Triton. Thankyou!

    Hello LS, yes I bought these plans from NRG for $5 = £4.34. I hope to make everything but the cannon, rigging yarn, blocks and deadeyes but we will see if I can manage this. It's going to be quite a challenge but I have no time constrictions on this build, it will be as and when. Thanks for looking in. Cheers 😀

    That's a good looking raven Phil.

    Hi all, The borrowed jigsaw did the job and then had 2 or 3 hours with old trusty cutting the b/h . I've dry fitted them to the keel former and there is quite a bit of tweaking to do. I must say although it's still using a saw it made a change from cutting the components for the x section frames. I'm gonna need a bigger table!! If I'm going to do more of this type of build I got to get a band saw or a scroll saw, it was a lot of cutting.

    Hi LS That little extra you've just done with the anchors is just great. Good work. He told you !!😋😅

    Hi all, so started to cut bulkheads out but found that I can't get my trusty coping saw in as there is to much board, I think I will borrow my dad's jigsaw to rough cut them and then do the precision cut with old trusty. Til then cheers.

    Hi all, had 2 or 3 hours on my cross section mainly cutting frames and assembling them. I've only got four more to make, but as my decking timber has not arrive yet I'm not going to rush them. This is because I've found that when rushing thing go wrong, and that's why my last two frames were cut out twice with one of them going in the scrap box. Well till next time, Cheers

    Hi Vane, I've just been on Jotikas site and according to their news bulletin they are bringing out a model of HMS Surprise 1:64 and eventually a 74 gun liner in 1:64 We will have to wait and see.

    Hi LS., thanks for looking in. This one is a bit slow moving at the moment. I have started the cross section. It's in the group projects for Triton, then cross sections. To be honest that is not going any faster but it is a great learning experience. Cheers

    Very nice LS, she's looking very ship shape. Great work. Cheers

    Finally managed to resize and print the centre board. I'm going to be cutting it and the bulkheads out tomorrow, then dry fit to see if everything is ok .
  17. Edwardkenway
    That is a must have kit for me!! Still waiting patiently but definitely getting itchy fingers now. She looks amazing😜

    Hi LS, looking good, I agree with you, I found rigging can be a very enjoyable part of the build. I think your masts and spars look neat and sharp with their paint job. Keep up the good work Cheers

    @vaddoc I have come to the conclusion that if I'm going to buy anything it will be a scroll saw. As to all the other toys my other half would raise more than her eyebrows. But till my budget is healthy enough to get said scroll saw I will persevere with my coping saw and for smaller more delicate work a jewellers saw. Thanks for your input it is greatly appreciated. Also thanks to everyone who has contributed to this discussion. Cheers

    Chris what woods are you doing the first release of Speedy in? ( I'm waiting patiently for Speedy) Cheers Scratch this question as I've realised you posted earlier with Pear, cherry and tanganyika.

    Hi all, Could not find the time to get any more frames made up, so decided to have a crack at the gun carriage axles and wheels. I racked my brain thinking what to use for the wheels but then I looked at the pencil I'd been chewing, it would be perfect as it was 5mm diameter and the lead ran exactly through the centre. So I drilled the lead out and then sliced the pencil into as many rounds as it would make as I was bound to break some.I could not cut them to thin as they just broke apart so there was a lot of sanding to make them look passable. All in all I had an enjoyable couple of hours doing this. Oh well back to the frames next time, although there's no rush as I'm waiting for the wood for the deck structure to arrive. Cheers

    Hi all, I'm doing this as having bought the plans for the cross section I thought I might as well use the full ship plans too. When I get time I will cut the bulkheads and centreboard. Til then please bear with me as I f I'm not here I will be next door on the cross section. Cheers
  23. Edwardkenway
    Ok thanks Chuck. Phil thanks but going to get a print shop to do it for me as I'm not too tech savvy
  24. Edwardkenway
    Hi Chuck I'm back sorry to be a pain but I've downloaded the Triton plans but can't get the POB centre board to print off, everthing else prints off fine. Thanks

    Hi all Rain today so not at work so I have done a bit on my build. Tack glued another frame template ready to cut out and made the gun carriage sides. These are made from some scrap 2mm walnut ply. These 4 are the best of my efforts. I'm not quite ready to tackle the wheels yet so I'll leave them till later when I'm a bit more confident. Cheers
