HMS Triton cross section - FINISHED - by G.L. Scale 1:24


Recommended Posts

Only now I look to the 'end view plan' of the entry steps and I see that on this plan the step is placed just on top of the outboard trim. A small inequality between the two plans? Apparently it was not necessary to cut a piece from the outboard trim.

But done is done. I continue to glue the steps. The upper side of each step must be horizontal. Because the hull is cambered the after side is of each step has another angle. I sand them to the right angle with the band sander.

I like the looks of the step inset in the rail ,not sure if it's correct but it looks clean

In the second part of the starboard side, I leave an opening in the planking to keep the frames visual. I took over the shape of the opening from the Zeljko Triton cros section which can be found on the cross section forum under the name 'UWEK Triton Build (re-post by mod)'. I made it only a bit wider to show all nine frames.

Hi Derek,

 

I cut the blade with a Dremel rotary saw and when needed I finish it of with a file. The blade is not a razor blade but a piece of a cutter blade. I think that a razor blade would fracture while scraping oak.

I make the brackets from 2x2mm brass. I make first a paper template directly signed off the model and ply the brass rods with the help of pliers. When I have all the parts, I solder them following the shape on the paper template.

When dry I plank the gangways on the paper template. Between the planks I use again black cardboard strip caulking. To keep the planks firmly in place while gluing, I use nails in predrilled holes. The holes will later be used for tree nails.
