On these photos you can see complete hull structure


Then I did some basic design of the decks, mainly because false decks are cut from plywood, so I need to consider the position of all deck elements

Gundeck:

Middledeck:

Upperdeck:

Quarterdeck and forecastle:

Poopdeck:

Royal poopdeck:

 

[OlegM]

I don't plan to entirely reproduce the gundeck and middledeck elements, just the guns, that's why they are so simple

 

[OlegM]

I also did the preliminary design of the stern galleries, for now just the basic geometry. I tried to stick to the drawing as much as possible, but still some deviations were required to create the 3d curves

 

[OlegM]

This level of 3d design is enough to build the hull structure, so we can move to wood parts

 

[OlegM]

First part that I did was the keel frame

 

[Jimsky]

You off to a great start, Oleg!

Milling some first parts - keel parts and "wingtransome"

This is by the way the amount of plywood I used for the hull

Milling your own parts sell definitely take you to a higher and more satisfying result than a laser cut kit package. Your computer skills serve you well. Rich (PT-2)

Milled pear inserts that form vertical cills of the gunports

What's the plywood thickness and how many passes does it take that laser to cut it?

 

[OlegM]

it's 4 mm and I have to do 4-5 passes. Each bulkhead took me about 10-15 min per pass.
I'm replacing the diode now, the lens and the air compressor, so hope for better performance

 

[Gennaro]

Are you using the same machine with different attachments for laser cutting/milling? What brand is it? Does not get more precise than this. Thanks for sharing.

 

[OlegM]

No, I have two separate machines. I gave the link to both in my third post in this thread

Very good idea / solution and performance..... are these parts also cnc-cut?
Do you have a photo how you do this? One by one or in a group ?

Looking forward to seeing that upgrade, thanks for sharing
