AnobiumPunctatum got a reaction from druxey in HMS Triton 1771 by AnobiumPunctatum - scale 1/48
Thank's very much. Let's answer your questions:
In the moment, this is my plan but I don't know if I will change this with more experience in frame building. The advantage of the method are the different levels, which make the build much easier.
By the testframe I did not have any problems, to get the frame out. I don't need much glue during the build. You can also use a colophane foil or a thin layer of clear varnish to avoid problems.
Yes, I got one last year. The idea is a first result of my learning curve. I have a lot of other ideas, but for these I have to learn 3D construction. All my drawings are in the moment in 2D and for Triton I will not change this.

AnobiumPunctatum got a reaction from GrandpaPhil in HMS Triton 1771 by AnobiumPunctatum - scale 1/48
The last two years I needed my workshop as homeoffice. I started building Cheerful at the dining table, but this was also not a good idea. Now I am back in my office which gives me the possibility to use my workshop as shipyard again.
To practice I build a test frame from an old piece of wood.
Instead of a paper base, I milled a template from plywood, which already takes into account the different thicknesses of the futtocks.
On this template, the futtocks were first glued together and then the chocks were added.
Finally a photo of the finished test-frame.
Now I can start with the serial production.

AnobiumPunctatum reacted to Seventynet in The Hayling Hoy 1760 by Seventynet - FINISHED - 1:48 scale - First fully framed model
And here is where I am at the moment. I have used pear to contrast with the Castello Boxwood and holly for the decking. I am not sure I'll use holly for the starboard exterior planking but will likely start with that and see how it is to work with for hull planking.
I am not clear on how to lay the forward ends of the planks onto the breast hook because obviously there is downward angle as it approaches the stem that will not allow one to achieve a flush situation. I am going to fashion some kind of angled piece that the planks can lie on. No big deal, it is likely just a typical thing a scratch builder has to deal with.
Cheers, Ian

At present, we have cut off the keel slots for these lions, which is more convenient for installation
I can replace one for you free. You can contact me at any time

AnobiumPunctatum reacted to Chuck in HMS Winchelsea - FINISHED - 1764 - by Chuck (1/4" scale)
Managed to complete four of the qdeck six pounders. Four more to go. I will probably get that done this coming week so I can get started on chapter 11. These guns and their carriages are built just like the ones for the gun deck. The split rings were made using a 45 drill bit this time. You can also see the eyebolts and such on the inboard side of the qdeck rail. All made with 24 gauge black wire once again.
If you are going to rig these I would use .045 tan for the breech line and .018 for the tackles. I would also use 1/8" single blocks for the tackles. I managed to knock loose one of the mizzen bitts while drilling the holes for the eyebolts on the rail. I keep forgetting to fix that. You can see that it is slightly askew in the photos. Its tricky getting in there to drill the holes...so be careful of your sleeves!! Try also not to drill all the way through the rail. Only go enough to insert the short ends of the eye bolts.
The 1 9/16" resin cannon and carriages are also now available. You will need two packages of each.

Wonderful progress. It's really nice to see, that people give this old group project a try or continue their build.
