AnobiumPunctatum got a reaction from Bobstrake in Beavers Prize 1777 by Mike Y - 1:48 - POF - Hahn style
I use normally veneer for treenails, if I need a diameter smaller 0.7mm. For pear I uss pear treenails.
I cut small square strips. Then I draw them 3-4 times through the draw plate. They are not perfectly round, but I can hammering them in the whole. After this the are round.

Why do you apologize?
The styrene kits are some times better than wooden kits. It's not the material, it#s the model builder who makes the model.
I'll follow your log with great interest

AnobiumPunctatum reacted to yamsterman in WASHINGTON GALLEY by yamsterman - 1/48 scale - POF
hi all
time for another update. been busy installing gun port sills and stern framing,
starboard side stern framing had to come out as I made a boo boo with a couple of measurements.
port side is ok.
made up a clamp to act as a saw guide for cutting out the sill rebates.....just a couple of pieces of 1/16 x 1/4 brass with tapped holes on one piece and clearance holes on the other for 3/4 inch 8ba bolts......I used an 8ba box spanner to tighten the nuts.....the silver tube in the photos.
just one more set of sills to go before I start on the lintels and finish the stern framing......then the sweep ports to fit.....and on to fairing the internals before fitting the keelson pieces.
photos enclosed as per usual.
all comments and screams of approbation welcome.
cheers for now.......mick

AnobiumPunctatum got a reaction from mikeaidanh in To help kit developers and kit builders alike-What would you like to see developed for the hobby.
The type of ship doesn't really matter. I prefer ships between 1750 and 1785. A ketch rigged sloop in a larger scale (1/48; 1/32), perhaps a bomb vessel, but historically accurate. There are more than enough fantasy and bad designed kits in the market
What I think is really necessary: a new or very old way of commercialisation of kits.
I think it is a good idea to offer a kit in different parts. Most of us like good quality wood (box, pear, ...) but this is very expensive and in my opinion not a good option for a kit as it will offered today. The kit will become expensive and less costumer will buy it.
So my idea is to offer the kit in three, perhaps five parts
-Part 1: bulkheads and drawings
-Part 2: wood for building the hull (perhaps in two different qualities: lower quality basswood; higher quality: pear)
-Part 3: fittings (Chucks way with laercut parts is a really good way)
-Part 4: Mast and spars (perhaps also i two qualities); blocks and so on
-Part 5: Rigging Material
The modeller can choose the qualities and don't need to buy every part in one time. The problem is, that the company needs a bigger store.

AnobiumPunctatum reacted to AON in HMS Bellerophon 1786 by AON – scale 1:64 – 74-gun 3rd Rate Man of War - Arrogant-Class
Worked on the aft frame steps in the deadwood and stern post.
Finished one side with an error realised at the end... I went too high up on the stern post.
(I thought I was being so careful)
Now I must sleep on how to fix it... I have a couple ideas in mind.
