Beef Wellington reacted to alde in HMS Jason by Beef Wellington - Caldercraft - 1:64 - Artois-class frigate modified from HMS Diana 1794
That's an absolutely beautiful build Jason. It's an inspiration.

Beef Wellington reacted to BANYAN in HMS Jason by Beef Wellington - Caldercraft - 1:64 - Artois-class frigate modified from HMS Diana 1794
Stunning work Jason; very nicely detailed with clean sharp finishes. I have to agree with your choice on the 'gingerbread', the Georgian detail looks the part - she is looking very good indeed mate.
cheers

Fantastic Jason, she's looking great.

Beef Wellington got a reaction from Canute in Swan class 3D model in progress
Denis - just so you know, I find myself continually coming back to look at these pictures as they really show a level of detail just not normally seen on even the most perfectly executed models. So looking forward to being able to access somehow the complete library.
Given the state of 3D printing, wouldn't it be nice if one could just hit 'print'....maybe one day

I just couldn't resist. does this mean I'm officially hooked on ship building?

Beef Wellington reacted to Chuck in Pegasus 1776 by Chuck - 1:48 - Swan-class sloop cross-section
I have been swamped with trying to rebuild my inventory before the Connecticut show. But yes I have made some progress but nothing really new. I basically have caught up to where I was on the earlier version. This is where I am at right now. The good news is that I have completed the set up in shop for some serious model building after the show. I am ready to go and have set up an area to take better pictures.....hopefully. Right now everything is kind of thrown onto the same table....as you can see.

Thank you guys. I wanted to show the test set up with one of the actual cherry frames in position. This will be an actual frame I use on the model as opposed to the other tests I posted. This final version is slightly different in that it is done with chocks. You can see the chock between the futtock and toptimber . Its is not an actual chock but it is impossible to tell the difference. I just used a laser etched line to complete the appearance of a chock and it only shows on one side of the frame. This is important for the outside frames because it completes the look of actual framing practices. But the other side just shows the simple scarf joint.
The frames will be so close together that you wont be able to see that. To complete the simulation, I just drew a line with a very sharp pencil along the inboard edge of the frame. This will have to be redone once the inboard frames are faired but you can see how nice it looks. It will make the open framed port side look really authentic. Especially after treenailing is done. If you really wanted to, you could complete the illusion on the other side of each frame with a pencil...but seriously it would be impossible to see.

Beef Wellington got a reaction from Piet in Eagle of Algier 1753 by Mirabell61 - FINISHED - 1:48 - Chebec - Nils Langemann
Hi Niles, catching up on your progress can't believe how you accomplish so much so quickly! The rigging on this ship is fascinating a makes a nice change from the usual 19th century warships. Beautiful and innovative work as usual, love the details you've put on.

Beef Wellington got a reaction from Piet in Licorne 1755 by mtaylor - 3/16" scale - French Frigate - from Hahn plans - Version 2.0 - TERMINATED
Of course everything is looking good! One thing that jumped out at me was the ladders in your earlier post, looks like there are two ladders coming up from lower deck, one port and one starboard, looks to be a very challenging setup to avoid accidents if both sides are being used simulataneously and doesn't seem to leave much headroom space when coming up - do you know if that is a unique French design?

Beef Wellington reacted to korablik1979 in Carving from Belgorod
Hello everybody.
For a long time I could not show anything new. Unfortunately. Now in my life there are big changes and I had to change my place of residence with my family. So far, new circumstances and conditions are very unusual and very different from what I'm used to. Now I do not have the opportunity to go online regularly. Therefore, I immediately want to apologize that I can not respond quickly to comments. Do not be offended, I do not ignore your comments, and I will definitely answer as soon as a good opportunity appears.
Over the years, I was busy with another project. I really liked it, I enjoyed working with this order. But now I will not show what I got after the finish. I will show a small fragment. Maybe someone can find out or guess what kind of figure it is. The only clue from me - this ship knows everything!
Sincerely, Alexander

Beef Wellington reacted to robdurant in HMS Ethalion 1797 by robdurant - FINISHED - Caldercraft - 1:64 - Modified from HMS Diana 1794 kit
Another brief update... more work on the quarter galleries.
The quarter galleries are a little proud at the moment, but I will be adding a strip for the tafferal (?) so this should fill in that space. It will also neaten the edge of the stern lights. These photos do give an idea of how tricky all the angles are... there's another block to go beneath the one already in place, and then the metal casting below that... On top, there are two more blocks... each has to be carefully shaped, and then duplicated on the other side. I've replaced the four walnut parts per side with two 6mm box parts (although it did feel a little wrong painting it!) Nothing's glued in place yet.
I've also filled the grain and painted the stern transom.
Happy building!

Beef Wellington reacted to Ferit in Frigate Berlin by Ferit KUTLU - Corel - 1/40 - 1674
Hi,
Thank you; Jason and who visits and who likes...
I can produce only very limited updates...
Homemade blocks of 4 mm, work on bowsprit mast, blocks, shrouds, some rigging lines...

Beef Wellington reacted to Mike Y in Beavers Prize 1777 by Mike Y - 1:48 - POF - Hahn style
Thanks a lot for comments and likes!
Let's make some epoxy mess first:
Plane it:
Sand it:
The result is silky smooth, even before any finish!
After two coats of OSMO Polyx finish, I finally connected all wiring and permanently glued the case in place. There is no way back!
Oh, I also have a model of a ship, need to show it in the build log every now and then, as is tradition:
Now just a bunch of small things are left - install the skirt, carefully plane/sand everything to get rid of any gaps, make holes for light controls, finish sand and refinish everything.

The floor is completed! I had no extra wood, every single plank was used, just a few cutoff pieces remaining. That was close!
Now need to fill some gaps with epoxy, cross fingers and plane it smooth!

Beef Wellington reacted to Erebus and Terror in HMS Terror by Erebus and Terror - FINISHED - Scale 1:48 - POB - as fitted for polar service in 1845
Hello There Folks,
Some great news involving the OcCre model; we have reached an agreement and they are providing full attribution of my research and plans (even on the packaging).
More info here, including a chance to win a model kit!
https://buildingterror.blogspot.ca/2018/04/building-your-own-hms-terror.html
Now after all this diversion...back to my own model!
Cheers,
E&T
P.S. Yesterday was the 171st anniversary of the desertion of HMS Terror and Erebus.

Since I'm working on the fireplaces, here's a picture now that the iron bars the pots sit on have been installed. I still have the exterior to plank and the pots to make. The flash made them redder than then actually are as they're more of a red-brown or rust color. I wanted them to look like they had been used.

I've updated the template above to include a former for the aft edge to provide support for the top and bottom templates.
quartergalleries_templates.pdf
So, here are the first attempt at the new quarter galleries... I pritt-sticked the templates to the parts on 1mm ply and cut them out (scissors and craft knife), then soaked the fascia and fixed it round a metal cutlery pot to bend it to shape... Soaking the fascia took the paper off, and I managed to build the starboard quarter gallery with the window part upside down! The effect was to make the curve upwards even more pronounced - it really looked odd... I didn't take a photo, but trust me, it was all wrong It didn't take along to get it fixed.
I'm much happier with the line... the windows are perhaps a little large - I need to have a re-measure - but I don't think they look out of place. (Note the upper counter is a card mockup and the masking tape came unstuck as I took these photos... ) The black and the white fuzz you can see is the remnants of the paper templates.
Also, this evening I finally got round to it and tidied my boat building space.... (will wonders never cease!)
