jaerschen reacted to KennyH78 in H.M.S Triton Cross Section by KennyH78 - FINISHED - 1:48
The frame for the lower deck is completed and currently dry fitted into the hull to dry. I am going to give it some extra time to dry, want to make sure that it is good a dry before sanding to make sure all is flush for planking. I also need to make and install the hanging knees as well.
Speaking of planking, I am undecided on if I should plank the whole deck or half of the deck. I am going to use maple for the planks and I still need to cut those out of the piece of maple that I have. So I guess I have a little time to figure that out.
Anyways, here are the pictures as she sits now, with the frame dry fitted into the hull.

I got the treenailing completed on the starboard side and have started drilling the holes on the port side. Once the port side is done, I will sand all the planks smooth and apply some wipe on poly. Then it will be on to building the lower deck.
I am using bamboo for the treenails, and I guess they will stand out a lot better once the finish is applied.

Greetings to all,
Another minor update to my Triton but update just the same. I know that it’s been a while since my last update due to the fact that I went on vacation to Puerto Rico (which I might I add I enjoyed immensely). Upon returning, I decided to tackle the starboard side gangway with its wooden brackets. Upon completion of the gangways, I then made and added the ladders to each gangway and finished it off the gangway with simulated treenails. If you note, there is a height on the aft QD from the gangway that I find to be too high for a man’s natural step. I will add one step at the base of the QD’s beam in order for a man to step naturally from gangway to QD. I have also finished the entry steps to both sides of the Triton, added each side’s fenders, and also added the brakes to the ship’s cistern system.
The next thing on my agenda is to make and install the QD rails, add the skid beams, work on the mast, make and install the lower hold’s platform ladder, and add barrels and ballast. I know that there is still quite a few items left to work on but I figure that if I make a temporary checklist in order to be sure that I tackle the main items, I won’t get to the end and realize that I missed something.

Thanks Tim!, slowly getting there! Doing the stain on the wheels and some mock-up assembly just to see the over all look. Still need to slot the bottoms of the sides for the axiltrees to sit correctly. Pinning the wheels just to add some looks to em!

Thanks Richard. I'll be using the ones bundled with the keel, stem, and stern parts. I compared them and both sets came out the same, just that the ones with the keel is more detailed with the beveling lines and so forth.
Now for a few progress pics... Got the fore cant frames raised. Now I'm off with the hawse frames, following Daniel's method in his log. Thanks for that by the way, Daniel. Doing a test set first with some scrap pine I had laying around to work out everything and so I don't waste the mahogany. Take care guys and happy modeling!

I would think that the drawings could be adapted to single frames but remember that even the single frame construction had some sistering.I am sure the community would love to see you draw up a set of frames for the triton....start a whole new build!
lookin good keep up the good work

Hello model builders,
the manufacture and assembly of the gunports lid is nearing completion.
The last two lids must still be mounted.

So some more pictures...I have been busy on a job but try to work a bit every day on the Triton.
I am pretty much at this point fairing the inside, adjusting frames and adding the gunport sills.
Here I am fairing the inside using and old plane iron both ends work well.
Measuring the sill height from the frame plan I printed our and taped together, the rueler across the bottom in my Drywall T
I need to put a new outside support (riban) for the frames then I will start build the lower deck
To be continued:

Hello,
thanks for the positive comments.
That makes me happy.
Here is a little update:

jaerschen reacted to Ray in HMS Diana 1794 by Ray - FINISHED - Caldercraft - A 38 gun Heavy Frigate
All the quarter deck guns have now been rigged slow progress due to other comittments and a bout of flu, the only other work has been on some of the deck fittings. I will update on the fitting soon, I will also add the pin-rails, I think they will be fixed to the top of the bulwark below the open rail,I will also fit the cleats plus the eye’s to the rear half of the ship, at this moment I am also thinking the sky light will be painted red ochre and the barricade black as all the wooden components in its construction are different colours.
All the quarter deck guns rigged

Hi all
I have had a bit of a building break, mainly due to refitting our bathroom, which included a new bath and new sink & loo vanity units. We also had a week looking after two of our granddaughters. I did make up a couple of the deck fittings the capstan and the quarter deck sky-light.
Now back to adding the guns to the other side of the quarter deck, two carronades so far.

Quarter deck sky-light

build log part 26
the forecastle underdeck will be next
Shows what share is cut away of the poop deck
here view into bottom cargo deck with shot locker, lower well area, storage rooms and staircases, and middle deck with upper well area, pantry and staircase.
Forward decks with Crew quarters, staircases. Righthand the sailroom on the middle deck
aft Portion with officers quarters. Masters cabin starboard behind the middle deck stairs, an rum barrel
the guns under the poopdeck will Need to be rigged before the deck gets mounted
shall use figures with 26 mm height (26 x 64 = 1664 mm ) considering the average actual sailors height with 165 cm that seems OK
The upper bulwark / Stern angle brackets are only preliminary, they shall be replaced later
Build log part 27 to follow...

Ron,
Thanks for that. That's the way I'll leave the walnut for the wales with the exception I'm going to do the wales in Top and Butt strakes.
The Rip Angle jig arrived this afternoon, so I ripped some basswood to the scale top dimension for some Top and Butt plank practice and checking my angles. I drew up my scale plan using the dimensions in Peter Goodwin’s tome “Sailing Man of War 1650 ~ 1850” found on page 52.
Love the jig but what’s not to love about a Model Machines product. Fun!

Got the frame work started for the lower deck. I still need to make and install the ledges and knees. Right now I have it fitted to the hull, but will glue it in once the frame is complete. The deck planking will be done with some nice maple that I have and then I think I will move on to planking the outside hull up to the wales.

I wanted to upload some more pictures but need to shrink them down to meet the 2K size so I will post them later.
Below is pretty much where I am at now

Jaerschen, sorry for the delay but work comes first! Above is a pictureof the fwd cant frames. I was a little concerned about the shape but both sides are the same and it looks ok so it appears I am going with this

Well guys figure I couldn't let February end with at least a small update. Have been working on the cannons and a few other items such as the chain pumps, capstan along with redoing the helm port and upper deck transom. It seems the more I looked at those items the more I wanted to redo them and seems that that's what I did. Also added three more of the chain pump sprockets and not hoods along with the chain pin's for the capstan and drop pawl's. Did Montagu have the drop pawl's, maybe yes may be no, butt does seem that they were being used in the fleet as early as 1770 so figure I am safe adding them. Enjoy the photo's folks. Only 6 more 32 pounder's to add and the guns for this deck will be done. Gary
