CNH Posted July 6, 2013 Share #61 Posted July 6, 2013 Hi Juergen I really admire your build. What method do you use to cut the frames to shape and correct thickness? Do you use a fret/scrollsaw? Or jigsaw? Best regards Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaerschen Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share #62 Posted July 7, 2013 Hi Chris, Much thanks, your interest pleases me very well. I used a scroll jigsaw at first that I put in a jig as you can see at the following photos. On the second photo is the power button that I can press with my foot. After I sanded with a belt sander Oh my english, I hope that was what would you like to know Bdk, harvey1847 and JerseyCity Frankie 3 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.

CNH Posted July 8, 2013 Share #65 Posted July 8, 2013 Hi again Juergen, Sorry to keep asking questions! May I ask, how do you get the profile shapes for the frames? I am used to working from bulkhead drawings but these don't have as many cross-sections as a frame plan. Did you draw them yourself? If so, how do you do it? Thanks Chris jaerschen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaerschen Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share #66 Posted July 8, 2013 Thanks for the kind comments Chris and Kevin, You can ask what ever you want, that's a great help for me because I can improve my english . @Kevin It's much easier for me to construct the gunports at the right position instead to cut them in a closed hull. I have some problems to make clean openings afterwards. One or two are not a problem, but this plenty of ports are a big problem for me. I don't feel like it. The frames of beech are very solid. That's a help because I'll fit the details from the Gundeck upwards. That's the main reasons why I decided to do it at this way. Also it's a good exercise for me of a real planking and (a bit) constuction because I would like to finish my Triton anytime. @Chris The bulkhead drawings from McKay are showing all the frames that you can see at my model The McKay bulhead drawings corespond to the original drawings and they are showing every second frame. What drawings do you have Chris? Kevin 1 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.

CNH Posted July 8, 2013 Share #67 Posted July 8, 2013 Hi Juergen, I am happy we can help you with your English, although I must say it is very very good already – a lot better than my German! I have the same book as you (Rif Winfield's 50-gun ship), however, I am currently drawing the frames and keel sections for a 74-gun ship based on the Bellona Anatomy of the Ship book. I am drawing them in Illustrator to create accurate templates for cutting. This will be my first wooden period ship. I have experience scratch-building other ships/subs but not of this period. Looking at the Anatomy drawings of the Bellona, it appears they also show every other frame too, which will be helpful. Once I get a little further with the drawings I will begin a build log too. Your ship has inspired me to take the plunge and do it after much thinking. Best wishes Chris jaerschen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaerschen Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share #68 Posted July 8, 2013 That will be a very interest project Chris. It's nice to hear that you will starting it in the near future. I'll follow that build with great interest when it's nearer the time. The AOTS of the Bellona is very good base for a build of a 74-gun ship. Will you build in POB or POF?

CNH Posted July 9, 2013 Share #69 Posted July 9, 2013 Hi Juergen It will be POF. I am currently sourcing the wood at the moment. I am considering beech or I might experiment with English oak for the frames. I am waiting for some samples to arrive so I can try cutting, shaping, sanding and see how it reacts before I decide. The keel will be English oak. I will post as soon as I have anything worth showing! Chris jaerschen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluto 1790 Posted July 11, 2013 Share #70 Posted July 11, 2013 Hi Jürgen, I've just found this thread and I'll be following it closely! I started building Leopard about 3 years ago and it still has a few years before it will be near completion, but following your thread will keep me motivated. I'm also using the Rif Winfield book and plans, and as you know the plans are at a scale of 1:96. I felt that scale was going to be a little too small for me to work with so I had the plans expanded to equate to a scale of 1:80. Did you have the plans expanded to get to 1:64, or are you just making the calculations as you go? I am in awe at your fabulous hook and butt wales! -- I tried to make these for my build but I found it was too much of a struggle, so I cheated and just went for top and butt wale planks! I'm also very impressed by your scarf jointed planks and other intricate joints that you have built in to the upper hull. This is my first real attempt at modelling anything like this, and when I started there were a few proceedures that I approached from different angles than I've seen here on the forum, but watching your build will help me stay closer to a more "proper way to build". Keep us up-to-date with photos of your build! jaerschen 1 Quote Jim. I cut it twice . . . . . and it's still too short!

jaerschen Posted July 14, 2013 Author Share #71 Posted July 14, 2013 (edited) Hi Bluto Thank you very much for nice comment. I'm glad to hear that you will follow this log. I just as do it as you and expanded the plans in scale 1:64. That was the simplest way. You must build the model how you can do it. There are so much nice models without some details. Sometime it's better to exclude some details and nevertheless your model is looking very nice. I wish you all the best at your build. @Chris I hope your build is starting soon Edited July 14, 2013 by jaerschen Bluto 1790 1 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.

Sometime it's better to exclude some details and nevertheless your model is looking very nice. Hi Jürgen, Thanks for your response. When I began the build I intended to make it as close to the plans and drawings as possible, but there have been a few details and proceedures that I have found a little difficult so I opted for an alternative way of doing them. My intention for the ship is only to have it as a display item in my livingroom, and while I want it to be as accurate as possible I won't worry if there are a few things that were done a little differently. After all, it will be mostly myself who will be looking at it ! Jim. jaerschen and Ferit 2 Quote Jim. I cut it twice . . . . . and it's still too short!

I hope you're going to show us how you construct all that intricate work around the stern. I've been having some "fun" trying to construct mine! . . . as I don't have any previous experience of doing that.
