Gabriel I have always been enthralled by small scales.  I am going to pull up a chair and drool with amazement if that is okay with you.   Good work.

Hi,

 

Now I start wondering. In previous posts you showed a full hull, now it is only a startboard half. Did you build i as a full hull, and then split in halvee, or did you build two halves, that you clamped together for the pictures in your first post?

Also: in some pics it looks as if the decks are build directly into the hull, but you also show a deck out of the hull.

Can you explain a bit on your methods?

Hi Gabriel

 

I'm a bit late to offer my compliments, but I was wondering the same thing, too.

 

Great job, by the way!

 

Cheers

first the hull was one  piece , then split it in two half , so I could work inside.now it's like a puzzle , all pieces can be assembled or disassembled as y need.

Several years ago one of my fellow club members was helping out on a project for the museum and he took his finished model to the band saw and cut it down for  diorama.  I forget the name of the model though.

Very carefully :(  :huh:  and then a shot afterwards to settle his nerves and trembling hands. :)  :D

Ok. Ok. Ok...I have to ask-how did u cut the hull in half???

the keel and keelson were designed from the start for that.two halves glued together with newsprint paper. When everything was ready, we just separated with fretwork.the frames were easy to cut.

Why do you have three foot tall pencils lying next to your model? Or is it really a normal pencil and is your model really that small?! I am amazed by the detaill you added to such a small model. Looking forward to your new updates
