Thistle17 Posted December 11, 2018 Share #126 Posted December 11, 2018 On 10/31/2018 at 2:44 PM, Valeriy V said: Is there a reason you are building the model in two halves, Valeriy? Lovely work so far. I am just catching up to this build and find it fascinating and your execution is superb! When Druxey asked the above question I recalled Mowll's work in Ship In Scale; (Nov/Dec 2014, p12-25) using the same method. Your answer now clinches my thoughts about this method. Given that you can apply laser machining to the keel halves it, further makes sense to me. This as you show enables the bulkheads to be linearly and perpendicularly placed accurately. If indeed the keel half's are twisted from their plane datum one can compensate for the problem by selecting wood orientation. Oh to have access to such a technology!

Joe Joe, of course, this method simplifies and facilitates the installation of frames. With regard to the twisted keel, it is still easier to prevent this from twisting than correcting it later. According to this technology, the casing is impregnated with epoxy resin and a large shrinkage of the resin occurs during drying. So she leads to twisting deformations. Using the two halves of the model can be guaranteed to avoid such deformations. shipman, KORTES, Canute and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle17 Posted December 11, 2018 Share #128 Posted December 11, 2018 Thank you Valeriy, not having built a model with an epoxied hull, I did not appreciate that factor as well. I always learn from others on this site. I will follow your work and eagerly learn.

amateur Posted December 14, 2018 Share #131 Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) I thought the radius of that brass strip would be larger. The quality of your metalwork is great. question: you said the metalwork will be left visible. Does that also holdfor those casements? And if so: how are yougoing to polish them without damaging your superb hull finish?
