EdT Posted December 16, 2014 Share #845 Posted December 16, 2014 Lovely work, Remco. I could be wrong, but I believe all were the same length - but the upper straps are fore shortened in the drawings due to the hull curvature. Note that the bolt spacing on the drawings decreases on the higher ones. If you think about it from a strength point of view, there is no reason why these should be of different lengths. I'd vote for making them all the length of the lowest. That one and the next couple are shown in true view.

druxey Posted December 16, 2014 Share #846 Posted December 16, 2014 Ed is correct on this. The draughts show the successive straps foreshortened on the sheer plan.

Remcohe Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share #847 Posted December 31, 2014 Thanks all for helping me to sort this out. Jan, 0,5 mm copper rod scored with a sharp blade made the screw head. Sorry Grant, no way I can make working screws on this scale So that said, the gudgeons are made, again from brass strip and bar silver soldered together and formed to follow the hull curvature. I'll probably use some castello shims to compensate for the missing hull planking. Some adjustments are still needed before I can bolt the gudgeons permanently to the hull. Somehow gudgeon #5 ended up under the transom planking Remco alangr4, dgbot, EdT and 22 others 25 Quote Treat each part as if it is a model on its own, you will finish more models in a day than others do in a lifetime.

amateur Posted December 31, 2014 Share #849 Posted December 31, 2014 Looks great. One question though: I see that your rudder sits quite high compared to the bottom of the keel. Danny's rudder has its bottom side flush with the keel. Is that why number 5 went out of sight? Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remcohe Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share #851 Posted December 31, 2014 Jan, the bottom of the rudder should be higher than the top of the false keel. Otherwise the false keel (if it comes of when hitting ground) would rip off the rudder in the process. The issue occurred when I marked the hight of the pintles using the pre cut slots on the sternpost.

druxey Posted December 31, 2014 Share #852 Posted December 31, 2014 The upper gudgeon straps do go through the transom and wrap around the post. Usually you can see a little of them on the side of the stern post. Ah, well, no-one is perfect! However, you are pretty close. A happy and healthy New Year to you.

dgbot Posted January 4, 2015 Share #858 Posted January 4, 2015 Your pintles and gudgeons look great, but I do not understand the reasoning for installing the straps underneath the planking.

Remcohe Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share #859 Posted January 4, 2015 Thanks all. David B, well the thing is I'm building Admiralty style so as I'm not adding any more planking it looks like the straps are underneath the planking. But if you look closer you can see small shims I used to compensate for the lack of planking on the lower two gudgeons.

Remcohe Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share #866 Posted January 25, 2015 Thanks all for your very kind compliments and likes! So time to get back inside the hull. All beams were cut to size previously and here they are test fitted with all the lower deck details temporary in place. I'm not too pleased how the upper well discolored overtime. In the beginning I have used minwax and it made the wood a bit greenish. I also need to check the dimensions of the louvers as they look a bit thick to my eye compared to the other details. Ah well I'll just make an other one in due time. Before I proceed to install the carlings and ledges I made the hammock battens, al bit of mass production as there are quite a few to be made of different sizes. Preliminary shape (the last bit is in front of the pile af battens) was made on the table saw and then the battens were cut to size and further refined using files and sandpaper. The drilling and installing of the tiny bolts (0,3 mm) took some time. The last step was to bend the longer battens to conform with the curving of the deck beams. The outer bolts will be installed when the battens are fixed permanently in place and will help to pin the battens to the deck beams. Port side has been done starboard side is still in the clamping jig ...
