HMS Enterprise - 1:96 - 96进取套材的制作

You're doing great! It looks like it was 1:48. A pity, if I may, just the trenails and platform's caulkin, a bit out of scale. Some even say that platform planking got no caulking at all. Congrats anyway, your job is so inspiring.

您好，感谢对这个1：96进取套材的关注，关于您提到的问题，我的理解是怎样在横梁上开槽安装小纵梁吧，我是固定横梁后再开槽的，这样会比较准确定位，在横梁上切出45度斜槽，再斜切出45度面，这样比垂直开全槽要简单容易，说明一下我这个槽开的太大了，跟实际比例不对，感觉像是要把横梁切断一样，会在炮甲板横梁上做改正


Hello, thank you for your attention to this 1:96 progressive kit. Regarding the question you mentioned, my understanding is how to slot the beam to install the small longitudinal beam. I slotted it after fixing the beam, so that the positioning will be more accurate. Cut a 45-degree inclined groove on the beam, and then cut a 45-degree surface obliquely. This is simpler and easier than making a full vertical groove. Let me explain that my groove is too large and is not in the right proportion. It feels like the beam is being cut off. I will make corrections on the gun deck beam.

Thanks a lot for the clarification. ;-)
 
Very good work - especially these details on th eguard rail for the tiller -> just BRAVO!

It can be hardly seen, that this model is in the small scale of 1:96 - very good work
 
The model is wonderful. I especially like the accuracy if the steering system. Is there a reason the carlings on the gundeck land on the stern timbers? I have never seen this in any contemporary based drawings as they always sit in a mortice in a beam or transom as in the drawings below.

Hi Wu Thank you for your post. I understand the reasoning, but I have not been able to find any information on this kind of construction in contemporary based sources.
Thanks!

Especially in a 1/96 ratio, this part will not be able to be made unless CNC is used, but that would increase additional costs。
When designing the kit, we cannot simply consider the degree of structural restoration, but also need to control costs to bring the kit's price within a range that everyone can accept

Hi Wu If you look at the contemporary drawings it looks like the kit drawings may be different. I cannot reconcile the location of the gun ports in the counter with the drawing you show. This entire thing is really interesting and a little confusing for me so I kindly ask if you could please sketch in where the guns would go on the drawings below.
Thanks!
Allan

Allan you need to understand that this kit is 1/96 scale and extremly detailed as it is already ,it is not a real ship ,it is a model there need to be some compromise,cannot be added all the detsiles as it was on a real ship ,there are no kits on the market nor nreed to be that exactly as like a real ship.

Thanks Zoly! The details you mention I truly understand, and it might just be how I am seeing it, but it looks like the elevation of the decks or the aft gun ports are off.
The below is what I see on the plans, but they do not seem to match the 3D drawings (which are VERY nice) Again, maybe I am not seeing this correctly.
Thanks again

Hi Wuxiaomeng
What is the red rectangle area that you show? It cannot be for the gun ports as the guns would have to be in the bread bins on the lower deck and the barrels would have to be five or six feet above the deck. Picture below shows the stern guns if they were on the upper deck or lower deck. I would go with contemporary information first as John Williams signed the drawings. Then again no one is infallible so maybe the original draftsman and/or designer of the ship made a mistake. The only evidence I can find so far that she had stern ports is from the 1777 Marshall painting which does not match the design drawings. Assuming she had stern ports these were typically not with guns. The aft most guns on that deck would be maneuvered to these ports. She carried twenty-four 9 pounder guns on the gun deck as can be seen in the notes on the drawing below and the number of gun ports on the side of the ship match that with 12 per side.

In fact, these two doors will not really be used for firing guns
This is a window for receiving letters or other small supplies during sea navigation

Thank you very much for clarifying it is not for guns as mentioned in your earlier post. I have never read anything about mail and supplies being delivered at sea or being loaded in stern ports but it is an interesting idea. With the fenders and access ladder on the sides of the hull as well as rigging for lifting pallets of goods, why would they not use these? At the stern the rudder is in the way, there are no fenders, and there is no way to secure the boat to the ship. I may be completely wrong about this Wuxiaomeng but respectfully disagree with the idea that there were ports in the counter for mail and supply boat deliveries at sea. If you would be so kind can you please share where you found this information as I would love to read more about this if this was actually done.

There is also the likelihood that there were no ports at the stern at all. If you look at the following contemporary plan of the Syren 1773 drawing which is part of the Enterprize class there were no stern ports.

Thank you very much.
