Trussben Posted January 9, 2015 Author #304 Posted January 9, 2015 Hey Druxey, At the moment I am just laying in store and I havent totally decided yet, as you know I have been working in CAD on my own plans of Indefatigable but they are still a long way from completion, Maybe a different Frigate before tackling the Indy.

Trussben Posted February 1, 2015 Author #309 Posted February 1, 2015 Thanks Guys, Druxey - I'm going to spend some time completing fairing the inside of the hull, then align all the toptimbers and get them all to correct height, then remove all of the temp basswood spacers and install new pear ones, that's a good few weeks work for me as I spend a lot of time traveling for work these days, that's the plan anyway.

Trussben Posted March 19, 2015 Author #325 Posted March 19, 2015 Another addition to the wood stock pile, a couple of billets of nice white Holly stacked on top of my boxwood, Holly is getting really difficult to obtain here in US, So I get whatever I can when the chances arise. I may have some updates to show on Pegasus next week - Ive been working away a lot lately and the sanding and fairing of the inside hull is taking quite a bit of time to get really good. ben druxey, billocrates, augie and 2 others 5 Quote Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM.

Trussben Posted March 21, 2015 Author #327 Posted March 21, 2015 Hey all, Well the internal fairing is pretty much completed so I released the hull from the build board, so I can start external fairing and will also help to complete the internal as I can hold the hull in my lap and be able to access parts that the buildboard made difficult. I see a lot of sanding in my future! Ben dj.bobo, realworkingsailor, Wishmaster and 15 others 18 Quote Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM. HMS Winchelsea.

dvm27 Posted March 21, 2015 #329 Posted March 21, 2015 Yes, much fun fairing and knuckle bleeding, Ben. Keep applying pencil marks across the hull to pick up the high and low spots while fairing. When all pencil traces are done, so are you. druxey 1 Quote GregwebsiteAdmiralty Modelsmoderator Echo Cross-section buildAdmiralty Models Cross-section BuildFinished buildPegasus, 1776, cross-sectionCurrent buildSpeedwell, 1752
Trussben Posted March 22, 2015 Author #330 Posted March 22, 2015 Thanks Everyone for the likes. Druxey - Yep the fillers were added at the same time as the square frames, I do see some small gaps here and there which will need to be filled. Greg - the pencil method is what I used for internal fairing and it worked well so I will use it for doing the external. Ben druxey and billocrates 2 Quote Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM.
