samueljr got a reaction from CaptainSteve in CONSTITUTION c. 1812 by samueljr - scale 1:76.8 - cross-section
For all those who have asked the build is the CONSTITUTION c. 1812 in 1:76.8 scale.
Tim Igoe is working with me on the project (testing my design) and will be producing a concurrent build thread.
Should be fun (famous last words)

Thank you for your interest.
The wale is actually not parallel to the gun ports. The angle of the photos (even straight on) is skewing the perspective a bit. Also, the scale of the build (1:76.8) is an OK size but a distance of say 2" is barely 1/32" so it changes are slight. The gun ports actually rise moving fore to aft about a 1/16" of an inch as well.
The source material for the build is an acknowledged historical source(s) endorsement by a recognized and accredited organization.
The build is 9"-3/4" long, 6" high (hull) and 5"-3/4" at beam (6"-3/4") at widest point. Height when masted will be approximately 34" with a main yard (w/stunsils) at 19".
The keel in scale is only 12" deep from bottom of garboard strake.
Much work to do.............

Starboard side.
Wales are installed. They feature a laser etched/embellished anchor stock planking detail. This will be repeated on Port. The wales, (for photgraphic detail) have been given a coat of wipe-on poly to highlight the etch. When finished they will be painted black.
There is one 3/16" strip installed below the wale. From that point down to planking band "C" the hull on Starboard will be left open for view of lower deck details.
A thin veneer was added to each bulkhead/frame face between the wale and band "C" providing a cleaner surface for finish (either paint or stain)
Next up: Above the wales

Thought I'd switch sides, band C is installed on Starboard.
As with Port, the Garboard strake is beveled from 3/16" to 1/8" length wise. It is then beveled on edge to tuck into the rabbit formed by the additional piece added to the Keel (former).
The remaining strakes are all at 1/8".

Floyd,
You're gonna love working with Chuck's blocks and rigging line.
If you're like me you're gonna want to go back and re-rig all you're completed projects because you can tell how much better they would be!

Floyd,
Welcome to the club (or is it boat)? Could we all fit in?...................
The brass rod I used was simply bought at Hobby Lobby. It's 1/16" hollow and cut with a pair of snips.
Best of luck - looking forward to following along

Port side middle band ("B") is comprised of 11 planks. The planks are 3/16" forward tapering to 1/8" aft.
The first 5 are installed and the spacing/measurements are checked to assure the planks are running true.
The remaining planks are tapered and installed with the 11th plank being un-tapered until it is installed to make any adjustments necessary for inconsistencies in taper of previous planks.
The entire side below the Wale is sanded with a series of progressively finer grade of sandpapers (4-5 steps) from 80 to 600 grit.
The entire hull is then wiped down with a tack cloth and blown with compressed air.
