The keel is laid down.
The picture shows the current version compared with the old keel in 1/48.
Due to the larger scale it is much easier to display small details such as the treenails to scale correctly.
The next steps in the construction of the complete keel arrangement are the same as described in my old build log. I will only change some smaller details.

I think Chuck's idea to sell parts for a ahip model as he does with his cutter Cheerful is an excellent idea.
You can buy the drawings and perhaps the bulkheads, choose the timber for the planking job and buy then the smaller parts if you like. I hope that other manufacturers will copy his idea (if he don't has the Copyright for this )
There are a lot of talent modelers who don't have an own workroom or the money to buy the machines. For these kits especially on Chucks way are the only possibility to take up the hobby.

Erik, I'll follow your log with great interest. If I see you longboat, I am qiute sure that you'l build an excellent model. Chucks drawings compared with the originals from the NMM are outstanding

Ok, Getting started on Triton cross section. My first scratch build. Just cut out the keel, false keel, and keelson.
actually cut out two sets.
Second is for testing purposes. Next step is to sand and affix the keel and false keel then wait for more plans!

Thanks you for all the likes and comments so far! Finally got around to completing the lower deck today, ready to move on to making the lower deck spirketting and gun deck clamps. I decided to attempt to take some nicer photos (more in focus), most of the photos posted before where taken with a cell phone.
Thanks,
Tony

Just got back from traveling over the holidays and I have found some time to start on the decking. I decided to use a pencil, an art pencil "EBONY jet black extra smooth", for simulated caulking. The first picture shows the waterways which I have clamped down after steaming.
Thanks,
Tony

I have completed most of the lower deck and installed it last night. Next I will be working on making the hanging knees and the hatchway / grating.
I have also milled all the planking for the lower deck using maple. I will be looking for some ideas on deck caulking, I would like to try black or dark brown construction paper but am open to suggestions.
Thanks for all the likes and comments so far,
Tony

Mark, thanks for the good words, just hope it all works out
Just a little more progress, started on the lodgeing knees
Slowly but surely getting there

AnobiumPunctatum reacted to rafine in Cutter Cheerful 1806 by rafine - FINISHED
I've now completed the next segment of the interior detailing. This included four more guns, the pumps, the entry ladders, four deck ringbolts and the interior scupper openings.
The guns were made and rigged as on the previous guns.
The pumps were made from boxwood strip. Square pieces were drilled out and then shaped to octagon with sanding sticks. The handles and their mounting brackets were shaped from strip and pieces of wire added. The bands are black painted paper. The drains are bits of black painted tube, inserted in drilled holes.
The ladders are boxwood strip. They were very simply made, without use of slotting tools or fancy jigs. As a result, they are certainly not perfect, but after a couple of tries, I was satisfied.
The scupper openings are drilled holes, which do not go through to the exterior openings, but match up closely with them. They were painted graphite with a toothpick.
The ringbolts again are blackened brass.

Since I hate doing repetitive tasks, I tend to break them down into segments. Thus, rather than doing all of the guns at once, I'm moving along the deck doing the detailing for each segment. Starting at the stern my first segment involved the first four guns, some bulwark cleats and some deck ringbolts.
The guns were made up using Chuck's carriage kits and brass barrels, to which I added the necessary eyebolts and ringbolts, made from brass wire and blackened. The quoins were made from blackened brass belaying pins. The cap squares are paper. I chose to leave the carriages natural wood with a poly finish. After assembly, the guns were installed and rigged with breeching lines and tackles (those blocks are very small and hard to handle for arthritic fingers ) . Lastly, I made up rope coils and glued them in place.
The next segment will include the next four guns, the pumps and the entry ladders.

Excellent work Ed! I'm learning new techniques each time you post some machining work. In the last photo, did you use the jaws of the drill chuck to align the two pieces, or was there an appropriate sized rod held in the drill chuck?

The building board for my model is finished. I use a design really similiar to that what Ed has shown in chapter 4 of his HMS Naiad build log.
For my building board I used 12mm birch plywood. The base board has a size of 120 x 50 cm. For the supporting bars I've chosen a height of 10 cm.
On the baseboard I screwed 4 boards from 6mm birch plywood to fix two aluminum rails because I don't have a mill to cut the gap for these. For the centerline I inked one longitudinal edge of the middle plates with black acrylic paint. After brushing the surface with white acrylic paint the center line was made visible with a scalpel blade that was dragged along the edge.
