AnobiumPunctatum reacted to jose_b in Le François 1683 by jose_b - Scale 1:48
An small advance but many hours of work:
Some inner planking. The thick-stuff of the hold formed by three strakes of planking, the first Deck-clamps and the lowest breasthook by now. Uff, more than 2100 nails later...

A small progress: keelson formed by three parts, with ebony nails.

All frames are glued together and on the keel. Now, a hard and long work of sanding.

Inspired by Johann's longboat for La Créole (archjofo) I'm trying to build this one for Le François.
These are the first steps. There's a long way to go.

Thanks Nils.

I fixed the decoration in place. Now I just try to polish it a bit 'and pass a coat of clear varnish

AnobiumPunctatum got a reaction from Eddie in Triton cross section by Anguirel -1:48
Anguriel,
I checked the values. They are correct. I've had a look to my drawing project. At cutters the first futtock is also wider than the floor timber.
As far as I remember the position of the gun ports of the group build matchs the original drawing.

AnobiumPunctatum reacted to muzzleloader in Dom Fernando II e Gloria by muzzleloader - 1:50 - cross-section
The first section deck beams installed. I found it easier to install them a piece at a time so that the stuff under them can be fitted. I then started on the anchor chain locker (paiol da amarra). The little guy came from Cornwall Models they are from Amati. They are the only place I could find that had 1:50 scale sailors. They are the 35mm size. It makes them about 5'6" or 1.75m. This ship has a LOT of head room.
The first section of deck beams.
The aft wall of the chain locker being installed.
The locker almost done. I will wait until I get the chain before finishing the forward wall.
All done until the chain gets here.
Thanks for watching.

It's been a while. Just spent a week visiting family on N.C. and two weeks visiting in Portugal.
All I've done is shape the lower end of the mast and install the lower deck mast support.
The lower deck mast support
The mast fitted. I will have to enlarge the whole in order to fit wedges.
The mast is a 3/4 inch pine dowel. 27 1/2 inches tall. This thing is larger than I expected.

AnobiumPunctatum reacted to Remcohe in HMS Kingfisher 1770 by Remcohe - 1/48 - English 14-Gun Sloop - POF
Thanks all for the warm welcome back!
So here's some progress. The forward strokes of the spriketting are done. Two layers of wood are used, they are now thin enough to bend by hand and set them in place to do the final shaping to match the waterway. They are done anchor stock style, so not having to do wet/warm bending them is a big plus.
The first layer is intentionally done a bit wider and cut to size after the second layer is fixed (the surplus is seen in the second pic)
Getting to fay the planks into the waterway called for some additional sanding and shaping to get a clean transition.
The quick work will be thinner and can probably be done with a single layer of planking.

No problem, here are the values for the regular frames from Elements of Naval Architecture (Steel):

1st futtock: 13''
2nd futtock: 11''
3rd futtock: 10 1/2''
4th futtock: 10 1/4''
top timber: 10''

Aguriel,
if you have Antscherls TFFM have a look in volume 1, page 88. There is a description for the correct position of the treenails in the chocks.
To your observations and questions:
correct correct correct Yes, only the floor timbers and first futtocks are glued together. The timbers for the other frames are thinner and there the double frames will be connected with spacers. B and D are single frames. The change of double and single frames is common for English ships of this period. Frame 0: floor timber 1ft 4in, second futtock 1ft 3in, fourth futtock 1ft 1in; Frame 1 and (A): first futtock 1ft 4in, third futtock 1ft, 2in, top timber 1ft 1in That's a question of what you want. In the group build all timbers ofthe frames have the same size. In the original ship the timbers will become thinner. In my opinion and if this is your first try I would follow this simplification. If you like to know the correct sizes I will have a look in my book. Yes, there are the spacers. If you follow the dimensions in the books the top timbers are 1/4in smaller. I think that this is negligible in 1/48. The position of the gun ports gives the position of the frames The sizes of the timbers and the tolerances define the space. I would start to build the double frames and position them correct. Then I would add the filling frames (single frames) regular between them. See answer 6 -

Hi
Christian, thanks for the info. I think it's too late to go with simplification... if it's not too much trouble for you can you send me the correct sizes?

AnobiumPunctatum reacted to Mike Y in Beavers Prize 1777 by Mike Y - 1:48 - POF - Hahn style
Semi-offtopic. Finished the jewelry box, the build log is here if somebody is interested: http://imgur.com/a/7fNCc
That was an interesting practice, took longer than expected. Totally new skill of turning a non-square non-flat warped piece of wood and making it square, flat and parallel on all sides. Jointing and planing, something not frequently used in the ship modelling!
Also, my standard way of "cutting an oversized part and sanding it to shape later on" does not work on that scale, so there were much more careful calculations and cutting to final dimensions from the first attempt. Well, maybe shaving 0.5mm from some risky pieces with the block plane..
First time I used OSMO Polyx (http://www.osmouk.com/sitechapter.cfm?chapter=82&page=247) as a wood finish. It is surprisingly good - dries fast, easy to apply, the end result is really strong. Will test it on a small scale, might be a good finish for the model. Anybody has an experience with OSMO as a ship modelling finish?

Happy new year every one:)
I also wanted to show the my progress of H.M.S.Triton .
For me it all happens slowly. But not going to give up.
When all the parts were cut. Glued it together I had no problems.
Once the frame had glued together. Cut out recess for Kell and Kellson
With file mace good frames straight part and recess for Kell.
With Drum sander sanding inside the frames.
At the moment that's all. I started working at the tree nails for frames.
But I wanted to ask. Are there any direct information about that?
In looking at the work of others. It seems that everyone is doing it differently.
P.S.
Sorry for my English. Because I do so just learning, as ship modeling
