Wow! Attention to detail is unbelieveable!
Very inspirational! Thanks!

Ch. 21 Wing, Pt. V: Fillets
As the chapter title suggests, wing fillets are done. These are always fiddly, because they curve in three different directions, so it's a relief when they are finished and haven't turned out too badly. The small port in the wing root is where the gun camera is located, and yes, the kit has separate parts for a gun camera, albeit a very simplified one -- never did a kit with a gun camera before.

Dziadeczek got a reaction from Jolley Roger in Is there a Boudriot's 74 Gun Ship in "kit" form???
Hi Michael,
I am scratchbuilding this exact model in the same 1:48 scale, following the books by J. Boudriot.
It is a BIIIG puppy! If you want me to send you exact dimentions, I willl do it. Suffice it to say now, you would absolutely neccesarily need a separate space (a workshop of some kind) to build it. Kitchen table will not do it!!! And prepare yourself for YEARS of work!
If you want to build it exactly like the books describe it, it is a monumental task! But, it is doable, especially now that the addendum (all frame profiles and the keel) is available from Ancre. When I started to build it, this addendum was not available, so I had to hand draw all missing profiles, since Boudriot only shows the so called, station frames (every 4th). It took a long time to draw all of them by hand, since I did not own a computer program.
There is LOOOOTS of wood cutting, sanding and glueing, so several power tools are a must!
Right now I am approaching the running rigging stage and sewing sails from thin muslin. Here is a handful of randomly selected pics of this model.
Regards,
Thomas

Dziadeczek got a reaction from mtaylor in HMS Victory by ronald305 - Model Space
Ronald,
Check it out, what Gebhard Kammerlander does with wet wood strips and a hot soldering iron.
The video is rather old and not the best quality, and in German, but you can see what is possible with this technique and what is not.
You do not have to use his electric plank bender, just a regular soldering iron should suffice (with a heat control, if possible, not to burn the wood).
Besides, the degree of wood bending also depends on wood species your planks are made of. Some wood is quite brittle, some very stiff and springly and some very pliable (pear, and somewhat stiffer cherry). The thinner the plank is, the more you can bend it, all the way up to 360 degrees!
Pre wet your planks in luke warm water for 5 - 10 minutes and, while they are wet, heat bend them to a desired curve. Sometimes you have to do it in stages, wetting them and bending, and so on. If you overbend your wood, you can unbend it - using the same technique.
Your planks look rather brittle, I don't know the wood specie (perhaps mahogany?), but you might try to replace them with some fruitwood and heat bend them, instead of using the planks supplied in the kit.
Good luck!

Dziadeczek got a reaction from mtaylor in Rigging a capstan
Why did you enclose plans for the USS Constitution?
This link Ship Model Laboratory - Centre for Maritime Archaeology and Conservation - Texas A&M University (tamu.edu) explain the whole process well, and even though it doesn't apply to the Wappen von Hamburg, but the principle is the same.

Dziadeczek got a reaction from Obormotov in Harold Hahn method
Years ago I built my French 74 gun ship upside down, mounted in H. Hahn's building base, following his method (sort of). I remember, I had to add (draw) the remaining frames, since J. Boudriot only has shown in his books the so called, station frames. The hull turned out OK, not perfect though, but - for the first scratch built, Admiralty type model, - acceptable.
Right now I am starting to install the running rigging on it.

Thank you Brian
but there are also angles which look bad. Photography can be a great liar. The lens sees completely different things than what the human eye sees but fortunately for us, sometime it looks good and often it is just a matter of luck.
