Rustyj Posted February 17, 2013 #1 Posted February 17, 2013 Hi All, Well here is my Triton Cross Section build pictures up to the point of the crash of 2013. I don’t have the text but I do have all the pictures. Just a recap. All of the frames are cut from cherry. The inboard planking to the lower gun deck beams is also cherry. The outboard planking from the keel to the wales is Pau Marfim. The wales are cut from ebony. The gun deck framing will be cut from boxwood and that’s about all I’ve decided for now. So here are the pictures up to the current update. If you have a question along the way let me know and I’ll attempt to clarify. The first group here is the keel assembly then various frame pieces either ready for cutting or cut out. fatih79 1 Rusty "So Long For Now" Current Builds: Speedwell Completed Build Logs: HMS Winchelsea 1/48 Duchess of Kingston USF Confederacy , US Brig Syren , Triton Cross Section , Bomb Vessel Cross Section, Cutter Cheerful, Queen Anne Barge, Medway Longboat Completed Build Gallery: Brig Syren , 1870 Mississippi Riverboat , 1949 Chris-Craft 19' Runabout

Rustyj Posted February 17, 2013 Author #11 Posted February 17, 2013 Thanks all. It's great to be back. Coming up I'll be talking about treenailing theinboard planking. I used a Dremel Stylus, with lithium-ion battery, that Ireceived for my birthday. Thanks to the Admiral for that one. So having used it only occasionally so far I thought I would put to the test. I gave it a full charge and then started drilling treenails. Over several days I drill over 1100 treenails without recharging. Finally before I reached the 1200 mark the charge gave out. I couldn't have been more pleased. Now I have a good sense how much drilling I can do before losing a charge. And quite honestly I don't see a time I would drill that many treenails without stopping so that adds a bit of comfort. So now here I have the start of a row of trenails. And now here are all the treenails added and sanded down. Now awhile ago it was mentioned to me that I had not added the holes and cuts for the limber boards. As they were not on the original plans I didn't give them a thought. After looking at some other builders who did include them I though I'd give it a go. Not as good as Chad's and some of the others but I'm happy. Well that brings me up to date and now it's on to framing the lower gun deck.

Pete38 Posted February 17, 2013 #13 Posted February 17, 2013 Treenail look great! Is that bamboo you are using? Triton Cross Section 1:32 SEE YA LATER
Rustyj Posted February 17, 2013 Author #14 Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) Thanks Mark and Pete, For the exterior hull planking I used Pau Marfim which is the same wood as the planks. On the interior hull planking I tried to use cherry but that didn't work out. So I used boxwood instead. That worked really nice.

Trussben Posted February 17, 2013 #15 Posted February 17, 2013 Limber boards turned out great there Rusty, I think it was me who asked if you were going to add them.

Rustyj Posted February 20, 2013 Author #21 Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) Ok between reposting and trying to get somethings done I've never been so busy! That's not to mention trying to read the postings! Ok I've now started to frame the lower gun deck. I am using boxwood for the deck beams, knees and carlings. First I cut the deck beams and soaked them for 5 minutes. I then clamped the to a block with a shim placed at the center to obtain the deck camber. I slightly over bent them figuring they would flex back a little. I let them dry clamped foir 24 hours. I then released them and allowed them to sit another 24 hours. They now fit the deck camber. And here is the start of the deck framing.

Boccherini Posted February 20, 2013 #25 Posted February 20, 2013 Rusty, nice workmanship. How did you cut the mortices in the deck beams? They look really precise. Grant.
Snowmans Posted February 20, 2013 #26 Posted February 20, 2013 I have been watching this build for a while, great job. I will be using the same idea for bending the plank on my build.
Long9Ron Posted February 20, 2013 #27 Posted February 20, 2013 Rusty I like that method of bending the beams. I may try that with may build. Ron Current Build: H.M.S.

Matrim Posted February 20, 2013 #29 Posted February 20, 2013 It might have been Chad who I think steamed his. I thought about it but was to nervous about just missing the shape so 'cut' mine. Doing great though so far so keep it up.. Joss ...
Trussben Posted February 20, 2013 #30 Posted February 20, 2013 Very nice boxwood, I'm sure it's hobbymill so I won't even ask! So you are putting the notches in the beams, excellent, can I see some closeups of them please, pretty please? Ben Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM. HMS Winchelsea.
