AnobiumPunctatum reacted to AON in HMS Bellerophon 1786 by AON – scale 1:64 – 74-gun 3rd Rate Man of War - Arrogant-Class
Good morning Mike
Yes it has been a long time, no one knows it better than me
I had a false start building a year ago but approached it wrong and I didn't like what I had done
I have had at least three starts at modelling, this last being a switch from SolidWorks to Inventor.
Besides having caught many errors, learned many things about the ship, I also learned about 3D modelling which has been quite valuable for work.
Although I do not draw at work anymore (I do not model) my co-workers do, and the mystery surrounding the process is gone.
I expect it will take me a few weeks to complete my templates and have two sets printed... then I start.
It takes time to clear your head and then the mistakes leap off the screen/sheet and they can be addressed
I've been going slower this last attempt at modeling and will be taking my time with the build.
This will be my first scratch build "ship" and I am learning so much.... including patience; not something that comes naturally to me
It is also the first time I've made my own templates
Many firsts happening here
It is as much about the journey as it will be the completion.

here is my work to date on the "pointy end" less the point!
.... and assembled to the first part done.

Modeling the bow was a lot more trouble for me than it should have been.... but it is done.
The hawse pieces will require filler pieces between them for the hawse holes (not shown).
I will now make the templates from H-AFT to forward of the Stem Head Frames.
Edit note:
The photos have been updated with the hawse pieces remodelled as discussed below.

AnobiumPunctatum reacted to Dan Vadas in HMS Vulture 1776 by Dan Vadas - FINISHED - 1:48 scale - cross-section - from TFFM books
Thank you George .
There's more .... I've cut out the recesses for the Chain Pumps and Elm Tree Pumps :
And also fitted the Keelson :
Lastly, I've made the Chain Pump Inlets using the pieces from the PE set supplied by Admiralty Models. These are probably the last of these available as the set has been discontinued and were graciously supplied by Greg Herbert from his own left-over supply. 0.5mm brass wire was used as the "bolts", and the assemblies blackened :

Belated thanks for the Xmas wishes Tom - I've been away visiting my family over the holiday and have just returned home now .
It seems like an age since I last updated my log (it's been over a month, but a lot of work had been done since then). My apologies for the slackness .
All the frames have been cut and assembled :
The frames have all been glued to the keel, and the Filler Pieces have been also fitted. Fairing the inside is shown here - first by using a drum sander on the Dremel to take off any large high areas. The rest was faired using a rounded cork sanding block :
As I hadn't used the mounting screws to hold the Rising Wood and the Keel together, they started to separate as I started gluing frames on, so I screwed the two pieces together through some of the frames for extra strength. The screws will be covered by the Keelson :
Next, the Ports were trimmed out and a long sanding stick was used to level the tops of the frames in readiness for the lower sills :
The port sills and Sweep Port sills after fitting :
And after Fairing :
The hull was then removed from the building board and placed on a piece of foam for the final external fairing :

Today I've finished the drawing work for the frames. 55 frames and 26 cant frames are a lot stuff, which I have to build now.
The following picture shows frame 10a for example.
Now I have to clean up my work room and prepare the building board. I hope I've nothing forgotten so that I can make sawdust and start the build of my model

The hull model is as complete as I need to go with her.
Now I finish my templates, and will finally be on my way with the build.
Why does the last 5% take 25% of the time?

AnobiumPunctatum reacted to EdT in Young America 1853 by EdT - FINISHED - extreme clipper
Merry Christmas to you as well, Tom - and to all the others who check in on this topic. I really appreciate your kind words and am very glad you find my posts helpful. Your comments and others like this make the effort of doing the posts - and the books for that matter - worthwhile. I also feel I have learned much from the methods described by others in their posts and would encourage more methods descriptions by all who post. Their is no "one way" or even a best way to do the various tasks we are all confronted with and all inputs of this type are valuable. Thanks again.
Happy New Year everyone.

Looks like you had a good start building your model after the long period of planning - it's exactly the same stage I am in the moment.
I wish you a lot of patience and success for your build.

AnobiumPunctatum got a reaction from Fam in Le Colibri 1808 by Fam - scale 1:48 - POB French brick de 24
The coppered hull looks fantastic. I like especially that you don't coppered the false keel, what was common for this time
