Trussben Posted April 9, 2013 Share #32 Posted April 9, 2013 Well done Rusty reaching the milestone, frames look great from here. What are you going to use for treenails?

Rustyj Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share #34 Posted April 9, 2013 Hi Jim, Greg, Pete, Ben and Mario. Thanks a lot. I sure hope it’s fun. I’m still thinking it will be past the sweep and gunports before the pressure will be less and the fun more. The treenails will be made from boxwood. I have had good luck with it so far.

Rustyj Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share #35 Posted April 19, 2013 All of the treenails have been completed and were made from boxwood. The end grain is quite a contrast. Here is the framing jig. I've also attached the keel to the building board. Moving on a bit slow but still moving! fatih79 and mtaylor 2 Quote Rusty "So Long For Now" Current Builds: Speedwell Completed Build Logs: HMS Winchelsea 1/48 Duchess of Kingston USF Confederacy , US Brig Syren , Triton Cross Section , Bomb Vessel Cross Section, Cutter Cheerful, Queen Anne Barge, Medway Longboat Completed Build Gallery: Brig Syren , 1870 Mississippi Riverboat , 1949 Chris-Craft 19' Runabout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trussben Posted April 19, 2013 Share #38 Posted April 19, 2013 Hey Rusty, I quite like the contrast with the treenails - i wouldn't of expected so much seeing its all boxwood. At least you at a point to start raising the frames, i haven't even had time to drill and tap my keel yet. Looks good mate. ben Rustyj 1 Quote Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM. HMS Winchelsea.

dvm27 Posted April 19, 2013 Share #39 Posted April 19, 2013 The treenails are darker because they're endgrain. I've used holly for treenails in the past with boxwood as they are less visible. There have been some punches described here where you can core out treenails from the face of a boxwood billet. Theses would be barely visible on the model after installation.

glbarlow Posted September 1, 2013 Share #42 Posted September 1, 2013 Hi Rusty, I'm thinking of building this cross section. Looks like its been a while since your last post, are you still working on it? I've been away from modeling for several years, just now coming back. Looks like you haven't slowed down.

Rustyj Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share #43 Posted September 4, 2013 Hi Glenn, Good to hear from you again. I devoted the bulk of my time recently to finishing the Triton Cross section. Now it’s time to start things back up again.
