    hi ken and christian
    thanks for looking in.........happy with the first frame to go in.....the aft cant frame may need some more work,need to study the plans a bit more!
    looking forward to more frames and a ship slowly emerging!
    cheers....mick

    hi chuck
    i had to look twice myself at the wing transoms.....and the rest of em!!!
     
    the wing transom starts off as a sqaure block of timber,slightly thicker than is required but wide enough to paste the plan view on top.
     
    i had a play around this morning and remade the piece in 1/24 scale,primarily because its easier to photograph and secondly it shows the round up better.
     
    i havnt gone to any great lengths to finish the piece,made from a bit of ramin i had lying around,but the photographs should show the construction sequence in the order i did it.
     
    the rear face of the wing transom need to have its face angled in order to be in the same plane as the rabbet of the stern post......not shown on the plans.
    the ends of the transoms may need to have an angle planed on them in order to fit flush against the rear face of frame 22.......the bottom of the wing transom will fit against the top of the rear part of frame 22.
     
    hope this makes sense.
     
    the following photos should be in the right order for the construction sequence.

    WASHINGTON GALLEY PART 6........FIRST FRAME IS RAISED!!!!
     
    HI ALL
    HAVING MADE THE LAST HALF FRAME AFT I DECIDED IT WAS PERHAPS WISE TO RAISE THIS FRAME FIRST
    THE SINGLE AFT CANT FRAMES LEADING EDGE BUTTS UP AGAINST THE REAR FACE OF THIS FRAME SO IT MAKES SENSE.
     
    I CAN THE WORK TOWARDS MIDSHIPS WITH THE REST OF THE AFT HALF FRAMES. I MAY THEN SWITCH MY ATTENTION TO THE FORWARD CANT AND HALF FRAMES AND THE DREADED HAWSE PIECES.
     
    MIDSHIPS FRAMES ARE FROM ( 6 FRAMES FORWARD OF DEADFLAT AND 6 FRAMES AFT OF DEADFLAT) ALL THE SAME BASIC SHAPE WITH NO BEVEL. THE HEIGHTS ARE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT,TO ACCOUNT FOR THE SHEER,AND SOME HAVE RECESSES FOR THE GUNPORT SILLS AND SWEEP PORTS.......BATCH PRODUCTION TIME!
     
    SO THATS WHERE I AM AT THE MOMENT.....TIME FOR A CELEBRATORY SNIFTER

    WASHINGTON GALLEY PART 5
     
    HI ALL
     
    TODAYS EFFORTS WERE MAINLY CONCERNED WITH THE PRODUCTION OF THE AFT CANT FRAME (N0 22).
    ALL PARTS WERE CUT OUT TO THEIR RESPECTIVE LINES AS INDICATED ON THE PLANS,CAREFULLY GLUED UP,AND THEN THE RESPECTIVE BEVELS CUT.
     
    ATTACHED PHOTOS SHOW THE RESULTS.
     
    IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THE LOWER WING TRANSOM NEEDS TO HAVE ITS ENDS ANGLED SLIGHTLY IN ORDER TO FIT FULLY AGAINST THE REAR FACE OF THE CANT FRAME.
     
    CHEERS.....MICK
     
    THE OPTIVISORS ARE A RECENT AQUISITION.......I CAN NOW SEE WHAT IM DOING!!!!

    WASHINGTON GALLEY PART 5 . MORE TRANSOMS STERN TIMBERS AND FUNNY BENDY THINGS.
     
    HI ALL
     
    BEEN BUSY BEAVERING AWAY MAKING LOTS OF SAWDUST.
     
    STARTED MAKING THE STERN FRAMING COMPONENTS AND THE REST OF THE TRANSOMS.
     
    ALSO DID A PRACTICE RUN WITH THE STERN COUNTER FASHION PIECES,THESE ITEMS ARE SOMEWHAT AWKWARD THINGS TO MAKE,I ENDED UP GLUING TWO PIECES OF 1/4" STOCK TOGETHER IN ORDER TO GET THE RIGHT THICKNESS. I THINK IT WOULD BE BETTER TO CUT THESE FROM THE APPROPRIATE SINGLE THICKNESS......MAY BE ANOTHER ORDER TO TIMBERLINE! THE PRACTICE PIECES DONT LOOK TO BAD AND I MAY BE ABLE TO USE THEM......BUT THAT WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE STERN FRAMING GOES TOGETHER AND I CAN PROPERLY TEST FIT THEM. ANYTHING NOT UP TO SPEC GETS REMADE!!!!!
     
    I WILL LEAVE YOU WITH SOME PHOTOS TOO SEE WHAT YOU THINK.
     
    CHEERS.....MICK

    Hi Carl
    Lol!!!! Despite wearing glasses for reading I was still having trouble seeingall those converging lines! And for a measly £10 they are a godsend. Tight joints help.....less glue to fill the gap! The touch is less sensitive today as I ran a lovely sharp liogier needle rasp over my index finger!....no damage done but time for a coffee...as a small aside I made frame 22 today....the last half frame...the previously made aft cant frame butts up against this one at a slight angle.....we will see how accurate I have been when it comes time to commit to glue a bit later today!
    Still a journey man mate....when I get to the level of ed tosti,Dan vadas,Johann,Alexandria,j k Lee to name but a few then I think master might be a worthy title.....till then I am a paduwan.....grasshopper etc!!!!!!

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.
