Hello Johann. I was asking around about how to make the hammock cranes and was told to check your log on pages around 17. 1st, I hope to have a fraction of the patients you have some day!

 

Regarding your table saw. Does it tilt? Where did you get it, what make and model...ect? I appreciate it. And your work. WOW!

Norwegian Sailing Pram 1:12 Scale. 2nd boat in the learning series.

 

 

In Dry Dock:

Muscongus Bay Lobster Smack. 1:24 scale. Model Shipways, 3rd in the learning series.

Not sure what'll be next, probably the Santa Maria by Artesania Latina 1:65 scale. Unless someone has a better suggestion for a beginner.

Pride of Baltimore. Model Shipways. Clipper used in the war of 1812.

Black Falcon. Mantua Model. 18 century corsair brig.

CSS. Alabama. E. Manolie? Can't read the font. Build in Liverpool in 1862 for use in the American Civil War by the Confederates. Steam and sail, sloop of war.

 

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

A baseball cap my Dad wore.

Hello,

 

this table saw is a self-made. Made from an excellent modeller, who posts in the forum here.

His name is Alex.  Contact

The saw can not tilt it.

 

By the way, thanks for the nice words.

Hello,

 

the question relating to the mounting of the gun port lids I could now finally clarify with the help of a forum colleagues.
In the painting of Horace Vernet is clearly at the bottom gun port lid a hook recognizable as such (yellow arrow).

post-763-0-50174900-1407476460_thumb.jpg

Furthermore, in the Monograph La Creole 1827 by J. Boudriot on page 96 can be found, that the upper lid with 4 hooks has been fixed.

post-763-0-79757800-1407476396_thumb.jpg

So there were a total of six hooks for attachment to a gun port.
This was implemented by me immediately at the battle station.

post-763-0-15058600-1407476372_thumb.jpg

In addition, 48 hook with eyelet for the model I have to make.

Hi there,

Today I show the construction of channels and chain plates.

Always a sample test on the cross-section.
Here the corresponding detailed drawing:

Immaculate as always Johann. Just lovely! While I appreciated Druxey's translation, I didn't need it to appreciate the meticulous quality and attention to detail of your work.

Hi Grant,
I appreciate your kind words.

 

... and so it goes on:

The reinforcement (flat iron) for the supporting knee I made out of brass sheet 0.2 mm.
The support of the channel (round iron bars) was made ​​of brass wire with a diameter of 0.9 mm.

 

The second attempt for a support for the channel can be seen in the picture. This is made of a round brass bar having a diameter of 1.5 mm. This is too massive, unrealistic.

post-763-0-31947300-1408858578_thumb.jpg

 

In the next step, these pieces are browned and then mounted.

Hi there,

and here the further implementation of the details for the
channel and the chain plates.
The sample section is now complete.
The now proven details I build further on the overall model.

Hello,

today I want to show you how I have made the fittings for the ventilation hatches with portholes.
These vents are located on the lower deck, as can be seen in the following pictures.

post-763-0-56738200-1411678761_thumb.jpg

 

The other images show step by step the process.

Hi Mark,

thanks for your kind words.

 

Here is a little update, with other metal fittings for the outboard walls of the French corvette.

I hope you enjoy the pictures.

This can happen sometimes.

post-763-0-09188100-1412092491_thumb.jpg

 

Here's a look into my sorting box with various fittings.
In this case also the support for the anchor and the boat davits are seen.

post-763-0-47358100-1412092534_thumb.jpg

 

Here you can see a scupper valves.

post-763-0-72977500-1412092510_thumb.jpg

 

The eye bolts to mount outboard.

post-763-0-46383400-1412092559_thumb.jpg

 

Drilling the bolt holes with a diameter of 0.3 mm drill is a very delicate affair. For one of these fittings 8 holes are to be performed.

post-763-0-02115300-1412092589_thumb.jpg

 

Finally, an overview.
