Hola Daniel,
I really appreciate the site you added to your post. I looked over the hold details and I thought every single item was excellently represented in a ship of that time frame. Once again thank you for the link.
Greetings and Salutations Matrim,
I appreciate the kudos for the pictures. I just thought that if I was someone else looking at my progress, I would like to see it from different angles to really get a feel for what actually drives someone to spend many hours on some areas that would likely get overlooked. I mean take the single hand pump I made for the Triton. I spent about an hour and a half on that single item and I really like the way she came out.

Greetings to all,
The newest update to my Triton consists of planking around the gun ports both inboard and outboard (to include the outboards trim moldings). I’ve also completed the gun deck’s section of planking over the chain pump casing well, permanently attached both main topsail sheet bitts. I constructed the chain pump, one of the two hand pumps leading down the well, and installed the gun deck’s grating. I’ve also placed the first quarterdeck beam as a means of establishing how it is going to look once I get started on its.
Now here is my dilemma, in a couple of photos below you will see a couple of 7/8” barrels I purchased in Hobby Lobby. At this scale, the barrels will be equal to 42” in height which I believe are ideal size for the storage of the ships freshwater supply. My question is, did the Triton have platforms in its hold area? I ask because I believe that it will add for more details in the hold’s area and at the same time allow for the storage of barrels.

Greetings to all,
Many thanks to all for your kind words. Please excuse me for not posting lately. I just feel as if I don’t have enough to post, then I should continue to work on my model until I do have enough. Now that being said, here it goes.
I last left off with just the lower deck planked, lower deck hanging knees, and ladder going into the lower hold complete. Since I’ve only been working small items at a time, I’ve managed to install the hold pillars, add the gun deck beams (which have been planked to include the waterway and spirketting). Added the gun deck hanging knees, coamings for the gun deck hatch and ladder way, and made the main topsail sheet bitts.
I plan to make the gun deck stanchions, quarterdeck clamps and beam, and start planking around the gun ports over the weekend. The following photos will show you what she is starting to look like.

Greetings to all,
Well I said I would finish the lower deck by this week in order to get started on the gun deck but for some strange reason I find myself shying away from the hanging knees. I know that I have to get them done and incorporate them into my model. What I will do is follow Arthur’s suggestion and mount and secure my rotary tool onto a base frame and use it as a spindle sander to sand my hanging knees into shape. You may all wonder, “If Ray isn’t working on the hanging knees, then what in the heck is he doing?” Well I’m glad you asked. I am currently planking the port side of my model below the wales and she is starting to look rather sexy. The following pictures will show you what I’m talking about.

Greetings to all,
Well, where to begin. I know it’s been a while since my last post but I must confess that I’ve only been working on my model for one to two hours a day or at the very least every other day. Guess what, that adds up pretty quickly and before I knew it I was already getting started on the second deck. I am currently pulling a 24-hour shift at my job and after I got here, I realized that the gun deck I had already started stayed at the house and I was not able to get any more work on it. So I concentrated on finishing all of the ledges, add the louvers on the lower deck, plank the lower deck, install the hatch coaming, make and place the ladder to the lower hold area (which I thought I needed hence its placement), add limber boards against the keelson, and finally finish the outboard planking. All of my planking received simulated tree nails by using an awl to mark the location and following up with a pencil. The following photos will show you where I am so far.
P.S. I forgot to mention that I've also added the hanging knees on the lower deck (Hooray).

Hello Ray, the question should be "what the heck he is NOT doing?" You´re about to get the speed world record building the Cross Section!!
Your tenacious is amazing.
Good luck with the hanging knees...
