jaerschen got a reaction from Jorge Diaz O in HMS Triton 1773, 1/48, POF by Juergen
Hello Guys
Here's a little update of my build. I install the aft Cant-Frames at the moment. You can see my practice of the following photos. I hate it to do the same for several hours. That's why I decided to produce a Frame, install it and than produce the next Frame and so on. At this way I had a bit of change.
To saw out the parts I use a band-saw with a special saw band for slightly curves.
I hope that the next update is showing the finish of the frame build.

Thanks for following this build, Christian.
Not much got done this weekend, between Fall cleanup and getting my Hannah cleaned up to take to the NRG meeting next week, there was not much time for building. When I bought the styrofoam for the base, I found a hobby-quality drafting table. It elevates and tilts, important to me since I prefer to work standing up (I guess it's the surgeon in me). And at 30% off, what girl could say "no"? A bungee cord across the base keeps everything in place, even at an angle. And the casters allow me to follow the sun.
The second two rows of planking are almost completed. When I return, I will start the planking below the wales.

And thank you Piet .
Continuing on with the Bowsprit. The Cap has been made - this one is considerably more difficult to make than the mast caps, due to the angle of each cut. The groove in one side is the seat for the Jackstaff :
I cut down and soldered one of my spare trunnion caps for the jackstaff capsquare :
Also made were the Bees and Bee Blocks, the Spritsail Yard Sling Cleat complete with "lead" liner, the Jibboom Saddle and a Woolding :
Continued next post ......

..... continued.
To drill the holes at an angle in the Saddle I set it up in my mill vise :
The Saddle and Gammoning Cleats fitted :
The inboard end gets a "iron" band made from thin card :
The outboard end of the Jibboom has a shoulder cut into it and a tiny sheave :
Some views of the bowsprit assembled. As with the other masts nothing has been glued yet (apart from the fittings) :

Thanks AP, Rusty, Nils and for all the likes.
Rusty - it's good to see you back around.
So the rough fairing has been completed and frame pair K which is the first frame bend has now been installed with its spacers. I am making and installing the floor spacers from 4" Swiss pear as the square frames go in, and the frame bend spacers are 4" boxwood that I hope will give a little bit of contrast.
As of today, frame 14fore and frame pair J have been cut out and need assembly, hopefully over next few days.

Hi
here are photos of the progress before the long break.
You can see the first attempt at the first photo based on the MSW drawings. Afterwards it was clear to me that the Frame-Drawings were not suitable for a single frame build.

If I fit the transoms I had a big trouble. The reason was a wrong angle at the top-view plan.
On the following photo you can see the correct angle and the discrepancy.
If I know that it was possible to fit transoms.

Build log part 65
a Little update to Keep the gear moving on...
Topmast shrouds (without ratlines) set, as well as top topmast foreward stays. I`ll leave away the top backstays untill later because they would only hinder the Access to the deck in the Moment. I`m thinking of making and rigging the stay sails, now would be the time to have relatively good Access to the belaying points

Main- fore- and topsail yards
These Yards with their soldering work at the yardtips were the most difficult.
today I received the ordered 3,5 mm deadeyes for rigging the upper shrouds and some backstays, shall continue with that sequence next

Hello,
your positive comments are always pleased me.
With other fittings on the outboard walls I want to continue my report.
In addition to various eye bolts with rings were also fittings to customize for the fore-channels.
One of these fittings is used to hook the lower-studding-sail-boom.
The other is for the mooring of the flying-jib-guys.
I hope you enjoy the pictures.

jaerschen reacted to tlevine in HMS Atalanta 1775 by tlevine - FINISHED - 1:48 scale - from TFFM plans
It is time to work on the lower hull. I pressed the top timbers, stem and counter timbers into a 2" thick slab of styrofoam. I then threaded butcher's twine through the gun port openings and secured the hull to the styrofoam in four places. This allows me to comfortably work on the lower hull while having the ship securely attached to a flat surface.
The lower hull planking is holly. I am using a different holly for the hull planking than I did for the decking. That wood was more grey and had some color imperfections which became apparent after the finish was applied. This is a whiter wood without any visible flaws. (Thank you Hobby Mill.) The garboard strake was installed first. When you look at the plan, you are tempted to say "Oh, a straight line with the keel. Easy." Well, because of the twists in the plank fore and aft, that straight line is anything but. The key is to make templates of everything and then transfer the outline of the template to the wood, leaving a little extra for fine-tuning. The fore end of the garboard was terminated per the layout in TFFM. Prior to gluing the planks in place, the keel rabbet was cleaned up.

Ben and Mark, thanks for the support.
I have reached a milestone...the upper works' planking is completed! I left the frame ends protruding above the level of the top rail to protect the upper edge of the planking. Now you can even tell which frames have timberheads associated with them. Because the only things keeping the starboard frames in line are the ribbands and the filler blocks above the top of the frames, this side was not cut down. Now I have a question. In TFFM it states that where the sheer strake "...widens down to the ports there is a change in surface level to produce a smooth, continuous chamfer line..." I interpreted this to mean a smooth chamfer to the top of the port. Another interpretation would be to make the lower part of the strake the thickness of the hull planking and the top part the thickness of the sheer strake. Looking at a contemporary model of Atalanta did not show enough detail for me to tell which direction to go. If someone could give me some direction, I would appreciate it. I left things so that it would be easy to convert if my interpretation is wrong.
On to the lower hull planking.
