alangr4 Posted May 17, 2014 Share #413 Posted May 17, 2014 Wow Rusty when you go the dark side you don't do it by halves do you! Looks like kits have lost you forever. An amazing build and beautifully constructed. Still can't get over the pics of the workouts you gave the Sherline Lathe. Great stuff. What's next for the dark side we all wonder?

Rustyj Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share #414 Posted May 21, 2014 Hi Bob, Thank you for your kind words. Hi Alan, Well you could I say I did do it in halves or in this case about an eighth. Oh scratch building is a lot of fun but I also enjoy a good kit bash here and there too. Already in progress is the HMS Winchelsea a Chuck Passaro design. rek 1 Quote Rusty "So Long For Now" Current Builds: Speedwell Completed Build Logs: HMS Winchelsea 1/48 Duchess of Kingston USF Confederacy , US Brig Syren , Triton Cross Section , Bomb Vessel Cross Section, Cutter Cheerful, Queen Anne Barge, Medway Longboat Completed Build Gallery: Brig Syren , 1870 Mississippi Riverboat , 1949 Chris-Craft 19' Runabout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocBlake Posted July 27, 2020 Share #417 Posted July 27, 2020 Great job on this build, Rusty! I've had these plans forever, and I'm just now spending some time looking at them in more detail. I've got a question, if you don't mind. In looking at how the frame riders are laid out over the keelson, I noticed that they don't sit exactly over the frames, and their spacing is not symmetrical. Therefore the same is true for the mortar pit beams. Any idea why the plans were drawn this way. Check out post 135 in this thread.

Rustyj Posted July 27, 2020 Author Share #418 Posted July 27, 2020 Hi Dave, I hope I understand your question and this helps. I believe that the plans (page 38) you refer in that post are a representation of how the construction would look from a side angle and not a true scale drawing. The floor riders do sit squarely on top of the keelson and the center of the mortar pit beam does too. This is page two of the plans and I believe it shows them lined up. If this isn't what you're referring too please let me know.

DocBlake Posted July 29, 2020 Share #419 Posted July 29, 2020 I think you misunderstood, Rusty! I know that the riders straddle the keelson. My question is their spacing along the keelson, which also determines the location of the mortar pit beams. They are not symetrical, and they don't line up withe the frames. Here is what I mean: The photo is yours. The measurements are the spaces between the mortar pit beams for a 1:32 scale model plans. The arrows show that the beams (and therefore the riders) don't meat up with the underlying frames. Notice the far left beam? I6t straddles two frames, while the far right beam overhangs it's corresponding frame. mtaylor and GrandpaPhil 2 Quote Dave Click on images in posts to view them in full resolution!

Rustyj Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share #420 Posted July 29, 2020 Ok I'm on the same page as you now. Someone who knows more about this can definitely correct me if I'm wrong here. I believe that the frames are more stylized than an exact replica of the actual ship. I also do not know if the mortar pit beams would have had to align with the frames as they sat on the mortar deck clamp and directly over the floor riders for support. As far as the different distances between the clamps on the plans I have no clue. Again they could be stylized or actual representations of the original drawings. That's the best I can come up with given my limited knowledge and no copies of the original drawing. mtaylor and JpR62 2 Quote Rusty "So Long For Now" Current Builds: Speedwell Completed Build Logs: HMS Winchelsea 1/48 Duchess of Kingston USF Confederacy , US Brig Syren , Triton Cross Section , Bomb Vessel Cross Section, Cutter Cheerful, Queen Anne Barge, Medway Longboat Completed Build Gallery: Brig Syren , 1870 Mississippi Riverboat , 1949 Chris-Craft 19' Runabout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
