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.

Jeronimo reacted to garyshipwright in HMS Montague 1779 by garyshipwright - 74-gun Alfred-class
Thanks every one, your words mean a lot. After some time I finally do believe I have a almost finish 32 pound cannon. There is just a few details such as the metal hoop that goes on the end of the axle's and maybe a tompions that goes in the mouth of the cannon yet to do. I have not had a lot of time and had Chuck make me up some 5/32 blocks and hooks to rig the tackles. I tried the 1/8 inch blocks but they seem to be to small. Has far as the messenger cable I made a new one to replaced the black cable, and rigged it in place. Not sure how the two ends come together so I just may have to change that in the future, if its wrong. If any of you know how it was done let me know, will you please. Hopfully I find a few minutes to take a look. One thing that I though was neat is the small chain that hold's the trunnon key hanging down on the stbd side and it twin on the port side in place to prevent the trunnon opening up. Hope you enjoy the photo's folks as much as I enjoy building the cannon's. Now I only have another 27 to go.
The pumps are undergoing maintence on them. After looking at the hoods, thought just maybe I install all of the upper part's of the chain pumps and leave the hoods off. Believe Greg posted a photo showing one of the swan ships with this set up and thought that might be a good ideal on Montagu. Gary

Hi Holger,
the construction of a complete model as BHR in 1:36 scale,
would be delimited in my hobbyroom / Workshop not have been possible.
Lenght over all: 1946,7 mm
Breadth over all: 848,0 mm
Highness: 1488,0 mm
Originally, only the construction of the rear section was planned,
with complete interior looks like a ship this epoch inside.
The three parts of the model ship will always be so in individual cases.
Der Bau eines kompletten Modelles im Maßstab 1:36 wie die BHR wäre in meinem
begrenzten Hobbyraum / Werkstatt nicht möglich gewesen.
Länge über alles: 1946,7 mm
Breite über alles: 848,0 mm
Höhe: 1488,0 mm
Ursprünglich war auch nur der Bau des Hechabschnittes geplant,
mit komplettem Innenausbau um zu zeigen wie ein Schiff dieser Epoche " Innen" aussieht.
Die drei Teile des Modellschiffes werden also immer in einzelnen Vitrinen sein.

Jeronimo reacted to tlevine in HMS Atalanta 1775 by tlevine - FINISHED - 1:48 scale - from TFFM plans
Having heard Mr. Excitement got his picture posted, Sadie got jealous and tried to give me her best "I'm excited" or is that "Feed me" look.
I have applied the finish to the deck, hatches/coamings and inner hull up to two (scale) feet above the upper deck clamp. I am a little disappointed that the holly turned so yellow but there is still a reasonable contrast between it and the boxwood waterway. On the other hand, the cherry on the hatch coamings really pops. The last picture shows the change in the color of the boxwood with the finish applied and sanded with 400 grit.

I have constructed all of the upper deck beams and glued them temporarily in place. Most of the deck beams are directly above the lower deck beams. Six of the beams are offset either fore or aft, some for obvious reasons (like a mast being in the way) and others for reasons I am sure I will figure out later. Once I mark the centerline and carling locations, I will remove the beams so I can finish the lower deck.
The Swan class had one set of sleepers. These are large knees that attach to the aft cant frames and filling transoms with 1" bolts. These are made by cutting out templates to the rough shape and then sanding them to the correct shape. As they are set at an angle, the two faces are not perpendicular to the sides.

There are two treenails at each intersection. As suggested in TFFM, I impressed a dimple in the wood with a very sharp point and then used a pencil to highlight the dimple. The pictures show the main hatch cover prior to treenailing and the aft hatch cover completed. They still need to be sanded down on the undersurface to the correct depth on top to match the curvature of the deck. If I sand some of the treenails off in the process, they are easily redone.

Hello Karl.
I have just finished reading through the entire log.
It has taken me some 3.5 hours and at every photo I am amazed at the skills and quality of this build.
You always add that little bit more detail and enhance the already perfect build.
Please keep the photos and build posted as I am following this build.
Regards Antony.

Hi mates,

The carriages
The guns of the Caroline where same as on the Bounty ex. Bethia.
This has reinforced my decision at the gun carriages to not change anything and they are placed on the ship.
But now I get a folder from the decryption department placed on the table. Many thanks to the team, keep it up, you do excellent work.
On the cover "Top Secret, only for official use"
After evaluating the documents and photos, with super secret camera photographed
May I present to you, worth audience, more secret weapons production practices of smithy of his Majesty of England.
The carriages are in the style of Engl. Cannon built.
The sides of the carriage consist of two parts, which are bolted together.
In the lower part are the cutouts for the axles, at the top are the cutouts for the trunnion.
The axis sections of the lower bars are sawn on the circular saw
The semicircle is pre-cut to the circular saw and then filed
The upper parts are adapted and shaped
Now for the axles and wheels
All parts of the carriages without wheels and axles
The carriages are being built together
Ready gun carriages with guns
Guns on board
The next report on the arming of Caroline is in work and follows soon
Have Fun

Jeronimo reacted to Remcohe in HMS Kingfisher 1770 by Remcohe - 1/48 - English 14-Gun Sloop - POF
Thanks guys. Urb, I've send you a pm.
Here's the whole assembly with the crosspiece and I decided to make the short version of the cleat (this is the piece that supports the upped deck beam)
Still need to add some ironwork, not sure if I'll add the hook on the inside or the outside. TFFM shows two options (V1 p 276
and p80 V2)

Jeronimo reacted to garyshipwright in HMS Montague 1779 by garyshipwright - 74-gun Alfred-class
Hi Guys and thank you very much.
Hi Ed. As far as the deck planking, I am planning on leaving off as much as possible accept for some that the cannon's will sit on.
As far as the next item, I wanted to show the main mast partner which was a heavy bulk of timber. Most of how this part is laid out came from David's A book the The Fully Framed Model, The Swan. Any way it was one of those items that not only was interesting but a lot of fun to make.Montagu is made up of 8 pieces of wood and the photo also include parts of the chain pumps, which is part of fitting it. Hard to do one with out the other.

Once the spirketting and water way was done I installed the 12 standand's per side according the the research I had. She really had 12 per side, and one at the stem and another one at the stern. They were used to strengthening the sides, and for resisting an violent or sudden shock. One thing is for sure, they will sure make installing the upper deck hanging knees a very interesting item to install.

Thanks every one. After doing the wale on the outside, I turned my attention back to the gun deck and started to install the water way and the spirketting. As far as the shape of the stakes, their shape came from the Elizebeth plan. Does seem that I am sort of stuck on the gun deck and hopfully once the cannons are done things will starte to move along.
