You might wish to consider running the wood grain diagonally on the knees for better strength. The grain running along one arm of a knee means an inherent weak point at the throat of the knee. Looks great so far!

Head timbers are a pain at the best of times, but you seem to be well on the way to conquer them, Marc.

You look like you done great job and have gone up the learning curve of planking a hull as well. The payoff will be when you paint her!

Nice work, Ron. Congrats on reaching the conclusion of another stage with rigging. You've done a really nice job painting up your figures. You can always add fingernails and beard shadow with paint, you know!

Mathew Baker's early concept of ship hull design, ca. 1570
druxey replied to Waldemar's topic in Nautical/Naval History
I stand corrected: the deadrise was not apparent in the smaller scan. Thank you for posting the enlargement, Waldemar. -
Mathew Baker's early concept of ship hull design, ca. 1570
druxey replied to Waldemar's topic in Nautical/Naval History
It appears to me that there is no deadrise at the midships frame in this construction. The rise of floor (your 'floor line') is quite clearly zero here. -
I agree that, at that micro-size, the laps alone would probably not have held. Perhaps just a few frames (say, every fourth) might very well be enough, and then insert the remaining ones after the shell is off the plug. At any rate, the fixes are easy and a terrific result!

Bonjour et bienvenue ici, Maxx!

A very neat solution, David! Well done and a happy Canadian Hanksgiving to you also.

Well, hearty congratulations at the end of a long trail, Chuck. This is a lovely prototype of your kit. Hopefully it will spark more interest in the 18th century aesthetic that these ships represent and inspire other model makers. Well done indeed.

Well, I can see why you might not be entirely satisfied - if that boat was at 1:48 scale. But at the small scale you are working at, it is quite remarkable!

Looking good so far. Nice weights! Just take your time and don't rush it: it's the journey!

Now you've finished its replacement, the lost yard is sure to resurface.... Sorry to read of your frustrating experience. Hopefully smooth sailing from here on.

An interesting post - in more ways than one. It seems that you've had many vicissitudes and am glad you are past them now. Hopefully the family stays healthy now! Glad you are back to the model: it can be a healing activity.

Looks great, Ron. BTW, 'rigging trucks' are called bullseyes.

I understand that layers of paint, etc, will change the appearance, but the folds of drapery around her left leg look very different. If the original figure, there must have been repairs carried out, not just overpainting.

Is this actually the original figure reworked? There are other differences, such as the gap between the left wrist and breast and very different folds in the cloak and dress.

William Sutherland's concept of ship hull design, 1711
druxey replied to Waldemar's topic in Nautical/Naval History
The application all depends on the proportions of the c-c curve. They are related to the principal dimensions of the hull. Once the appropriate c-c curve is made, it will apply all the way along the hull below the (single) conoid. In my opinion, the solution is simpler and more elegant than Sutherland's. And that's all I have to add to this conversation. Yes, Wayne, that's Dr. Wallis' contribution via the Royal Society. -
Very nicely done. SHJ. Congrats on completing the model. Your comments on 'rigging' the oars is interesting as well.

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.
