cpt. Tom Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share #35 Posted May 31, 2014 (edited) Sooooooo, I still had something to do on the Helling but now it is finished The first keel part is also ready which was not very easy, so the keel-laying was on 05/30/14 It's different when you take finished components from a box or if you do everything yourself, it takes time :) but it´s funny So, let's see what else I get done today, all components from the keel are already cut out and they still need to be sanded Here are the pics :) Edited May 31, 2014 by cpt.

cpt. Tom Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share #38 Posted May 31, 2014 You're very welcome Hans Christian Hello Dick, Tom, are you making clamps for keel, sternpost and stempost? what do you mean with "clamps". The german word for "clamps" is "Klammer" ???????? Maybe you mean wood ledges.....I glue wooden strips next to the keel and I cut for the stern and the bow parts small incisions into the helling so that nothing can slip away. I hope this is that what you mean :) mtaylor 1 Quote With best regards Tom Current Kit Build Log The Sovereign of the Seas 1/84 commissioning HMS Supply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodrat Posted May 31, 2014 Share #39 Posted May 31, 2014 (edited) Tom, I highly recommend that you construct frames to rigidly hold the stem and stern posts. also take care that the keel is held by wood planks which go almost up to the rabbet line of the keel. here are some photos of the ones I made stempost clamp sternpost clamp. Note the allen key in the top of the clamp to tighten the bolt thereby holding the sternpost down. This will reduce the risk of twisting of the hull over time :) Dick Edited May 31, 2014 by woodrat Quote Current build: Le Gros Ventre 1:48 POF http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/564-le-gros-ventre-by-woodrat-scale-1-48-pof-1767-french-exploration-vessel/ Past builds: Mycenaean War Galley by Woodrat - 1:48 - Shell first Plank on Frame:https://modelshipworld.com/topic/33384-mycenaean-war-galley-by-woodrat-148-shell-first-plank-on-frame Venetian round ship 14th century by Woodrat fully framed - 1:40 scale Completed https://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/17991-venetian-round-ship-14th-century-by-woodrat-fully-framed-140-scale Venetian Carrack or Cocha 1/64 by woodrat https://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/4915-venetian-carrack-or-cocha-164-by-woodrat completed United States Frigate Essex 1:64 POF http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/4496-usf-essex-by-woodrat-scale-1-64-fully-framed-from-takakjian-plans/ - completed Yenikapi12 by Woodrat - 1/16 scale - a small Byzantine merchant vessel of the 9th century https://modelshipworld.com/topic/23815-yenikapi12-by-woodrat-116-scale-a-small-byzantine-merchant-vessel-of-the-9th-century-finished/ The Incredible Hulc by Woodrat - an experimental reconstruction of a mediaeval transport https://modelshipworld.com/topic/25641-the-elusive-hulc-by-woodrat-finished-a-speculative-reconstruction-of-a-mediaeval-merchantman-132-plank-on-frame/ Location: Perth, Western Australia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

42rocker Posted June 3, 2014 Share #48 Posted June 3, 2014 1st thought and it might be wrong but I think that it is an end view of the part of the right showing size and shape.

woodrat Posted June 4, 2014 Share #50 Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) Tom, the drawing shows the sternpost knee and filler from aft. On top is a plan view. This shows the progressive narrowing of the knee as you go from fore to aft towards the rabbet in order to accommodate the run of planking. I hope this helps,.

dgbot Posted June 4, 2014 Share #51 Posted June 4, 2014 My only problem with this print is actually doing the narrowing. My sense of depth has never been good so on an average I take off a little too much and have to start over.
