Plank it using maple, or holly or maybe that leftover boxwood?

CNC wood carving

And how negotiations are going for the release of Bellona and other CAF models? -
Dude can build a ship model, do doubt about it.... So cool that you are giving everyone a chance to do something like this, awesome Chuck!

Chris have you pre ordered your copy of John McKay’s new Sovereign book? Have you still a fondness enough for SoS to develop an all new version complete with CNC/ laser or 3d printed decoration set? 😀J/K - but that’s one that needs to be re done well..... I may have to look for an older Sergal kit - pre laser deck and gunport strips.... kitbash it to Mckay’s drawings. Still need a good embellishments set though.....

Hey Jeff, or anyone that has actually used this slip - I’m interested but is it accurate? Can I slide the bulkhead upright guide into place and Have complete confidence that everything is square, level, and fair? Or do I have to get out my small square, or my machined blocks and verify that everything is in perfect position? If I have to do that I might as well just square up the bulkhead like I always do and move on.... in other words does this jig stay in alignment as you start using it or does it need to be “trued” every time you move it? Is it really effective or is it just nice to have? Thanks guys....

ASAT replied to Canuck8's topic in Wood ship model kits
Canuck, sorry I took so long to check this for you- I hope this still helps you out. I do have that laser cut sheet, in fact I have 2 - attached is a pic, let me know which you would like - there is a lighter walnut sheet and a darker one, the darker one looks a bit more splintery, (you can see what I mean on the left of the darker one) so if you don’t care I would get the lighter one.... I would give you both but you never know who else might need one..... if you hear of anyone let me know - I have two 1/2 more of these left.

Is it still called a batten? I thought that was the definition for any kind of wood strips that secure things? That boat is amazingly detailed....I can’t imagine how small those rudder hinges are, you must still have a steady hand!
-
Yeah, you’re gonna be planking underneath those ply pieces and over the top of the as well..... smooth and fair is the key, not representing every nuance of the curvature of the hull.... it is only 1/64 scale after all..... by the time you finish this gal, you will be amazed at the things you obsessed over but really don’t affect the outcome of the model. 💛😀

Hey!! Moving up in the world- got a workshop! Although this is one of those clean, fine builds that probably should be left on the kitchen table! Always good to see your awesome build Ron, one of my favorites and a MSW classic!

I’ll look in my stash, I built this model and scratched a bunch of stuff so I may have some of it ..... -
Hi Tom, Welcome to MSW! I have been authorized by the admiral to procure some new ship models, I am extremely interested in your designs and am wondering what kind of time frame you are expecting to release your Bellona, Le Requin, La Belle, etc. What is the status of the sessions still not released?( 5th session of Bellona, 5 and 6 sessions of Le Renommee). Also are you planning on any English translations for the included documentation? I have a feeling you are going to be busy producing lots of kits once a few build logs start here on MSW..... I plan to be among them!

Yeah but he has four in work right now... what's one more......?? Plus we've all seen the Caldercraft stuff in bulk, the Speedy is going to shake up the whole industry!!!

Chris, Isn’t it about time to reveal the identity of your third Sloop/Brig/??? offering. That one puts me one step closer to the 50/74 Gun Frigate I’m lusting for, however if this next project is a bit larger than the first two and offered in a Master Shipwright edition I could be tempted to purchase both - I think you mentioned that the frigate’s would be too cost prohibitive to offer a Master level kit right?
-
Keep this up Chris and you’re going to put a lot of kitbasher’s out of business! You have really “raised the bar”! What the heck am I going to do with all the wood? Might have to start carving or something 😁
-
Sorry to be a PIA but are the overall dimensions listed anywhere? I’m guessing the hull is about 14” so 20 to 21 inches overall length? Close? 🙂
-
Chris, has a price been set for either version?
-
You know what they say “any publicity is good publicity” and it all ended well so all is well !
-
The new set is spot on! Way to persevere!
-
I was just jokin, Chuck.... I know mine get dirty cause I use cyano for planking and a graphite pencil for caulking.... when they both get on your fingers it’s a mess.... but I do the same as you Chuck..... 320 and WOP when I am done for the sitting.....
-
Is that yours or Chuck’s? Looks like yours, now we need one from Chuck to compare? Your trapezoid on top looks just a hair too “pointy” but I think it is fine.... it’s one of those things you can obsess about now and at the end of the build it wil just blend in with all the cool things your eye is drawn to......
-
Primer? Could you explain better please? Thanks....

It’s hard to tell Matthias, it does look like the angle on the plan, but I don’t think Chuck ever shows them from the same perspective angle that you have, it does look like you maybe took too much meat off the “thickness” of the beveled tops.... do you have a photo you are referring to? Or take a shot from the same angle as his and then compare? Or Chuck - take a overhead shot?
-
I asked him that clear back during Syren and Confederacy - I think he must be OCD about hand washing😀 I really think the key is just being meticulous and deliberate with every aspect of the build and yes, keeping everything clean.... work area, model, tools.... and your hands!

Try flipping the deck pieces over - may fit better, may be the same..... if the bulkheads are glued to the lower deck then I would open the slots in the deck till it fits and reshape center openings- after you plank it the effects of 1-2 mm should be minimal, you would probably incur greater consequences trying to fix it.....
