Oh dear, sorry about that, out of practice🙃 Hello Glen, You are building your ship at a very fast rate of speed and your frames are improving very much so. Please do slow down just a bit, this model ship building is a hobby and not a job, so please do enjoy. I have been building my Oliver Cromwell for over 3 years now and still have a lot to do as yet, just an example. Regards Lawrence | ||

I did it once for my "Belle Poule 1765" but although I was a draftsman in my working life, I would not do it again. I found that Ancre's (French company) plans were sufficient for me and so stayed with their ships. The inboard shape of frames did not look that great sometimes, but I added strips ,as you are doing. Keep going. You are doing well. Keith. | ||

Regards Lawrence [/quote1623671784] Hello Lawrence, thank you for your interest, I understand what you’re saying about rushing, it’s not my intention, but when I find something that takes my attention, as this has, I just go with the flow. If I were to slow down, it might not make much difference to my quality, as I am learning as I go, and might never achieve your very high standard, but it is definitely not a job, reworking my wife’s vegetable garden is a job though. Still about 83 frames to go, and experimenting with different frame construction techniques. I will reply to the other responses over the next few days, bed time now. | ||

Whilst I am not a novice to computing, I still have some catching up to do with posting to the forum while also getting comfortable with Apple devices. Obviously I have not yet mastered the “quote in reply” function, as I cannot reply outside of the quotation panel. I am hitting the “ thought bubble” on the far right of the header, is this right or not? The cursor will not go outside of the panel. Edit; now it works?! [ Edited Tue Jun 15 2021, 06:21am ] | ||

Hi Brian, when in Tassie, use tasmanian oak…or something like that. Tas oak is a generic name for a few varieties of Australian hardwood (eucalypts) most often it’s “messmate stringy bark” I think. I also have small quantities of Huon pine that I plan to use between wales but that might not look right as gunport alignment does not quite follow the wales fore and aft, may have to use paint, I was trying to avoid it, but the real thing was painted anyway.

Keep going. You are doing well. Keith. Thank you for your support Keith, I think planking will hide a multitude of sins in my case, and might influence how I create my model. At present I am continuing with full frames and will assess the results before adding the planking, to see if I can cut out the filler frames on one side to give the inside view. Getting a fair line might be difficult without them any way, and I think planking only one side (mostly), tends to distort the hull. Way in the future anyway. I have not re-drafted any of the plans at this stage, using Bugler’s 1/4”=1’ plans where possible, enlarging others where necessary is fraught but workable. | ||

They are out at present as the gunport sills help to hold the timbers in line, I’ll just have to check dimensions as I go, as those side tensioners could distort the hull if they are over-tight. They do allow me to remove the assembly to get a different aspect on things. | ||
