Jeronimo reacted to garyshipwright in HMS Montague 1779 bygaryshipwright - 74-gun Alfred-class
Thanks guy's
B.E. your right and Remco also told me about the size, which of couse I didn't do. I did go back and changed the breeching rope along with the tackles to a right size and thank you both. The breeching rope is now .047 inch and the tackle is .017. Thanks for the infor on the gun and it's parts. As many times as I have looked at them and study all the parts to install on the carriage, you would think I should know them by heart. Here are some new photo's of the cannon but this time mounted on board Montagu . Enjoy the photo's guys. Gary

Hello friends.
There are three rider ( Kattspore ) in all reinforcing the hull.
The hooks and half-hooks of the mainmast step and the mast-step carlings.
These timbers are made up of a number of pieces because of their shape.

Jeronimo reacted to Richard Bradfield in Willie L Bennett by Richard Bradfield - Model Shipways - 1/32 Scale - first build - Skipjack
Adam and Bob, Thanks for the comments. I am having fun with it. Worked on it a bit today. Faired the deck frames, installed the planksheers and the side guards. I soaked the log rails in water a few minutes and am forming them to the hull. Only one pic to add today.

Hello all, This is my first build log and my first build of a somewhat detailed wooden model boat. I retired about 18 months ago and decided to get into building model boats. I am partial to work boats, especially those of the Chesapeake Bay, so I built a simple crabbing skiff and a smaller scale skipjack wood model to get into it a bit. This kit is far and away more difficult. I am having fun though and the hours just slip on by. I am sorry I did not start the build log properly by documenting the kit unboxing and early stages of my build so this log picks up after I finished the basic hull. I started this build on Jan 15, 2013. I am building the boat as close to the "real thing" as I can and adding as much extra detail as I am capable of. Comments or questions are welcome of course.
The cabins and hatches are just temporarily placed on the deck. The main cabin roof was split in two so that I can remove half to see the detail. The cabin windows are clear plastic. The cabin mattresses are pieces of cardboard covered with old sail cloth. All doors are hinged and hatch covers are removable. Well that brings this build up to date. The next task is to cut and install the planksheers.

As always I am speechless when viewing your work. I need to find a dictionary of superlatives just to comment properly.

Incredible work, Karl!
I wish me, the Bonhomme Richard have more sections as only three... :)
It's real pleasure to follow your build!

Hi Karl,
I have to ask you something. First you built the back-section then you built the front-section an now you are still work on the middle-section. Am I right that the ship is complete at the end? Why did you built in section? That you have been able to show the ship from inside?
Regards
Holger

Jeronimo reacted to allanyed in Effie M Morrissey 1894 by allanyed - FINISHED - Scale 1:48
A bit of progress has taken place. Frames are made and partially faired. Couple strakes have gone on which has beefed up the rigidity of the framing a lot. I did not do much fairing inboard down low as the lower hold is filled with cement for a good portion of the hull. Still debating about putting in the lower deck and cabin details. If I decide to cut out sections of the framing to expose areas inboard, at least the area where the frames are removed will get some finishing work. With Effie having gone through several transitions, her inboard layout also change a lot. I am probably staying with how she orginally came off the ways, so her layout inboard was simpler and certainly more austere than in later modifications. Keel, stem, deadwood, keelson are Castello box, the frames are poplar. Poplar is normally a bit soft for my own taste, but as all the frames are doubled, and the grain is running opposite on each pair, I had no breakage and the fairing has shown them to be pretty nice to work with, so far.

Hello friends,
Gun ports on both sides and part of the outer planking.
The small gun ports are not visible from the outside in the BHR.
Port side of only the main Frames were left Standing.
Beidseitig Geschützpforten und ein Teil der Aussenbeplankung.
Die kleinen Geschützpforten auf dem Gun-Deck sind bei der BHR von aussen überplankt.
Backbordseite wurden nur die Richtspanten (Hauptspanten) stehen gelassen.
