ziled68 Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share #151 Posted June 9, 2014 As I've written before. Congrats to a wonderful model. Which height and width has your display case? I think, that my full hull build will need a lot of spcae. Good morning Christian, The case is approximately 9" wide, 19" long, and 33" tall. If you are going to build a case for your full build, the only dimension you would have to change is the 9" to whatever dimension you need.

yamsterman Posted June 20, 2014 Share #158 Posted June 20, 2014 Hi ray Great work on your extended cross section.can't wait to get started on mine! How did you find working with basswood? Its readily available over here in the UK but I tend to find it quite "fluffy" .how do you keep a nice square and well defined edge? Do you scrape rather than sand? Cheers......mick ziled68 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bindy Posted June 21, 2014 Share #159 Posted June 21, 2014 Hello Raymond, I too would like to congratulate on the completion of an incredible model.

I can't wait to follow your next project and steal some more hints, tips, and ideas and inspiration! ziled68 1 Completed Build: Bregante Il Leudo Merchant Launch - Mamoli - 1:72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers......mick Greetings Mick, I appreciate your words and I must say that you will enjoy your journey with the HMS Triton. I've always wanted to tackle a POF and with the Triton I was able to do just that. In regards to basswood I have had no issues. I believe that it cuts well, holds a pretty decent edge, and can easily be manipulated to what you ask of it. I will sit on the sidelines and watch you progress on this marvelous build.

I have truly enjoyed my experience with, and quite proud of, my Triton (especially after that slight misunderstanding at the very beginning). I am now scheduled to work on the "New Bedford Whaleboat" that a friend gave me due to the assistance I gave him with the enclosure of a porch. I must confess one thing, I am still thinking of the Triton and I may/may not try a full build of her. Seeing that I will be stationed here for another three years I am seriously considering it.

mrjimmy Posted June 24, 2014 Share #162 Posted June 24, 2014 Hey, Ray....... Fine work on your Triton cross section; very much envied. Question: What gauge wire, or diameter, did you use for your ringbolts you made (I assume) for your gun tackles? Thanks. Si Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziled68 Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share #163 Posted June 25, 2014 Uncle Si, Sorry for the delay. I had some left over wire used for an alarm system that seemed to be the right size for my ring bolts. Once the wire was stripped of its plastic sleeve, it came out to be 1/32" in diameter. I hope this helps. Ray Raymond Current Build: USF Essex Completed Builds: 1745 Mediator Sloop 1:147 scale New Bedford Whaleboat H.M.S.

mrjimmy Posted June 25, 2014 Share #164 Posted June 25, 2014 Thank you, Ray, that was exactly what I needed to know. I have been playing around with several different gauges of wire to make ringbolts and hooks for a 1:48 model I am building, and I felt that yours were fairly close to the right size for that scale. Thanks again for your help. Si ziled68 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boccherini Posted July 10, 2014 Share #165 Posted July 10, 2014 Raymond, that is a fine looking cross section, the extras have made it an interesting model.
