Some great progress Popeye - you need to take more Mondays off mate She is looking great and will make a great addition to your little fleet! cheers Pat -
what is the ideal modelling table?
BANYAN replied to AON's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Thanks Alan, I am looking forward t seeing the completed project. BTW - don't feel like Robinson Cruse in not foreseeing every step before assembly - "Guilty your honour" from this side too cheers Pat -
what is the ideal modelling table?
BANYAN replied to AON's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Great progress Alan, looks like this will be the 'ants pants' solution when finished. Do you intend to add drawers or tool holders etc also? cheers Pat BTW - love your signature tag -
I would assume that many of us would not have the ability to recognise/identify specific wood species etc unless they are vastly different in colour etc. For me at least. individual packaging by wood type/species etc is very helpful; by size is not that important to me unless separation into several packages saves on costs (unlikely ) cheers Pat

This is one of the most important issues for me as I do the final dimensioning myself. If I want to leave the planking natural it is important to me (others may have differing opinions of the type of finish they want to achieve) that the wood at least looks that it is has come from the same batch. cheers Pat

There may also be some affect from transport and packaging and then the storage conditions at the customers end? Keeping the wood at a specific humidity and then sending it in ordinary packaging, sometime for weeks of transport, and possibly to a place with a much greater (significant) difference in humidity and temperature may cause it 'shock' or change? I admit that I have no idea of the dynamics of wood etc but this begs the question of whether treating it with kid gloves would be better or worse for the final product? That is, if it has constantly been stored at a particular temp/humidity and it is then sent to a place where it may not be used for some time and where it might be stored in conditions that are much different (and may vary significantly) have some effect on the wood? In my very limited knowledge I would have assumed that as long as it has been well seasoned and is now stable it should produce a good result? If I then store it in different conditions to those in which it was milled (and previously stored) would that not influence its final dimensions? As long as the quality of the wood (grain, figure etc) is good and it does not warp, twist etc I would be happy. cheers Pat

Thanks - that helps cheers Pat

Now, the outcome of that discussion is something I would like to read and see implemented cheers Pat

Coming along nicely Alan. I think that when finished a condensed version of this log would make a great article for the database? cheers Pat -
A metric version of dimensions would help? cheers Pat
-
As long as it is a good finish - mirror perfect may be a waste as most surfaces will need final sanding by the modeller in most circumstances anyway? cheers Pat
-
I don't use the Hahn method - having a poll that does not include Not Applicable may skew the responses a little? cheers Pat
-
Varied strip lengths would be OK as long as they are long enough to do the job - I would not appreciate lengths that required me to make scarfs/joints etc where not actually needed, or I would end up with a lot of useless offcut lengths from the strip - useable lengths (sorry cannot quantify but dependent on the scale) - having a selection of lengths (user specifies) would resolve some of the scale issues and minimise the 'over ordering to meet a need' issue? cheers Pat

A great initiative mate cheers Pat

Welcome to the Endeavour build club Ollie - I am building the AL version only. Well, I used the kit for the basic hull and threw the rest out - the remainder is scratch based on Marquardt and other research. I wish I had replaced the timber for the hull also =, but it was a lesson learned In my battle station I used holly for the deck and it turned out very nice. For our club's build (HMCSS Victoria) we are using birch - I''' post a photo but it may be a bit late for you noting the speed you work at I have also bought some Vic Ash (Mountain ash is another name I think) to see how that goes in my Syren build. For the hull, I have used Kauri pine in the Victoria build and it is wonderful to work with - it is a great colour if you wish to leave the timber natural? Good luck mate; I'll follow closely. cheers Pat

Looks great Greg, that is a very nice treatment of the transom. cheers Pat

That's real nice work on your ratlines mate, especially as this is your first go! cheers Pat

Thanks for the regular updates Alan, an interesting project to watch. I am even contemplating updating my desk with a lift - great adjustment during the rigging phase especially. That is if my son doesn't come aknockin' cheers Pat -
HMB Endeavour 1768 3D Model
BANYAN replied to ODemuth's topic in CAD and 3D Modelling/Drafting Plans with Software
Thanks Oliver, thanks for the feedback. It is nice to look at you 3D model as it gives some interesting perspectives as to what it might have been on deck. this is sometimes more realistic in a 3D drawing rather than a model as it is more "subsmersive" and makes you much the same scale. cheers Pat -
She's lookin' great Ron, nice work. I'll have to drag up the duds as I think you'll catch me before I know it cheers Pat

Hi Ollie, great to hear you are enjoying the journey. Apart from you learning, logs such as yours are interesting to follow, not simply for the build what others can learn along the way also. Your log has helped me in the case of the ratlines (thanks John) as that was a tid-bit I wasn't aware of. keep pluggin' on mate, the build is looking great! cheers Pat

HMB Endeavour 1768 3D Model
BANYAN replied to ODemuth's topic in CAD and 3D Modelling/Drafting Plans with Software
hi - a name would be nice I am modelling Endeavour so I find you project fascinating. You have done a great job with her so far, especially with some of the textures and finishes. Looks great! One point you may wish to research a little more is the colour of her bottom. From the research I have conducted, I believe she had "brown stuff" and not the white lead payed bottom - just for consideration cheers Pat -
Thanks Moo, a good article. cheers Pat
-
Lookin' good John, she will make a very pretty little craft indeed. Odd about the frames knowing your penchant for accuracy; but, as you say it can be fixed later. cheers Pat
