SJSoane Posted March 31, 2013 #151 Posted March 31, 2013 Remco, Perfection! I have a question about your mast wedge and partners. Since the mainmast angles aft, and the deck slopes, did you bore your hole through the partners at an angle? Or does the wedge make up the difference?

dvm27 Posted March 31, 2013 #152 Posted March 31, 2013 Perfect work, as always, Remco. Are you going to go a step than I did and add the recessed faces to the angled tops of the bitts?

Remcohe Posted March 31, 2013 Author #153 Posted March 31, 2013 Thank you for clarifying Druxey. Mark, I filed the hole in the mast partner at a slight angle, but as the mast partner is quite thin it's hardly noticeable. Greg, I didn't plan to, but now your asking..... I made a slightly different pattern than suggested in TFFM.

SJSoane Posted March 31, 2013 #155 Posted March 31, 2013 Remco, Wow. You are so good at this that you might consider the fine beading along the edges of the capstan whelps and chocks in Napier's Legacy of a Ship Model on page 76, when you get to it. I did not see that detail in the original Bellona model, and so I did not attempt it. I'm not sure I could have done it. But I'll bet you can!

AnobiumPunctatum Posted April 1, 2013 #158 Posted April 1, 2013 Excellent, Remco! My Swan was O.K. No Greg, your's is a masterpiece. Every time I go in my shipyard I view the wonderful pictures of your model. but I believe yours may be the definitive version of the class. That's right. And Remco shows all the steps he goes to realize this dream model.

Remcohe Posted April 1, 2013 Author #159 Posted April 1, 2013 Thanks Greg that is really kind of you, but "My Swan was O.K" must be the understatement of the year I don't know Mark I don't have a copy of Napier, but I take it as a big compliment. MarkII, yep I cut them by hand, couple of real sharp chisels did the job. Thnx Christian Back to work, the Gallow is morticed/tenoned I wanted to give this a try after seeing Tony making tenons for the deck pillars. My hat is off to you Tony, it's a daunting task...

dvm27 Posted April 2, 2013 #162 Posted April 2, 2013 Beautiful detail on the gallows cross-piece. Just for fun, I've attached the gallows cross-piece on the Navy Board version of the Swan class model in Annapolis. Note the beautiful beaded detail on the bottom edge. Difficult to do, I'd think, even with a scraper.

dvm27 Posted April 2, 2013 #166 Posted April 2, 2013 Naw...I'm not throwing down the gauntlet to Remco. I just thought he'd appreciate the beautiful detail. It's certainly possible that the molded detail might be an embellishment on the part of the ship modeller.

Remcohe Posted April 2, 2013 Author #167 Posted April 2, 2013 Thats a great picture Greg, to bad Annapolis is not on my route to the office. It's a bit heavy on the details added on the cross piece and bitt's for my liking. So I wasn't planning to do a mold and just make a test on a piece of scrap to see if it could be done. The result is shown here, I did it on the good piece anyway when I found out it worked out I think more subtile than the Annapolis model and better matching the rest of my KF.
