JT here is a rough copy of such a fan someone posted on this site I think (sorry cannot recall who). These are the proportions by which to reduce square stock to get an octagon (the 10 is the meat that remains). Simply place the square stock on the fan so that the edges of the stock meet the outer edges of the '7' fan lines, then mark the wood with the other lines. The lines should be ruled with a straight edge back towards the centre to reflect the angle of taper rquired. For some yards, not direct to the centre but to the point of transition from straight octagonal to taperered round. These then give you the guide lines to which you reduce the square stock with plane, chisel, file or.... Note: the square stock should be reduced to the appropriate thickness before starting, such that the width of the meat [10] ends up wide enough, that after rounding, is the correct diameter of the round - this takes a little calculation. Always better to err on 'bigger' so that you can reduce; harder to add Once you have the round, even in taper, it is relatively easy to maintain it with further sanding. cheers Pat

Go on Mike; serve them. If you have taken the time and effort to get it historically correct so far, you might as well get the rigging right to? It's not that hard once you get your jig/server up and running . You will get much more satisfaction from the fact you know it is correct. cheers Pat -
Adapting what we have in accordance with our skills is the key Dave - I see a very nice capstan cheers Pat

A real gem Russ. The sails look good in place and while i am aware you think they look too heavy; they look pretty good in-situ. cheers Pat

CNC and Laser cutter in one - that seems an awfully useful machine Christi - great pick-up mate. I hope it lives up to its claims and you get good use out of it - it certainly looks promising. Does it require any specialised software? cheers Pat

Major milestone completed with the running rigging Dave, she is certainly looking great! cheers Pat

Not a good thing Mark - back to hand cutting for a while...or can HMS Visa find some room after Xmas spending? cheers Pat

They would be small at that scale OC; but to me the driver would be the quality of the kit part. If it holds definition and shows the correct detail, stay with it; otherwise... cheers Pat

Quite a bit of detail even in the funnels - this should make into one very nice model Greg. cheers Pat

Good to see this little lady again Rusty; I hope you are enjoying making sawdust again? cheers Pat

Hi Dave, I am sure you'll get the hang of it if you are used to AutoCAD. There are a few 'quirks' with the program I am still trying to get to grips with but I am coming from a "know nothing' background; your experience will help a lot. My biggest errors were not using 'blocks' so I have far too many entities, and using the wrong line tools ending up in far too many nodes. cheers Pat
-
Following instructions in a tutorial is one thing Dave; understanding the principles another Still, I have learned a lot from the exercise. cheers Pat
-
Nice work John, the blocks appear very nicely to scale. cheers Pat

That looks really good Dave; I might have to have a look at that myself. let me know when you get to the Yawl and Gig, as I have to do those yet - a set of dxf files for those would be useful if you don't mind sharing? cheers Pat
-
My, you have been busy Greg. That is looking good; quite the complex ship but I suppose it had to be with all that armament. cheers Pat

Hi folks, another update - Ron talked me into it I played around with some materials and the result is shown below - still a few minor errors to correct - but largely there. Next job - work out how to apply all of this to reflect the cannon and carriage design for the HMCSS Victoria. That part will not be so easy Mark - don't say I don't do as I am told - off to prepare for the hangover cheers Pat

Looks good OC, great work with the paintbrush to get such an even looking finish - I hope the missus didn't mind you 'borrowing' the hairdryer cheers Pat

Thanks for looking in Doc, Ron, Carl and Mark, and for the many likes. Ron, I will have a poke around the menus to see what I can do with materials. I am doing this following a Tutorial so I don't want to get too far ahead of myself. I am only a couple of hours (hangovers allowing) to starting that process but it can't do much harm 'exploring" - I hope cheers Pat

Well, a bit more practice and some progress with my TurboCAD 3D project. Here are a few basic renders of the progress I have made to date. Hopefully within a couple of weeks I'll be able to show a couple of advanced renders. Things will slow for the next few days as my younger boy is getting married this Saturday and I hope to send him on his honeymoon with a 'hangover' - I know, I'll be in trouble with the daughter-in-law cheers Pat
