Rustyj Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share #61 Posted September 18, 2013 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. mtaylor, Pete38, augie and 7 others 10 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...
harvey1847 Posted September 19, 2013 Share #62 Posted September 19, 2013 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. Daniel. Quote In the shipyard: HMS Triton 1773. POF. 1:48. Daniel On the computer: R.A. Principe de La Paz.

Rustyj Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share #63 Posted September 23, 2013 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. Still plugging along here finishing and fitting frames.

Rustyj Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share #65 Posted September 23, 2013 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. Almost done making frames! dnputnam, Kevin, mtaylor and 5 others 8 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...

rafine Posted September 23, 2013 Share #67 Posted September 23, 2013 Wow -- a 3/32" treenail. That really puts the size of those frames in some perspective. They are looking very good.

ChrisLBren Posted September 25, 2013 Share #75 Posted September 25, 2013 How are you liking the scale Rusty ? Some swear building larger is easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustyj Posted September 25, 2013 Author Share #76 Posted September 25, 2013 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.

Rustyj Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share #81 Posted October 3, 2013 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. 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!
