At least you had a good reference with the grid of waterlines and buttock lines, as well as diagonals. -
Much closer now! Distortion is a pain to eliminate....
-
Looks like serious distortion in the body plan that will need to be addressed.
-
Congrats, Clare! A 'launching flags' model would be very attractive - especially if in a diorama setting - and not need rigging, for sure.
-
Looking lovely, Cri-cri. Formidable!
-
The lower channel appears to be protective of the chains at dockside.
-
In interesting way to construct a framed hull!

LE CENTAURE 1783 by Jeronimo
druxey replied to Jeronimo's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1751 - 1800
Lovely work, despite a drafting error - that so easily can happen! -
Superb, as usual, Gary!
-
Everything was standardised! The Fully Framed Model lists and shows these (page 211): Leaguer 4' 6" x 2' 9", puncheon 3' 6" x 2' 8" and hogshead 3' 1" x 2' 4". Construction was also standard. Powder barrels had withy rather than iron hoops, for obvious reasons!
-
Just stumbled on your log. The model looks beautifully done. Love the canework!
-
Looking great so far!
-
The foot bars are called stretchers. Some are simply vertical pieces of plank that fit into slots on longitudinal pieces each side of the boat or between vertical struts.

"Please, Cap'n, there's a gubbins in the rigging!"

Thank you for this primer in proper usage of images, Chris.
-
Impressive little beasties! Well done, Chuck.
-
Yes, Greg, you are correct: She is. The model is much more advanced now than in the photo posted. The hull, decks and fittings are almost complete. The headwork will shortly commence. But I don't want to hijack your exemplary build!
-
The principle of a tally stick or tick strip is an old and very reliable one for transferring measurements error-free. You will find this very useful in many applications while building a model, Chris. I have a small pile of paper and card strips that I use for the purpose.
-
Those frames will never get away.... Seriously, that is a very nice keel assembly. Looking very good.
-
That is a magnificent pond yacht that you have there! Would shoe eyelets be about the right size?
-
I would agree with Christian. It's also much easier to apply planking at the bow without the knee in the way.
-
Looking good so far. The upper part of the assembly is known as the knee of the head with your parts 4 and 5 the standard and hair bracket.

Finding a suitable sail in store was done using wooden tags attached. Examples if these tags still survive.
