HMS ENTERPRISE by Keith 1:48 scale. New Kit from M.D.

[Keef]

ive tappered the bottom of the deadwood to 3mm added the G parts and tapered to 4mm and its too narrow for the Ster
n post

Tearing my hair out
Cut the inner deadwood to 3 mm then added G parts and cut down to 4mm
WHY
if we are not quite correctly trimming the stern post Have i cut too much off (AGAIN)
Stern post is not attached but as you can see with the 3mm (and 4mm) it m/looks to much
But not enough higher up
I made sure the bottom was 3mm

It looks like the taper is slightly wrong on parts G1-8, there needs to be more taken from the top on both sides, so that the top is the same thickness as A-13. The deadwood assembly is centred widthwise onto A-13

Hello Richard, this build as far as I can tell is Keiths from Spain whom I was complementing, however I am glad you are encouraged as well.

Not sure what you mean. Are you planning on planking right down to the keel anyway

A bit late, but maybe the following will help. It is from the original contract for her sister ship Aurora.

The Stern Post to be of good sound Oak timber of the best kind, free from Defects, square at the head 15 ½ ins, fore & aft on the keel the back or false post, if any, included, 2 ft 6ins abaft the rabbet, of the wing transom 9 ins which is to run up to bolt to the quarter deck beam, & on the Keel 2ft 1 in, not to have less than 11 ins Main Post abaft the Rabbit there, the Breadth athwartships at the head to be continued down as low as the deck Transom from thence to beginst tapering to 10 ins, as before observed that the main keel is to be wrought at that place, not to be bearded until the Back is on, & then to be no more than the tapering of the keel requires.


The Inner Post to run up to the underside of the Wing Transom to be 9 ins fore & aft there, & 11 ins on the Keel, to be of the same breadth athwartships, as the Main Post from the Deck Transom up, from thence down as the body requires.

Good evening Keith. Brilliant progress, those cant frames look spot on. Cheers Grant
