yamsterman got a reaction from cog in WASHINGTON GALLEY by yamsterman - 1/48 scale - POF May 22, 2016

hi mark
thanks for dropping in.....jig proved most useful as a saw guide for the bottom cut of the sill.....then as a resting point for a piece of timber,which was the thickness of the sill minus the thickness of the saw blade.
hopefully this has kept everything lined up and rebates nice and tight.
borrowed and adapted the jig from various builds....I think jeronimo was the main inspiration.
now to rework those pesky filling frames on the starboard side!
cheers.....mick

hi all

time for another update. been busy installing gun port sills and stern framing,

starboard side stern framing had to come out as I made a boo boo with a couple of measurements.

port side is ok.

made up a clamp to act as a saw guide for cutting out the sill rebates.....just a couple of pieces of 1/16 x 1/4 brass with tapped holes on one piece and clearance holes on the other for 3/4 inch 8ba bolts......I used an 8ba box spanner to tighten the nuts.....the silver tube in the photos.

just one more set of sills to go before I start on the lintels and finish the stern framing......then the sweep ports to fit.....and on to fairing the internals before fitting the keelson pieces.

photos enclosed as per usual.

all comments and screams of approbation welcome.

cheers for now.......mick

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
