HMS GRANADO - full hull - POF kit by CAF in 1:48 - by Uwe

I did it - and I give a s... what Kitty will say (maybe she was only hungry when she made the MIAU)

View attachment 343436

the pencil marks on both sides of the cut mark the location of the lowest wale
I started on both sides from midship and worked towards the bow and backwards towards the stern

View attachment 343437

a view from inside - appr. half the way the cut is done and you can hardly see the sawblade
the cut was done just above the clamps for the mortar bed beams

View attachment 343438

also from inside but the phone camera was located through the mortar opening in the deck structure - here you can see the saw blade better

View attachment 343439

left side was cut up to the stern post

View attachment 343441

View attachment 343440

- now the other side ..... but

I realized, that the area close to the stern, where no deck structure was fixed, is too weak. I had to stop with the cut.
I have to find a solution ......

The deck strcture at the stern is no sultion, because it will slightly lower than the cut - so I decided to install the upper row of the wale from stern towards midship - at this stage it was also good, that I marked before already the location

you can never have enough clamps
in the following photo you can see the open area where no deck structure is fxed

This action made the upper part stiff enough, so I was able to go forward with the cut

and finally - DONE

JuHu - I am very happy now - and btw also Kitty
Yes Yes Yes, Uwe has done it! It looks very nice. It must have been a great relief when you could take them apart.
Congratulation!
Regards, Peter

Dear Uwe
Beautiful work, the cutting was done impressively, well done Thumbsup :)Okay
 
Many Many Thanks for all your positive feedback and all the likes received. - Great that you all felt with me - the step to make the cut was not easy, but I am very happy, that I have made it - it is a new way (for me) of representation of a model - completely new perspectives and views are now possible.

Here some more photos which I made directly after the cut, so no cleaning or whatsoever made - I show you these, so that somebody else who wants to make once such a cut knows, what he / she can expect.

The tools I used - for the first frame I used the smaller one, which was passing between two neighbouring frames - afterwards I used the wider one

IMG_1507.jpg

IMG_1508.jpg

The two parts are still fitting - off course, there is only 0,5mm in height missing

IMG_1479.jpg

IMG_1480.jpg

IMG_1509.jpg

also bolts were cut

IMG_1510.jpg

IMG_1511.jpg

IMG_1474.jpg

IMG_1475.jpg

IMG_1476.jpg

complete new perspective - the undersight of the deck structure with beams, carlings etc.

IMG_1469.jpg

IMG_1470.jpg

one of the next works will be the cleaning of the undersight, in order to remove rests of glue (especially under the carlings and ledges)

IMG_1517.jpg

The stern (lower part of the hull)

IMG_1483.jpg

the stern (upper part)

IMG_1482.jpg

the stern (upper part view from undersight) - btw on the right side you can see that one joint opened, but it will be easy to repair

IMG_1481.jpg

The bow

IMG_1484.jpg

IMG_1486.jpg

with some sanding blocks as distancers - this will be appr. the height of final presentation

Many Thanks for the interest in my building log - great to have so much friends following this log :cool:
