Nice one, keep up the job -
oh, passable stern timbers (i still dont know where to attach them tbh):
-
Main Wale, 3 strakes out of 4 done, ran out of glue 1.5x5mm Lime - I think it doesnt look that bad, will be Sanded to shape and covered with Walnut Veneer (or maybe Mahagoni even) Waiting for thinner Lime for rest of hull and internal planking (although i'm tempted to do all internals with Tanganika which is 25% cheaper...)
-
Those you marked are actually not a problem, it's the 3 bow frames which would require sanding/filing down to an angle but i tested on scrap Wood and each Time i try to file it, the plywood layers come apart even with a fine nail-file - i dont think it Will matter on the finished ship, it's Just a bad technique
-
so, 1st strake of the main wale is in as a test, i am bending the planks with the wirecutters technique, although i found that the plywood i have for the frames is so brittle, i cant really fair them correctly so i'm left with gaps at the bow between the plank and frame 😕 Also it slighly affects the shape of the bow. I am waiting now for new wood to be delivered, will have to think about it if i can live with this or try to fix this somehow
-
actually now i am more concerned how to fit the stern timbers
-
yes, it doesnt fit but i plan to do inner planking which will cover that
-
Frames glued in place, False Lower deck dry-fitted

Hi, i've sent the DXF files only to Daniel from Dusekshipkits
-
Nooo, not you Anyway, couldnt resist, frames are removed from the sheets and pre-positioned, the shorter ones are not damaged of course - that's where some of the Gunports go. Only one frame was damaged but managed to repair I also ordered AotS Pandora which is a very similar ship, only a bit shorter. BTW @James H, i can send you guys the DXF files i created for these from the plans - might save someone the trouble if they want to laser-cut and dont know CAD (to include them in the downloads section)
-
And so it Begins... Positioning of the Centerboard and Dry-Fit of Bulkhead 0 - ideal alignment (the Duplo test was a success as well)
-
yes, i believe so, i got the 2mm blocks today, will see what i can come up with (hopefully i'll be able to use same thread)

uhm, thanks. I'm going for now ith 1.5x5mm Lime for the Hull planking, for the decks i have Tanganika and i am trying to decide what to use for internal hull planking (i thought lime too but maybe 1mm then)
-
near enough do you keep a web-gallery of all your paintings perhaps or only here ? Beautiful work
-
Alan, what wood did you use for the inside planking (wood type, thickness, width) ?
-
They are 3 or 4mm dont remember now but Daniel is sending me 2mm to try

Thank you, unfortunately this is only a kit, next Cross-Section will be scratch-build i hope (if i dont fail at the Triton scratch). I am actually thinking about a partial transverse - at least a cutout of the lower deck of the full Triton but we shall see.

Measure her and calculate There is a rope diameter sheet somewhere on the forums (in the rigging section i think) usually when you rig a ship, you start with the Bowsprit, then the mast shrouds, next the Stays - the bowsprit needs to be rigged properly first, because the stays are attached to it and it holds the fore-and-aft position of the masts in your case, you have like 90% of the standing rigging done (shrouds and ratlines) so propably only minor adjustments are needed on the stays and maybe lanyards If you dont like the color of the ratlines, you can always dye them a bit Ambitious projects are best
-
The Bulkheads are ready, waiting for delivery now
-
Yes, i have made the breeching ropes as described, wrapped around the knob (maybe not visible on the pic but they are) The coils i will do when i have made the rest of the Guns, however my concern is that the blocks are massively out of scale

Guys, really, honestly, please tell me if this rigging does look anywhere close to decent... i'm struggling with the thought to remove the outhaul tackles and just leave the breechings - it somehow doesnt look right in this scale

I did not abandon her folks, despite being anxious to start the Triton, but with the HOT weather here (over 100F in Western Europe !!!), working on gun rigging is a no-go at the moment...
