GEMMA 1863 by Bitao - 1:36 - Legurian Tartane from Ancre plans


Recommended Posts

This is truly a boat in miniature. I deduce that the brass template in the third photo is a jig for laying out the nibbed joints of the margin plank. Each angle appears to be slightly different. Brilliant!

Hello. I take the common "Z" shape interface size to make the template, facilitates the accurate localization before the processing. Angle can be arbitrarily changed, the end line can be arbitrarily extended.

What else can one do, but hit the 'like' button ...

 

Well, I still have a question: you seem to alternate between two different building rigs, why ?

So you can't just like it and not have any problems. Ha Ha! It works like this: the greatest use of the metal platform is to be able to adjust the angle of the hull at any time, such as in the laying of slats, while the wooden platform is relatively fixed, a stable, continuous support operation. Besides, the metal table is big and heavy, and the space in the house is very limited. My tools are scattered in different rooms, sometimes for convenience.

Usually the nibbed waterway is flush with the deck planking. Is this not so on Gemma?

Thank you for your attention. Actually, I'm just as confused as you are. But GEMA's drawing was in many ways incoherent, my English was poor, and I didn't have much information to use, so I had to refer to the winner's work, and in order to do that, it took me a lot more time to work out the details. I don't think it's going to affect the drainage down there, because the deck is very curved.

Superb craftsmanship. Will this model be used for teaching students about boats, or will it be displayed in a museum?

The House is full of tools. There's no room for models here. Usually, I sell it when I'm done. I just love the challenging process of modeling, and I love making special tools.
