woodrat got a reaction from Salty Sea Dog in Venetian Carrack or Cocha by woodrat - FINISHED - 1/64
I am unhappy with two things on my previous model:
1. the tumblehome aft of centre is insufficient
2. There is a more horizontal run of planking to the fashion piece and a more vertical run to the sternpost leading to a more complex shape to the stern.
I will modify the full hull version accordingly

The quarterdeck beams also project through the side planking
Progress on the poop and quarterdeck
note the characteristic vertical timbers on the ships hull to give extra rigidity and protection to the hull

Some progress. Keel, stempost and sternpost in place and bulkheads positioned..

woodrat got a reaction from Elmer Cornish in Le Gros Ventre 1767 by woodrat - Scale 1:48 - POF - French exploration vessel
Here are the outer hawse pieces in process of installation. This has got to be the most tedious part of the build! I think it will be worth it
Merry Xmas all.

sorry I have been off-line for some time, but not idle. Have now made a start on the bow section. This shows the shaping of the first and second hawse pieces - closest to the stem post
The first hawse pieces in place.
More to follow soon.

The modification of the stempost is relatively minor and would make it resemble both Oliveira's plan and the Trombetta manuscript more closely.

woodrat reacted to AnobiumPunctatum in Naval Cutter Alert by AnobiumPuncatum - Scale 1/36 - POF
My holidays are over so the progress is much slower than before.
I did the keelson before building the frames. So it is in my opinion much easier to adjust it with the fore and after deadwood.
Before glueing the keelson on the backbone It take a long time. All frames have to be installed first.
Today I worked on my first frame. It took quite long to find my way to build the frame. The result is not perfect, but I think doing the next frames will be much easier and faster. If it's interesting for someone I will do a step by step description from building one of the next frames.

Thanks, Crackers, I have done just that and await a reply.

I agree, I have delved into a few of these dissertations and they are a goldmine. Courageous decision, by the way, about your Licorne. Sometimes it is better to "screw your courage to the sticking place" and get on with things.

Before I get too involved with rigging, I have to build the full hull . This is new to me as I have never done a POB model before. Nor have I designed one. I am making this up as I go along. I hope you guys will forgive any egregious errors and make suggestions as I go.
Here goes, this is the central bulkhead support with the backbone of the ship

the TAMU files are a wonderful resource and we must be grateful to them for making them available to lubbers like us
Here are the lines of the carrack to date

Yep, I did consider it but decided against it. Please see previous posts for the reasons.
Yes, Crackers, there is guesswork but it is also detective work with many clues and many suspects
here are some preliminary lines, which will be cleaned up.
