Bomb Vessel Granado by Rustyj - FINISHED - 1:24 - cross-section


Recommended Posts

I’m still chugging along with assembling the frames. Slow but steady she goes.

 

Here are a few more done and test fitted to the keel and framing jig.

What a massive frames!

 

You might need a crane to rise them and put´em in place...

 

At that scale the amount of detail you are going to put on her is going to be amazing! I cannot imagine myself working at that scale. There´s something magic when you see a model of that dimensions in a museum.

 

Best wishes.

Thanks Daniel.

 

A crane might not be a bad idea. I think I may get a hernia when it come to taking it

out of the framing jig. :huh: Still plugging along here finishing and fitting frames.

Thanks druxey.

 

When making the double frames the plans show a single treenail on each side of the

joint at the chocks. The size came very close to 3/32”. I used a standard dowel that I

had at that size for the treenail. And no I don’t have a drawplate that size. :P

Hey thanks to all of you for your interest and support. :)

 

Yeah Ben, Gregs methods were a big help.

 

Big Frames, Big treenails, Big piles of saw dust! 

 

Oh yeah and a big pile of frames too!

Rusty, beautiful work as usual, what is that plan behind that big stack o frames?

 

Yes, inquiring minds want to know.

Thanks all,

 

Very observant. Those plans have shown up in many a picture over the years. The plans are

for the OcCre Cazador Xebec which I have been tinkering with on and off over the last three years.

The hull and deck are planked. I figure at the rate I’m going it will be done sometime in 2016! ;)

 

Hi Chris, Well it’s too early to tell. One thing I know is you don’t have to worry as much about snapping

a frame when they are ½” thick and I swear you could stand on them. Cutting joints and chocks were a

lot easier too but the scroll saw work to cut them out took three times as long and I went through a whole

lot more blades. Another thing is if you make a mistake in a joint it is compounded by the size. What would

be a paper thin gap on the Echo could be very wide on this build.

 

I can see why people would like the larger scale though. We shall see.

Thank you Rob.

 

Well I’ve installed all of the frames. After fine tuning them so they sat correctly it

was just a matter of gluing one in place, waiting for the glue to set then repeat.

To strengthen the frames for when I remove the cross section from the framing jig I

glued blocks between the frames at the area of the wales and then at the tops of

the frames.

 

post-43-0-49290000-1380765136_thumb.jpg

 

I also thought about installing blocks between the frames at the keel but instead I

drilled through the frames into the keel and glued in a dowel. Now those frames

aren’t going anywhere.

Next up will be a lot of sanding the frames to fair it up. I’ll start with the inboard while

it’s still in the framing jig and install some of the interior framing and clamps to strengthen

it even more.

 

Well I’m off on a short vacation so I’ll be away from a computer. Hopefully the withdrawal

pains won’t be too severe! :o
