Really nice frameing job, Maury

Egen, it looks fantastic. It seems that your fore platform fits perfect. I think I will copy the idea.

Very nice klinker planking, well done.

Hi Alexandru,

I am happy that you continue your fantastic log. You build a very nice and special model of this famous ship.

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.

Perhaps someone can verify this with another source.

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.

Ah I remembered right. You did a full hull model. Really beautyful.

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

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.

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.

She is really beautyful. Thanks for reposting.

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.

Really nice section model. Did you not build a full hull model of this small vessel?

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.

I've totally overseen the picture of your section

Really nice, Mark.

Very nice work.

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.

Wow, I did not thought, that this is possible in 1/48. Absolut incredible.

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.

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.

Oh damn that looks really horrible. Sorry to hear that you will make a break before you restart your section model.

Maury,

nice frameing. I am happy that you reposted your log.

Thanks Dan for creating this thread. It's bookmarked.

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?   

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.
