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

Witaj
Trochę wiercenia przed tobą i wbijania kołków ale efekt na pewno będzie wart tego wysiłku. Czekam z niecierpliwością na efekt końcowy. Pozdrawiam Mirek

Hello
There's a bit of drilling and driving in some dowels, but the effect will definitely be worth the effort. I'm looking forward to the end result. Regards, Mirek
 
The final planking works are done and the hull is closed - on one side, the other side will stay open to see the framing

the last planking strip towards the bow is prepared for inserting

View attachment 421763

these planks, which can not be fixed with any clamps (which I have) are fixed with partly CA-glue and also wood glue

View attachment 421764

the plank is fitting well

View attachment 421765

the last plank - now "only" to sand the form of the plank to fit

View attachment 421766

and done

View attachment 421767

some final views along the hull - no sanding was done until now - this will be done together the treenails are installed

View attachment 421768

View attachment 421769

View attachment 421770

View attachment 421771

and the total side view

View attachment 421772

View attachment 421773

At the end I am more or less happy with the result

Next will be the treenailing of the hull - 55 frames with 24 rows of planking and 2 nails per frame / plank connection => slightly more than 2.600 treenails

ONLY 2.600 treenails !!!

Could be worse - if it would be the L´Amarante it would be 5.200 nails only for the half hull

I need some more packages of toothpicks - many thanks for your interest .... to be continued ......
Very well done. That is a great example of how to plank a ship's hull. l would be very happy if l could do that

Congratulations with this Milestone, Uwe. You made a very very nice job!

Il était maintenant temps de traiter le bois pour pouvoir aller plus loin dans les travaux.
Comme l'a appris Karl alias @Jeronimo J'utilise CLOU Schnellschleifgrund

En attendant je suis une grande fan de ce genre de traitement......

Merci beaucoup pour votre intérêt .... à suivre ....
Bonjour, je désire teinter 'La Belle' comme votre 'Granado'.
Sur le net, on trouve plusieurs types de CLOU. Est-ce que c'est ce produit que vous avez utilisé pour teinter votre 'Granado' ? si non pouvez vous me communiquer une photo du bidon du produit que vous avez utilisé.
Merci d'avance.

Hello, I would like to tint 'La Belle' like your 'Granado'.
On the internet, there are several types of NAILS. Is this the product you used to tint your 'Granado'? If not, can you send me a photo of the container of the product you used.
Thanks in advance.

Terrific planking job, very nicely done!
I probably missed it somewhere, but is there a rationale for your plank overlaps; I noted from two- to eleven frames overlaps. Is that based on the presumed availability of the necessary length of planks during the original build?
 
Many Thanks to @Dubz Modelling World , @GrantTyler , @Mirek , @dockattner , @Keef , @Peter Voogt , @Cathber ,@RDN1954 for your kind words and comments and all others pushing the Like-button
It is a honor that you are interested in my build and highly motivating

Looking great! :) I agree with @AnobiumPunctatum btw, double frame == double Treenails .. but I understand your point of visual representation.
Dirk
Hallo Dirk,
do you mean douple treenails per half double frame - so per double frame two times two treenails?
I will make only one pair of treenails per bend - but would be very interested in any resource where something else is written - the resources Christian mentioned are showing not really anything else - the only different way was shown in Gerards Rochefort monograph ......
Maybe @Tobias knows more about the Rochefort nailing pattern

Yes - correct - it is CLOU Schnellschleifgrundierung -> In short time I hope to show the treated finished hull

If I understand your question correctly you ask about the pattern where the location of the butt joints have to be - and the overlapping / offest of the joints from one row of planks to the next?!?
I am not aware about any rule or regulation defining this, so it is my personal technical consideration - I try to have minimum 2 frames between
From technical view an overlapping is helping for the stability and stiffness of a hull - with this also helping for a better watertightness of such a planking
And the real shipwrights had to work with available trees and boards -> so I guess it was often a day-to-day consideration and compromise......

But maybe somebody else knows a more clear explanation or could clarify this subject?

There is a lot written about the "overlapping" of plank splices, so I read somewhere that Dutch shipwrights didn't pay too much attention to logic and symmetry; they used whatever was available. This more likely than not ended up in a very random pattern of plank splices.
Maybe later on more attention was paid to the overlaps, but I am not knowledgeable enough to say anything sensible about that.

Hello Uwe,
the nailing pattern of the French ships is actually the same on all ships. Under the whale you have four nails per plank and per double frame, two iron nails and two wooden nails alternating. Above the whales there are only iron nails but also four per plank and double frame.
I don't have double frames for Naiad, HMS Euraylus and the Ehrenpreis, so unfortunately I can't help you here.
 
In in the following some photos in order to get an impression how my HMS Granado will presented in the end (without the sanding blocks off course ;) )

Now the treenailing can start ......

Many Thanks for the interest in my building log
 
Félicitations. Cele donne vraiment envie de se lancer sur ce modèle.
