  1. That looks like a very promising start to your build. Have a lot of fun.
  2. For her career you can also look in Winfield:"British Warships in the Age of Sail 1714 - 1792)" The first three ships of the class were HMS Mermaid, HMS Hussar und HMS Solebay after a design of Th. Slade from the early 1760th. After a redesign of the lower hull there were built three other vessels of the class: HMS Greyhound, HMS Triton und HMS Boreas in the early 1770ths.
  3. It's an old interpretation of an carrack, perhaps the "Great Harry" or another ship of the fleet of king Henry.
  4. Toni, thanks very much for redoing your log. It's a big help for my own build.
  5. 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
  6. 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.
  7. Nice workplace. or should I better say: Nice shipyard.
  8. 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
  9. Egen, it looks fantastic. It seems that your fore platform fits perfect. I think I will copy the idea.
  10. Hi Alexandru, I am happy that you continue your fantastic log. You build a very nice and special model of this famous ship.
  11. 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.
  12. 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
  13. Ah I remembered right. You did a full hull model. Really beautyful.
  14. 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
