Randy Posted March 27, 2013 #1 Posted March 27, 2013 In the next few days I will get some pictutres posted of where I am at now. I lost a hard drive about six months ago and so also lost all of the pictures of my build. I have the gun deck beams, knees, carlings and ledges in. Also some deck planking and furniture. Right now I am planking the inner bulwarks. Lets get this triton thread active. Randy harvey1847 and mtaylor 2

the learner Posted May 12, 2013 #12 Posted May 12, 2013 (edited) Randy can you post pictures of your deadwood construction? I am most interested in the taper of this deadwood area The plans do not specify how much and what shape the taper should take. I see that you lost most of the pictures of your build but if you could of pictures of this area I would appriciate it. Thanks Guy Edited May 12, 2013 by the learner Cheers, GuyThe LearnerCurrent Member NRG,SMA Current Build: HMS Triton 1:48 on line
Randy Posted April 12, 2014 Author #13 Posted April 12, 2014 It has been over a year since i have posted on my build. I will post some pictures of the current state of my build. Work has kept me very busy. I am working on the forecastle area of the Triton since that seems to me to be the easier than then the stern with all of quarter galliries and stern windows. I will add some pictures that show the hawse holes, quarterdeck timbers and catheads. harvey1847, jaerschen, mtaylor and 1 other 4

kruginmi Posted April 12, 2014 #17 Posted April 12, 2014 As one who has 10+ years on my current build (calendar time, not work time) I totally understand.
