Rustyj Posted April 6, 2013 Author #91 Posted April 6, 2013 Did you enjoy making them? I hated making these more than I did sanding I think. Hi Joss, I'll let you know. I still have 6 to go. So far they are on the top of my list as the least amount of fun. A good challenge but the fun level is a little low.

Long9Ron Posted April 7, 2013 #92 Posted April 7, 2013 Rusty Your build is looking very nice. I haven't made any knees yet and I'm not looking forward to making them. But, when I do I hope that they will turn out to be as nice as yours. Ron Current Build: H.M.S.

Rustyj Posted April 8, 2013 Author #95 Posted April 8, 2013 Thanks Ron, Ben and Larry. The first successful knee took about an hour and a half. I’ve got it down to almost 45 minutes now. Five down and five to go.

Rustyj Posted April 13, 2013 Author #96 Posted April 13, 2013 All of the knees are now finished and installed. Taking these pictures I noticed a couple of gaps I didn't notice before. Dang camera's. Next up will be to cut the notches for the carlings. Normally it's better to cut them while the ledges are off the model. That doesn't work so well for me. I end up with carlings that look like they are drunk. So I cut out the plans and glue them on the ledges and check them with a piece of wood laid over them to make sure I have a straight run. Them I cut the notches and fit the carlings. This will take awhile but I'll keep you informed. harvey1847, fatih79, rummy and 1 other 4 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

mtaylor Posted April 13, 2013 #100 Posted April 13, 2013 Gaps? What gaps? I even zoomed in... It might be better (by some people's definition) to cut the notches off ship, but you do what's right for you. I tried it both ways on mine and found I preferred to do them "on ship" also.

Rustyj Posted April 15, 2013 Author #107 Posted April 15, 2013 Well here is a start on all of the carlings. You can see how I first cut out the plans and glue them in place and then work my way around cutting the notches and fitting the carlings. That's a start but there are a whole bunch more to do! fatih79 and aykutansin 2 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
Boccherini Posted April 15, 2013 #108 Posted April 15, 2013 Rusty, nice start. Are you cutting out mortices for the ledges or filing angled slots in the carlings? Regards, Grant.
Rustyj Posted April 15, 2013 Author #109 Posted April 15, 2013 Hi Grant. I am cutting mortices. You see some angle cuts on the ledges but that is my first step in cutting them out. I try to get the width correct and then I do the depth. Thanks.

Rustyj Posted April 16, 2013 Author #114 Posted April 16, 2013 Thank you all. Pete. I just lay an old towel on the bench, grip the model with my left hand and cut with my right. That way I can twist and turn it as needed. A vise, for this, I find is to restrictive. If you had a piture of this you would think I'm trying to crawl inside.
