This work is just amazing. One day i'd like to try making something out of bone, though nothing as ambitious as a model ship!

Congratulations Tarjack;

 

This is an inspirational project,  beautifully carried out,  in an unusual material. 

 

Your story of the police coming to visit is great;  at least they didn't dig up the patio!

 

I will follow your build with great interest.

 

All the best,

 

Mark P

Previously built models (long ago, aged 18-25ish) POB construction. 32 gun frigate, scratch-built sailing model, Underhill plans.

2 masted topsail schooner, Underhill plans.

 

Started at around that time, but unfinished: 74 gun ship 'Bellona' NMM plans. POB 

 

On the drawing board: POF model of Royal Caroline 1749, part-planked with interior details. My own plans, based on Admiralty draughts and archival research.

 

Always on the go: Research into Royal Navy sailing warship design, construction and use, from Tudor times to 1790.

The windows of the lamp

 

The windows were made from Plexiglas and bone struts.
The struts are to be recorded on the Plexi and cut with a 0.3mm circumsawblade 0.5mm deep into the Plexiglas.
After that the struts may be glued into the joints

G'day Robert

Amazzzzzzzzing stunning work. My word vocalisations isn't good enough to truly express my my amazement.

Just courrious, what amount of hour that was envolved in the main mask Platform? Hope that you are keeping a record of times, it would be very interesting.

Havagooday and keep posting PLEASE.

Much time has passed, but now i am back

 

Next step was to build the deadeyes and chainplates for the main-platform.

 

For the holes in the deadeyes I need a helpfull tool.

The tool it´s made from wood and brass.

The deadeyes are made on the lathe

post-3335-0-85882700-1466253659.jpg

 

 

After drilling the deadeyes the edges are chamfered  upward

post-3335-0-95099100-1466254767_thumb.jpg

 

 

Now it´s time to made the chainplates.

The plates have the dimensions of 1 mm x 0,5 mm x 12mm; above an eye and down a long hole 0.5 mm x 1 mm

The plates are fixed with glue on the deadeyes ready for stropping

 

 

post-3335-0-70120000-1466256418_thumb.jpg

 

 

The stropp for deadeyes is made with a real splice

The rope, made from three strands, will opend and for each strand i use a needle to made the splice.
