I'm tired of sawing and sanding wood. I'll do some outfitting for a change. Start with the metal boiler. As long as the size of the parts and drawings accurately match, will not be affected by the hull deviation. The drawings are 1:36 and must be converted to 1:60(60% of the drawing size) before being made. In order to beautiful and firm, the main body using block copper milling processing, the basic use of riveting parts. The utility model avoids the unsightedness of the welding and the unsteadiness of the adhesive. The precision of machining is required higher.

Just make sure that the upper ends of those counter timbers are well protected. Don't ask how I know this!
Beautiful work, as usual..

Greg, is this what you meant by "the knee of the head permanently" ?

Another great model. As the others have said, if not happy, repeat! As with your other builds, your joinery is so clean and crisp. I will enjoy following along with this one as well.
cheers

This is the third time to rework, the positioning is finally right. It's not a good idea to trust your feelings with the naked eye, wasting a lot of time and energy. . .

No one can be perfect.I'm just trying to do better。

Well done! The forward edge of the knee is rounded off, so when at anchor the cable doesn't get damaged by rubbing against any sharp corners. See Greg's photos.

The saddest thing for me was that while everyone else was making progress in post construction, I was regressing in reconstruction and failure. But I'm glad you guys supported it, especially Greg and Druxey for their timely comments! I learned something. It's been specially modified today. Also feel harmonious and much better-looking!

It's all part of our learning curve, bitao. My first fully framed model had parts re-built four times!

Greg, I finally understand what you're saying, and first of all, thank you so much for pointing that out. This is also the reason why I like MSW from the bottom of my heart, I have seen many masters including your excellent works and style of work, let me learn a lot of things, but also met many warm-hearted friends. Secondly, I have to admit that some mistakes are inevitable due to my lack of knowledge of the basic structure of ships and my language comprehension and reading difficulties. But it's also the process and opportunity for me to learn and improve. At present, the ribs have been laid to the seventh group, although it is more difficult to change, but I think it is also a test and an opportunity to improve my skills. I will do everything in my power to meet that standard. Thanks again for your detailed and patient answers!

No, Bitao. Those are the hawse and bollard timbers. Look at the photos below. In the first one the black arrow points towards the upper end of the knee of the head. It is where the figurehead sits and tapers to about 6" in width on the Naiad frigate. If you look carefully at Sheet 2 of Ed's plan you will see this taper. The taper also extends down to the lower part of the knee. Ed also discusses this on page 71 (volume 1) "Tapering the Knee of the Head". In the second photo the red arrow points at the standard ("gammoning knee") which sits atop the knee of the head. Note that it is narrower then the stem and knee of the head. Ed mentions it briefly in volume 2, page 272.
It would difficult for most people to add this taper once the knee of the head is attached to the model but if you have already done so I believe your skillset will find a way to do this. Hope this has clarified things for you.

Lovely remake Bitao. Just curious - is the knee of the head permanently affixed to the stem or just temporarily fitted? I'm asking because the knee of the head is usually tapered aft to fore and from the lower to the extreme upper tip. As well the standard usually narrower than the upper knee/stem junction.

Because of carelessness, I failed again! Measurements found that the width of the sides was 4 mm smaller. I compressed the goddess's ample breasts. . .
That was a cheap mistake! Prepare for the third rework...

Today, I found some problems and mistakes. It doesn't affect the whole structure, but it does bother me. Also, some of the materials are not ideal. So I decided to start from scratch and throw everything away. I need to take a break and start over. This post will be deleted in three days. I'm sorry to disappoint you.

Thanks for the likes and anticipation. This part of the progress seems very slow, but in fact because the operation of a bit more grinding, I failed three times to reach the standard. Because each plane radian changes greatly, the part clamps the difficulty, simply uses the spade knife manual repair. So it seems that surface finish is not as perfect as machine finish.

Do a little bit every day to make sure I'm making progress. Some words and sentences have to be looked up by translation software to be understood because the English descriptions on the pictures are difficult to read. And I'm used to using MM units, each of which needs to be converted and double checked. Slow down. Strive to achieve every detail can meet the requirements of the drawings. Thank you for your attention.

Hello everyone, it's great to be back on this forum again. The original plan was to take at least half a month off after 《YOUNG AMERICA 》and move on to the next project. But I'm used to being in the studio every day, enjoying the intense and difficult process. I've been reading all THE books I've bought these days, and I've decided to start making 《THE NAIAD FRIGATE 1797》. I also chose it because I like a boat with a complicated interior. More importantly, the whole process and Mr. Edt's drawings made me feel very precise, very human, very easy to understand. At least I don't have to spend any more time doing research. I will have a holiday soon, the hot Beijing lets me bury in the home earnest manufacture, and the determination completes it! It took me more than three months to learn and prepare before I started building my last boat, and this time it took me only four days to build it. It's still a tough ship for me, but I'm willing to share my every move with you, even if it means going through the inevitable process of failure. But I think perfection is the goal of all of us.
