Beautiful Remco!!!  Looks real, just thinking, that if you lay it on some aged planking you can fool people in thinking it's the real thing.

 

Cheers,

Piet, The Flying Dutchman.

Remco, I cannot believe you actually simulated something.  Maybe you are human. :D

I'm with Toni here Remco!!! ;)

 

And for Remco's next miniature challenge....................

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.

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 :(

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.

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?

Heel Strak!!! (Very sharp)

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. I should have noticed it then :(

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.

As I get ready to start the rudder on my Swan class in a few weeks, all I can say is that your rudder assembly is inspiring.

Your pintles and gudgeons look great, but I do not understand the reasoning for installing the straps underneath the planking.  Can you elaborate why the did this?

David B

Posted

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.

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.

Your well is a work of art as built.  How could you make it any better?  What finish are you using now and why did you stop using the Minwax?
