  1. It's an old interpretation of an carrack, perhaps the "Great Harry" or another ship of the fleet of king Henry.
  2. Toni, thanks very much for redoing your log. It's a big help for my own build.
  3. Dan, thanks a lot for the whole work of rebuilding your beautyful log. Thanks for the lot of work you've done. One of my primary sources is back and I can look how you did things. Thanks very much
  4. If you have time, make a trip to the Intermodellbau in Dortmund. I played two years ago with the lathe. It's a fine tool but in my opinion to small for building models in scale 1/48. I decided to go with a proxxon wood turning lathe. For metal parts like canons I ask a friend to do this.
  5. Nice workplace. or should I better say: Nice shipyard.
  6. Ron, I like the toothpik which has nearly the same cilor as your frames. After finishing the hull they will be light darker then the planking. For my HMS Fly I use Pear for the frameing and also pear for all treenails in this part of the build
  7. Egen, it looks fantastic. It seems that your fore platform fits perfect. I think I will copy the idea.
  8. Hi Alexandru, I am happy that you continue your fantastic log. You build a very nice and special model of this famous ship.
  9. 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.
  10. 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
  11. Ah I remembered right. You did a full hull model. Really beautyful.
  12. 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
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. She is really beautyful. Thanks for reposting.
  16. 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.
  17. Really nice section model. Did you not build a full hull model of this small vessel?
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. Wow, I did not thought, that this is possible in 1/48. Absolut incredible.
  21. 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.
