Dear friends,
this will be the story of the reconstruction of a set of plans to 1/64 and 1/36 or 1/32 to steer towards a cardboard scratchbuild.
In 1894 the Russian Navy bought a torpedo boat from the French Normand ship building yard called
Сестрорецк ["Sestroretsk"] after a noble part of the city of St.Petersburg - later in April 1895 she was renamed N°104 simplyfied.
Due to the very effective Norman type water tube boiler only a single funnel was needed as an exhaust in her silhouette.
Here the basic data in short and a b/w-picture:
Due to this the 1/36 model will be a meter (some three yards) long; so I do think about a 1/32 as a double scale model (will go in display at a friend of mine in exchange for a three pocket Tweed waistcoat) for simplicity.
Here my 1/42 test copy towards the 1/64 sized plan set (1/42 resulted from just "fast&dirty" taken a 141% onto 1/64 enlargement in the xerox) here shown side by side:
The lines plan and the drawing were in two seperated scales on the same sheet! The frames lines are three times the lines plan. And so I had to recopy the hole drawings 102% to check the equality of the scale gauge:
Here my very first testfit in the copyshop, on DIN A3 sheets simply pushed together (after cutting the outer frame) for a short Idea of a 1/64 model's size:
And I figured out there were some cutting drawings and I have to redraw the others:
And my goal is to combine the drawings and WLdrawings into each other:
Here my humble way to do it in orange coloured (memo: do not use colour in your copy prototypes!) lines:
And I did use DIN A4 frostpaper to copy the lines but I am not too happy about my first results:
So I bought a LEDsheet online to come to better/clearer results by copying with getting the light right through the drawing from below:
So when the ship yard's update is received than there will be the next step foreward.
As my very first results aren't so great in reasonable detailing als my eyesight is too bad and my pencils of too much breadth:
I did nearly only the vertical lines at first in here.
Hope you do like it - I may start my YouTube channel with this drawing reconstruction. So from my start in the LEDboard through the troubels of card model building the viewers can follow up to the ending of this story in the show case - hopefully.
P.S.:
Here my invers print of white lines on black for pressing more details out of the drawing:
