This maybe an unusual way of framing a hull, Amalio, but the result show that its a good method.

Good points all around. Sometimes it's just best to let them hit the wall. Then be there to help them off the floor. We all learn, sometimes from words, other times from running into the wall.- 4,151 replies

Thanks for all the "likes", comments, and "just having a peek in". Update time.... All three decks now have their clamps in place. I've checked from side to side and they're close but need a bit of touching up with a file to get each side level with the other. I've also started making up the beams for the lower deck. The pictures show the first two beams shaped on the ends and also sitting in place. I'm still planning on an almost full lower deck with the following exception.. the aft end planking will end after the partition and door for the gunroom. I may change my mind as get more into this area but I'd be winging it to put any thing after that wall basically be sheer guesswork including the beams. There's (according to the plans) two "cabins" in the gunroom but I'm thinking they're storage. The hull in the area takes on some serious curves. As I said, I may change my mind once I get into the deck planking. I'll also put in the mizzen mast step, the main and fore mast partners, the oven, and the three hatches (two have gratings). There will also be the cabins (empty), bread rooms, and storage rooms along with the forward partition that's behind the foremast. The anchor point for the bowsprit will need to be installed and the opening in the bow opened and shaped for the bowsprit on the beakhead. Anyway, here's the pics... I'm open to critique, ideas, and thoughts as always. Have a great Friday and weekend.

John, I'm happy to have been of help. We all learn from each other here. I'm just glad you found what works for you.

Hmm... I've never had success with the boiling or microwave way of bending. I soak and then use a curling iron... rinse and repeat as needed. I tried Chuck's method and some woods worked well, others, not so much. Plus, I don't have space to work with the heat of a heat gun. My workshop is pretty packed. The key is to heat until it's pliable and then bend and lock into position until cool.

It's a pity the owner of the real ship can't see this, or hasn't seen this.... Most impressive, Patrick.

I would think the yard dogs deserve a tot or two of rum or perhaps, being French... wine. It seems a plan is coming together. -
Planking Options
mtaylor replied to kurtde's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
HI Kurt, I'm not sure what you mean by "the best/preferred way to proceed"???? There's planking tutorials pinned here: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/forum/14-building-framing-planking-and-plating-a-ships-hull-and-deck/and in the database here in the Planking and Framing section:http://modelshipworldforum.com/ship-modeling-articles-and-downloads.php I hope this is what you're looking for. -

You could be right on that Joel. As I understood it, it was needed for the first load (if the guns were unloaded) and then if there was a mis-fire or if for some reason it didn't recoil. It would make sense to me, not have excess clutter on the deck.

Michael, They do have inhauls. Depending on the navy and even the captain, they might or might not be rigged until actually needed to run in a gun. They were usually not rigged until the call for "action" except for maybe an inspection. They would be something else to trip over.

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.
