moreplovac Posted September 12 Author Share #61 Posted September 12 Continue with frame building, sanding, etc... after checking the thickness on all frame parts, I discovered some discrepancies on thickness due to bad plan copies and in most time, my mistakes... so some parts I will be able to reuse and some not... so new and old frames lined up... other, missing in this "fish line" are still on the board, waiting for cut..

moreplovac Posted September 14 Author Share #62 Posted September 14 Keel structure needed a bit of a extra work so here is current keel built stage.. Rabbet lines were giving me the hardest time, mistakes like missing correct plan line, too deep chisel cuts, slip over working part making bad scratch marks (not like "Cat scratch fever" Ted Nugget) etc, causing make of two extra stem, apron and forefoot parts... oh well, will have plenty of pear wood for other ship parts and other ship kits are waiting in line.. won't go to waste bin. Continue with wrapping up keel work so I can jump on frames... Happy modelling. CiscoH, GrandpaPhil, marsalv and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Idea Posted September 15 Share #63 Posted September 15 Lovely work I used to worry about all of the little scratches and marks but I have found that as the ship progresses they disappear into the detail. When I cut my rabbets I did them too shallow - when I build me next ship I will have an actual plank ready to help me cut to the right depth. Keep the updates coming! mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreplovac Posted September 15 Author Share #64 Posted September 15 Thank you No Idea, I was, I think, too worried with all those small dings and scratches, not that I would not care anymore, but looking into other's logs I start noticing them too often so I am not making a new keel structure... yeah, making an actual plank as a rabbet line depth reference is a very nice idea... Cheers No Idea and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreplovac Posted September 16 Author Share #65 Posted September 16 And to make my modelling life even more complicated, this is what arrived today, bigger scale: So, current build will definitelly be a learning curve..

moreplovac Posted 4 hours ago Author Share #68 Posted 4 hours ago Working now on transom timbers... Testing on a spare wood part, wing transom.. I think I grasped needed steps for wing transom... Now, started to work on lower transom timbers, from #5.. Not sure about you but I always trying to use protective gloves when using scalpels or other cutting tools.. have enough marcs on my tomb from "I can stop it no problem"... And a little bit of mistake... New part on the bench.. I think I have it done right, hopefully... not all cuts are done but the most difficult, at least for me, is completed... Here are various hand tools used for this piece.. Happy modelling.. druxey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
