KarenM Posted February 13 #1 Posted February 13 Today I start building a new ship. The ship will be in Admiralty style. Regarding the spar, I haven’t decided yet whether to do it or not. At the moment, I made drawings of the frames and began cutting them out. In total I got 60 frames. chris watton, Mike Y, Ronald-V and 3 others 5 1 Quote

KarenM Posted February 15 Author #5 Posted February 15 I ordered a friend some pear wood for frames. A whole box arrived, this is only for the ship's hull. I immediately started cutting frames on my CNC. Now I will be cutting frames for a month. Archi, laarmada, Hubac's Historian and 7 others 10 Quote

KarenM Posted February 15 Author #7 Posted February 15 I found only one diagram of this ship, but there are doubts that it corresponds to the original. There are a lot of oddities and inaccuracies on it. I definitely won't follow it. I will clarify the details using models and drawings of English ships of that time, which are in museums. allanyed, Trumper07, scrubbyj427 and 7 others 10 Quote
KarenM Posted February 29 Author #8 Posted February 29 First, I drew all the frames, then laid them out on wooden blocks. Then I created the trajectories in the ArtCam program. Now I'm sawing them out. It takes an hour to cut one piece, 120 dies in total. CiscoH, GrandpaPhil, Trussben and 10 others 12 1 Quote

KarenM Posted April 7 Author #21 Posted April 7 (edited) I started building the ship from the bow. I want to build a small part, then sand the inside. If the fragment is large, sanding will be inconvenient. Edited April 7 by KarenM VTHokiEE, davyboy, Hubac's Historian and 10 others 12 1 Quote

druxey Posted April 12 #23 Posted April 12 Coming along nicely. The slot for the lion figure needs to allow for the two-way taper of the knee of the head. It is not slab parallel sided. mtaylor, allanyed, Hubac's Historian and 1 other 4 Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv
