Often the stay part of the channel is narrower than the main part; the Boston example above indicates this variation. -
Great impression, Keith! And yes, wefalk, 'modern' synthetic is braided rather than spun. However, I suppose one strand of spun line could be colored to give the correct impression.

Bow shape of Le François 1683 and La Néréïde 1722
druxey replied to Waldemar's topic in Nautical/Naval History
Thank s for these examples, Waldemar. Would you consider that some of these curves may also have been made using a tapered batten pulled, bow fashion, into a curve? -
Congratulations and well done, Toni. Lovely result of a sweet subject. Of course, now the the question is; what next?

Bow shape of Le François 1683 and La Néréïde 1722
druxey replied to Waldemar's topic in Nautical/Naval History
Very instructive, Waldemar! Thank you for that. I've been studying English derivation of ship's lines in the 1680's. Many curves are based on circular arcs, but not all. Some are based on the cono-cuneus curve. -
Superb work as ever, Keith. Perhaps I missed this; but how did you replicate the color-coded synthetic line?
-
Very neat work!
-
Iron (or 'yron') knees take up much less valuable room inboard than wooden ones, so it is a logical choice.

At this point you can probably rig this mast in your sleep. Perhaps that's what you dream about anyway!

Nice to see you back, Michael. You can always post the GWR coach build log on "Shore leave" - hint!
-
I understand the generation of the curve aft from '1', but how do you define the curve from '1' to the stem?

A slitting saw blade on a table saw. Heat-softening the brass first and some wax while cutting will help. Mounting the brass on a sacrificial wood backing will also ease the job.

Lovely work on all the scores needed in the beams for the carlings.
-
I believe that painted canvas was also used over roofs.
-
Nicely interpreted from the photos, Dan. Glad to read that things are improving for you.
-
The cut-outs are both bravely and well done, Mark! I well can imagine your hesitance.
-
Just found this build log. Very impressive and educational as to the details of construction as compared to other countries' systems.
-
Looking great so far!
-
Well! That's a different approach. Well done!
-
Welcome aboard indeed! 31 years so far on your model? Good things take time.

No, you are not having a senior moment! It would be difficult to do, as only the 'dead flat' in the end-on elevation drawing is given. Yes, you have the sheer (in elevation) and half-breadth (in plan) as well, but that tells you nothing about the changing sectional shapes. They may be inferred from the planking runs - if accurately drawn - but that is a s much as one can squeeze out of that plan. Perhaps a similar lifeboat drawing that has the station sections might help.
