USF Confederacy by Augie & Moonbug - FINISHED - Model Shipways - 1:64


Recommended Posts

Thanks gents!  I enjoy framing......it's all the rest of the stuff I stink at.  Lots of carpentry left on this lady :)  :)

 

I keep thinking of Ben's log where he gets out to something like page 75 and discovers he's 1/264 " short somewhere and saws off the stern with a circular saw for a total do-over.  I don't have that saw  :D  :D :D  :D

Haha! Only 1/64 out!!! But it played a part of my QG's were all screwed up!

Take your time Augie! She is a big girl and 1/64 will show if your not careful while you are framing it all.

After seeing your lovely Syren, I hardly think this is an accurate statement! 

This build will be no less beautiful...it's well on its way.

So do I Augie,

 

Hunting Moose is over,

No snow to shuffle.

No fishing in the mountains.

The floor of the cave is clean.

So what is your excuse ?????

Augie, from your framing we can tell that you enjoy. I'm very anxious to see some planking going on this monster. BTW, your Broncos look very tough this year. I'm hoping my Bengals can keep a winning streak for a bit.

Pressure is incentive Floyd. 

 

Thanks for all the comments.  Every one of you guys and gals is a heavy hitter on here and I respect all of your work immensely.

 

Patrick-  Good luck on your end.  To be honest though, I'm a baseball fan and, as a native New Yorker, I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Yankee fan.

Wayne - All I can offer is patience and loyalty are rewarded. I am a graduate of the University of Oregon. in my day we were known as the spoiler. We never won enough games to achieve anything significant. All we did was ruin the chances of other teams. But now! We are #2 in the nation and it is fun to be a Duck!

Adequately psyched by Wes' words of encouragement ( :D ), we embark on the gun ports.  First the Quarter Deck.

 

As mentioned earlier, Chuck provides templates for the gun ports.  These are considerately placed on a sheet separate from the rest of the plans so you are not cutting your plans to shreds.  The first photo shows the template for the 10 Quarter Deck gun ports in place:

 

post-56-0-90287800-1381943040_thumb.jpg

 

As can be seen in the above photo, one bulkhead extension needs to be removed as it falls in the middle of a gun port.  This will also occur on the gun deck.  This next photo shows the fine-tooth Exacto saw blade I used for this as well as the pencil marks delineating the upright positions as transferred from the template:

 

post-56-0-77556600-1381943275_thumb.jpg

 

This last photo shows the quarter deck gun ports completed and faired, as well as the template for the starboard side gun deck gun ports now in place.  Several things worth mentioning.......  The gun ports are not meant to be squares at this point.  They are slightly wider than high.  This is true of the ports for both the 6 and 12 pounders.  Also, the lintel or rail above the quarter deck gun ports is only temporary and will be removed once (as) the bulkwark planking moves up the hull.  A formal cap rail will be fitted at that point:

With 28 gun ports to complete on the gun deck as the next step, everyone gets a few days off without having to listen to me (try to keep the cheers at a minimum).   I am almost caught up with PAGE ONE of Ben's log :D  :D :D .   

 

Everyone stay well  :cheers:
