The transmission took a LOT of work - 3 days worth :
Fitted to the fuselage :
I've also fitted the inner wall to the rear cabin :

A Mini-Tutorial for those who came in late - How To Cut Circles. I made four of these from double-thickness. The pics should be self-explanatory, except to say that I used a "chopping" motion with the scalpel rather than dragging the blade :

With the pilot's and gunner's cabins completed (for now) work moves to the rear compartment. I "glazed" the windows with some frosted plastic cut from laminating plastic, which is 0.07mm (70 microns) thick :
Both the interior side walls are completed first :
The left wall has the door cut out to display the interior :
One of the bench seats. I used a jig to hold it for easier construction :
Next the rear wall and ceiling needed to be made and attached before I could fit the seats :
Finally, I started the upper framing :

Thank you all .
The start of the build is the cabin. The laser-cut parts are perfect, much better than I could cut by hand in 0.5mm and 1.0mm card. Here is the main framing :
Two of the instrument panels. These have some very small parts. The gauge panel is laminated in 3 parts - the gauges, a very thin piece of clear acrylic from a cigarette packet, and the fascia which has been punched for the gauges :
The axe and fire extinguisher took me half a day to make :
The panels fitted to the cabin :

Dan Vadas reacted to Mr. Hornblower in HM Cutter Alert 1777 by Mr. Hornblower - Scale 1/90 - CARD
Good morning Gentlemen,
Well, for those of you who may not have read my previous thread (below), this is my first attempt at a scratch-build, using Goodwin's (extremely helpful) guide for the Cutter Alert of 1777.
I have drawn out each individual scantling/rib (whatever you may call it) on paper, then card, using the plans illustrated in Goodwin's guide. If using the traditional method of paper/pencil, be sure to have a waste paper basket nearby I watched a video of a card build of the Alert (this one manufactured by Shipyard models), just to see the method of construction and how to go about it. Each scantling was then glued to the main section using PVA.
So, as you gentlemen see below, I have now begun this wild project and so far, I am quite pleased with it.
I look forward to hearing any advice you chaps may have for me.
Cheerio,
Caleb

Hello!
I became the owner of a new KIT for the assembly of galleys from the Russian manufacturer. I know that I will be the first blogger to tell about this model.
I hope you will find this interesting and you can ask questions to me or the manufacturer, I think they will be interested in this.
The Kit is good because of the large scale 1:48 and quality of the laser cut from wood.(pear)
The instruction is only in Russian now, but there are beautiful pictures.

Dan Vadas reacted to garyshipwright in HMS Montague 1779 bygaryshipwright - 74-gun Alfred-class
Hello Every one. I finally went back to work on Montagu after a long break due to work and a few health issues. I was building some plastic models but nothing like building and working on Montagu. Also have done some changes to the work shop and do believe that I finally have the ship yard just the way I like it. Other then a few larger tools and a new drafting board hung from the ceiling not much more to do but get to work on Montagu. I did finally get around to making my hobby bench and not only was it a joy to build but is even more enjoyable to work on. Hope you enjoy the photos of Montagu. Also added a gantry to the building board that was taken from Eds idealy and book. should come in real handy. For the last couple of days I have been working on the port side channel wale. At first I did it in pear but didn't like the color of it against the frames and changed it to boxwood and looks a whole lot better. If you have any question's let me know, and glad to be back. Gary

Dan Vadas reacted to Jim Lad in Meteor 1851 by Jim Lad - Scale 1:96 - Immigrant Ship
Another small update. Some of my time at the museum lately has been taken up with things other than modelling, but I've been continuing to work slowly on the internal cleaning up of the hull. In the photo below you can see that the starboard side has had a lot of work done on it, but the port side is still awaiting attention. She'll get there eventually!
