Very nice work Alan, your hull looks stunning. JJ

Looking really good Fred, I think once you complete your planking and give it a nice block sanding it will look perfect. The tree nails are a very nice touch and a ton of work. Looking forward to your next update. JJ

So many more important details at this stage that require much care and time. You’re surly going to pass me soon, I can’t foresee a time in the near future when I’ll be able to finish my Winnie.

Looking good Ron, glad to see you back at it!
-
That looks really good Tom, well done. Excellent design work.
-
Thank you Glenn. Im hoping this will work well after some print modifications. She’s coming along…at a glacial pace.

Beautiful work!

I have a small update on Portland, I’ve been designing a QG for 3D print, this is just an initial test to check rigidity of the structure and if it’s even possible. The QG will fit onto existing wood structure and should require a slight bit of finesse to attach to the hull. The basic structure and shape of the QG will be printed, once painted the moldings, columns, windows and carvings will all be in wood, so the finished QG should be very convincing. The model requires some revision but the basic idea looks promising so far. Thank you to @Gabek for his expertise and print assistance. JJ

Nicely done Frank.

Lovely work David… it won’t be long until I have one of these printers now, simply excellent results at that scale! The prints also help highlight how well you executed many parts on the model by hand, well done indeed.

Very nice work! Love all the wood contrast! Congratulations!

Lovely work Frank! Everything looks spot on.

What incredible work!

Looks like it’s only really meant to be an engraver, which is still very handy for marking parts. You could perfectly mark out cabin and deck gear arrangements on a sub a deck piece, even etch the deck planking and margins. I am going to build a large model of RMS Olympic someday and intend to do all deck layouts exactly that way.

Depends on the laser, I’m running a 105 watt and I can make easy work of 3/8” or 10mm material. I’ve been successfully cutting MDF at 1/4” without a hiccup. Of course having both machines would be ideal.
-
Chris and Chuck are very successful with laser cutters, you can produce parts way quicker on a laser and they are very accurate. Im learning my machine still but I can see the potential. I think a CNC is definitely cleaner but takes longer and I’m not sure about it’s ability to cut perfect angles without a small radius on an inside cut, my laser definitely can.

I also believe that this is the scarph joint represented in profile, I am however slightly puzzled as to why Portland had them and Bristol did not? Bristol was built right after Portland in the same yard. Perhaps Portland was drawn with them but never built that way.

Stifflers Mom… better clean up your sawdust promptly, Frank. Lol.

Hi Rob, I experienced the same thing with the QG door framing, in the end I landed somewhere between the framing drawing and the Portland outboard profile. Looking at my 3D model with the QG in place, it would be extremely difficult to spot an error or discrepancy through the window frame and QG structure.

Allan, I do have the Bristol Drawings but I’m curious to what hi res Portland drawings you have? I have Portland framing plan ZAZ1719 and Portland inboard profile ZAZ1720, these the ones you are referring to? I also have a very high res drawing of Portland profile drawing and body plan ZAZ718. ZAZ1718 has Portland written specifically on the drawing near the mast particulars. It is dated 10th January, 1766 and it matches up very well with the marshal painting of the Portland contemporary model.

There are several differences between the class, as I’ve been designing Portland, the 1st in class, I’ve found several differences between her and Bristol, of course Bristol being the 2nd in class. Length of poop deck and cabins being one major change. Portland shows higher Taft rail which may also contribute to the higher frames you mention. The framing drawing is dated 1776 and although it does mention Europa, Jupiter, Hannibal and Adamant, I believe this is possibly an as built drawing or slight revision as it’s labeled as a copy that was sent out for those listed ships to be built. It did overlay well on my profile drawing of Portland dated 1766.
