giampieroricci Posted December 21, 2013 Author #62 Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) I finished the keelson, and then I started laying dormant bridge Edited September 14, 2014 by giampieroricci avsjerome2003, garyshipwright, AnobiumPunctatum and 10 others 13 Quote
giampieroricci Posted December 26, 2013 Author #63 Posted December 26, 2013 (edited) I also fixed the sleepers of the formwork, but first I had to make the last beam, with a particular shape as it follows the curve of the transom and gets stuck there. I also started to open a gunboat Edited September 14, 2014 by giampieroricci Jeronimo, Bluto 1790, herask and 12 others 15 Quote

giampieroricci Posted December 29, 2013 Author #65 Posted December 29, 2013 (edited) Thank you!!! I finally fixed the last beam formwork, which fits into the oarlocks of the transom: Meanwhile, I continued working on the opening of the gunboats of the bridge and the openings for the scuttles of the oars; for them I made a template sheet to try to make them all equal Edited September 14, 2014 by giampieroricci Bluto 1790, PeteB, garyshipwright and 5 others 8 Quote

giampieroricci Posted December 31, 2013 Author #67 Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) I finished opening the gunboats and I started to prepare the thresholds, which have a particular concavity, to which I have built a custom "tool" this is the tool: Edited September 14, 2014 by giampieroricci SailorGreg, WackoWolf, Dubz and 9 others 11 1 Quote
giampieroricci Posted January 1, 2014 Author #68 Posted January 1, 2014 Today I finished working on the gunner. I have completed the thresholds and lintels. This is the window of the cabin of the Captain PeteB, WackoWolf, druxey and 9 others 11 1 Quote
giampieroricci Posted January 4, 2014 Author #70 Posted January 4, 2014 I finished the gunboats also from the inside I also fixed the sleepers of the castle I also started to prepare the battens of flowers: job rather difficult to prepare, especially because you do not have much space to be able to score perfectly all measures NMBROOK, Bluto 1790, Elmer Cornish and 6 others 9 Quote
giampieroricci Posted January 5, 2014 Author #71 Posted January 5, 2014 Before continuing the work inside, I decided to finish the topsides on the outside because I want to remove all the bolts that cause me many problems and hassles by cutting the excess coast and finishing on the gunwale.I then prepared the tool, converted from an old saw blade and molded with a small disk, for the course that I started to fix cabrapente, popash42, Jaekon Lee and 9 others 12 Quote
giampieroricci Posted January 6, 2014 Author #72 Posted January 6, 2014 Now it begins to outline the final form of this corvette, at least on the starboard side: I fixed the piece of plank molded bow, prepared and glued the other strip molded, smaller, which limits the performance of the formwork and I started to cut and trim oarlocks of double coasts gieb8688, garyshipwright, Bluto 1790 and 7 others 10 Quote

giampieroricci Posted January 11, 2014 Author #75 Posted January 11, 2014 Thank you!! :) Small forward: I set the molded course on the left side and I started to wrap the starboard side starting with the two courses between the moldings at the stern, ebonyThis is my "powerful" cutting tool for the oarlocks of double coasts: Wishmaster, Bluto 1790, mtaylor and 8 others 11 Quote

giampieroricci Posted January 21, 2014 Author #77 Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) I continued with the bandage of the topsides, I realized I had made a serious error to paste the thresholds of the gunboats: the angle between the threshold and the side wall is pretty sharp and this did not allow for a perfect installation of the course below thresholds, for obvious reasons, leaving a little 'air.I removed very carefully thresholds and set the course and the joints redone, everything went perfectly, although I remove a threshold, have resulted in the rupture of an oarlock to the coast, but this will not be seen because it will be covered by the plating .

giampieroricci Posted January 25, 2014 Author #79 Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) I finished the installation of the courses between the doors and started to finish with fine sandpaper to remove the glue residue and the excess of black cardboard. I also finished the edges of the gunboats and scuttles the oars. Edited September 14, 2014 by giampieroricci Dubz, herask, NMBROOK and 7 others 10 Quote
