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

[Uwek]

and also many many thanks to all of you for your kind comments and the likes received.
But also the number of views of members looking into my log.
Many thanks - it is very motivating

Now I can start with the platforms for and aft of the mortar bases.
Especially the location of the aft platform is realeted to the mortar, because it is starting from there directly, only separated by a bulkhead wall

The vertical parts of the windlass are still only dry-fitted





under the platform a small pillar is located








Many Thanks for your interest in my building log .... to be continued .....

I like the eased edging of the planks and the precise fitting to the hook. First class modeling!

There were two of this sheet in the kit - but be aware, that this sheet has two "names" 5A and 4B

Kit review - HMS GRANADO (1742) - POF in scale 1:48 by CAF model

Kit Review: PART 1 HMS GRANADO (1742) complete full hull model Plank On Frame in scale 1:48 by CAF model Beginning with this year we were already able to see the highly interesting kit of the Granado section model...

If it is missing you have to contact Tom from CAF to get a second one.

I think Tom has changed the layout of the sheets since you got your's Uwe. He now supplies two sheets with the number 5A and a bigger, single separate sheet for 4B. My kit has the same problem as profmomo's of only one 5A sheet in the box. l got on to Tom and he is sending me a second sheet immediately. Amazing service from from this great company

Those square nails are looking so good.

 

[profmomo]

Many thanks. I have also one 4B, but it is not the same than 5A. I thinks 4B is mistake. My 4B is like inside book N°2 page 24.
I think Man who preper box forget one 5A inside many boxes.

Wow Uwe, very precise work on the planks and the breast hook. I had to look twice and also checked the plans, everything is correct. To explain briefly what I mean, the planks on the two Frenchmen I'm building are resting on the hooks. Here you can see one of the differences, very interesting.

Hallo Uwe, very clean work, absolutely convincing. Your square nails look very good.

Pięknie położona podłoga, spasowałeś wszystko pięknie i chyba leciutko fazowałeś deskę podłogową bardzo mi się podoba .Pozdrawiam Mirek

Hello
Beautifully laid floor, you fitted everything together beautifully and I think you beveled the floorboard very lightly, I really like it. Regards, Mirek

Bonjour @Uwek, quelle technique allez vous employeur pour imiter le cloutage des planches du pont.
Je vois que des traces de pointes sont déjà faites. S'agit-il d'un simple pointage ?
Merci d'avance.

Hello @Uwek, what technique will you use to imitate the nailing of the bridge planks.
I see that traces of points are already made. Is it a simple score?
Thanks in advance.

Even the macro pics show almost perfect; chapeau!

you mean this part, or?
yes I tried to show the situation more or less like shown in Goodwins book - I am by myself happy with the result

Yes correct only a small pressed hole by a scriber
the lower decks I am making no treenails, I guess they were only nailed down towards the beams - only on the main deck which can be washed over by seawater is treenailed

Hello Uwe, you can be more than satisfied, it's great. And yes, I meant this chest hook.

After the installation of the fore platform planking the small bulkheads and internal walls have to be prepared

First of all we take a look at the Goodwin sketches showing the interior

the top view


and also the isometric view


The kit is providing several templates with which the real insitu-situation on your model can be chacked and the final walls can be prepared





using the template to check the fit with the beams and carlings on the upper part - not really important for my model but good to know, that it would fit very well



This wall I made (full of enthusiasm) one year ago - it is not fitting to the template -> sometimes it would be good to think before you do something
=> this wall has to be done once more - lessons learned



but before some more impressions and details



the ladder down to the coal hole was done - in my section model of the Granado I installed here a monkey ladder





the view from the side - maybe I cut out some openings at the end to prepare a better side-view





many Thanks for your interest .... to be continued ......

Puzzling on the square cm’s with a nice outcome, Uwe.

Very nice work, Uwe. As for the partition wall, it seems to me that the boards are a bit too wide. I remember the prefabricated boards from Le Coureur and they fitted very well. I'm curious Uwe, what's the problem?
