Have you thought of using this as the base for a wreck diorama or similar where trennel counting isn't so important?

Mike Y Posted January 27, 2014 #516 Posted January 27, 2014 Hi Mark, If I would have to face this situation, I would also think that it is a difficult way to learn. But the desire to build and create is much more stronger. I tried ounce the the Hahn way with the frigate of 44 guns, I would not try it twice, the main reason being I do not like to work upside down. Did you know that some 20 or 25 years after Hahn, a little genius by the name of David created a method: - much more enjoyable to build - much more similar to the real method to build and - much more easy to build Mark, you will probably want to go in the Licorne V2.0. I am not trying to tell you not to go. I just wants to make sure that you are aware that there are easier ways to build and mainly that you will get plans in a much higher degre of accuracy and details with peoples like David and Ed, and that the better the plans are the better the results are going to be... it is simply mathematic. Could you please share a link to a David's method? Thanks a lot! popeye the sailor 1 Quote Current build: Beavers Prize - POF 1:48 (Hahn style) Side builds: Schooner Polotsk by Master Korabel 18th Century Longboat by MS Finished: 21ft English Pinnace by MS

SJSoane Posted January 31, 2014 #523 Posted January 31, 2014 Hi Mark, I would agree with Gaetan about considering building version 2 in the Antscherl method, rather than the Hahn method. I used a modified Hahn method on my Bellona before I even knew about Antscherl's method, and if I had it to do over again I would without hesitation build it right side up. Much easier to see what is really going on and adjust, and it is more fun to work on a ship as it would really look, right from the beginning. I spent years looking at an upside down hull, wondering what it would look like when I could finally turn it over. Why delay the gratification? But whatever you are most comfortable with. Best wishes, Mark popeye the sailor and mtaylor 2 Quote Current build: HMS Bellona 74, ca. 1760, 1:64 http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/196-hms-bellona-by-sjsoane-scale-164-1760-as-designed/
mtaylor Posted January 31, 2014 Author #524 Posted January 31, 2014 Mark, I've considered it as I can use the planking part of the Hahn plan for the baseboard. I may change my mind but at this point, I'm inclined to do this one the Hahn way and get more familiar with all the processes involved. With this project, compared to the other Hahn plans I have, there seems to be a fair amount of guesswork involved with things like transoms, quarter gallery and stern and head area construction... the stuff that really isn't included on the plans and needs to be worked out. The one part of this method that I do like is the rigidity of everything held in place by the buildboard. With the way I have my bench set up, in a very few minutes I can flip the ship completely over. I'm also looking ahead at my next project after this one and I'll be keeping the Antscherl method in mind as to what it would take to do one that way. Thanks for looking in and for you and Gaetan along with everyone else for giving me some food for thought. Far better than granola, IMO. popeye the sailor and BANYAN 2 Quote Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned)
