AnobiumPunctatum Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share #32 Posted August 23, 2015 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 Posted August 24, 2015 Share #33 Posted August 24, 2015 If that is where those timberheads are located, the way you have done it is very convincing. Well done!

AnobiumPunctatum Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share #34 Posted November 20, 2015 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 tadheus, Captain Poison, Fam and 14 others 17 Quote Regards Christian Current build: HM Cutter Alert, 1777; HM Sloop Fly, 1776 - 1/36 On the drawing board: English Ship Sloops Fly, 1776, Comet, 1783 and Aetna, 1776; Naval Cutter Alert, 1777 Paused: HMS Triton, 1771 - 1/48 "Have no fear of perfection - you'll never reach it."

wyz Posted December 24, 2015 Share #40 Posted December 24, 2015 (edited) 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.

AnobiumPunctatum Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share #41 Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) 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.

AnobiumPunctatum Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share #44 Posted January 9, 2016 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.

Martin W Posted January 12, 2016 Share #48 Posted January 12, 2016 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?

AnobiumPunctatum Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share #49 Posted January 12, 2016 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 Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share #50 Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) 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.
