rdsaplala Posted February 3, 2018 #184 Posted February 3, 2018 Hello Guy, Just catching up, nice to see you've completed framing the hull, she's shaping up nicely, Sir, I'm looking forward to your resumption of your build. the learner and mtaylor 2 Best regards,AldoCurrently Building: HMS Pegasus (Victory Models)-Mothballed to give priority to Triton HMS Triton (first attempt at scratchbuilding) Past build:HM Brig Badger (Caldercraft), HM Brig Cruizer, HM Schooner Ballahoo
the learner Posted February 8, 2018 Author #185 Posted February 8, 2018 Thanks Lawrence! If I ever get back to it!!! if you followed the builds that were provided I think you will see that most of us did not use the rap around building board but as you can see from about page 4 on I do have a building board just not one that wraps around the upper part of the frames. This is my first build of this type and as you can see I have a long way to go on it. It seems that every one in the shipyard has gone on vacation, LOL mtaylor 1 Cheers, GuyThe LearnerCurrent Member NRG,SMA Current Build: HMS Triton 1:48 on line

the learner Posted April 1, 2018 Author #187 Posted April 1, 2018 Guy is still here! and my Triton is still siting on my work bench! have done very little work on it but have not taken it off the todo list yet. Life sort of takes over when you least expect, I actually retired in January but started a project in the house which my wife and I have been planning for several year, "remodeling the kitchen" actually turning every thing up side down! I still work on models when I have an occasion, I now have 5 in the dry-docks. I promise you I will get back to my Triton build before the end of the year!

Great job you are doing on your ship and I can see very much improvement in your building skills even from post to post. I have often thought that I would like to build one of these frame builds just like you are doing but have been afraid to get my feet wet so to speak, you are doing such a great job on yours that who knows I may make that big jump. One question though is there a reason that you have decided against a building board as all of the other builds of this type have always been with a building board? Keep up the great work and I will continue to follow and maybe build up enough courage to build one of these frame ships in my Old Ship Yard, ENJOY. Regards Lawrence This is not my first POF but the first time using this method, Hann method before. Great job on the African Queen. mtaylor 1 Cheers, GuyThe LearnerCurrent Member NRG,SMA Current Build: HMS Triton 1:48 on line

With that ribband method and the squares to set the fore cant frames you are saving lots of time... I "spent" lot of time building the stern and stem jigs. On next projects I will go your way, a base board and lots of square sets. what is the other building you are working on?! Best wishes Guy! daniel. Daniel! I hate to admit it but I have 8 models in drydock in various stages, some are mine from scratch and some were started by some one else (3) and I have taken over their builds. mtaylor 1 Cheers, GuyThe LearnerCurrent Member NRG,SMA Current Build: HMS Triton 1:48 on line

the learner Posted December 14, 2019 Author #195 Posted December 14, 2019 (edited) Thanks Ed! Following your builds have been wonderful learning experience and look forward to you next project. Question are you going to post a build log for the PS HOPE? And why did you decide to use this ship for your new book as there is already a lot of material published describing her.

the learner Posted May 10, 2020 Author #197 Posted May 10, 2020 Ok time for me to get back to this build. I need to straighten out some of the frames and rework the gun ports that have opened up or were located in the incorrect plane, not square, irregular or insufficient size of the cross beam. I will start with building up the insides. I have decided I will do no masting or rigging so I will have to show as much of the interior construction as possible and keep the exteriour as open as possible. Bon voyage!

the learner Posted January 23, 2022 Author #198 Posted January 23, 2022 Well life sure gets in the way! I definitely got side tracked for quite sometime and now find myself recuperating from lower left leg amputation, it like it will be a long time before I ever get back to the triton build. Sorry guys, perhaps I can change my name from the learner to "peg leg" Regards. The learner ccoyle 1 Cheers, GuyThe LearnerCurrent Member NRG,SMA Current Build: HMS Triton 1:48 on line
bruce d Posted January 23, 2022 #199 Posted January 23, 2022 Guy, I'm really sorry to hear that news. Triton will still be there when you are ready, it is a great thread and will finish one day with a great model. Perhaps you want to pull up a chair and steer me toward the light with my Mediator build which I am resurrecting?

the learner Posted January 23, 2022 Author #200 Posted January 23, 2022 Bruce, thanks for the encouragement, I am trying hard, doing all the required Pt exercises and then some. I don't have to stand to build, just have access. Yes I would love to follow along with your Mediator. Can you send me the link? I am using my phone to access the site! It will be awhile before I get to my computers. Regards, Guy The Learner mtaylor 1 Cheers, GuyThe LearnerCurrent Member NRG,SMA Current Build: HMS Triton 1:48 on line
mtaylor Posted January 25, 2022 #201 Posted January 25, 2022 I'm sorry to hear of the health problems, Guy. I believe you'll get back to where you were with your attitude. My ex- is an amputee and ran a support group for awhile. If their experience is any measure, you seem to be on your way with the therapy. If you can find one nearby, a support group will help as there's a wide variety of experience and knowledge to tap into. bruce d 1 Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned)
