Trussben Posted January 15, 2022 Author Share #788 Posted January 15, 2022 Thanks for the likes and nice comments. Upper deck framing is now completed. Next steps will be the waterways, port stops, bulwark planking up to the next deck clamps and then the stern framing. I also have to start thinking/designing how much of the upper deck will be planked and how much I will leave open so the framing and lower deck can be seen. ben shipmodel, herask, dvm27 and 26 others 26 3 Quote Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM.

Trussben Posted January 26, 2022 Author Share #791 Posted January 26, 2022 Thanks all, JJ - it’s a fine line with how much planking to add as I still have not decided if I’m going to rig the ship and how many cannons I want if any to display. Will need to make my mind up pretty soon after I finish the Bulwark though. Seventynet, mtaylor and scrubbyj427 3 Quote Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM. HMS Winchelsea.

Trussben Posted February 27, 2022 Author Share #794 Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) Started to plan out how I intend to plank the main deck, this is one of the layouts I’m considering if I decide to add cannons.

Hubac's Historian Posted February 27, 2022 Share #797 Posted February 27, 2022 I am far from knowledgeable on 18th C. practice, but would a deck be done in anchor-stock planking? mtaylor 1 Quote We are all works in progress, all of the time.

druxey Posted February 27, 2022 Share #798 Posted February 27, 2022 Yes, HH. The area where the gun carriage trucks traversed were done in 'top and butt' and of oak, not deal.

Hubac's Historian Posted February 27, 2022 Share #800 Posted February 27, 2022 Does that mean that the interspace to the coamings would be regular butt-shift planking out of deal? druxey 1 Quote We are all works in progress, all of the time.

Trussben Posted February 27, 2022 Author Share #801 Posted February 27, 2022 I’m going to make several templates to show planking with no guns, guns on one side, guns on both sides and a hybrid of all to try and figure out what I want to artistically show on my model. ACad makes this easier for me now that I have the general layout for my hull and deck shape/dimensions inputted to make several of these pretty easily. dvm27, scrubbyj427, mtaylor and 2 others 5 Quote Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM.

When I began model ship building, I was covering all the decks with planking simply because there is planking on a deck. Then I followed Harold Hahn representation, for the guns and in the middle. Then only for the guns, not in the middle and surely not when there is nothing that comes on the deck. Today, I do as less as possible of planking, the downside: no guns, the good side, I can take a photo and see everything up to the keel.

Hey Greg It had better be as it evolved from the Deck framing plans that I created and you saw before while the deck was being built, with just a few tweaks needed. druxey, tlevine, BANYAN and 1 other 4 Quote Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM.

Trussben Posted August 21, 2022 Author Share #809 Posted August 21, 2022 Now I’m trying to figure out the layout for the stern, I see that I do need to do a bit of fairing to the outer counter Timbers to make them and the inner framing a little thinner.
