Congrats for reaching this first milestone of your project. I think you have to be very proud about your model

AnobiumPunctatum reacted to YankeeD in De Zeven Provinciën 1665 by YankeeD - Scale 1:50 - according to drawings by Mr. O. Blom - First wooden scratch ship build
Ouch... November last year!! That's a long time since I posted.... Time moves fast if you are having fun, no?
Well Not much has happened, save another year passed. I finshed the work on the transom (thanks for the word Popeye!) and on the windows therein.
I had to do some restorations here and there, as during the passing of time the wood shrunk and some gaps appeared.
Its probably the winter season here which can be very dry (<20% humidity).
All in all I am quite happy but the BIG question is........ which next step????
Inside hull planking?
Fix and finish the transom? I do not want to finish and fix the transom as I rather like it when it still can be removed, but somewhere in time I will have to...
Maybe the first Wale?? after which I could do the lower outside hull planking up to the first gunports...
All choices to be made....

AnobiumPunctatum reacted to Jeronimo in THE 74-GUN SHIP by Jeronimo
Hello friends,
after about two years of construction I make a provisional building model on the "74 GUN-SHIP".
The occasion is the construction and testing of a completely different ship type.
See new topic in forum MSW.
(Sorry Google Translator)
Hallo Freunde,
nach ca. zweijähriger Bauzeit mache ich an dem Modell "74 GUN-SHIP" einen vorläufgen Baustop.
Der Anlass ist der Bau und "Versuch" eines ganz anderen Schiffstypes.
Siehe demnächst neue Topic bei MSW.
Gruss Karl

AnobiumPunctatum reacted to G.L. in HMS Triton cross section - FINISHED - by G.L. Scale 1:24
The deck clamps are in place and the last gaps in the planking are filled.

While the glue is drying I start to make the lower deck beams and the lower deck beam arms. On the fourth picture the deck beams are laid in the model but not yet fastened. Before I will do that, the lower deck has to be tree nailed.

AnobiumPunctatum reacted to guraus in Machine a curer les ports 1750 by guraus (Alexandru) - FINISHED - 1/36
Hello,
I started the year with a new project - since my Victory is "done". The project I choose is small utility vessel used in French ports to keep them clean and accessible based on a monograph by Gerard Delacroix. The model will be built as plank on frames with a side open.The plans are at 1/36 which will give a model about 50 cm long - so not too big.
It has no rigging and the hull shape is quite simple with a perfectly flat bottom. The hull itself will be relatively easy to build - which I like as I don't feel like embarking in huge projects for a while now (Victory took me 9 years). But there are challenges to this project too: the two wheels and the metal scoops.
Here are some pictures with the progress so far.
Regards,
Alexandru

AnobiumPunctatum reacted to Matrim in HBMS Amphion 1798 by Matrim - 32 Gun 18pdr Frigate
Just produced the Stem Plans. Not really certain of the best way to get the tapering on the plan so we'll have to see if this approach works or if it needs further adjustments..
I have enough to get started (and keep me busy a few months) so I might stop work on plans until my Bounty is out of the way and start when I start work on the build.
Then again....hmm have to consider the pros and cons.

I just wanted to post a quick update that METRIC sizes are now available for Swiss Pear and Boxwood sheets. The sheets are still 3" x 24" long (7.5 x 60.5 cm) and you can select your metric thickness to configure your price. I think you will be very pleased with our product and our prices. We will be updating our other woods with metric sizes very soon.
1mm thick - $11
1.5mm thick -$11
2mm thick -$12
3mm thick -$13
4mm thick -$15
5mm thick -$17
6mm thick -$18

A few more carlings have been installed and I worked on the steps for the capstans while glue dried.
The foreward (larger step) still needs to be trimmed. Both need another layer below fitting between the beams. A small challenge is to create a different sized block under the fore sides of the steps. They are parallel to the keel and perpendicular to the axles. The deck of course has an angle (different at both steps). There is a difference of about 1.5" on the fore and 3" on the aft.
Looks like the meshed gears will not be very visible. The aft capstan will hide it anyhow.

Details on the carlings: They are fit between the beams with a 45 + / - degree "flange".
The beam is marked with a jig (a 1/32" strip glued to another piece) It is held against the beam and a pencil line is drawn, indicating the extent of the 45 degree cut into the corner of the beam. You can see it resting on top of the beam:
One edge and the back of the notch can be seen. The other edge of the notch will be marked with a (# 11) blade while the carling is being held on the beam. The corner (edge) of the beams are then notched and the carling inserted. It usually take a couple of filing adjustments to get it to fit nicely.

AnobiumPunctatum reacted to Tigersteve in 18th Century Longboat by Tigersteve - FINISHED - Model Shipways
In the second round of installing the oarlocks, I used a straight edge to draw a line roughly in the center of the caprail in the locations where the oarlocks would be placed. I then used a small file to draw two equally spaced perpendicular lines. This method worked much better for me. Not perfect but I'm getting used to drilling these tiny holes!
Repainting the caprail was not fun. I wanted to see how Minwax Polycrylic(water based) satin would look over the paint job. I think it provided a little more sheen than the Minwax WOP. It certainly dries quicker and no time to buff to dull the shine. It's a little more shine than I want, but I think I may accept it, as the idea of painting it again is exhausting.
The rudder setup is just about done. The tiller has been shaped and stained. I will install on the next updates. I think I'll work on the oars next.

AnobiumPunctatum reacted to tlevine in HMS Atalanta 1775 by tlevine - FINISHED - 1:48 scale - from TFFM plans
Time for a bit of an update. The quarter deck framing is completed. There are several openings in the midline which need to be addressed. Most forward is the ladderway, followed by the upper capstan step. Behind that are three gratings panels. Each of the gratings is designed to be different in width, so they needed to be made individually, rather than making a long strip of grating and simply cutting off the length required.
This leaves a final opening in front of the mizzen mast. On the deck plan there is a dotted line within the outline of the hatch, suggesting that the was a structure inserted into the opening. The openings for the grating do not have the same dotted line; therefore the structure was not a grating. David states that it is possible there was a companion over this opening. On the plan view there is no structure visible above the hatch coaming. Below this opening is the salon...officer's country. I doubt they would have wanted to get wet or, even more so, have their conversations overheard. So a companion will be made for the opening.
Finally, there is a scuttle for the topmast tackle in front of and lateral to the ladderway opening.
