JerseyCity Frankie Posted May 15, 2013 Share #33 Posted May 15, 2013 I too am working on a model of the H.M.S. Leopard, although mine is to a much smaller scale and a solid hull. Still, working so intently from the same reference material I have fully absorbed the shape of her hull and the sweep of her lines and now know them intimately. The sense of dejavue one gets while looking at photos of someone else’s build of the same model one is also working on is striking.

jaerschen Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share #34 Posted May 15, 2013 I have a great respect to everyone who build ship at such small scales. That's not for me and my big finger. A friend of my do it also and he built the Leopard many years ago. It must be a similar scale at your Leopard.

jaerschen Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share #47 Posted June 8, 2013 Much thanks for the kind comment Timmo. It's going on with the build. I added two rails during the last days. But I want to display how make the planks above (or under) the gunports at first. First step is to mark the position where the plank must be wider Then I saw the plank with the bandsaw and sanded it Thereafter it must be fitted to the other planks. I did that with a chissel. That's the easiest way to do it for me. Here you can see the result. And now some photos of the current progress.

jaerschen Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share #57 Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) Thank you so much for looking and the kind comment B.E. Here's a little update. The planking include the rails at the starbord side are finished so far as possible at the moment. The ornaments at the end of the rails (I don't no the right term) were uncharted waters for me. I decided to do the rail and ornament at one piece. I made a simply stencil because it needs several of that ornaments. The shape of the rail is done with drawing plate and the ornament with cutter and curving tools here you see it at the model I desided to close the spaces between the bulkheads at the port-side based on some trubble during the planking That's looking so I believe the planking will be much easier at this Edited June 18, 2013 by jaerschen Bdk, 4whelr, harvey1847 and 7 others 10 Quote Juergen Actually in progress: 50-Gun Ship HMS Leopard 1790 POB in scale 1/64 HMS Triton 1773 POF 1/48 Finished: Brigg Irene (ex.
