Dan Vadas Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share #70 Posted January 9, 2016 Thank you all for the kind comments. The Internal Planking is completed up to the level of the lower deck. I'm using Castello Boxwood for all the planking. This pic shows the lower and upper Deck Clamps. These are in "Top and Butt" configuration, sometimes referred to as "Anchor Stock Planking". The clamps are 4" (scale) thick at the top, thinning to 3" at the bottom of each pair. They are 14" wide at the widest point, tapering to 6" at the narrowest : More of the "special" planks. Starting nearest the keel is the 4 1/2" thick Inner Limber Strake, followed by the 3" Outer Limber Strake. Next set is the "Thickstuff over the floorheads" - the central strake is 4 1/2" thick and the two either side of it are 3". Further up are the "Thickstuff at the first futtock head" which are the same thicknesses as the previous set. I'm laying the first of the 2" thick regular "Ceiling Planks" in this pic : All the port side internal planking completed. The starboard side only gets the Limber Strakes and Deck Clamps : Treenailing has begun. I'm using 0.55mm bamboo which has been stained black : Danny AntonyUK, Landrotten Highlander, GuntherMT and 31 others 34 Quote Cheers, Danny ________________________________________________________________________________ Current Build : Forced Retirement from Modelling due to Health Issues Build Logs : Norfolk Sloop HMS Vulture - (TFFM) HMS Vulture Cross-section 18 foot Cutter Concord Stagecoach 18th Century Longboat in a BOTTLE CARD Model Build Logs : Mosel Sydney Opera House (Schreiber-Bogen) WWII Mk.

Greg the peg leg sailor Posted January 9, 2016 Share #71 Posted January 9, 2016 G'day Danny You aren't slack mate, I am! It's been a quite a time since I've looked at your post and I'm so sorry about that. Well mate, like you usual standards in construction and your great log-a-lesson, I'm not disappointed when I have looked over your updates.

druxey Posted January 10, 2016 Share #75 Posted January 10, 2016 Nice going, Dan. Small point: top and butt is not quite the same thing as anchor stock. In the former the 'arms' of the pieces are of unequal length, usually 2:1 ratio, whereas the latter has equally tapered 'arms'. gjdale, mtaylor, Dan Vadas and 5 others 8 Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Vadas Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share #76 Posted January 13, 2016 Thank you for the comments Greg, John, Albert, Neale and Druxey - much appreciated. Small point: top and butt is not quite the same thing as anchor stock. In the former the 'arms' of the pieces are of unequal length, usually 2:1 ratio, whereas the latter has equally tapered 'arms'. Thanks for the clarification Druxey . Treenailing has finished for a while - there were about 750 in this section. I used 1 1'4" (scale) "nails" in the thicker timbers, and 3/4" in the Footwaling. No finish has been applied yet : The Keelson is bolted through the Keel with a Lip Bolt to each frame : The Mainmast Step is substantial - 1'10" x 1'8" in section, and 5'3" long. I cut and chiselled the under face to fit the Limber Strakes : The completed step.

Dan Vadas Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share #84 Posted January 14, 2016 Thanks guys . for your next masterpiece I will expect to see a fully functioning chain pump.... Don't hold your breath waiting Pat - I don't have enough chain links to go round . How many shots did you take after all those treenails? Enough . The Mast Step isn't actually bolted to the keel, to allow the mast to be raked fore or aft as the need arose.

Dan Vadas Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share #89 Posted January 16, 2016 I like your combination of woods so far. They're pretty much the same as the wood in your Echo Cross-section Maury . The stanchions for the Well are mortised into the underside of two of the beams : The bottoms of the stanchions are shaped to fit the limber strakes, and I've used 0.8mm treenails to locate them in position. The beams are only spot-glued into position at this stage, as they and the well will need removing again after I get the first few side timbers fitted to the well stanchions. I'll build the rest of the well and shot-locker on the bench before re-installing the assembly : All the mortices for the Carlings, Beam Arm and Mast Partner have been cut into the beams : Danny tlevine, Seventynet, ggrieco and 26 others 29 Quote Cheers, Danny ________________________________________________________________________________ Current Build : Forced Retirement from Modelling due to Health Issues Build Logs : Norfolk Sloop HMS Vulture - (TFFM) HMS Vulture Cross-section 18 foot Cutter Concord Stagecoach 18th Century Longboat in a BOTTLE CARD Model Build Logs : Mosel Sydney Opera House (Schreiber-Bogen) WWII Mk.
