AntonyUK Posted April 14, 2013 Author #3 Posted April 14, 2013 Hi Pete. I have no idea at the moment. Might follow someone's else's list as metal's I can do but wood is a new ball game for me. A good friend has just offered the use of his workshop and he is a carpenter and a jolly good one. So will ask his advice also. My local stockist for modeling timber is cornwallmodelboats?co.uk Looking forward to learning a lot of new skills with this model. Regards Antony.

Paddy Posted April 14, 2013 #6 Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) Hello Anthony. That's a good looking rabbet on the keel piece and I like the contrast between the keel and the false keel. The best of luck to your project. Edited April 14, 2013 by Paddy 1st Year Apprentice :mellow: A new member of the NRG as of 8/28/13 Work in Progress - Triton 28 Gun Frigate Cross Section
harvey1847 Posted April 15, 2013 #7 Posted April 15, 2013 Welcome aboard Antony! Good Luck! Did you ask for the timber allready. Maybe your friend has some nice wood in his workshop... and lots of machines to get familiar with. I am willing to have my own workshop with lots of wood, oils, jars, botles and that special smell of a carpenter´s room. Best wishes! Daniel. In the shipyard: HMS Triton 1773. POF. 1:48.

Snowmans Posted May 18, 2013 #11 Posted May 18, 2013 That is a good selection of timber. Should be a good looking build when done.

mtaylor Posted May 19, 2013 #13 Posted May 19, 2013 Looks like you're all set Anthony. I take it you won't be tempted to start working on her while the glue is drying on the Vic?

Pete38 Posted May 19, 2013 #14 Posted May 19, 2013 Good looking pile of wood. The contrast between the colors and grains should make a most appealing model..... Triton Cross Section 1:32 SEE YA LATER
Paddy Posted May 19, 2013 #15 Posted May 19, 2013 Hello Antony, I join too in thinking you have picked some good looking wood for your Triton CS. Looking forward to your getting underway. 1st Year Apprentice :mellow: A new member of the NRG as of 8/28/13 Work in Progress - Triton 28 Gun Frigate Cross Section
AntonyUK Posted May 19, 2013 Author #16 Posted May 19, 2013 Hi all. I would love to start the build right now But the boss will not allow me to take over the conservatory. Thanks for the comments..The wood colour is important to me as I will not be using any paint on wood items. And the other reason is I need an thicknesser. Looking at the Axminster CT-356 at the moment. And a small bench saw. Make and model unknown as yet. Regards Antony. Best advice ever given to me."If you don't know ..Just ask.
