Hi Carl
Transmission should read the transoms.... Blasted tablet is also going to be cosigned to Davy Jones locker as well!!
Cheers...mick

Hi Carl
Transmission are awkward little blighters.....maybe more than one remake! I did try and find the lower part of the stem that I'd previously rejected due too poor fit....but its been confined to the scrapbox in fact Jones locker in a fit of angst!
Thinking of changing my moniker to Mick " lovely bum" yamsterman........not so sure the thumbnail would be appropriate for this site !!!!
Cheers....mick

Hi Chuck
Yes that is copper you see! 0.6mm copper wire to represent the bolt heads.......I've got some liver of sulpur ready to blacken the heads once the final sanding been done.

the "back bone" is now complete and mounted on the building board.

Hi heinz
Absolutely beautiful workmanship.......lovely and clean and crisp.
Your elderberry wood certainly seems to hold small details very well.

Hi Christian
Nice to hear my heath Robinson contraption is of some help!
The jig in the picture is mk3. Absolute accuracy is a must otherwise a tinyfraction of an inch or millimetre out leads to a cumulative error. The piece of brass I used as a key was 1/32 x 1\4 a stock price from k& s metals range. The milling cutter was an imperial size of 1\4 inch. All this was specific to this model.....so I would have to make another jig for a different model. The crucial thing was getting the distance from the brass key to the edge of the milling cutter at exactly 9/64 inch.
Once this is done its a quick process to run of a length of moulding.
I hope this makes sense.
Obviously you would have to adapt your measurements to suit.
Cheers....mick

Hi Ken
Thanks for stopping by.
Driving me nuts trying to get things to conform to the plans! Nice learning curve tho!
I have a feeling the cant frames will give me a headache as will those awkward fashion piece's at the stern.
All part of the fun of model ship building!

Hi David b
Thanks for looking in. Steady as she goes! Progress will be slow but sure I hope......lots of newthings to learn.....especially with these can't frames and hawse prices........seems to be a lot of info crammed into the frame drawings, may take a while to work out which line to cut too!
Cheers....mick

Hi Chuck
I've never used liver of sulphur before but reading through various logs on MSW leads me to believe that it won't stain the wood. I will do a test piece first too see how I get on.

Hello friends,
thank you again for all the nice words :-)))
I can show you some progress. The stern is growing slowly. After finishing the back of the stern I decided to renew the lower line. I changed the distance of the pillars (I built them closer to each other) and took more care of the overall impression - sorry, I couldn´t even explain that in german - impossible for me to write that in english. Anyway, it took 1 week of my holidays and I think it was worth every minute.
I keep on going this way. And it´s a long, long way... Sometimes I talk with my workmates about my hobby and i show them pictures of my Victory. No one can imagine how much time it took to build all the details. Everyone tells me that they would not have the patience to do this. The most common question is: "can your model swim?" That is the moment when I lose my patience too. I am close to jump out of the window...
Best wishes for the weekend :-)
