gjdale Posted February 3, 2018 #182 Posted February 3, 2018 Hey Aldo! So pleased to see you back my friend - its been way too long! As for your plans quandary, have you tried a print shop that deals with architects plans and large blueprints? They might have the capacity to scan your NMM plans to file for you. Looking forward to seeing the resumption of your build. My own modelling is “on hold” at the moment while I attend to some 1:1 scale stuff - building a bunch of cabinets and storage solutions for the garage workshop. mtaylor, rdsaplala and Landlubber Mike 3 Grant ____________________________________________________ Current builds: African Queen - Radio Control / Live Steam Previous builds: The Shipyard at Foss' Landing (Diorama), Hannah - Ship in a Bottle, NRG Capstan Project, 1869 Allerton Steam Pumper, Medway Longboat , Alfa Romeo Spider Gran Touring (Pocher) , Da Vinci Flying Machine, 1949 Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout - Dumas - Radio, Bomb Vessel Granado, 1742 - Cross Section - Scratchbuild, HMS Victory (Mamoli 1:90), Cutty Sark, Armed Pinnace, Bounty, Santa Maria At another place: Stephenson's Rocket (OcCre 1:24) (click the title to follow the link) In the Gallery: Lancia Armata 1803, Bomb Vessel Granada, 1742 Cross Section, 1949 Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout
rdsaplala Posted February 3, 2018 Author #183 Posted February 3, 2018 Hi Grant, Thanks for dropping by as well as the good words and advice, so far I have yet to see a print shop here with a big enough scanner for a large NMM plan, but I'll keep looking I see that you're also busy with other projects like me, don't leave the shipyard too long, my friend gjdale 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
mtaylor Posted February 3, 2018 #184 Posted February 3, 2018 Hi Aldo, great to see you again my friend. Computer crashes don't help do they? What the others have said as far as solving the computer problem might work. I'm not sure why you'd want to plank over what's there. I think I read that right? Looks pretty good from here. If you don't have access to the plans here at MSW, ping an admin. I'll be glad to vouch for you. rdsaplala and Landlubber Mike 2 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)
rdsaplala Posted February 3, 2018 Author #185 Posted February 3, 2018 Hi Mark, Thanks for advice regarding the plans, I can still access the MSW plans, I'll print them out and check if my modified hull still matches their measurements Thanks for the good word on the planking my friend, I used only scrap planks here so I will cover it up, I plan to use better wood for the second layer mtaylor and Landlubber Mike 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
mtaylor Posted February 3, 2018 #186 Posted February 3, 2018 I'm glad you have access. I can see doing a double plank... no hard fast rules around here. I trust you're not near the volcano nor had the heavy flooding that was going on. rdsaplala and Landlubber Mike 2 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)
rdsaplala Posted February 4, 2018 Author #187 Posted February 4, 2018 Yup, I'll be using some thinner planks to avoid making her look fat We're quite lucky to be far from the disaster area, thanks for the concern my friend. mtaylor and Landlubber Mike 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
Landlubber Mike Posted February 4, 2018 #188 Posted February 4, 2018 Aldo!!! I'm so happy to see you back here my friend. It's been quite some time, and I was wondering how you were doing. You've made some really nice progress on your Triton build - it's coming along fantastic! It's really cool to watch you move from kits to scratch building, in particular, your work with the plans and CAD. The CAD stuff is a brave new world for me, so I'm taking notes while watching you. Stay good my fellow Badger Brother. Glad to see you are back mtaylor and rdsaplala 2 Mike Current Wooden builds: Amati/Victory Pegasus MS Charles W.

Barbossa Posted February 4, 2018 #189 Posted February 4, 2018 Hi Aldo It's good to have you back with us Regarding the planking : as far as I'm concerned no lashes only congrats and a double portion of rhum For a first scratch building project : what a wonderful looking hull ! mtaylor and rdsaplala 2 Kind regards Christian "The original always beats the copy" (supportive statement)

Stay good my fellow Badger Brother. Glad to see you are back Thanks Mike, You won't regret trying out CAD, you can produce more precise drawings from it plus you can draw fine details and have them laser cut thereby making your work easier On 2/5/2018 at 12:57 AM, Barbossa said: Hi Aldo It's good to have you back with us Regarding the planking : as far as I'm concerned no lashes only congrats and a double portion of rhum For a first scratch building project : what a wonderful looking hull !
