UdoK got a reaction from Wishmaster in HMS Bounty by UdoK
Hi all,
most of the sawing Job is done, the whole Frames are cut out now.
Next is to sand them to final shape, I will leave a few 1/10mm on for fairing after construction of the hull has been completed.

Thank you very much Anja!
I had a quiet public Holiday day yesterday (the Holiday is not because of my birthday ).
I even could manage to laminate some more Frame Patterns and prepare the building board.

Thank you redbeard!
Back on my workbench after being away for work all week.
Here are some details of making frame patterns as requested by Anja.
- cutting the woodstrips into required lenght and angle to fit the drawings. The strips supplied in my kit are lightly wider than 1", but it is no Problem as it gives a bit more room for inaccurate cutting of the strips.
- glueing the pieces of the Patterns (two halves for each Frame) together by using CA on a glass sheet placed on the drawing.
- sand the Joints smooth and laminate the halves together by using wood glue. I place the Pattern on my workbench and clamp it with a flat wood piece on top (front of a old cabinet drawer) until dried.
The Patterns than are ready for the thickness sander as the strips vary in thickness lightly as well..

After making sawdust all afternoon the first Patterns are glued and laminated together.
for the single pieces I have used CA, laminating together with PVA Wood glue.
41 Patterns more to go !!

Aye Aye Sir, here we go!
First pieces for the Frame Patterns have been cut.
I already felt in love with the smell of the cherry timber when cutting.

12 Pounds of finest timber like cherry, swiss pear, silver maple, boxwood and walnut, perfectly packed and well wrapped with plastic foil.

I wasn't happy with the capsquares on the cannon so I modified them to look more correct.

If I see it correctly, your are using a scrollsaw in the last picture?
If so, are these some sort of guide brackets (if that is the correct name)
Anja
My scroll saw is a 230DS/E out of box.
The bracket you see got a small roller in the front to guide the saw plate and is height adjustable to hold the material on the table.

Yesterday I have been informed by Lumberyard that it takes at least another two weeks to get my timber set on the road.
As I have decided to wait on the Hahn plans to continue with the ship boat I give a shot on the four 4 Pounder cannons.
I have started to shape a pearwood block to the outside dimension in oerder to receive the carriage brackets.
On the milling machine first thing was the axle receptions followed by the final shaping.
Cutting to the required thickness worked very well on the table saw. So far I'am pretty happy with the result (except for the quality of the photos). Well,I guess there is some room for improvement.

Spot on Edward
The hull is built in two halves, planked and decked, then fitted together
Anyway I have made a bit of a start
I checked the parts and was a little perplexed at the difference in quality
Mostly the parts were very high quality, even most of the plastic ones
As can be seen from these very good turned brass parts
However, the deadeyes and blocks
Ok some were better than that, but that's not the point
I don't think any of them should have been like that
And doing them in placcy anyway :mellow: :mellow: :mellow:
They will be replaced
So, I secured the keel to the nice bit of MDF they supplied
I then got busy with the PVA and the square
Had my dinner
Then got busy again
Although this is supposed to be a beginners model, according to Billing, a lot of information has to be taken from plans and drawings, not the instructions, which just say things like "Mount the decks" "Assemble the masts individually and mount on the deck"
So be warned if you want a nice simple "Put it together" kit to start your modelling life, this might not be the one
Anyway that's it
Time to put my feet up
What luxury now
A choice of what to do

Hi Mick,
congratulations for your new Kit, she makes a nice model.
As viewing the Pictures of the parts it seems that the hull gets made up of two halves. If so, I think it makes it much easier to errect the bulkheads nice and square.
Enjoy the build of this beautiful model, I will follow!

UdoK reacted to Alex M in HMS Sphynx 1775 by Alex M - Scale 1/48 - English 20-Gun Frigate
Hi guys, thanks you all for warm words!
Nearly nothing time to work at the model, so only a small update. The chains are now completted.
The next task is the bulkheads of cabins, so here the doors under construction. The door windows are done the same way as at the stern, but here I have glued wood strips at both sides of plastic sheet. The images show the making step by step.

Lower mast stays completed. All of the stays were made on the Model Shipways ropewalk, and I wormed each of them with smaller thread. I made individual mice for each on my little jig. Futtock staves and catharpins added. I think it is time for the pain of ratlines.

UdoK reacted to newbuilder101 in San Felipe by newbuilder101 (Sherry) – Scale 1:96
I really like Michael's "definition" for what I am doing.
It's actually quite true.
So....I did some more "juggling the order" and decided to carve the figurehead. It's not that I don't like planking, it's just a tad monotonous compared to other tasks.
The figurehead is in 2 pieces and was hand carved from a small block of basswood. The scalpel in the photo is for size comparison.
The figurehead appears larger than it really is when dry fitted on the stem because of the angle of the photograph. (That being said - it is probably a little off scale, but I'm happy with and will leave it as is.)
