yamsterman got a reaction from GrandpaPhil in hms triton; first attempt at plank on frame March 9, 2019

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
its about time i did some more work on the cross section.
armament and breeching ropes completed.
ring bolts in place for training tackles.
gangboards in place and brackets for skid beams.

now the problems.
i was unhappy with the stropping on the training tackles so have discombobulated the lot and will start again. should be enough room to get them in!

the other two pairs of brackets dont fit! rather than mess about with them i will remake them.

apart from the gangboard railings and turning some pedastals down from brass were nearly there.

photos of current progress attached.
cheers for now.........mick

hi all

just a few more photos of the cross section,been sneaking a bit of time in whilst finishing the sloop model off.

frames faired, i hope. wale strakes fitted in ebony.
limber boards and strakes fitted just working my way round the various ceiling timbers.

have cut some forms for the deck beams will be soaking some pear later and clamping everything up for later.

Hi all
Today mick is a very happy bunny!!!!!! The Byrne's saw was delivered this morning!!!
And what a cracking bit of kit it is too! Top marks to Jim and Donna. Time to make some sawdust this afternoon! Almost a shame to get it dusty. Too anybody humming and arring about getting one......DONT!!!! Despite the added costs of importing to the UK its well worth it, far superior machine to anything we can buy in Europe.
Now too save some more pennies for some extras and the next machine.
Cheers.....mick

hi all
just a quick update.frames are now done and raised on the keel.ive used some fillers to brace the frames. these will be covered by the planking at a later date.the one thing i forgot to do was take some photos of the frames in the jig. i didnt make anything special as far as the jig was concerned just asimple right angle arrangement with frame c as a reference point.all frames aligned with frame c and braced and glued one at a time. all held together with a heath robinson contraption of clamps and elastic bands.

this will probably be the last post for a couple of weeks or so as im waiting for my new brynes saw to arrive.exciting!!!
i will need this to cut the planking and decking accurately.

cheers....mick

Hi Pete
Many thanks for the compliments. Been an interesting and at times challenging project.......always aspired to a proper plank on frame build ever since I read Peter danks hms mrymidon articles in model boats magazine many years ago. Never thought I'd ever get there but.....steady as she goes!
The next project along with chucks cutter cheerful will be.......... The Washington galley courtesy of the nrg , currently studying the plans and practicum and waiting for my boxwood to arrive.
Looking forward to a fully framed build
Cheers....mick

Hi Kevin
Thanks for following along! It's been an interesting experience as an introduction to p.o.f. building.......I think I'm hooked and the dark side cometh! Thanks have to go to all the staff/moderators who did the primary research and drew up the plans and made them available on the forum. I recommend the project to any body with a couple of kits under their belt.
Next up is a fully framed hull with all those lovely frames and cants!
Cheers....mick
