BANYAN reacted to Vegaskip in Ship paintings
Thank you John, you are very kind.
here is HM Trawler North Coates, if I remember right she was a castle class. A very successful design more than 150 built.

BANYAN reacted to russ in Captain Roy 1948 by russ - FINISHED - 1/48 scale - POB - Biloxi Lugger
Here is the dashboard assembly with narrower bead board. I think this looks better than the wider material. Still needs some trimming and fitting. I also think I will go with a smaller wheel.

BANYAN reacted to Beef Wellington in HMS Jason by Beef Wellington - Caldercraft - 1:64 - Artois-class frigate modified from HMS Diana 1794
Hi Pat, the issue doesn't impact the axles as they work just fine, it only impacts the width of the interior dimension between the carriage walls - the impact being the provided part for at the front of the carriage (no idea what its called) is then too small. If you look at the 3rd photo you can see how it is too small. No big issue to make my own when I get there. I'm just glad I saw it, because if I had mixed up all of the carriage walls, I would probably have mixed the different thicknesses and I think it would not have been noticeable until all of them were glued up. At least I can now ensure the sides match to minimize and discrepancies.

BANYAN reacted to Dan Vadas in Bismarck by Dan Vadas - FINISHED - GPM - 1:200 - CARD and PE
CDW - to be honest, I haven't really checked the "instructions" () for some time. As you stated it's just "best management practice" - it can't hurt, as long as you remember to allow for the extra thickness later on when cutting bulkheads for the upper decks .
Popeye - I actually laminated the decks weeks ago when I did the main deck sections. To make cutting through the extra thickness easier I first cut out and trimmed each deck section, glued it to the card, and then only had to cut through the extra card the 2nd time. Trying to cut through two layers plus glue can get rather difficult, as I found out on the main deck sections .
There's always a little bit of warpage as even Contact Cement will shrink a bit as it dries. It's easy enough to flex in the opposite direction to flatten it out again before gluing to framing etc.

Ditto, I have already gained so much from your Naiad books and this log; I look forward to my Christmas present (YA Vols 1 and 2) but, in particular, I am looking forward to the next volume on rigging.
cheers

Great techniques Ed. You have accomplished quite some detail with the parcelling and serving at such a scale - the result is excellent.

Hi Jason, could it be that if they are equal stacks (same dimensions separated) that one axle set is for the front the other for the rear? Nice simple assembly jig you have set up.
cheers

Thanks everyone for the very kind words and continued interest...not really much to report with only some ad-hoc shipyard activity, but a cautionary tale whilst its still fresh. Started to make up the gun carriages, all 28 of them :-( The axles took quite a bit of time to shape appropriately which I did with a file to rough shape and then turned in the lathe to fine tune. Cautious going is the name of the game, and of course some turned out not at well as I'd hoped but these should be able to be "hidden at the back".
The issue I encountered was that I didn't think to check the thickness of the Syren sheets the parts come from and assumed these would all be consistent. The prototype I had already built all seemed to go together nicely and to make life a little easier I built a simple jig to make alignment easier. By chance, I then noticed that there are some reasonably significant differences in dimension. If you look at the second picture where I stack those that look thicker against those that appear thinner the difference is apparent (both 11 in number). What this means is that to build the carriages to the same dimensions will need some parts to be custom made from spare stock as the laser cut part is too small. It appears by chance that the prototype was built using the 'thicker' variety.
