druxey Posted July 24 #64 Posted July 24 Coming along very nicely, PA. After the bow is framed, the square frames will be a walk in the park!

Thukydides Posted July 24 #65 Posted July 24 Fantastic work. Those are some very neat looking frames Pirate adam and Keith Black 1 1 Current Builds: HMS Perseus (Scratch); Napoleonic Ship Miniatures (Semi-Scratch) Completed Builds: Type VII C U Boat (HobbyBoss); HM Cutter Alert (Vanguard Models)
Pirate adam Posted September 27 Author #66 Posted September 27 Finally some progress on the pointy end. I cut out the frames in the usual manner. I printed out an extra set of frame drawing, so I could add them to both sides of the frames. I did some pre-beveling, and then glued all the frames together into 2 stacks (not shown). I then did some shaping on the inside and outside of the frames before temporarily attaching to the stem. I marked the heights for the hawse holes and the level of the material that will remain when I cut the air gaps. jpalmer1970, BradNSW, Some Idea and 3 others 6
Pirate adam Posted September 27 Author #67 Posted September 27 I then removed the frames from the model and pulled them apart. This was super easy due to label paper on the frames. I then cut down each frame using the mill to create the air gaps. I won't even get into how many hawse timbers I made to get to this point before everything looked right and fits properly with the first cant frame. Next I will file in the hawse holes per the instructions in the Swan practicum. I also still need to do a bit of shaping of the bollards to get them to fit properly on the tapered stem, and then I will try to shape the knight heads.

jpalmer1970 Posted September 27 #68 Posted September 27 Looking very good, nice and clean and sharp. I am at a similar stage in my build and am finding it hard to be so exact. I suspect my present attempt at the hawser timbers will end up as a useful practice run 😀 Pirate adam and Keith Black 1 1 -‐-‐-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Current Build Hayling Hoy 1760 - First POF scratch build Completed HMB Endeavour's Longboat by Artesania Latina Completed HM Armed Cutter Alert by Vanguard Models Completed 18ft cutter and 34ft launch by Vanguard Models Completed Pen Duick by Artesania Latina
Pirate adam Posted September 28 Author #69 Posted September 28 I formed the knight heads on the top of the bollard timbers. I just used chisels, files, etc. The shape on my admiralty draught was relatively easy to form. Next step will be to file in the opening for the bowsprit and its chock. I hope not to encounter another piece on the ship as complicated as the bollards. Adam BradNSW, albert, Keith Black and 7 others 10

Pirate adam Posted yesterday at 01:04 AM Author #71 Posted yesterday at 01:04 AM I finally got a chance to start assembling the bow section. One side complete. This was very satisfying after wrestling with the hawse timbers for weeks. I will be very happy when this part is done and I can move on to the remaining cant frames and finally the square frames. jpalmer1970, Keith Black, dvm27 and 7 others 8 2
druxey Posted yesterday at 01:45 AM #72 Posted yesterday at 01:45 AM The first time one does hawse timbers it means a lot of do-overs. Looks like you've nailed them now. Well done! I prefer to file out the majority of the material for the hawse holes before I install those timbers. Saves drill tear-out issues and establishes the slope up of the holes.

I was weirdly nervous about making the holes too big, but making them in advance will save some risk later. I bought some sanding cord that I will use to make the existing holes bigger to where I get my little needle files in. Adam druxey, jpalmer1970, Mike Y and 1 other 4
