HMS Euryalus by egen -
harvey1847 replied to egen's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1801 - 1850
If I ever finish the Triton (hope so) and after looking the amount of detail of the interior work, I would like to do it again but with no frames at all. When I see the draws of the decks on the AOS series books of any ship in example I think to myself “why not to build this or that deck?” They are beautiful by themselves. The deck beams, the knees, the hatches, ledges, spur beams… One question, Have you round the deck beams or are all “flat”? Good work! I did like the way you lay down all the frames. Daniel. -
It´s Amazing that in one or two months ago from the "crash" we´re all remaking our logs!! Yours has help me a lot. Thanks for posting again!!! Regards. Daniel.

Hello all! Here´s where I am on right now. In order to lay all the frames I have so far, I need to do the keel. Here are the pieces marked with pencil. It has reminded me someway the work I did back in 2011 with the pillars and the joist in my house. It´s amazing how things changed working from 1:1 to 1:48. Good Weekend! Daniel.

And the thing is completed!! HU HA! (Chimo Bayo) Using a piece of glass has been very useful to ensure the whole piece is flat. I took it from a trash bin on the street. It´s amazing what we trash. I guess is this market economy we all live in. I did my way. (Frank Sinatra) I have glued first all the #3 chocks, then I glued the #2 mainpiece to the #5 bobstay, then #1 + #1 gripes and then the whole thing. I have to repeat the #4 piece. Do not Know why but it does not fit. More scrap pieces!! Good Night! Daniel.

Thank you all for answering! Three replies in day is World record in my log... Thanks rocker for the advice. I did just to try and it will not happen again. I hold the piece using my finger nails, actually I look like a guitar player. They are quite helpful. Pete I am not going to simulate the caulking. I´ll do it with the deck planking only. I don´t like the caulking stuff. I hope that with the finish with wax or tung oil (not decide yet) all the lines will come out. The joints are there! Grant, The stern jig was a copy of the John´s and Bublehead logs from MSW 1.0. I separated the top of the upper jig 17.9cm. Jonh separated 16.5cm. If I have had to do it again I would use the three of them not just the upper one. Back to the workshop! (my living room) Thanks! Daniel. info about treenailing (copied from the Matrim´s notes) 1/48 scale Frames, no 61 bit (.039", 1mm), hull planking, no 76 bit (.020" .5mm), deck beams, knees, bitts, etc, no 68 bit (.031" .8mm), and for securing the frames and the keelson, a no 52 bit (.0625" 1.5mm) will do fine.

Hello all and thanks ! (We are just four or five... ) I have stolen a little time just to cut the parts of the stem. My intention is to glue all the four pieces #3 together and then sand and fair them. That´s why I´ve left some extrawood above where they joint with piece #4. Here are the rough cut pieces and the lefties. Then in order to sand them I always ensure the perpendicular of the table sand machine. Here is the tyniest piece I´ve ever sand with the disc sand. And here is the result of sanding. I have to fair them much more. I hope to have some time tomorow and glue the whole thing together. We´ll see. Best wishes! Daniel.

Here´s a link with some photos of the San Felipe completed http://www.modelismonaval.com/galeria/category/75-san-felipe-de-san-martin and here is the homepage of the museum. You can sail on it in english and you can ask for plans. Send me a PM if you´re interested on and I´ll explain you how to get them. Link to the museum: http://www.armada.mde.es/ArmadaPortal/page/Portal/ArmadaEspannola/ciencia_museo/prefLang_en/ And here´s a link with a video (youtube) with a very good music from Master & Comander: Good Good Luck with this endevour!

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.
