Hi Everyone! Still alive... Here´s a device I built to make the rabet. It worked well with the timber that goes straight but I had to work very carefully when the wood had the grain cross like in the inner post. Here´s the sketch. I finally change the blade. Instead of the X-acto I put the one showed in the pics. Here are the materials I used... the wood is from a trash bin from the street, was an Ikea don´t Know what. The glue is two components type epoxi (quite expensive) The same one I used to make the stern jig to glue the iron to the base. No picture of the device, but I think the sketch talks by itself. I´ll edit this. Hope to finish the hull soon. I am getting quite excited with this project. Need to start with all the interior work and the Knees, ledges, beams, bottles of Grog... Best wishes and happy June! Daniel.

Way to go Rocker! It is amazing the amount of wood that a disc sander eats so do not worry about leaving one or two milimeters of "extrameat". I cut mine in this way and is more relaxing than trying to go exactly throuhg the line of the pattern. Like the "left" and "right" literature on the patterns. I started writing P.S and S.B. trying to be an erudite and all became a mess. Now I just put a P.S (port side) (right) and nothing on the other one. I don´t Know why but I do not follow the rule of "Keep it simple". By the way yesterday I glued all the patterns till frame -W-. It has been a tedious work for me. Best wishes Rocker and keep going! Daniel.

Hello Guy Christian and All! Lots of work arround and no time for the hobby. I have the wood at home since three weeks... Christian, I have those plans. As I said I will change some things. I was much more worry about the knees, carlings and ledges but then I started to draw the storerooms an try to realize how the thing could be done. I´ll change the Capstain store and leave it as the original and the size of the squares of the magazine. Hope to have some time during the weekend. I need to complete all the frames. I am willing to start with all the interior work. Thanks all. Here are the plans I have. They are pretty pretty small. Quarter Deck & Fore Castle - Upper Deck. Lower Deck - Aft & Fore plattforms. Best wishes. Daniel.

Beautyful color Rusty! Is it that blood wood ? What a nice contrast between the beams and those hatches... Daniel.

Hello Grant! Really nice machine. I guess you´re going to save a lot a of money by doing the rope by yourself. Can I ask you to post a sketch of the whole system? I do not understand how the thing works, specially why they are fix to the table the machines or if they move with a rail or something. Just a hand made sketch. Coukld you? Best wishes! Daniel.

Hello All! Thanks Mark, Christian and Pete for the answers has been very helpful. Here are the timber I have asked for...: .- Frames (10 more to go), deck beams,carlings, ledges, Knees: Cherry. .- Bulkwarks and planking: Maple and "Coto" (No translation for this but it is a white wood) .- Decks: Maple. .- Hatches and various: Mahogany and "Pachyloba" .- pillars and others: Walnut. .- bulkheads: Ramin That´s all. Waiting to see all of it at my log. The attached files are just an "storyboard" to follow. I will probably change some things when the time to build might come. I use Ed Tosti (part 33) log, Wang´s log and the AOS book about the HMS Diana. So do not take it as a reference. My intention was just to draw the internal structure with the Knees, carlings and ledges but once you start to draw, one thing gets you to another and you end drawing the rum bottles... Best wishes!

Hello all! I am waiting for your answers about the timber you have used... I have been talking with the wood supplier, here in Spain, and is going to be quite difficult to find the Holly timber. arrgh! Meanwhile I am with the CAD drawing the decks. God! this project is getting quite complicated. At the same time is giving me lots of beautyful moments trying to figure out how the deck arrangement were done. Here is the pdf file (1:48) I am going to follow in order to complete the fore plattform. If it is helpful for you it is okey. Is the one I am going to follow by myself. Wang´s log and other sources has been very very helpful. Cheers! Daniel. P.S. I have edit this post adding a pdf showing the differences between the original plan an the one, I insist, I am going to do (hope so). The other one is a new version with no deck clamps.

Thank you very much for the pictures Rusty! Can you tell us the size of the ledges and the carlings? I am studing right now the plans of the decks and I can´t see these pieces around... at least in the plans I have for the complete model. I am using the book of the AOS series about the HMS Diana to figure out how to do the decks. Thanks again. Good work. Daniel. p.s. now I can see a little gap on pic number...

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.
