hi all
managed to get some more work done on the sloop today.
yards temporarily rigged to mast with parrels.
spreading yard requires a truss i believe,get round to that when rigging proper starts.
pear wood blocks done for cathead.
decided to make a binnacle for the deck. lifted the general shape and proportion from ron macarthys book on scratch building a two masted sloop of 1752.
built from a ramin core and then skinned with 0.6mm box veneer,top from 1mm box and panel details from 0.6mm box veneer.
details ; copper pipe for lantern chimney and amati brass pins for handles.
tomorrows job is rigging the gun tacles and breeching ropes.
photos enclosed.

yamsterman got a reaction from Pete38 in hms triton; first attempt at plank on frame
Hi Pete
Something of a magpie when it comes to wood especially model making timbers.pear wood is a right price in england esp if its processed to a specific thickness.cheaper if you buy rough sawn boards but then you have to process it to thickness. The one thing I do need and will have to buy is a drum thicknesses.I'm looking at something called a hog from a Californian co. Cheaper than a Byrne's and $65 to import.this may be the way to go.
Cheers....mick

yamsterman got a reaction from fatih79 in hms triton; first attempt at plank on frame
hi all
just a quick update on progress so far.
false keel attached with paper tarring.
components are over length at the moment.
first couple of pics show keel assembly.
ive included some pics of tools used.primarily a crown miniature cutting gauge used to deliniate the upper and lower edges of the rebate.the blade is then turned to use as a scraper,after centering the point on the rebate , and the rebate is then cut.the blade is not quite the right shape so finished the cut with a 2nd cut triangular file.
boxwood stash i shall be using for this build. i have also just aquired a nice supply of english holly. i brought it from a chap who was using it to restore a riva aqaumarina. it was a very modest price but VERY rough sawn. a local timber shop planned it all down to 8mm thickness. i shall use some of this as decking on the cross section model. also slowly but surely collecting a supply of pear wood.

Hi ray
Great work on your extended cross section.can't wait to get started on mine! How did you find working with basswood? Its readily available over here in the UK but I tend to find it quite "fluffy" .how do you keep a nice square and well defined edge? Do you scrape rather than sand?
Cheers......mick

hi all
decided to bite the bullet and have a go at hms triton cross section as a first attempt at true plank on frame, rather than go all out on a full hull.
downloaded the keel and keelson drawing ........and wood has been cut...sawdust has been produced!!
permission to come aboard and embark on the next stage!
i have chosen to do the majority of the construction in pyrennian boxwood,deck planking in holly and external planking in pear (wales) and boxwood. i may throw in a couple of other species apple and sycamore for other fittings.

Hannah was my first attempt at scratch building and I think it is a good choice. It is a small ship and there are no carvings or friezes. But if you are looking to build an exact copy of Hannah...choose another ship. This subject has been addressed in the various logs for Hannah but basically these plans are representative of what Hannah may have looked like. There are no as-built plans. If it matters to you, there is no below-decks detail.

hi all
been busy over the last couple of days.unfortunately its back to four nights of work.boo hoo!
almost ready to start rigging.forgot to make the pawl bit for the windlass but will get round to that next time im off.
had my recent delivery from chuck passaro,beautiful pear wood blocks plus some more rope.
once the riggings complete theres a lantern for the transom,another of chucks offerings and then finally the swivel guns.

yamsterman got a reaction from JesseLee in Scottish Maid by JesseLee - FINISHED - Artesania Latina - 1:50
Hi Jesse
Lovely work for a first model. I had both my carpal tunnels done about 5 years ago. Here in england its done under local , interesting experience! Once the Stitch's are out some GENTLE exercise is quite therapeutic. A few weeks down the line you will notice a big difference. Look forward to further posts in due course.regards....mick

found some more pictures of current build.should bring things up to date. almost ready to start rigging.will be using chuck passaros blocks and rope.
already used some of chucks cannon barrels on scratch built carriages.absolutely superb qaulity turnings.
will also be using chucks lantern kit as a final stern embellishment.
postman brought my latest kit this morning,direct from model expo in florida . rn pinnace based on chucks prototype. should be an interesting build.
also have just subscribed to deagostini for their hms surprise kit.this will form the basis of a heavily modified kit build.some of the components are crude to say the least. i was intending to build this as the refitted ship circa 1798? hence the purchase of the original draft from the nmm.wont be starting this for another 12 months or so, lots of planning to do first.
