Hi Albert, thank you to show your good work.

 

On the photo, you have 2 milling machine from Proxxon.

Is the FF230 much better than the MF70, is there a big difference between these 2?

Although I am a new member and new to wooden ship building, I have wood working in my resume and can say that this is awesome.

I really like the detail that you have given to make this happen.  I have an HMS Victory that I am "rebuilding" and although daunting...i am learning.  I wish i knew the scale of my ship (I will post questions later) because, I have already ordered wrong size parts.

 

I will follow this close.

Thanks Sir and Merry Christmas.

You can figure the scale pretty easily.   Measure the maximum breadth midships or the length on the gun deck.  It will not be exact, but should be pretty close for figuring the scale.  Beam of the Victory is 52 feet 10 inches and the length on the gun deck (rabbet to rabbet) is 186 feet (2,232 inches) .   For a scale of 1:96 the length on the gundeck would be  23 1/4", for 1:64 it would be 34 7/8", for 1:48 it would be 46 1/2" etc.

Thanks Gaetan for your appreciation of my work, as regards the proxxon milling machines it is true as you say the 230 the mf 70 are much more precise, I use it for wood as if it were a small pantograph, however if registered well it becomes quite precise for small jobs.

Thank you very much Ray and Merry Christmas.

Allan, I just went and looked at mine.....it must be 1:96 cause the closest measurement I can come up with is 23(ish)".

That will help a bunch.  

What source do people on the forum like to use?  I don't know the "ship" lingo yet, but the crew or personnel entry on the starboard side frame is missing and need that and other parts......thanks for your reply.

 

Merry Christmas
