Anthony Hearne Posted July 27, 2024 #992 Posted July 27, 2024 my wife has a cricut , if you give me the details of what you want and the size i can ask her to cut you a stencil mtaylor and AON 2
Kevin Kenny Posted July 27, 2024 Author #993 Posted July 27, 2024 Hi Anthony. thanks for the kind offer but i have already ordered dry transfer for the lettering. Out of curiosity what material would she cut the stencil out of . The height of the lettering is just over 1/4” and the font is any serif font like Times Roman etc THORN. mtaylor 1
Anthony Hearne Posted July 27, 2024 #994 Posted July 27, 2024 its a clear vinyl thats a little sticky mtaylor 1
Kevin Kenny Posted July 28, 2024 Author #995 Posted July 28, 2024 Happy if she can do one for me. mtaylor 1
Kevin Kenny Posted August 1, 2024 Author #996 Posted August 1, 2024 The difference between 1:48 and 1:96 scale. The larger frame is the HMS Ulysses. Thinking about the scale but it worries me about the size of the finish model. ccoyle, Maxthebuilder, billocrates and 4 others 5 2

Thinking about the scale but it worries me about the size of the finish model. Well, it should be the double in all directions: eight times bigger !!! I love the 1/48th scale or the "Quarter of an Inch for a Foot", as they call it. Yves Maxthebuilder, mtaylor, billocrates and 1 other 4
KentM Posted August 1, 2024 #998 Posted August 1, 2024 I would have guessed the large frame at 1:24. billocrates and mtaylor 2
billocrates Posted August 3, 2024 #999 Posted August 3, 2024 (edited) Me too 1/24, however just watched your video so 1/48. Edited August 4, 2024 by billocrates mtaylor 1
Tonphil1960 Posted August 4, 2024 #1000 Posted August 4, 2024 I think the larger scale would be much more impressive when done also easier to work with the larger parts. Yes though, where to put it when done is an issue. billocrates and mtaylor 2

hdrinker Posted Friday at 08:07 PM #1012 Posted Friday at 08:07 PM She’s looking really great Kevin. You’re showing me what it should look like. I’m loving reliving the various steps. Henry KentM and billocrates 2
druxey Posted Friday at 11:27 PM #1013 Posted Friday at 11:27 PM Just catching up with your progress now, Kevin. Coming along! The bitts are vertical to the keel rather than the deck sheer, I believe. (I don't have the plan with me right now.) billocrates 1 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
Kevin Kenny Posted Saturday at 11:42 AM Author #1014 Posted Saturday at 11:42 AM You are correct about the bitt but not sure how i would get that measurement. Its not stuck yet and i will see how i can figure that out. The slope on the main deck is very slight. KentM, PaddyO, AON and 7 others 10
druxey Posted Saturday at 12:39 PM #1015 Posted Saturday at 12:39 PM Not looking after this now could develop into a 'knock on' one of cumulative error. I've had that happen, which is most annoying!

hdrinker Posted yesterday at 12:09 PM #1016 Posted yesterday at 12:09 PM What is the cumulative error that you refer to. I’m assuming you’re speaking about the bow sprit angle? Henry
Kevin Kenny Posted yesterday at 02:16 PM Author #1017 Posted yesterday at 02:16 PM The bowsprit angle on the plans is 23degrees and my model is 21. So it is closer to the top of the stem than it should be. I have tried to change it but its not possible now. This will give me some issues with the figure head if i ever figure out what mine should look like. Right now i do not plan to put one as i have no idea what a THORN figure should look like. I will still carve one when the time comes though. KentM and Ryland Craze 2

Kevin Kenny Posted 23 hours ago Author #1019 Posted 23 hours ago Haha Alan it a wonderful learning curve. The sad thing is that much of what we learn gets lost for those who will follow. I have a written log that records many of my challenges so that when i get asked why i did what i did i and can find the answer. It is also why i have no fear of showing my mistakes in my videos.
