Few sanding days for my LR.... lots of dust so I had to find a better place (more ventilation) than my current workbench to safely remove wood... Slow progress, discovered few mistakes I will need to take care of but overall decent progress so far... but it is soooo slow.... and need to sty focused.. Testing planking on hull' external.. Question for you guys... on plan #5, 6 hawse timbers were presented, but only 5 were numbered.. Practicum mentioned work on #1 then down the text mentioned that bigger timber (#1, not marked as #1 on plan) was used.. On picture bellow it appears that smaller #1 was in use: So, which one we need to use: bigger, not numbered #1 or smaller, numbered #1? Also, when it comes to planking, are you guys doing double planking for external hull?

A little bit of a progress, two more frames to go... Happy modelling..
-
If you are already in 2025, wishing you a best of luck, good health and prosperous New Year... and of course, lots of newly built models.. Happy modelling in 2025 to all...
-
Correct, with jig, this is just for picture taking, to show progress a bit clearly.. Regards,

I few more frames added... Happy modelling..
-
Once frame is roughly shaped/sanded, pilling off template was very easy with a little help of a water to soften the glue... Rising wood filling piece was also made and installed on the keel.. Does not quite fit properly so replacement will be made but the main concept is the same.. Floor timber chocks also assembled... Frame assembly progress.... hardly waiting for a final sanding to give it a nice shape... Main supervisor arrived after spending Christmas break... Happy modelling..
-
Rising wood filing pieces were made out of one long part, groove cut to the appropriate depth on Proxxon saw and 6.8mm length was cut on slicer. First pair of frames were put in place.. with rising wood filler piece in between. Happy modelling..
-
A little bit of a progress ... Created (updated) building board a bit, decided to use double-tape to hold the keel in place; so far works ok.. Lego parts were returned to the original owner after huge fight and lots off tears and replaced with regular wood scrap... same idea here as well, few layer of double tape to hold the keel .. Stern solid filling timber was giving me some hard time and after two failed attempts and following practicum steps, I managed to get it correct with some extra wood for further, final shaping.. \ \ Happy modelling..
-
Getting there, few more frames to be built and then funny part of careful sanding and mounting on the keel will begin... With some failed attempts for whatever reason, think I have enough parts to make a LR cross section 😁 Happy modelling..
-
Yeah, thanks.. it is taking quite some time to have all parts lining up correctly for fashion piece... Not sure I will be able to achieve your "contact" level but will try my best.. these are really small parts and with big fingers it is fairly hard to keep them in hands while carving, without use of bandages 🙂 at the end..
-
Sanding, sanding, sanding and more sanding.... nothing interesting to report... still working on frames... final sanding to come.. To break a routine, and to keep this build interested (and not to jump on Xebec' kit), started to work on fashion pieces.... They are attached to the ship but with some final sanding done in a later stages... Then I started to work on stern solid filling timber... made out of three pieces.. This piece requires lots of carving so proper position of a template on the wood is crucial for easy carving and good results. OK, now, time for few more frames.. Happy modelling.

As per practicum, frames from 5 - 24 are built; #7 is in drying process at this moment... Just curious to put them on... they are not fixed yet to the keel, nor adjusted so some of them are a bit out of line.. Next is a nice amount of sanding... then rest of the frames... Happy modelling..

OK, parts are cut from the board and ready for raw sanding.. Sanding is done, now correct thickness was achieved buy running each piece thru mini table saw.. There is always a lots of leftovers, that can be reused somewhere on scratch build project.. And saw dust as well.. looks like chocolate.. Parts are ready for assembly.. Happy modelling..
-
Frame build work continues... Testing frame #16.. It fits perfectly but the middle line on a template does not align with a keel, not to worry, this is additional template (for sanding) I put on but will replace it with correct one. This one does not fit the frames, moved to the right 2mm approximately... Pile of frames keeps pilling up... Some parts needed to be redone; some are gone missing somewhere, or stolen by my cat, or will just be located when I start cleaning up my hobby room; anyhow, usage of old parts is there.. Shhh, don't tell anyone, some of frames will be "simulating" edges, like we do for deck planking, simulating planks, out of one long plank... I would call it "using different techniques for frame build"... Did not follow the gran on purpose for those one, just want to see how this works.. if does not work, will re-do correctly.. Happy modelling..
