Pygothian Posted October 17, 2013 Share #424 Posted October 17, 2013 Keith- I've always been afraid someone would ask that question . The old log was about 50 pages when it went down --- but in those days there were only 10 posts/page. I don't really care about the # of pages although I know it annoys some people. I post as many photos as I can without being silly. With Syren it was about 135 photos. Confed will be more as I've learned what folks might like to see. My logs are open to everyone and I welcome active participation. Those who don't care for our 'family' environment can choose not to follow. As Andy said earlier, all chances of this being a 'highbrow' log went out the window with the appearance of the first moose. Of course I'm part of the problem as I tend to care as much about the folks on here as I do about reporting that I glued stick 'A' into slot 'B'. More pics in a day or so. I'm hoping you managed to save those 135 photos and your log, or someone else. I'd love to see it in preparation for my build Cheers!

augie Posted October 19, 2013 Author Share #429 Posted October 19, 2013 Gun port framing has been completed : I used a spacer this time around to insure that the ports are all the same width and set at the correct angle. Everything was faired into the hull . Sanded and filed the inside of each port so they are basically ready for painting in a few days. Next up is a rail amidships and some hances. riverboat, Pygothian, hamilton and 11 others 14 Quote Augie Current Build: US Frigate Confederacy - MS 1:64 Previous Builds : US Brig Syren (MS) - 2013 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Greek Tug Ulises (OcCre) - 2009 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Victory Cross Section (Corel) - 1988 Essex (MS) 1/8"- 1976 Cutty Sark (Revell 1:96) - 1956 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtaylor Posted October 19, 2013 Share #434 Posted October 19, 2013 Holy cow.... er... elk. In another couple of weeks at this rate, you'll be doing ratlines. Now I remember why I'm retiring... to keep up with your log and speed at which you're progressing. I'm guessing you live in a residential area with no hunting from the back porch? That would explain the elk hiding out there.

augie Posted October 19, 2013 Author Share #435 Posted October 19, 2013 Thanks everyone! A few leagues to travel before planking becomes the order of the day. Lots of timber to still lay in. Then we need to pick a proper red for the bulwarks. All fun stuff . MARK--- no, no elk hunting down here at what we call 'sea level' (5230 feet). Do have some fishing to do this next week before winter closes in. And you think retirement is gonna be easy. I'm waiting to see what happens to you in 13 days!

augie Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share #446 Posted October 20, 2013 OK, I couldn't stay out of the shop so here's a small update The hances and midship rails have been completed. These will act as a substrate for the hull planking to come. Fairing the hances to the hull shape was challenging (I won't mention the pencil sander again) but test planks seem to lie nicely at this point: Next up will be laying out the sweep ports. There is a half cord of lumber, 3/8" square, that needs to be fitted between the bulkheads and faired prior to laying these out.
