Thank you Druxey, Antony, John for your worm words.

Hi, Nick. I use general woodworking tools such as fret saw, razor saw, low angle block plane and shoulder plane. Special miniature planes, as posted at #90, are useful. I made miniature chisels with small flat screw drivers. Stationary cutting knife was also very useful for me. Hummm nothing special

Hi, Kurt. Thank you for your compliment and interest. This Alert is my third model ship building. The first one was "Azorean whale boat" and second one was "Marie Adelaide" the herring fishing boat at the northern Europe sea. Both of them were full framed scratch built and I think they are unique examples because I can't find any similar one from googling. Unfortunately, I have no chance of kit building and rigging yet. Alert is my first trial of battle ship and I hope I get a chance of rigging practice. Following photos are finished "Marie Adelaide" of unplanked version. I built her based on the basic plans from the book "Souvenirs de Marine (Amiral Paris)"

 

Cheers, Lee

Lee I admire your patience and tenacity.  To do the things you do with just hand tools is inspiring to those who do not have the room or the funds to equip themselves.

Thank you David. Yes, I like to work with hand tools but, I don't have tenacity of hand tool. I just want not to make any inconveniences to my neighbors with the noise from power tools. I live in an apartment... Of course, when I treat timbers, I use power tools and machines at the public workshop in my hometown.

 

Cheers, Lee

Lee, I continue to marvel at your hull planking! Do you have any pictures of a individual plank being made. Do you use any kind of jig to aide with controlling the change of depth approaching the bow. I've been reading everything I can find on full size lapstrake construction, but at model scale it is intimidating. I have a Veritas miniature block plane and it is a really beautiful tool. Next payday, I'll spring for the shoulder plane.

Hi, Kurt. I didn't use any jig but eye measurement. Just try and you will find the way.

 

Thank you, Nils for the interest about fishing ship. I add some more close up pics. The large capstan seems to be used to haul heavy fishing net. Actually, there was no information about the deck beam structures, so, I did them with imagination.

Upper deck progress

 

Up to now, 6th deck beam has fitted. Making small fittings takes much time. Windlass, fore companion way grating were placed. Small metal stove has been tried with Cu foil but the result was too shiny and unbalanced with surrounding wood color, so I'll remake it with blackened Cu foil.

 

Cheers, Lee

Metal stove, sailor room and 7th deck beam

 

With pre-blackened thin copper sheet, metal stove was remade. In this work, wood mold was used and the metal parts was joined with CA glue. The blackened result looks better than previous one. The sailor room was built between main mast and hatch. Metal hinges for the door and window were simulated with copper strip just for decoration.

 

Cheers, Lee

Many thanks Nils as always.

Hi Robin. Thank you for your interest on my build. For your question, I'm sorry but I could not catch your point due to my poor English. Anyway, I have very little knowledge about historical stove but I just follow the design of it as shown in Goodwin's book of ATOS. Cheers.
