AFT MAGAZINE SECTION MODEL – 1:32 SCALE

Here's something I've been working on the last couple of months. I wanted to get things to a stage where I can keep a build log far enough ahead of the model construction before I started posting anything.

OVERVIEW

A proposed Aft Magazine Section Model – 1:32 scale. No specific ship, rather a concept showing the various components that make up the magazine, and how it's fitted into the vessel.

She's built using a different approach. Rather than make the hull framing first and build the magazine in place, it will be added last and act as the display “cradle” for the finished model. I'm still finalizing this. There is still a fair amount of detail work to add into it as well. Probably a couple of more months work until the model is completed.

I'm using several references to aid in keeping the model historically accurate. Most notably the following:

The Main Magazine by Gene Bodnar – The MSB Journal, June 2012

The Fully Framed Model, HMN SWAN CLASS SLOOPS 1767-1780 Volume I by David Antscherl

Anatomy of the Ship The Frigate Diana by David White

The Arming and Fitting of English Ships of War 1600-1815 by Brian Lavery

Here's a few pictures of the model at the current stage of construction. The build log will start at the beginning and catch up to this point, then on to completion.

H i Jeff, This one looks amazing, having done the Batteau and Battle Station I have been waiting for more of your great work. What I like about your builds are how clear the plans and instructions are. You do not have to be an expert to create good models. Thanks agai Don

Beautiful concept build, Jeff. Your joinery work is first rate. And the added details like the coat rack and the hinges on the door are some of the best I've seen. Keep up the good work.
