Hi

 

Continuing with the embellishment of the stern, this time the installation of the decorations in the stern, it is only a top decoration glued to the corning and a tiny cutlet with the name of the boat.
These decorations are drawn by Fermin Urtizberea Oronoz, in 3D and relined in CNC by Migue, Miquel Rodríguez García

Hi

 

With the bulkhead closing the chamber, the "fine" carpentry is for later, now and before installing more equipment on the deck I will make the lining of the submerged part of the frigate’s hull since for this operation I have to put the keel up.

Hi

 

After several weeks of work the outer lining of the hull of the frigate is completed.

The starboard side is completely lined, and the port side releases the openings made in the structure to be able to show the interior

Some photos show the realization and, at the end, some details of the simplified nail of the boards .

Hello 
I want to update the work done these last months on the frigate La Mahonesa,

 

First the realization and installation of the rudder

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the previous photo I want to emphasize the separation between the "rudder" and the "post" that must be minimal or rather null, to avoid that it can be placed any foreign element.

thank you

 

[a.sorolla]

This post, deals with the realization and installation of artillery bolts in gun ports battery

 

 

Due to the complexity in the realization of the bolts, given the differences in thickness of the ship side, although the hole is through from outside to inside, I relined the bolts in two pieces.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

thank you

Now the manufacture and installation of chain wales, channels the masts.

 

We begin by making the tables, which are composed of several boards.

 

 

 

Construction of reinforcement curves

 

 

 

In the previous photo you can see the profile that the table has to have, which is flat at the water line and with a slight slope towards the outside on the upper side, so that the rainwater comes out. 

 

Next, manufacture of the dead eye:

 

 

 

 

 

Manufacture of bindings:

The technique is to use a printing with printer toner and transferring the drawing to the brass tape, with wetting the back of the paper with some solvent liquid.

 

 

 

 

 

 

thank you

[a.sorolla]

Continuing on the outside of the hull, we arrive at the fore ship, preparation of the curves  bowsprint and the eyes of a ship:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

cordially

I am posting many photos to follow the construction process of this model, as a supplement to the monograph, if they can serve the modelers colleagues who are working on this beautiful frigate, but if apart from these photos anyone needs further clarification can contact me sending a private and I will respond without delay.
