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! scrubbyj427, Keith Black and Pirate adam 2 1 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
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 Saturday at 01:47 AM Author #66 Posted Saturday at 01:47 AM 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. Some Idea, Keith Black, jpalmer1970 and 2 others 5
Pirate adam Posted Saturday at 01:55 AM Author #67 Posted Saturday at 01:55 AM 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 Saturday at 08:58 PM #68 Posted Saturday at 08:58 PM 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 Sunday at 11:13 PM Author #69 Posted Sunday at 11:13 PM 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 cotrecerf, Keith Black, Some Idea and 4 others 7
