mij got a reaction from Archi in HMS Sussex by mij - Scale 1:48
This is the 1st stage of fairing the outside and inside of the hull using a long neck grinder.
This is a fabulous tool to use, but a word of CAUTION, this tool can ruin your model if your not careful.

Started to build up the frames.
The first picture is the full frame drawn on paper with the floor timber and the top timber tacked to the paper using Copydex.
This picture shows the 1st futtock glued to the floor timber and the top timber using Titebond and held in position with 1bl weights.
This picture shows the complete frame, slightly over size for fairing.

mij got a reaction from Archi in HMS Sussex by mij - Scale 1:48
After fitting 8 full foreward frames, I decided that I was not happy with my build, I built the frames oversize and I was to fair them inside and out as Gilbert McArole done on his build.
I used Titebond for all the gluing, so I put my build in a bucket of water to release the glue.
It came apart with the use of a pallet knife between the frames, I will have to re-cut 8 more floor timber, because I had to chisel them out of the deadwood (I did say to myself, mind your fingers, I`ve now got a plaster on my index finge on my left hand).
I will now fair the frames as I fit them, which is the way I mormally build my models and I am much happier with.
First picture of my re-build.
These are 2 of my new Proxxon toys

mij reacted to willz in HMS Victory by willz
Hi everyone, been building a 1/72 scratch Victory for quite a while now. keep going off the boil and back again (is this normal) and at the mo I`m building or trying. I picked the Victory at 1/72 simply for the fact that jokita do a fine example at that scale thus giving me a wealth of top notch parts to add to my scratch, cannons, photo etch, e.t.c.
It will be made as simply as possible with no fancy interior although i am toying with the idea of full cannons on all decks but we will see

Looks like a very interesting build. Don't see too many ships of this era being built. Nice collection of workshop toys too...

I have started to build HMS Sussex 1693 from the plans by Gilbert McArdle, all the frames will be made from tulipwood.
These first two pictures show how I fitted a removable keel by fitting a piece of brass tube into the baseboard and a smaller piece of brass tube to the keel.

Milling the tulipwood for the forward frames
The frame templates are glued to the tulipwood, the glue I use is a non-toxic washable glue stick
