It's going to be a lot of fun to see the bulkheads assembled!  Hopefully I'll be back home in a month or so, and can make some progress as well..

I'm hoping the "fun" will be fun and no irony

what is the shipping on the kit  I'm selling mine as well for $350 and I 

will be paying the shipping  but only US  residents only can not afford to pay customs 

.           Ronald 

just a heads up on this, Customs is always paid at the receiving end, also Tax etc, the Sender has only to declare a package value and then when it arrives (in Europe for instance) then the Customs Office of receiving country calculates Customs Fee + VAT Tax based on this and asks the Receiving Person to pay it if the want the package delivered

No, Triton

Na, i decided to jump right into a scratch build :)

Christian,

 

i send you an PM

 

Sjors

Actually i live 200km from Amsterdam and we plan a trip to the Sea

Just now, Sjors said:

Thanks Jacek & Peter.

 

@Jacek,

It’s not that heavy and when you take a good look you will see that she is standing in the middle of 2 book cases.

So the weight goes to 2 sides.

Ans i see also on the left and right that there is place for 2 more😄

 

@Peter!

 

You are just saying the right words...

I love to build but when she is standing in our house,only my wife and myself are looking at her.

And that home is also for demented older people.

So maybe this give something extra to them.

 

Sjors

I didnt mean the weight but the stability - like someone knocking over the shelf or moving it to clean behind it

I'd ask them to secure it properly

Hi Jacek,

 

I am also hopeful for responses to your questions, as I have the same questions! I'll be plodding along behind you as life allows me free time to build...

 

Alan

i decided to plan for now same camber on QD and FC - i'm getting those beams laser-cut but if at any stage i decide otherwise, i'll just make new ones the traditional way, there\s a looong way before i am even close to fitting the top decks

Same for the Hanging knees.

As for the Stern Timbers i am fairly certian that i guessed it right  (at least if i'm judging correctly from SternParts.pdf)

As for my progress, i sent the redrawn bulkhead plans for laser cutting and as soon as 6mm plywood will be restocked, they will be cut for me

i like your Basswood fillers btw  Might go similar on some parts

I'm making my life miserable - i actually plan to populate the lower deck

The model looks great but those shelves - i'd have my doubts

Man, we were just talking about Gilroy here at work yesterday, believe it or not, in the context of characteristic smells of certain parts of the state.

Which would drive the postage up

i was thinking about it but the postage over the pond would be a killer ;(

Hello,

I am planning to build the Triton in 1:64 with the POB Plans, i am at the moment redrawing some of the plans in AutoCAD to prepare them for laser-cutting (yes, i am lazy :P).

Just have a few questions if someone maybe can answer them:

1. Quarterdeck and FC Beam Camber - is it the same as for the Gundeck or does anyone have a plan which is showing this ?

2. Hanging knees for QD and FC - i am planning to make the same as for the Gundeck - any objections ?

3. Stern Timbers - to what are they attached (on top of the wing transom ?)

I assume a lot of more questions will come up later but at this stage i am trying to find out what i have to cut from what wood in order to start

Oh, Materials ordered and Building Slip prepared (some lime for the first planking and other wood just to start):

 great  but my language is English just hope the instructions are in English as well 

                                   

Look, Daniel bought the rights to the designs from Mamoli, including their instructions, he is doing his best to update the kits with corrections which make them easier to build.

The instructions are in Italian, translated to Spanish, English and German, the parts list are completely in Italian, you will not get away without Google Translate to be honest.

I am now doing one of Daniel's updated kit, the USS Constitution Cross-Section, this is my first Wooden build and first model ship at all (i dont count the earlier attempt with the Revell Connie kit) and although the instructions are bad, with help of common logic, MSW and online resources i think that i am doing pretty well (apart from the obvious mistakes i do which are not related to any kit: improper tools, lack of patience with proper sanding, bad painting technique caused mostly by using paints which are not meant for this task, general lack of patience etc.)

Daniel wants to focus on releasing the whole Mamoli Catalogue with corrected parts first and then i believe he will be able to sit on the instructions - making instructions step-by-step would mean he has to actually build the kit (or have it built by someone) to make pictures

yes, a pity

Which side of the Pond do you live ?

Shot racks and buckets in place, other side still left to do and i'll be able to close the gundeck finally...

Hi Jacek. 

Nice progress with the cross section.

Has a chuckle to myself when I come across the above statement..  sometimes there is nothing to be said......

I would go for option 3 myself.

 

Looking into another cross section are you... 

Could always wait for Chucks    Pegasus to arrive.   https://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/17734-pegasus-cross-section-1776-148-by-chuck-swan-class-sloop/

I'me waiting.....

 

Regards Antony.

 

 

Yes i saw the Swan class, although started playing around in AutoCAD with the Triton plans - lets See how it Will turn out. 

First comes the Surprise tho - i really want to build a frigate first

Remember that Dusek is now reissuing the Mamoli kits. Quality can not be compared to the old kits before the fire...

Look here:

Mamoli model kits are back

Exactly, cant complain about the wood, some stuff was redone and Daniel is always willing to send parts if something is missing, also it's nice communicating with him on any topic.

DusekShipKits > Mamoli 

BTW, never ever 1:93 or similar scale... 

Rigging Cannons...

@Calhoun Zabel good start

Yes, ship terminology is needed indeed

Standing rigging: all those lines which are holding the masts in place (usually black) and they are not moved during sailing, although in your case i see the backstays are not black, backstays on your model=those 2 lines running from mast tops to ship sides behind the shrouds, shrouds=those with the "ladders" (ratlines)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standing_rigging

Anything which is not supposed to be changed by the sailors during a cruise 

Running rigging is everything which is movable and is used to position the yards, hoist sails etc.

Deadeyes = the round wooden thingies with 3 holes on ship sides which the shrouds and backstays connect to (via lanyards)

Everything else are just rigging blocks 

The swabbing is a good job

Definitely the new Camera is an improvement

Really love your work and your workshop
