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.

Building continues with the stern framing. I was lucky enough to get the frames laser cut for me. I used a simple cardboard template to install them at the same angle as shown on the plans. Next, the five sills were added. I made these from 5/32" x 5/16" strip. These angles were tricky to get right and there were a few throwaways.  The sills were set flat, not pointing upwards. The final step was to add the four laser cut lintel filler pieces. In a few places, I found them to be a tiny bit too short between the frames, so I cut new ones from 1/4" sheet boxwood. The interior and exterior surfaces were then faired. I was told that these surfaces will eventually be thinned down even more.

In preparation for the bollard timbers the area behind the stem was reduced to a thickness of 1/8".

Hello gentlemen !

Following the mistake I made by positioning a black join - not to simulate a caulking - but to show that the barrels were composed of several pieces, I decided to start all over again.

So I trimmed my chopsticks, without the join this time :


Then I ordered copper roll (Petr - my new Czech friend - advised me) :

Back on the lathe, still using a rubber band allowing me to machine both sides of the barrels without damaging them :


Vérification :

Then the result on a serie :

The lids :

For the continuation of the work on these lids, here in pictures, how I proceeded, for those that it could interest :









Then comes the work of copper. I use gloves so as not to 'grease' and I cut small strips corresponding to the size of barrels :

The advantage of this copper roll is that it can be immersed in a liquid without altering the self-adhesive part :

For rinsing, I followed Petr's advice : "Bicarbonate de soude" dissolved in distilled water :

After drying, the copper strips are cut into thin lengths using a ruler and a scalpel, then it is patience :




Nothing complicated, but it's quite long.

In the end, I declined 6 series of barrels :

To obtain 88 barrels :

No more black joints, so it is more in line with reality, but we see less separations between the boards ... Question of choice !

They were the most "big" barrels. There will be others thereafter, but not for the moment : I'm starting to saturate!

See you later !

Hello,
 
after I had to do some other things then shipbuilding, here now an update. I painted the under water ship.
 
Before I go on and build the upper part of the outside ship ready, I must build in the gun deck and made the inner walls smooth. But then the slots for the over head stand will get lost. So I painted it now.
 
In the first picture I made the water line horizontal.
 

 

 

 

Thank you guys for so many nice responses.
To aviaamator: I have found no informations about it, but there are many pictures in the Lees book (The masting and rigging of english ships of war), where can you see that direction of leech rope was the same on both sides of the sail.
I continue with the fore and main course. Only these two sails will be partially furled.

I could spend the whole day watching your photographs Albert.
