  1. Hi Alexandru, I am happy that you continue your fantastic log. You build a very nice and special model of this famous ship.
  2. It depends of the width of the planks. For the planking of the hull I found: if the planks are less 8'' width there is one treenail, if the planks have a width greater than 11'' there are 2 treenails For the deck planking I found the following: Planks less than 6'' width one treenail, all other two treenails. (Source: Wolfram zu Mondfeld, Historische Schiffsmodelle) Perhaps someone can verify this with another source.
  3. Rocker, I think that Russ has a great idea. I build a few frames of the section as single frames for training. For example I added my modified drawing for frame 0. @Mark, Joss Please let me know, if I should remove the attachement. FRAME-00.pdf
  4. Ah I remembered right. You did a full hull model. Really beautyful.
  5. I own the Proxxon DSH (an older model tha in their actual program) since a few years and I am very satisfied with the saw. John it looks like that the micromark is a copy of the Proxxon or vice versa
  6. Doris, I am allways fascinated what you are doing with paper and sculpy. Your molding skills are really good. I bookmarked the picture series as reference for the far future if i have to make the figurehead.
  7. Your wholes are now looking really nice, but you made a small mistake. You need two treenails for each plank on each frame or easier on each double frame. If you want to show some of the frames have also a look to the alignment. The right wholes are a little bit outside of the frames. If not don't worry, noone will see it later.
  8. Nice knee of the head. If I have to make such small pieces like the chock, I use a slightly bigger piece and cut only the first two or three sides to the correct size. On the other side I let allways enough material for safe working. After glueing together I cut the last sides to the correct size.
  9. Really nice section model. Did you not build a full hull model of this small vessel?
  10. Larry, I used a tape to mark the position of the treenails. I attached two pictures to show what I mean. The second picture shows all wholes for the treenails drilled. I used 0.9mm nails. today I would do the wholes for 0.5mm treenails. Perhaps the pictures help you.
  11. Paul, a ship of this era isn't really interesting for me. But I like your work and the soutions you choose to build your model. It's really interesting. Thanks for sharing.
  12. Egen, have you in the meantime tried to put the fore platform into the hull? I am very interested to see if it works as expected.
  13. Karl, your model is really a reference for me and perhaps for other model builders. The accuracy in every detail of your model is absolut extraordinary. I like sitting in front of my monitor and watch the deatils.
  14. Oh damn that looks really horrible. Sorry to hear that you will make a break before you restart your section model.
  15. Rusty, very nice joints. It's looking really good. You are building a lot of section models. The dark site of ship modelling is beautyful, isn't it?
  16. I followed your log on MSW 1.0 but now I am really surprised. I didn't realize that the scale of your model was 1/96. It's looking really good.
  17. Here's a link to their home page. I have the kit of the cog and must say it's really nice. I wrote a review of the kit for Modellmarine.de. Perhaps you get an impression of what you will get, if you buy a kit.
