threebs Posted December 9, 2024 Author #2 Posted December 9, 2024 I have included the bulkhead drawings of the Pennsylvania in 1/72 scale and placed one for the Constitution next to it to give you a size comparison. The bulkheads on the Penny are so big I had to make two sides to get them on a 8x11 sheet of paper. Also working on the masts. GrandpaPhil, mtaylor, Javelin and 1 other 4

Justin P. Posted January 17 #7 Posted January 17 Just catching up on this build, nice work so far! I wish I could carve at that scale... I always get frustrated with the clarity of detail and then quit. That wheel looks great. mtaylor 1 Current: Galley WASHINGTON 1776 - Scale 1:48 Completed: HMS TRITON - Cross Section - Scale 1:48 / Gallery Secret Vessel MOREL - Master Korabel - Scale 1:36 / Gallery 18th Century Armed Longboat - Model Shipways - Scale 1:24 / Gallery HMS BOUNTY Launch - Model Shipways - Scale 1:16 / Gallery Indefinite Hold: US Brig SYREN - Model Shipways - Scale 1:64

threebs Posted February 19 Author #11 Posted February 19 Time to work on my least favorite part of the ship. The gun ports. I have most of them rough cut out. I will not do the spar deck gun ports until all the others are finished. Experience has taught me that if I cut them out the wales will break off constantly as I hold on to it to shape the lower deck ports. This is the Pennsylvania. Paryzek, wefalck, eatcrow2 and 2 others 5
threebs Posted February 26 Author #12 Posted February 26 Gun ports are mostly done. Some adjustments on a few still needed, brindle ports still need to go in and 2 spar deck ports at the bow. Coyote_6, ccoyle, Seahawk1313 and 4 others 7

Paryzek Posted March 21 #19 Posted March 21 These huge ships from the end of the sailing era absolutely fascinate me. My favorite is Le Valmy, I have some plans, but I'll probably never get around to building this model. Too big a challenge. I enjoy following your construction diary. mtaylor 1 - Pavel - Sorry, my english is bad, I must use a translator. Praise makes you happy, but criticism makes you better.
threebs Posted March 21 Author #20 Posted March 21 The translator works fine! If it will help, I have a scratch building you tube channel you can look at. @gregbaumgartner8257 mtaylor and Paryzek 2
Paryzek Posted March 21 #21 Posted March 21 I'll take a look, thank you. mtaylor 1 - Pavel - Sorry, my english is bad, I must use a translator. Praise makes you happy, but criticism makes you better.
threebs Posted Wednesday at 09:05 PM Author #23 Posted Wednesday at 09:05 PM Carved the balcony supports and decorations between the lower stern windows. The piece on the hull with all the carvings on it for the other side will need to be redone. Somehow it got brushed off my work bench top onto the floor. No I did not steep on it. My grand daughter came into my shop to visit along with her new puppy. Need I say more? vossiewulf, Coyote_6 and eatcrow2 2 1
