cotrecerf Posted March 19, 2019 Share #1 Posted March 19, 2019 Here is my long time build (> 10 years) . I'm going to pick up work on her by the end of this year. Basically its's my first ever scratch build after initial two kit models. Still a lot to do, but I enjoy very much thus being compelled to learn lots of new technologies and skills, materials and manufacturing know-how. With the support of this Forum I'am sure to come up with a nice model some day. 😉 Valeriy V, ccoyle, Rudolf and 10 others 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have quite a good little model already. mtaylor 1 Quote Keith Current Build:- Cangarda (Steam Yacht) - Scale 1:24 Previous Builds:- Schooner Germania (Nova) - Scale 1:36 https://modelshipworld.com/topic/19848-schooner-germania-nova-by-keithaug-scale-136-1908-2011/ Schooner Altair by KeithAug - Scale 1:32 - 1931 http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/12515-schooner-altair-by-keithaug-scale-132-1931/?p=378702 J Class Endeavour by KeithAug - Amati - Scale 1:35 - 1989 after restoration. http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/10752-j-class-endeavour-by-keithaug-amati-scale-135-1989-after-restoration/?p=325029 Other Topics Nautical Adventures http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/13727-nautical-adventures/?p=422846 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cotrecerf Posted July 3, 2020 Author Share #8 Posted July 3, 2020 Hello Ryland, up to date, there is no further progress of the build, .... BUT.... I bought a brandnew Table Saw plus all accessories (except tilting table for now) from Jim Byrnes. It took surprisingly little time for shipment and bringing it through German import procedures. At present I make trials on this machine and on an Emco Unimat 3 Lathe plus Milling unit I acquired a while ago. So there are steep learning curves for me to master in integrating more machines in my modelling work. Once I produce presentable results on my cutter build, I'll share pics. So long.

Gregory Posted July 3, 2020 Share #9 Posted July 3, 2020 Nice work! I love cutters and Chapman references.. What is the source for your plans? mtaylor 1 Quote Luck is just another word for good preparation. —MICHAEL ROSE Current builds: Rattlesnake (Scratch From MS Plans On Hold: HMS Resolution ( AKA Ferrett ) In the Gallery: Yacht Mary, Gretel, French Cannon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cotrecerf Posted July 5, 2020 Author Share #10 Posted July 5, 2020 I discovered a box containing af Chapman plans of Architectura Navalis in the early 1980's in an antiquarian bookshop in Cologne. I got it for then 100.00 Deutschmarks. The box contains 6 carton folders with all plans, "frontispiece" showing Stockholm at the time of af Chapman and the rigging overview of all ships shown in the plans.. In this non-digital era I made lots of photocopies of the English cutter plans (side elevation and frames) scaled to 1:50. When I got internet access in the 1990's I sampled much more detailed information and could compare plans of various contemporary cutter builds, as the Chapman plans do not show much detail of deck fittings and other details. We ship modellers are lucky nowadays: all the Chapman plans and many others are available in digitalized formats. best regards an I hope you enjoyed a Happy Fourth!

Gregory Posted July 5, 2020 Share #11 Posted July 5, 2020 What a treasure.. I have the soft copy of Architectura Navalis, but it doesn't come close to what you have.. mtaylor 1 Quote Luck is just another word for good preparation. —MICHAEL ROSE Current builds: Rattlesnake (Scratch From MS Plans On Hold: HMS Resolution ( AKA Ferrett ) In the Gallery: Yacht Mary, Gretel, French Cannon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipman Posted July 5, 2020 Share #12 Posted July 5, 2020 I recently obtained a copy of the Chapman book on fleabay.....£10. It's the English version published in London by Adlard Coles. My good fortune is that a previous owner had (very cleanly) removed all the pages from the case; so I've re-bound the text pages and left all the plans individually separate, which is a much better and convenient way to view them. Both elements sit squarely in the original case. Though there are a wide selection of drawings, by modern standards, they are limited in value. A nice thing to have. mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
