NMBROOK Posted September 9, 2013 Author #211 Posted September 9, 2013 Thank you very much Matti Yes it has been bit of a hard slog,but the bottom was far to high to be able to fit full carriages.I have gone further than need be so I can fit lower deck beams correct in relation to the gunports.

NMBROOK Posted October 6, 2013 Author #217 Posted October 6, 2013 (edited) It has been a while since my last update,although I have been doing lots of hours on the build,it doesn't really show.I have now profiled the hull inside.I have cut and relined the main gunports on the starboard side(upper ports still to do.) the gunports have been cut on the port side but lining to finish.I made a start with the internal planking on the inside of the starboard side.I am only representing caulking on the decks internally.The first deck beam shelf is in position and notched.I have now told myself I must complete all the railings before going any further as I am fed up of breaking the uprights.I have made a start on this as my pictures show.There are some gunports to cut out in these but I shall do that when they are all in place.The red is coloured veneer,not paint.

NMBROOK Posted October 7, 2013 Author #229 Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) Thank you very much indeed everybody for your very kind words In answer to your question Kevin.I am looking back and thinking how I could of progressed differently.The problem with this being a partwork is there are no drawings and the model being supplied is vastly different from the model advertised.This did start out with the intention of being a near stock build but as the part work progressed and looking at the Italian forum(which is about 6 months infront)the difference with what we are building to what was advertised was becoming obvious.At this point I had a fully planked hull which due to sourcing my own more expensive timber stood me at quite a lot of money. So then the 'modification ball' started rolling and I found that all the supplied ornamentation was going to be inaccurate.Inspired by Bill Short's log which I used to follow before the 'crash' and becoming a member,I decided to take the step of 'having a go'at producing my own carvings. What started out as a stock build had now turned in to probably 3-4000 hours work.Thinking on this made me think that 'dummy'canons didn't quite come up to par with the rest of the build.Helped in no small part by Chris Watton's amazing victory prototype.I think though the biggest discovery was Arthur Molle's amazing model of the Sovereign.I looked at that and thought 'I have to do that'.I include a picture of Molle's model that I am going to try and replicate to some extent for the deck structures,I am not planing on sawing the model in half though Back to the question of would I have done things different?Yes I would have bought Sergal's plans and worked from there,full scratchbuild.

WackoWolf Posted October 11, 2013 #233 Posted October 11, 2013 Nice setup, glad you like it. What model is the Proxxon Mill? Quote Wacko Joe Go MSW :)
NMBROOK Posted October 11, 2013 Author #234 Posted October 11, 2013 Hi Joe It's the MF70.It is the only thing that runs a high enough RPM for the small cutters.I only plan on using it for detail work so should be ideal.I hope to get it's bigger brother at a later stage for more joinery related model building tasks when I venture into fully framed ships.However the big one won't run the small cutters so eventually I will have two mills.

Ferit Posted October 12, 2013 #240 Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) Hi Nigel, I liked your choice about these new tools because me too, I have same tools even additional ones, vice and rotator... I haven't had any necessity to use this rotator but it's a great tool for precise works, I think. A build of a ship so hard like SoS in your style, very neat, precise, accurate, so detailed and in high quality, at the border of the scratch (almost at the middle of the scratch in fact) should need them frequently... Enjoy them...
