Yet Another Pandora 3D build
druxey replied to herask's topic in CAD and 3D Modelling/Drafting Plans with Software
Nice start. Two points: One, that stem would be shored up well (propped) or is would stress the boxing joint and very likely fall over! Two: As for the rabbet line, it would become the bearding. You need a good book to reference for so much of the construction of one of these wooden ships. -
But you really need to plan out all the planking runs first, or you will run planks at the bow down to points! The problem arises by running the garboard up the stem, as in the illustration above. It leaves insufficient space for all the other strakes, like crowded teeth. The only solution is to drop some strakes, which in most hulls is unnecessary. Do read the planking tutorials. It will save you a lot of grief.

Read the pinned articles on planking on this site!

The blue arrowed location was for the fish davit, I think.

Here is a 3-pounder of the period in two scales: The barrel was 4' 0" long. Hope this helps you, Ab!

Never make anything simple if you can make it complicated! The designers back then certainly threw everything at the carpenters and shipwrights. And now the model-maker. You are doing an outstanding job, Matthias.

Look at paintings of the day; there are no reef points. Bonnets were used only on larger ships until reef points were introduced.

A very pragmatic and practical approach to lofting! It should work out well.
-
Sorry about the water content in PVA doing that. How frustrating!
-
Nice, neat, methodical work, JD!
-
You absolutely should keep your process proprietary, Chuck. The time as well as cost you've invested should produce a return for you. You didn't invest in all that to produce a dozen 'me too' knock-off merchants.

That plane is certainly not a toy! I've been using mine for the past few days tapering planking. It works a charm.
-
That is a lot of sanding and elbow grease!

A little bird tells me that there will be a book out later this year on all the Stuart Royal yachts, from Mary onward!
-
That looks good, K!

Just catching up, Marc. A fascinating volume! Your small-scale rope coils and lines look very convincing. I only use white glue on line and it works very well.

That does look as if the sheet moved during laser etching. Those pieces should have been accurate mirror images of each other. Your methodical approach will pay dividends!

Alpayad: 'arches for the ports' is a good description for rigols and must be one and the same. Well spotted!
-
The absence of rigols on contemporary models does not necessarily mean that they were absent on the actual ships.
-
Terrific work all round. I presume that you counted the number of ball-bearings to match the original, didn't you?
-
That is a lot of detail! Does it deserve a cutaway?

Looking good, Alan.
