Chain pumps
druxey replied to dvm27's topic in Discussion for a Ship's Deck Furniture, Guns, boats and other Fittings

Echo by Maury S - FINISHED - Cross-Section
druxey replied to Maury S's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1751 - 1800
Looks like you are well along your way there. Maury. And it is surprising how rigid the structure becomes as you add longitudinal elements.- 324 replies

Ouch! Having to revise the aft end of the framing was, I'm sure, a painful decision, Gaetan. However, the finished model will be even more impressive as a result. I've noticed that the framing, particularly aft, can distort over time if not secured by planking, ribbands or deck beams.

Yes, bolts were placed through the beams anywhere pins pass by them. Everything looks terrific, Remco!

Try cutting a rabbet on scrap first. Practice can save you grief! Remember to keep your cutting edges really, really sharp.

A framing question
druxey replied to rafterrat_2005's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
Russ is right: it all depends on country of build, time and ship size. If you can be more specific, we can be as well! -

The 'treenails' through the keel are actually bolts and, yes, they go all the way through. If you don't have a drill press, drill from both sides to get them in the right places.

Thanks for posting this extensive 'paper' on the symbolism of the carved works seen on SOS, Bill. Also the background to the Van de Velde portrait of Pett.

Plank edge sanding
druxey replied to rebekb's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
Spyglass's idea works well. The plank is held firmly and your sanding is at right angles to the sides of the plank. -
Looking good, Dan. I really like your main mast partners. It's always nice to see unusual features shown on a model.

Thanks for the prompt answer, Michael. I've asked another question on your other thread on this topic.

Very nice headwork, Isalbert. Bien fait! -
Nice little serving machine, Michael. I don't quite understand the purpose of the the third slide, far right in the photo, though.

Nice going, Toni. It always amazes me how much structure went into even a small vessel of that era.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
