Wahka_est Posted August 22, 2020 Share #1 Posted August 22, 2020 Hi Maybe really stupid but here i go. Problem/question: shouldnt mast be in the center of yard/spar. CC drawings has it offset by about 5mm Logic say it should be in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Lad Posted August 22, 2020 Share #2 Posted August 22, 2020 The yard should certainly be centered on the mast! John mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popeye2sea Posted August 23, 2020 Share #3 Posted August 23, 2020 The drawings appear perfectly centered. Is this maybe a case of measure twice, cut once?

Regards, When making the spar i marked from drawings not mesaured. And then when i checked again it felt off. 2nd picture is spar rotated 180 degrees. So you can see its off. Guess i have to redo that spar. mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtaylor Posted August 23, 2020 Share #5 Posted August 23, 2020 The problem I see is look at the two blocks, one at each end. On the right side just past the yard is a vertical line.. that's the end of the yard. The next two parallel lines are for the dimension. I think the yard as is, is spot on or darn close.

druxey Posted August 24, 2020 Share #6 Posted August 24, 2020 The extension lines (the ones between the ends of a measured dimension) at the right end of the drawing are not separated from the drawing itself. That is the origin of the confusion. mtaylor 1 Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm making the yards the same way you did here. (using the drawing, not measuring anything) From now on I'll check it with a 180 degree rotation after marking the center part of the yard before construction just to be sure. I can see how that would be quite frustrating. You'd assume the drawings would be spot on. Thanks for the heads up. mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder Posted August 29, 2020 Share #9 Posted August 29, 2020 I never trust the caldercraft drawings as spotted many mistakes in the past. The drawing shown there is out. From the centre of the yard on the Larboard side the yard measures 132.5mm, on the starboard it is 140mm. Neither correspond with the dimensions given. If you take the centre section it says 53mm but off the drawing it is 58.5mm. When I did Supply they have different spacings for the gunports dependant on what drawing profile you look at. mtaylor 1 Quote Current Build(s): H.M.S Diana 1794 - Caldercraft 1:64 Scale Completed Builds: H.M.S.

Thunder Posted August 29, 2020 Share #10 Posted August 29, 2020 I think you will get away with just reworking the side that is overlength. mtaylor 1 Quote Current Build(s): H.M.S Diana 1794 - Caldercraft 1:64 Scale Completed Builds: H.M.S.
