Beef Wellington Posted October 24, 2014 Author #61 Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) Thanks gents and for the kind words all the 'likes' Lou - Thanks for stopping by. I've been pretty lucky so far, taking it really slow. I did have one reject where I made the error of mistakenly assuming that the slots in the false deck should be fully replicated in the margin plank - this would result in the slot being visible once the bulkhead bulwarks were planked, but wont make that mistake again. B.E. - always appreciate your critical eye Jim - I am having a lot of fun doing it....once the initial fear was cast aside. Seeing you and Eamon tackle yours convinced me to try. Sjors - There will be no treenails! Personal preference only, I'd like to avoid the measles and don't think they would be visible at this scale; but I don't want to resurrect that whole debate again! ONE day, many years in the future, if I ever manage a POF then I would do treenails as I think these types of models demonstrate the physical structure and construction techniques. Joe - deck is maple, I ordered purchased from Caldercraft when they sent my replacement keel former. Thought I had ordered enough for the upper decks as well but I'm seeing a higher rate of wastage than I'd like because of splintering on the edge of the planking. I'll probably try CMB next time.

mort stoll Posted October 25, 2014 #64 Posted October 25, 2014 Hi Jason, Hobbymill is a great source for your wood. Just an FYI if you should need any in the future. They supplied me with wood for my Rattlesnake and it was great. I have maple on order from him for my Diana.

ASAT Posted October 25, 2014 #65 Posted October 25, 2014 Jason, was it just the AOS book that influenced your decision on Diana? I ask as I am trying to decide between Diana and Aggy as well. I like them both but have to choose, either way I would upgrade wood and use minimal paint/stain. Any insight that led to your decision would be appreciated.

Beef Wellington Posted October 27, 2014 Author #68 Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) Mort - I did consider Jeff (and have bought some boxwood from him), but I was counting my pennies and thought I could make do with some lesser maple given the quantities needed Lou - it was a hard decision! I did like having the AOTS to reference but the HMS Bellona AOTS book could probably be used as a proxy for the Agamemnon. A frigate was also appealing because there is slightly less repetition (cannons, ports etc) but I also wanted to replace some of the wood for a more 'Admiralty' feel, I felt Diana kit was maybe more manageable based on my skill level - we'll see how that turns out. Size wise, the Diana is similar in size to the Agamemnon so its still big. The final thing that swayed me was that there are a couple of kits on the horizon but not available yet that have piqued my interest (Chris Watton's 1:64 Victory, and the 1:72 Bellona), so my next build (can't believe I'm even saying this because it will be years away) will likely be a ship of the line - I've given up hope on the Caldercraft 74, but you never know...there is always the CC Agamemnon or Amati Bellerophon. Hamilton - thanks for the kind comment - not perfect, but I'm happy how its turning out. Stergios - cheers mate, looking forward to more of your progress soon as well!

Beef Wellington Posted November 22, 2014 Author #71 Posted November 22, 2014 Nice hear from you John Mobbsie - cheers mate, though I think you're being a bit generous with the praise Well, bit of a milestone, the upper deck is finally completed and glued into position. Next step will be the interior bulwarks, will require some tweaking as a few test planks indicate that the bulwarks (even after shaping) still will be a bit wavy, I'll probably just add some thin scrap strips to the these to build them up, but more on that when its done. The instructions make no mention of some deck former beams that need to go on before the upper deck, the only reference is on the side plan - I nearly missed them. When in position there is clearly a problem because the beams will interfere with the open companions, once again the plans clearly show this issue. Simple to cut out the center section without any real structural implications, the ones remaining will be hidden by gratings. You can also see in the picture that I glued some thin beech off cuts where the two halves will join to provide some surface to mate the deck surfaces smoothly. Deck was glued in multiple stages, first half deck glued to center line, section half deck glued to center and mated, and then glued down to the bulkheads to give correct camber. Final result....completing the decking off the ship seems to have worked out just fine. Size comparison to Snake which is still laid up....Jason will be a big boy!

Beef Wellington Posted November 24, 2014 Author #79 Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) Cheers Eamonn, Jim, BE, Stergios and the 'likes' for the interest and kind words. I tried to superimpose 'Ballyhoo' on 'Jason' but couldn't figure out how to do it. Sjors - don't worry, there will be guns on this deck (eventually). But I believe the deck is more commonly referred to as the upper deck on a frigate (even though it has one above it...and also has guns!), although I do seem to recall seeing reference to a gun deck as well somewhere. Maybe someone else can speak definitively on this. Alistair - it did work out OK. I split the false deck down the center line first (the grain introduces a little error here), and then taped them back together on the back side. The 2 innermost planks were glued in place on each half and then separated so that I knew they would marry up properly during final assembly. An unexpected issue was that the deck did tend to cup a little, probably a combination of humidity changes here as well as the glue under the planks shrinking a little. It was easily manageable, but you can see a slightly larger gap at the extreme ends where there weren't any bulkheads under the deck to force the camber. As for treenails, I don't feel any compulsion to do them, but, I will have plenty of time to change my mind. Have managed to install the interior bulwarks this weekend, small 0.5mm slivers of scrap were used to build up some of the worst offending bulkheads to remove major waviness. These haven't been sanded yet but overall pretty pleased, any remaining small waviness should be pretty easy to sand out. The bow section seems to have come out OK with extending the planking past bulkhead 5. Most miraculously, the bulwarks do seem to follow the line of the margin planks, so a big 'phew' there. Although not entirely symetrical, this will not be seen once the foc'sle is on Also cut slots for the skid beams as it seems to be a lot easier to do now, these aren't mentioned until page 9 of the instructions. Now the interior bulwarks rare in place, the rest of the bulkheads can be faired as the extensions are much too thin and delicate to be able to shape without additional support.

Beef Wellington Posted November 24, 2014 Author #86 Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) Mike - the deck is maple, the bulwarks use the kit supplied 'lime wood'. Its pretty nice to work with, think it is very similar to basswood but is a trifle 'yellower' but that doesn't really show in the photos (at least the stuff I got is). Sjors - the deck already has a single coat of polyurethane for protection, I'm waiting to get the other messy steps out of the way before coming back to put a few more coats on.

Beef Wellington Posted December 1, 2014 Author #87 Posted December 1, 2014 Planking has started, this will be a lengthy process.... I started at the keel to get going, will move up to the upper section and work down in due course. Even though I had shaped the bulkheads, I'm trying to fine tune as I go as it isn't until a few planks start going on that emphasize deviations, and the hull lines becomes much clearer to me as the surface grows. mobbsie, Blue Ensign, jwvolz and 13 others 16 Quote Cheers, Jason "Which it will be ready when it is ready!"
