mtaylor Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share #543 Posted October 6, 2014 Thank you for the "likes" everyone. Richard, I have the older version (not the current one) from MicroMark and rather large pile of accessories. When it dies... I'm thinking Byrnes. I've seen the shortened fence idea in several logs and finally got off my butt to do one. Happily, I can't induce it to kickback now.

mtaylor Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share #545 Posted October 26, 2014 Oh how time flies when we're having fun..... Ok.. got the shop back into shipyard mode and I'm working on the gunports. I have to thin the frames down some (to 1/16" at the ports) so that their wide enough... Done!!!! I then have to put in the sills, paying particular attention to the location at each end of the each sill. I still check each one. So far, 6 have been done. I also check each one with check tool made from some yellowheart. Actually not made. Turns out the pen blank I bought as a sample to see what yellowheart looked like was about 1/64" inch too big. A quick bit of sanding and it's perfect for the job. I'm scratching my head as Hahn made most of his ships in 1:96 and just a few in bigger scales. How the heck did thin the frames for the ports or get the level of detail he got, I'll never know. Anyway.. the pic. And like the rest of us, right now I'm hating the macro setting. src, Landlubber Mike, cog and 39 others 42 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NMBROOK Posted October 26, 2014 Share #559 Posted October 26, 2014 Excellent work Mark Not my favourite of jobs,trouble is most of my favourite subjects have 3 decks and lots of cannons Do you plan on leaving the fillers either side of the ports or are you removing them with the rest?I just wondered as they will be covered by planking I presume and things will become a little fragile without them.

mtaylor Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share #560 Posted October 27, 2014 Hi Nigel, I'm leaving in all the spacers. They will all be covered by planking but at this point, the support is necessary. I've already busted one frame thinning it out as I got a bit heavy-handed on the file. I will still need to go back over this whole thing again and fair in the sills and from the wale line up to the sheer.

NMBROOK Posted October 27, 2014 Share #561 Posted October 27, 2014 Leaving them in place makes a lot of sense Mark.The only thing worth considering is running the saw through three or four evenly spaced along the length of the hull immediately prior to planking.It would be insurance against any timber movement in the future which could result in the odd crack appearing.This can always be a problem when you have a long continuous 'stack' of timbers with the grain running vertically Kind Regards Nigel mtaylor, cog and BANYAN 3 Quote Currently working on Royal Caroline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

src Posted October 27, 2014 Share #566 Posted October 27, 2014 I see, so when the frames move they are not locked in place by the spacers. It would not have occurred to me that the frames would move enough for that to be a problem. I have seen furniture doors and bed rails tear a frame apart before but that is much larger parts so the movement is greater. Good to know thank you for clarifying. Sam Quote Current Build Constructo Enterprise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtaylor Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share #567 Posted October 27, 2014 Sam, I think it's more of the spacers and the frames swelling or shrinking instead of moving when the humidity changes. This could pop the planks off or wreck some havoc with the keel. The spacers are there at this point, only to provide some rigidity while fairing. If I weren't planking completely, they would come out. src and NMBROOK 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
