    yamsterman got a reaction from GrandpaPhil in hms triton; first attempt at plank on frame   
    hi all
    hms triton cross section is now finished!
    i havnt rigged the training tackles.
    i like the model in its simple uncluttered form.
    the relieving tackles were never going to be fitted as ive left the deck planks off to help show the deck construction.....this was a contributing factor in not fitting the rest of the tackles.
    i have however fitted the stanchions and rails around the hatchway.....pretty much a direct lift from the swan class practicum.
    once again thanks to all the staff and moderators whose work in preparing the plans made my humble attempt even possible!
    final photos enclosed.
    cheers....mick
     
     
     
    p.s. excuse the junk in the final photo.old flatscreen awaiting collection by a fella who i work with!

    hi all
    finally managed to get the backboard finished for the display case.
     
    should be an appropriate piece of artwork considering the model subject!!!
     
    im now going to consider this project finished.
     
    been a very enjoyable exercise.......looking forward to the next one.
     
    cheers......mick

    hi all
    the glazing has now been installed in the case and the back panel temporarily placed in position.
     im waiting for a particular item to be delivered from across the pond in order to complete the back panel......all will be revealed in good time.
     
    since ive got a few days off i shall take some construction photos of the case construction, esp for kees   as he asked , but it may be of interest generally.
     
    cheers for now.....mick

    hi all
    this will be the last post with regards to this little sloop. its been a fun build and a learning curve. there are still a few things to do namely rope coils for rigging points,and a brass plaque for the pedastal,which has been sent away for engraving. i will start the case next week whilst i have some free time.....no work for a week....yipee!!!!!!!!!!!
    thanks for all the likes and positive encouragement.

    hi all
    the saga of the hinges continues
    the first attempt with copper was not entirely successful so decided to switch back to brass.
    the hinges are nearly done ...just a load of 0.5 mm holes to drill....a lot of cleaning up and then to blacken
     
    photos enclosed as per usual
