Matrim Posted February 26, 2013 #1 Posted February 26, 2013 "Okay, here is a rough set of dimensions to use for various parts of the model in the three scales. 1/48 scale Frames, no 61 bit (.039", 1mm), hull planking, no 76 bit (.020" .5mm), deck beams, knees, bitts, etc, no 68 bit (.031" .8mm), and for securing the frames and the keelson, a no 52 bit (.0625" 1.5mm) will do fine.1/64 scale Frames, no 69 bit (.029" .75mm), hull planking, no 79 bit (.015" .4mm), deck beams, knees, bitts, etc, no 73 bit (.024" .6mm), and for securing the frames and keelson use the same 1/16" diameter bit as used in 1/48 scale. It will work fine. 1/96 scale Frames, no 76 bit (.020" .5mm), hull planking, no 80 bit (.0135" .4mm) deck beams, knees, bitts etc, no 76 bit (.020" .5mm) and for securing the frames and keelson, no 61 bit (.039" 1mm) Please, please, please keep in mind these are very rough and very general dimensions. This is a guide, not a set of hard and fast rules. So long as you are close, there should be no big problems. If you do not want to treenail your planking in 1/96 scale, that's fine, but if you do, you might want to use something a bit larger than no 80. Its the builder's choice."

Chuck Posted April 9, 2013 #2 Posted April 9, 2013 I thought I would post these two images of a cross section model from the science museum. I thought it might help or at least act as inspiration for those building teh cross section Triton. What I find very pleasing is the change in the plank thickness. Especially the outboard planking. I have no idea which ship this is as I didnt write that down when I saved it. It is one of hundreds of pictures I saved and now I am trying to organize. Based on what I see it may be a later vessel...but still worthy of inspiration.

RedDawg Posted May 17, 2016 #3 Posted May 17, 2016 HI IM RedDawg,i am wondering if this list of wood dimensions in inch measurements is for the 1:48 scale cross section?
mtaylor Posted May 17, 2016 #4 Posted May 17, 2016 RedDawg, Are you talking about the one here: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/643-triton-cross-section-timber-list/ The ones in the PDF are in millimeters.

RedDawg Posted May 17, 2016 #5 Posted May 17, 2016 On the Triton cross section timber list there is a section in inches a little further down. But my main curiosity is whether either one of the lists are for the 1:48scale? I was going to attempt to do the full size build but I decided that as it will be my first scratch build,and that I wanted to do it as a side build with my Sovereign the cross section would be a better starter project.

mtaylor Posted May 18, 2016 #6 Posted May 18, 2016 Yes, it's for the 1:48 Cross-Section, RedDawg.
