DECK CLAMPS HAVE BEEN FITTED..I FIRST HEAT BENT A SHEET OF 3/32 BOX ABOUT 1" WIDE AROUND A FORM AND ONCE THAT HAD COOLED DOWN A CARDSTOCK PATTERN FOR THE FORWARD SECTION OF THE DECK CLAMP WASGLUED ON WITH SOME PRITT AND THE PLANK CUT OUT. PROCESS FOR THE THICK STUFF .....SPILE THE BASIC SHAPE AND THEN HEAT BEND AND TWIST TOO THE REQUIRED SHAPE. THE JIG IN THE PHOTOS WAS USED TO BEND THE DECK CLAMPS TO SHAPE FIRST ROW OF THICKSTUFF IN PLACE AND TREENAILED. JUST STARTING THE NEXT THREE ROWS OF THINNER PLANKING. SWEEP PORTS HAVE FINALLY BEEN LINED OUT ASWELL THATS ABOUT IT FOR NOW...THE INEVITABLE "BACK TO WORK" LOOMS LARGE!

yamsterman Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share #248 Posted July 20, 2016 hi carl work always gets in the way! the jig should also prove useful for bending the forward section of the wale strake. lots of sanding coming up though...almost time to fair the outside of the hull. cheers...mick Omega1234, slow2cool, Canute and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamsterman Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share #249 Posted July 20, 2016 hi kurt thanks! took a couple of attempts to get the forward deck clamps to the right profile......the rear section of the lower thickstuff is also awkward. i can highly recommend chucks heat bending method.....no water required....even works on 3/32" thick stock. once the thickstuff and associated planking is laid it will be time to fair the outside.....already had a little play hence the " dust" in acouple of the photos. cheers....mick Omega1234, Canute, slow2cool and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yamsterman Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share #262 Posted August 9, 2016 HI ALL FAIRING OFF THE HULL IS NOW PRETTY MUCH COMPLETE. LAST OF THE THICK STUFF IS BEING FITTED AND TREENAILED . MAST STEPS AND LIMBER BOARDS HAVE ALSO BEEN PERMANENTLY FITTED. JUST A QUICK OBSERVATION WITH REGARDS TO FAIRING. ON THE FORWARD AND AFTERMOST FRAME DRAWINGS THERE ARE NO BOLT POSITIONS INDICATED. BEING PERHAPS OVER KEEN I DECIDED TO FIT BOLTS TO THESE FRAMES. DURING THE FAIRING PROCESS, EVEN THOUGH THE FRAMES HAD THERE BEVELS CUT PRIOR TO BEING INSTALLED, SOME OF THE BOLTS ON A COUPLE OF FORWARD AND AFT FRAMES ARE PERILOUSLY CLOSE TO THE EDGE OF THE FRAME. FOR ANYBODY ELSE CONTEMPLATING BUILDING THIS MODEL I WOULD SUGGEST LEAVING THESE BOLTS OFF. FORTUNATELY I THINK THE WALE STRAKE AND LOWER STRAKE OF PLANKING WILL COVER THESE UP. BECAUSE OF THE PRECUTTING OF THE FRAME BEVELS FAIRING TURNED OUT TO BE REASONABLY STRESS FREE. I DID HOWEVER MANAGE TO LOOSEN ONE GUNPORT SILL AND BREAK OF A PART OF THE UPPER STERN FRAMING......NICE CLEAN BREAK SO EASY AND CLEAN TO FIX. FAIRING WAS ACHIEVED WITH SOME 80 GRIT PERMAGRIT GLUED TO A ONE INCH QUADRANT MOULDING FOR THE INITIAL ROUGH WORK AND THEN WITH PROGRESSIVLY FINER GRADES DOWN TO 240 GRIT. ONCE THE FINAL PIECES OF THICKSTUFF HAVE BEEN INSTALLED AND TREENAILED I AM GOING TO MOVE TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE HULL AND FIT THE WALES AND UPPER PLANKING BEFORE CARRYING ON WITH ANY MORE INTERNAL WORK. THATS ABOUT ALL FOR NOW. PHOTOS ATTACHED...WARTS AN ALL....FOR YOUR DELICTATION. CHEERS....MICK P.S. THE LAST PHOTO IS OF THE HULL SITTING ON ITS KEEL.......ITS STABLE AND DOSNT FALL ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.........SYMETRY ACHIEVED?????????.......ISH??????? cog, Canute, Mirabell61 and 12 others 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yamsterman Posted August 10, 2016 Author Share #268 Posted August 10, 2016 hi carl she is pretty small for 1/48 scale........might just make up a frame for triton or echo just to see the comparison. the fairing was straightforward because of the precut bevels on the frames as they were installed. may have been a bit heavy handed in places but it should work out ok.........i hope. lots more dust and shavings to make today! cheers....mick Omega1234, mtaylor, Canute and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Y Posted August 10, 2016 Share #269 Posted August 10, 2016 Looks great! The bolts are tricky, luckily you just got close to them.

yamsterman Posted August 10, 2016 Author Share #270 Posted August 10, 2016 hi mike thanks! the 80 grit was only for the very basic profiling..........my nerves wouldnt stand too much use!!!!! The bolts that are a little too close to the frame edges will be covered by the wale and top planking so should work out ok in the end. cheers.....mick Canute, Omega1234 and mtaylor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
