    Oké, thank for the compliments for my build, and please feel free to use whatever you like, after all we are here to learn from each other! About the glue, i now know what you mean. I never use the liquid instant glue, and i also use the white carpenter glue, and as you say, i prefere that the most aswell.

    It is good to make the planks for 2 planking 125 mm, that works better, besides that, it was about the same ss on the original. My work will be al little different, because my whales (top and butt system) will be directly on the the first planking, and 2 mm, when second planking is placed, i will have the same result. I don't know who buils the fastest, the main goal is to learn from each other. So kep up the good work, and looking forward for your pictures

    Hoi Augie, It took me some time to read this interesting build log. To be honest the Confederacy was my dream to build next. But here in the Netherlands you can't buy it, because the dealer stopped. So i started the HMS Agamemnon. I will follow this closely, you might never know

    Hoi Pierre, I just spended some time to read the entyre build log. Great job you're doing I am biulding the HMS Agamemnon myself at the moment. You are ahead of me, so i can use your build as a example

    Hoi Kevin, It took me a few hours to read this topic. A VERY good job your showing us. Since i am building the HMS Agamemnon from the same fleet ( in fact Nelson's favourite) i will follow this closely. I can learn from this, keep up the good work

    It was only a suggestion Gil. Your details are great as always. And ofcourse as i always say: The builder of the model is the captain
  15. Klaas
    I think i got the answer Gil; The metal they used must have been a mix of copper and bronze. I tried looking on "cuprous alloy" on Google and then you get all kind of metalurgical explanations. I don't understand a thing about it because you need a universety degree and that's what i don't have Regards Klaas

    Hello Gil. I must say, i have GREAT respect for your skills. Thanks for the tutorials in each chapter. I hope you won't be angry at me, but i have one remark. I noticed in post 49 the last picture of the rudder. The hinges are painted black, History says they must have a copper couler (on the coppered part of the hull.) I followed a discussion in England and they say " On a point of historical accuracy the Pintles and Gudgeons should really be painted a coppery bronze colour to represent the cuprous alloy used in their manufacture. This was to prevent re-action with the copper plating that use of iron would have caused The book "The arming and fitting of English Ships of War 1600 - 1815" page 64 says: The gudeons, or braces, and pintles of the rudder had long presented a problem due to theire deterioration. By 1768 it was appreciated that they have to be made of a cuprous alloy, so this was done. It was beyond the capabilities of the yards to make them, and exact models of the braces and pintles of each ship had to be sent to the contractor William Forbes of Deptford. Ï surely hope you don't mind my remark. I learned al lot on this amazing build, and i will keep following this. Regards Klaas

    Thanks, Mobbsie, she's really huge!! I want to build her completly, and fully rigged Now i have to make some adjustments on mij work space first.
  18. Klaas
    Thanks Amfibius, those measurements i know. I mean the measurements from the hull itself, without the bowsprit
  19. Klaas
    Hi Mobbsie This is an amazing build! I follow this from a distance, there is one thing i want to ask you. Can you give me the dimensions of the hull please. Such as Lenght from bow to stern, and largest wide. In centimeters please? I'am concidering the HMS Agamemnon myself, after i finished my current project.
