Hi to all!
Started a new model - HMS Enterprize, scale 1:48.

 

[Bryian]

This is a great ship to build. What kit is that ?

Scratch ,use of paper shipyard plans I guess.

 

[piter56]

Hi.

Yes, the model is based on plans Shipyard

 

[Maarten]

Hi piter, do you have a laser cnc, looks like the frames are laser cut?

 

[piter56]

Hi Maarten. There is no machine, but I prepared the files and ordered the company.

 

[zoly99sask]

It will be an interesting build.

 

[Uwek]

It will be an interesting build.

I agree with you completely - I will follow with big interest

 

[piter56]

Go ahead, the next parts are waiting for cutting.

 

[epicdoom]

Watching this one. are you drawing the frames up from the Plate 1 drawing or scanning in from the parts on the sheets then importing to the program to modify?

 

[Bonden]

Oh, the same class as my Mercury (also by "Shipyard"), that's interesting. I sit down in the first row of spectators. I wish you success!

 

[Kortes]

My congratulations on the start of the new project. Good luck and inspiration in the work.
My best regards, Alexander.

@piter56

the scarphs at the keel have an other direction by English ships. This form I only know from French shipy.

Here Christian is correct! Most of the british ships had the scarph vertical in the keel - different to the keelson.
I made fastly two photos of the Anatomy of ships about the HMS Diana which are showing the scarphs

So visible at the final model are only one vertical joint per scarph

 

[piter56]

Thank you very much. This is a good point.

I have a drawing in electronic form, i import it into the program and modify it.

Filling

 

[piter56]

Hi!
The filling is completed, the turn grinding

 

[Uwek]

You made a lot of work with the filling pieces - will you use this (after sanding) as basis for the final planking?
Looking very good

 

[piter56]

Yes, it will be as a basis. The filler is lime bars. Sheathing will be made of pear bars.
