cog Posted June 4, 2014 #301 Posted June 4, 2014 Can't take a day off and you start a-new ... Since all seats have been taken, I'll be the shadow standing at the back somewhere, trying to get a peak at the master's workmanship. Nice to see some saw- and sanddust flying again. I can almost smell it here ... P.s. Glad to know Xmas has been moved to April mtaylor 1 Quote Carl "Desperate affairs require desperate measures." Lord Nelson Search and you might find a log ...
mtaylor Posted June 5, 2014 Author #302 Posted June 5, 2014 Hi Carl, Good to see you back.. there's still seats available. No point in standing as this is going slowly. And thanks for the compliment even though I am a mere apprentice.

mtaylor Posted June 5, 2014 Author #303 Posted June 5, 2014 Minor milestone... Half of the 42 full frames have been installed. Spacers have been glued into place and gunports are rought cut. Final position with sills will be done after the first pass at fairing before the half frames are installed. I'm finding minor tolerance build up issues but nothing that's a show stopper. Anyway, here's piccy's.... dafi, cpt.

NenadM Posted June 5, 2014 #304 Posted June 5, 2014 Master work Mark Assotiation in this stage According to the ironborn legend, Nagga was the first sea dragon, able to feed on krakens and leviathans and drown islands when angry. The Grey King, helped by the Drowned God, managed to slay her on the shores of the island Old Wyk and built there his hall out of her bones. Her jaws became his throne and her teeth made his crown. He warmed his hall with her living fire. However, when the Grey King died, the Storm God drowned out her fire and the sea took the throne. Only her bones that made the pillars and beams remain. popeye the sailor, mtaylor, Piet and 2 others 5 Quote In progress: CUTTY SARK - Tehnodidakta => scratch => Campbell plans http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/2501-cutty-sark-by-nenad-tehnodidakta-scratched-campbells-plans/page-1#entry64653 Content of log : http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/2501-cutty-sark-by-nenad-tehnodidakta-scratched-campbells-plans/page-62#entry217381 Past build: Stella, Heller kit, plastic, Santa Maria, Tehnodidakta kit, wood, Jolly Roger Heller kit, plastic

Hahn used English style cants and the frame and spaces are off. But, since I'm fully planking, the framing will be hidden anyway. alangr4 1 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)

Trussben Posted June 7, 2014 #318 Posted June 7, 2014 Hi Mark, Looks great and you are motoring along nicely, I'm stalled on the bollard/hawse timbers at the moment. Just a question but I notice in the pics that the frame heels are not all the way into their slots on the rising wood, is the keel there just for looks at the moment? No frames glued to anything yet? Ben mtaylor 1 Quote Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM. HMS Winchelsea. Completed builds: ECHO cross section.18th C Longboat.QA Barge. Medway Longboat.
mtaylor Posted June 7, 2014 Author #319 Posted June 7, 2014 Thanks for looking and commenting, Grant and Ben. Ben, The keel isn't glued on yet as I have to remove it to set the next frame.. and the next... and... yeah... forever. What it does do is give me the spacing at the keel and thus, helps to keep everything squared up. Once all the full frames are in, I'll do some fairing of the hull and then carefully and properly (I hope) get the keel set into the frames. I will also need to do some re-work of the rabbet and the taper into it for the planking. You're stalled? Ye of the checkerboard floor fame? Maybe I should just abandon all hope for myself now.... alangr4 1 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)
