HM Sloop Fly by AnobiumPunctatum - 1:32 - POF

[AnobiumPunctatum]

Ed, thanks for the explanation

[AnobiumPunctatum]

I've finished the "Disposition of Frames" drawing.

 

 

I am not quite happy with the position of the timberheads between station line 17 and 19. But this is the position I got from the As Built plan of the Fly.

 

Next I will built my building board and start with the model.

[druxey]

If that is where those timberheads are located, the way you have done it is very convincing. Well done!

[AnobiumPunctatum]

Today I've finished the drawing work for the frames. 55 frames and 26 cant frames are a lot stuff, which I have to build now.

 

The following picture shows frame 10a for example.

 

 

Now I have to clean up my work room and prepare the building board. I hope I've nothing forgotten so that I can make sawdust and start the build of my model

[albert]

Hi Cristian very nice drawings.

[AnobiumPunctatum]

All frames are drawn and I started to build the keel.

 

Thanks for your interest and

 

and a Happy New Year

[druxey]

Froliche Weihnachten, also! Best wishes for the coming year as well.

Hi Christian

 

I have been following your log. It is good news that you have started the actual build.

We would like to see some photos of your build as well

 

Merry Christmas

Christian! Merry Christmas you too!!! Happy New Year for all!!!

[wyz]

Christian   Drawings look great and you're all set to start.  Wonderful!  I was very impressed with all the pre-build stuff you did; so well thought out.  Like so many others I too will be following this build.  Let the sawdust fly! ..... into a dust filter of course.  Lastly, I would like to wish you and all you love the best Christmas, and may the new year be all you want it to be.

 

Merry Christmas,

Tom

The building board for my model is finished. I use a design really similiar to that what Ed has shown in chapter 4 of his HMS Naiad build log.

 

For my building board I used 12mm birch plywood. The base board has a size of 120 x 50 cm. For the supporting bars I've chosen a height of 10 cm.

 

On the baseboard I screwed 4 boards from 6mm birch plywood to fix two aluminum rails because I don't have a mill to cut the gap for these. For the centerline I inked one longitudinal edge of the middle plates with black acrylic paint. After brushing the surface with white acrylic paint the center line was made visible with a scalpel blade that was dragged along the edge.

Christian, how big is the hull on this model (length between perpendiculars)?  This is to 3/8"=1' correct?

This is to 3/8"=1'

 

Yes, that's correct. The length between the perpendiculars is 923.44 mm (approximate 3ft)

The keel is laid down.

The picture shows the current version compared with the old keel in 1/48.



Due to the larger scale it is much easier to display small details such as the treenails to scale correctly.



The next steps in the construction of the complete keel arrangement are the same as described in my old build log. I will only change some smaller details.

Hi Christian, fantastic work.

Thanks a lot for the Likes and Your interest.

[Martin W]

Nice work, and I certainly understand the desire to work in the larger scale.  But don't I spy some treenails in the smaller version?

 

Cheers,

 

Martin

[AnobiumPunctatum]

Thanks, Dirk and Martin.

 

@Martin

 

Yes. I also mad treenails from pear veneer also in the smaller scale. But it's a lot more difficult, because the treenails broke very fast.. They are around 0.7mm; the new ones are around 0.95mm. In this scale I have much less waste.

[AnobiumPunctatum]

Continuing the assembly of the stem..
 

I used temporarily spacers to fit the Knee of the Head, which is only 10'' thick, to the stem.

Next I shaped the Knee of the Head using the info David Antscherl gives in his books. After this I glued the completed assembly to the stem. Therfore I used brass pins and the earlier descriped spacer. At last I shaped the competed stem to the hopefully right thickness.

 

In the moment I work on the lower apron and the rising wood.

Thank you very much for the Likes and the nice words.

[gjdale]

Lovely joinery Christian!

[EdT]

Lovely work, Christian.  This should be an impressive model at 3/8" to a foot.  I look forward to seeing you progress.

 

Ed

[wyz]

At 1:32 scale you should be able to build an enormous amount of detail into the model.

Grant, Ed, Tom,

 

thank you very much.
