Dan Vadas got a reaction from fatih79 in HMS Vulture 1776 by Dan Vadas - FINISHED - 1:48 scale - cross-section - from TFFM books September 21, 2016

Thanks Greg and John.

They're open to show the chain Greg. See pics below.

I'm half wondering whether I should paint the cuts red to show that they are indeed a cut-away (and the same with the cut-outs in the aft end of the well, also any future cut-aways). Thoughts anybody?

I've temporarily fitted the four chain pump tubes to make sure I have all the angles etc correct. They fit quite a bit better than the full model's tubes . :

The outer tubes needed a small cutout in the mast partner to get the distance between the tops correct. I didn't do this on the full model and had a few issues later on. TFFM doesn't specify this :

Thank you Druxey, George, Pat, Albert, Maury, Greg and Wes (welcome back) .

Pat, I'm taking far more time and effort in getting every small piece spot-on, as it's a lot more visible than in the full model. I'm also adding a bit more detail.

I've made up one of the Chain Pump Sprockets - the other one will be covered by the Cistern Hood and therefore invisible. The bars are silver-soldered into the PE wheels :

I've also made up three lengths of the Chain, again using pieces from the PE set. The longer one will fit over the sprocket at the top, and the two shorter lengths fit into two cut-outs I've made into the lower ends of the pump tubes :

Sweet work Danny! I note that my cross-sections seem to be somewhat better than the full version.Perhaps you've upped your game similarly as a result of completing your fully framed model.
Dan Vadas reacted to druxey in HMS Vulture 1776 by Dan Vadas - FINISHED - 1:48 scale - cross-section - from TFFM books February 14, 2016

The red paint on the cutaway makes it clear that it is, in fact, a cutaway. I think your idea of doing this a good one, Dan.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
