Richard Feliciano Posted September 15, 2020 Share #1 Posted September 15, 2020 Working on this model for about a year. Made many mistakes but still plugging along. Admiralty workshops that I have attended in the past have helped a lot. The Sea Watch books covering the construction of this model are indispensable.

drumgerry Posted September 16, 2020 Share #2 Posted September 16, 2020 Hi Richard. It might be an idea to check out how to attach images to your posts. Most people won't be keen to download files that you attach. All the best, Gerry bruce d, dkuehn and mtaylor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Feliciano Posted September 22, 2020 Author Share #5 Posted September 22, 2020 I'm not a big fan of .jpg. Too long a time to transfer files. If viewers prefer .jpg, I will attach in that format. mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allanyed Posted September 22, 2020 Share #6 Posted September 22, 2020 Please do go with the jpgs. I agree, most folks will not open the attachments. When I attach a jpg here , it takes the same as a pdf, a second or less. Thanks!

Richard Feliciano Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share #7 Posted October 10, 2020 My take on porthole construction: 1. I like the approach of previous posts that used templates for the construction of framing about the portholes (see photo) 2. First I cut the sill slots on one frame only. 3. I trim the next frame (base of sill using the template to determine where to cut. 4. Temporarily setting the outside frame against the sill base, I mark the cut positions, remove the frame and perform the sill cuts. 5. I set and glue one frame spacer into position and clamp (see photo). 6. After the glue is set in step 5, I glue the short frame upright over the middle of the sill and the final spacer into position. I use home made clamps fabricated as described on p.44 of "The Anatomy of Nelson's Ships" by Longridge. I find these clamps to be the most versatile. There is some conflict with the frame positions on the building board, but I chose to use the positioning dictated by the templates which conform to the NMM plans.

dvm27 Posted October 11, 2020 Share #9 Posted October 11, 2020 Looking good Richard. However, please check the position of the outer hawse hole. It may just be the camera perspective but it looks a bit low to me. They should be near the center of the boxing. druxey and mtaylor 2 Quote GregwebsiteAdmiralty Modelsmoderator Echo Cross-section buildAdmiralty Models Cross-section BuildFinished buildPegasus, 1776, cross-sectionCurrent buildSpeedwell, 1752 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Feliciano Posted November 24, 2020 Author Share #10 Posted November 24, 2020 Update on my Frame Thickness issue. I reduced the top of frame thickness to 6" on the bow. Attached photo shows before (top of photo) and after (photo bottom). As you can see, quite a bit of material was removed. Looks a lot better.ved. dvm27, KARAVOKIRIS, druxey and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
