yamsterman got a reaction from harvey1847 in hms triton; first attempt at plank on frame
hi all
first post for a while.not had much time for modelmaking unfortunately.
but have found time to start on the gun tackles.
blocks are single 3mm pearwood from chucks emporium of goodies.
reading through swan class books....a great source of inspiration and information.....blocks were stropped and served.
i have attempted to replicate this.
firstly a length of fine brass wire was annealed and wrapped round the appropriate diameter form, in this case a length of 6mm brass bar.
rings were then cut off and silver soldered. 0.1mm thread was then wrapped round to represent the serving.
the oversized ring was then squished round the block so that a beckett was formed either end.....one for the hook and one for the lanyard.
photos enclosed.....comments and critisms greatly appreciated.
man ropes for the entry stanchions also been started.
thats all for now folks
cheers....mick

Hi Carl
Lots of sanding my friend. Those planks of bass wood started out at1/32 inch thick by the time I've cleaned up the interior they will probably be more like 1/64inch. Scary!!!

hi all
not much progress to report.
but we do have a nice pile of components ready to go.
have also been trying out chucks edge bending method on a model shipways pinnance kit.
i have enclosed some photos of this model for reference purposes.
not finished yet and some more sanding yet to do on the hull.
far too much glue used on the strake to frame joint and is going to take some cleaning up. lesson learnt!
will be restarting in earnest once the triton cross section is finally finished
again comments and critisms are greatly appreciated
cheers....mick

HI ALL
TIME FOR THE FUN TO START. PURCHASED CHUCKS PLANS AND TURNED BRASS CARRONADES/CANNON JUST AFTER CHRISTMAS.
USUAL EXCELLENT QUALITY SERVICE FROM CHUCK.
HAVE DECIDED TO FOLLOW ALONG WITH CHUCKS BUILD BUT I DOUBT IF I CAN COMPARE WITH THE MASTER!!!
BUILD SEQUENCE WILL BASICALLY FOLLOW CHUCKS POSTS .
HOWEVER INSTEAD OF USING CASTELLO BOX I WILL BE USING SWISS PEAR AND EBONY FOR ANYTHING PAINTED BLACK IE WALES ,BULWARK CAPPING ETC.
I MAY EVEN USE SOME PINK IVORY FOR SOME STRUCTURES THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN PAINTED RED OCHRE, BUT THAT MAY CHANGE AS MY LAST EXPERIMENTS WITH PINK IVORY WERE NOT VERY SUCCESSFUL.
WORK HAS ALREADY STARTED ON BASIC COMPONENTS, HAVING PHOTOCOPIED THE RELAVANT BITS OF THE PLANS ( SORRY CHUCK I KNOW YOUR PLANS SAY NO COPYING BUT ITS PURELY FOR MY OWN USE AND I COUNDNT BRING MYSELF TO CUT INTO THE PLANS!!) THEY WERE PASTED ONTO 1/4 BIRCH PLY AND CUT OUT.
BEARING IN MIND I DONT OWN A SCROLL SAW AND IF I DID IT WOULD HAVE TO LIVE IN THE GARAGE,TOO COLD TO WORK OUT THERE THIS TIME OF YEAR!,THE COMPONENTS WERE ROUGHED OUT WITH A 10 INCH BAND SAW AND THEN SANDED/FILED TO SHAPE.
THE ENCLOSED PHOTOS SHOULD SHOW CURRENT PROGRESS. WORK WONT COMMENCE UNTIL IVE FINISHED THE TRITON CROSS SECTION, I DONT HAVE THE SPACE UNFORTUNATELY FOR TWO CON CURRENT BUILDS.
CHEERS.......MICK

Hi Patrick
Thanks! Took some doing by hand I must get round to buying a scroll saw! Been itching to do this since chuck announced it on his website.let's hope I can do it justice!

Hi cnemo
Chucks dimensions are in inch's which I will try and follow. However most of the timber I buy is in mm .so it can be a pain trying to reconcile the two....usually ends up in a fair amount of planing and sanding!
Cheers.....mick

Hi chuck
Thanks for the likes. I will more than likely be ordering the rigging material from you. Thanks for the offer with the laser cutting but I'm trying to make this as scratch built as possible! I will even have a go at making the blocks. Armament I had to order from you along with the plans as I'm between lathes at the moment. Looking forward to part three.....if I can get my planking half as good as yours I shall be well pleased.
Finally just a thank you for all your hard work in making the plans and fittings available as well as taking the time to write a practicum.
Cheers....mick

Hi cnemo
I purchased my plywood from an aircraft model specialist in Blackburn,UK. It was quoted as being exactly 1/4inch thick or 6.35mm and after putting a vernier quage at various points was as near as it needs to be. Sometimes 1/4 inch is mixed up with metric 6mm. It was also qoutee as being laser cutting quality. I was pretty impressed with thickness and flatness and I only found one small void whilst cutting out the bulkheads.
Cheers....mick

hi all
just a quick update to show current progress.
pretty much finished with the majority of the woodworking just got to make the various ladders and gun carriages.
ordered some brass canons from rb models in poland as ive just got rid of my cheap chinese made lathe.
considering purchasing a peatol/taig , reviews seem good, any thoughts?
metal work for the gangboard supports , stanchions for entry ropes and stanchions for gangboard rails are made and blackened but not overly happy with the blackening process so they will be cleaned off and redone.
cheers.....mick

The base was quickly done from a picture frame.
The barrels and the anchor were taken from an old kit.

Upper deck progress
Up to now, 6th deck beam has fitted. Making small fittings takes much time. Windlass, fore companion way grating were placed. Small metal stove has been tried with Cu foil but the result was too shiny and unbalanced with surrounding wood color, so I'll remake it with blackened Cu foil.
Cheers, Lee
