Tempus class 90 & 150 by Keith Simmons - scale 1/32 - Finished


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

        Well, here is another build that is a bit out of my comfort zone but something I had to try. I am building both Yachts at the same time to work out the details on the 90 and apply them to the 150 which I hope to display prominently over my fireplace.. ;)

 

         With some basic dimensions, a scale conversion calculator ( using these numbers as a base line) and some pictures I started by making the deck layouts. The 90 will be 37 1/2" L with a beam of 7" and a draft of 4". The 150 is 46 1/2" L with a beam of 8" and a 5" draft.

 

          As I don't have the classic expertise in hull builds maybe my idea of a floating frame will work, we shall see.Hope everything goes well and I don't disappoint..... :P

 

 

Thanks for looking,  Keith

Are you talking about extra space left from the absence of the keel?

  Making some progress, finally starting to look like something.  After all was said and done the floating frame removal did work. Not sure why that is such a big thing to me, but it was a challenge...lol

 

   Just about ready to place Walnut cabins and run Maple decking.   Here are some progress pics... ;)

 

 

  Thanks for looking in,

  A bit more progress on the 90 sloop, cabins set and decking going in. Decided to follow through with the Walnut inlay in the deck, think it will work... :(

 

  Found out that actually working on 2 hulls at once is harder than I thought. In this case it works out better since I won't make the same mistakes on the 150 ketch..... ;)

 

   Since I built one without a frame, I'm going to attempt a pegged timber frame for the ketch. You'd think I would just learn how to do a real hull construction, but I don't roll that way.... :D

 

 

 

   Thanks for looking in,  Keith

Super nice progress Keith!

 

I love the blue colour you've chosen for the hull. Very nice!

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

Thanks Patrick,

 

   I flip flopped on the color, but beginning to like it myself. I sure am learning some new skills on this project such as working in smaller scale, exciting, can't wait to dive into the ketch.... :)

 Hi all,

          Just a little progress report on the 90. Finally finished installing the Maple decking and painting the hull. On to the mast, rigging and detail work..... ;)

 

 

    Thanks for looking in,    Keith

Hi Keith

 

Nice one.  I reckon you've got the deck planking and deck houses down pat.  Man, they look good.  Great job on the hull, too.

 

You're on a winner, Keith, for sure...I can't wait to see what you're gonna do with the ketch!

 

Cheers

Hi Patrick,

 

    Thank you for the comment, I'm happy with the deck overall, now if I can just keep from screwing it up with all the details left to do...lol.

 

     As for the ketch, I'm just about ready to finalize the hull, then I need to come up with a few design ideas within the Tempus style.

 

  Thanks again, Keith

WOW ! Nice ! great job Keith - love the contrasting wood colors.

Thank you Jack,  I always liked Maple and Walnut together,  Have done many furniture pieces with that combination.  

 

   I think I like these type of ships...... :)

Can't argue with that, Keith. She's a beauty, for sure.

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

Thank you Patrick

 

      I took some liberties with the shape, was trying to make it as sleek as I could without changing the basic design. Now I want to do the same to the cabin and deck layout.  At least I got one of them to look like it should...lol

 

   Thanks again for the kind words, I do value your opinion.....Keith

   Hi all,

        

          A quick progress report on the sloop and ketch.

 

     Just a little bit more work on the sloop such as figuring a way to wire the rails, making a wheel and setting the sails....:)

 

     Finally finished the maple decking and started the cabin structure on the ketch.( after 3 attempts I think this is the final design, will be sure once I paint it...

 

     Thanks for looking in, have a great day,   Keith

Hi Keith

 

Your true skills as trained craftsman definitely shines through, especially with the quality of the joinery and your ability to choose woods which contrast beautifully.

 

Mighty fine!

 

Cheers

Hi Patrick

 

I appreciate your comment, was hoping the ketch would keep it's sleek lines with the addition of the cabin...I think the paint job is going to be critical, nothing to do but go on with fingers crossed....:)

 

Thanks again and have a G'day mate

Hi Keith

 

Amazing.  If truth be told, she's more than a model.  She's a piece of beautiful art.

 

Love it!

 

Cheers

Ahoy Patrick

 

Thanks for the comment, she was a bit of a beast but came out pretty close to what I saw in my head..... ;)

Absolutely cannot believe how far you came in such a short time, I think you might be like Gesapo? the shoemaker in Pinocchio and have little elves come out at night and assist. I will call you a visionary that's where you were when you started, fantastic work kudos scale 1 to 10 a 15. :im Not Worthy:  :im Not Worthy:  :im Not Worthy:
