Hi

just a small update , the knee parts and keel ar done ,one last thing that needs to be done is tapering the knee of the head.

Below is a dry fit of the bulkheads except frame nr. c

Michael

hello Antony
Yes, that's also one of the things I've been worried about, so I'm looking at this table

Michael

Mark 

A master, no just lucky
Christian

no but I have access to one where I only pay for the materials I cut , plus 10 $ per hour

My building board is finished and the same are the 8 angle braces

next one on the list is to cut some wood on my new table saw

Hi All

just a little update , before i start the model i have decided to make a build table it is made of 18mm beech ply  700mm wide 2000mm long (sorry for the bad picture)

All the bulkheads ( 32 ) and the 9 pieces that make up the stem I post some picture in a few days. out of the 32 bulkheads I only mess up one

Michael

just a couple of pictures more before bedtime,

Michael

Nils

no ,  on a shelf in my living room

Druxey

yes she is, I'm almost afraid to think about how much she will weigh when she's done

Michael

Hi Nils

she will be 1820 mm long

Michael

Hi All

Now after 6 weeks of high sunshine, where time has been spent outdoors, it now  time for a little update.The first picture shows my work table without any mess, it will probably be the last time it will happen.
picture 2 and 3 show The three section bulkhead shapes and 13 out of the 32 bulkheads and last but not least some of  the wood I received from Jason from Crown Timberyard last week.

It's only when you stand with the part between your hands you get an idea how big this model will be , the ruler is 100 cm long and the 2 bulkheads in the middle are 41 cm wide.

Michael

hi all
I am almost finished with the building plan for the HMDS Perlen , so I decidert to start a buid log for her.
all i need to do is the last few frames and the bow filler pieces , and then I be ready to make wood dust.The drawing is made in autocad
My plan is to start cutting wood when my 3 week vacation start on april 5 

Michael

Beautiful work.

Michael

Hi Druxey

Yes, you're right, I've looked up drawings back from 1705 until 1820
and they all show the same thing, like this one  from 1728

Michael

Hello Siggi

I have found this drawing in the Danish archive. It's a plan of a Danish 90-gun ship of the line  from 1766, I have 3-4 drawings more that show the same

Michael

 amazing work Druxey

Michael

Hi Albert

that really nice work

Michael

Hi Mark

beautiful work on the rudder

Michael

while waiting for the glue to dry I decided to do the fairing on bulkheads L , M And N the 3 foremost bulkheads  before I glue them on

Michael

Hi All

just a small update the build board is ready

and I decided to dry fit all the bulkheads

and finally the first 4 build board ar glued on.

Michael

Mtaylor and Druxey you  are right it was a tough decision, and that was why it took so long to decide

a small update the false keel ar glued together

and I have started on the stempost

Regards

Michael

Hi Fam

yes I have access to a public lasse cutter, all I have to do  is pay $ 7 for every hour I use it

Michael

now I think is time for a little up date on this model, I decided to throw the old model out and start over again why ? because I made too many mistakes as I made the first drawings, so instead of to constantly correct errors on the error on the old model I decided to start over.

I've created a set of new drawings and finish cutting the new parts

the last image is of the false keel of a Danish 74 scale 1:48 the small model is a Danish gunboat also in 1:48

Michael

that is one  beautiful model ,marsalv!
