What about working plumbing? Do we get that also? (Once you see such detail, you have to ask.....).

kruginmi reacted to Mike Y in Beavers Prize 1777 by Mike Y - 1:48 - POF - Hahn style
The mill (Proxxon MF70) is truly great. Very precise, and with a proxxon cutters it cuts pear as butter. On the lowest possible speed (5k rpm), even with 1mm cutter!
Here are some first cuts and a first thingy produced on the lathe:
Now I can cut joints like this in no time! Hooray! Previously such joint will take me 30min minimum, and it would not be that precise anyway:

Not a lot of progress, still cutting the gunports. A lot of work, not enough time for modelling...
Added this monograph into the collection. Who knows, maybe that would be the next project in 5 years?
Santa read that build log and decided I really need some new toys!
Now I have 5 power tools hidden in the different parts of the modelling table, and still some room left. How do you guys manage to occupy the entire workshops?

Thanks for all the looks and likes!
This evening success breads motivation. So....I continued on with the population of the main yard arm: cleats and boom irons.
I had thought long and hard about the stunsl booms. Carrying on the theme of the main mast I decided to try using black paper and mini-dowels for the irons holding them onto the main yard. I don't think they turned out too bad. Taking a step back I am definitely ready for that topmast yard.

Before the Christmas parties at the house wanted to be able to show the model in its basic form so I moved onto the main yard arm:
I used the process outlined in TFFM and don't think I will go back to dowels ever again. A lot easier to get the center 8 sided portion and tapering / rounding the remainder really isn't that bad a process. I still have the cleats and some final shaping but this week I aim for the topyard and topgallant yard rough ins.
You can probably guess I have 'pinned' the yard to the mast. This ship will use a truss so all will be hidden.

Thanks everyone, with the snow falling outside I had a bit of time in the workshop to add the railing:
I used bamboo skewers for the upright posts and a piece of boxwood available for the railing itself. The belaying pins were from my spares box. Just need to drill some holes for the shrouds and necessary blocks (also for the stay - crows feet - that will remain empty).
As a side note, the cheek blocks didn't quite look right to me so I removed them, put them higher and thinned them out.

On to another mini-project all in itself, the fighting top. Lots of techniques here but I was leery of warping so I opted for using a 1/32" piece of basswood for my basic form, then glued the surrounding thicker rim before applying the second layer of planking. - again 1/32".
I did keep the curved front piece free to make shaping the inner planks much easier. This whole assembly will be painted black but I still added some pencil caulking to give it the look prior to that painting. next up was figuring out where all the radiating outward supports should go. I copied the top to a piece of paper and figured out where I think they should be. My proportional divider was used a LOT. Once figured out I transferred to the top itself.
Then a lot of cutting. I used a piece of walnut because I found a strip already cut that was perfect. I ended up mortising the pieces that intersect the front curved piece into the curved piece to make the fit snug with no visible gaps.
I thought at first the strip I used was way more than enough, a third of the way through I wasn't so sure, sweating it until the last three pieces showed I was good. Still have the rear railing and quite a few holes to cut but visually I am happy with it:
Stay building my friends,

Patrick,
TFFM is the The Fully Framed Model by David Antscherl available from Seawatch Books. There's four volumes and an addendum on sail-making. Very worthwhile, in my opinion. As an alternate, Ed Tosti's Naiad is also very valuable. Two volume set. I don't have Ed's book, but I do have the set of TFFM and it is a detailed description of just about everything.

That's a great motto. We can see your success in the beauty you build.

Hi Mark
I definitely agree with Mark!!! Looking mighty fine.
Quick question and probably a stupid one, though. I keep seeing "TFFM' being quoted by a number of modellers, but what does it actually stand for???
Cheers
