Michael. Great idea. We do have a Zoom meeting with the NRG set up for next month to discuss how to get the word out to more folks so your post timing is spot on. Thanks!! -
Hi John, Your plank strakes are really nice and tight against each other, well done. I really have no good solutions for this common problem and I realize kit builders are looking to make a profit, but I believe if they stopped using unrealistic open grain/porous wood and supply the kit with a closer grain material and a bit thicker than 1mm they would get more business. I understand some of the newer kits from other manufacturers have made big improvements. Thankfully your "oops" is in area to be painted.

Jezza, First, welcome to MSW, glad to see another new member!! Are speaking of cleats or blocks? Wooden cleats usually did not a hole. Metal cleats often have an opening between the legs but the line does not go through this opening if secured properly. Which cleat of the below do yours look like? Sorry for the size disparity, I just grabbed these off a Google search for wooden and metal cleats.

Kevin, I was in touch with Dafi and I am sure he will respond. I am now a proud member of the German Group!!!! 😀 He has been very kind to guide me to get the word out to their membership!!

Kevin, He joined MSW earlier this week and wrote a long post. See the string "New podcast/tv series about Nelson and Maritime Britain during the Trafalgar period." here in the Nautical/Naval History section. It is just below the original post started by Noel Colledge Thanks for signing up!!

Thank you Mitsuaki, I hope you signed up to the program. Adam has the backing and funding once the company picks it up, be it Netflix or some other. He just needs us to get signed up to show the producers there is an audience for their investment. If there are any ship model organizations in Japan I hope you will post this information. I just signed up to a site in Germany at the suggestion of another member here at MSW and will be posting the information there as well. Thanks again!!!

Thanks Piet!! I wonder if 3D in Turbocad would work as well?? I have NO experience with 3D so maybe time to learn. Thanks again!

Hi Mitsuaki Your build and photos of the details are inspiring!! As you no doubt are aware of the history of Bellephoron and her participation at Trafalgar, I think you and your build log followers would be interested in the TV series under development regarding Nelson and Trafalgar. Please be sure to take a look at the posts in the Nautical/Naval History section here at MSW and check out New podcast/tv series about Nelson and Maritime Britain during the Trafalgar period. You will be able read all about the proposed series, including a post from the screenwriter heading this project, Adam Preston who has recently joined MSW. Thank you!

Hi John, As you are no doubt aware of the history of Pickle, including the fact that she was the first ship to bring the news of Nelson's victory at Trafalgar to Great Britain, arriving at Falmouth on 4 November, I thought you and your build log followers would be interested in the TV series being written by screenwriter Adam Preston. If so, please see the Trafalgar post in the Nautical/Naval History section here at MSW titled TV series about Nelson and Maritime Britain during the Trafalgar period. The various posts, including the post from Adam explain in detail. Thanks!!

Internal stuff
allanyed replied to Don Case's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
Thanks Don, but I do not see any of the items you asked about earlier against the frames. This figure confirms the earlier post that only the deck hooks (and ekeing, which is actually an extension of the deck hook,) fay to the framing. The breast hook in the sketch does not. The steps, riders, and crutches fay to the thick stuff and ceiling just as the breast hooks do. -

Hi Don! Are these drawings contemporary?. I would love to see these if you would be so kind as to post them. VERY interesting. TIA!! -
Flags supplied by Amati look to be too big
allanyed replied to DaveBaxt's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
If you have any kind of CAD program, including Paint which is standard on many computers, you can prepare your own and print on paper or better yet, silk span. Tape the span to a sheet of regular printing paper. Alignment takes some time as you choose to print on both sides, or you can print mirror images and fold over on itself once printed. Once the ink is dry, (takes a little longer on silk span than regular paper) wet the flag with matte medium and it can be shaped to drape naturally. If you wind up with cloth sails, the matte medium is still a good way to go to shape the flag in a natural position.

Piet, What drawing format did you use? I have never done 3D drawings but have drawings in three views in 2D. Would that work? Thanks

Internal stuff
allanyed replied to Don Case's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
Don, Take a look at some internal planking expansion drawings and you will see no gaps in the internal planking for breast hooks, crutches, riders or steps, but rather the butt pattern to be followed in laying the planking. Each plank should be about 25 feet long. This includes the limber strakes, thick stuff over the futtock heads and ceiling/sealing. Also be aware that the butts of the external planking are offset from those of the internal planking to maintain as much longitudinal strength as possible. Check out the well known drawing of The Ship of War of the First Rate. You can purchase a high res copy from NMM if you cannot make out the details on their website https://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/152570.html Note that the deck hook lies against the framing, not against the planking which may be an aberration in this case. -
Hi Dan, She is gorgeous. Sorry to jump in on this build, but as you're are a fan of Victory, and as you have so many followers I hope you don't mind a little hijack to get the word out on Nelson and the Trafalgar TV series that is in the works. Lots to be told about it, but easiest is to check out the screenwriter's post here at MSW in the Nautical and Naval history section under New podcast/tv series about Nelson and Maritime Britain during the Trafalgar period. Anyone interested in Victory or any of Nelson's history should find this project fascinating. Thanks

Thanks for posting this Jim!!

Well done. As a fan of Aggie, I think you may be interested to know that there is a project in the works to produce a television series about Nelson and Trafalgar in which of course Agamemnon took part. The writer, Adam Preston, is working on getting folks to sign on to show the TV studios he works with that there is significant interest in seeing this project come to fruition. I hope you don't mind that I am posting this here.. Please take a look at the New Podcast/TV series about Nelson and Maritime Britain during the Trafalgar Period post in the Nautical/Naval History forum here at MSW and sign on board. I believe that the vast majority of the members here would love to see this series happen, especially students of any of Nelson's ships such as Agamemnon.

The writer, Adam Preston, is working on getting folks to sign on to show the TV studios he works with that there is significant interest in seeing this project come to fruition. I hope you don't mind that I am posting this here as Victory is an obvious part of this project.

VERY WELL said David!!!!

Thanks Martes for your very kind offer. Right now we are working on getting as many people to sign up to the site as possible which is what the TV movie producers have asked of Adam. This will be a high tech, high end production by whichever television/movie production company picks it up should it get moving. Please feel free to PM me if you would like to discuss further. There is more information that will be posted here very soon. Thanks again!

Hi Jonathan, I believe there are at least two or three members here at MSW in addition to Chris that have designed kits that are now on the market. This includes kits for Model Shipways.

Red Check out Ab Hoving's log here at MSW - Do a search for "About reconstructing a Dutch fluit" and it should come up. I did a quick try and it pops right up. Scroll through the post and you will see how the planking lays.
-
Hi Red I really don't know much about Dutch ships, but looking at contemporary drawings I found on line when Googling Dutch galiot, I seen no reason to think the planking would be very different than the French or English. Regarding the photo of the kit model, keep in mind, some kit makers are not famous for historical accuracy so the planking could just be the Russian's in-house design rather than how it was actually done. Hopefully some members with Dutch shipbuilding knowledge will give you something more definitive.

Gun ports in the waist
allanyed replied to allanyed's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
Thanks Mark! Apparently this took place over time as your find was the first I had seen without port lids in the 17th century. I was mistaken on the model I referenced earlier from 1703. On closer inspection, lids were not included in the waist area of this particular model. But, the contemporary model of circa 1695 pictured below does have lids. As has been discussed before on many of the MSW forums, some changes on these ships took place over years so perhaps this is one of them.
