That’s a nice looking project Mike.

Thanks Bryian.

Mike, I love your mounting table with the parallel channels! Did you buy it or make it yourself? Very nice! Magic Mike

Hi Mike, I designed and made the jig myself. If you are interested go to

It is easy to build and fun to use.

Wow Mike, thanks for the info on jig! Very nice, Magic Mike

 

[Mike41]

Hi Mike, no problem, there are some scales you can print out in a separate thread and if you have any questions just post them.

Frames:

This is a few more photos of the frames being added to the keel.

The crossbar on the jig has a center scale graduated from the centerline to the port and starboard sides of the model that is useful for keeping the frames centered. It is also used as a clamp when adding frames.

Frames:

The full frames have been added to the keel. The stern half frames will be next.

Progress photos.

Frames:

The half frames were installed with no problems, but when I got to the last three frames I ran out of T-track. I could have replaced them with longer track, but did not want to take the jig apart, so it was clamps and rubber bands that finished the job.

Progress photos.

Mike, way to recover the build! Nicely done, Magic Mike

 

[Mike41]

Thanks Mike. It was not a big problem.

Keelson:
This is a few more framing photos and the installation of the keelson.

Gunports:

I used some card stock and copies of the internal profile for templates and installed linings for the gunports.

 

[Mike41]

Stern:

The stern was added next. It is a typical assembly for the time period.

Pump Well & Shot Locker:
A small pump well and Shot locker are installed as shown.

This will be my build log for the Izmael.

I wanted to add a small schooner to my collection, and I like the look of the Ismael. The original drawings are in Russian, but I just use the drawings anyway.

History:

The Izmael was built by M.I. Ryabinin at the Black Sea Shipyard located along the Danube River.

The Izmael was used mainly for costal defense, patrolling, and protecting the coastal region. It was also used to help map coastlines, rivers, and uncharted areas. The Izmael likely transported passengers, mail, and supplies between ports and settlements.

I scaled the drawings to 3/16” = 1’-0” and traced the keel and body plan and used them to develop the frames and keel drawings.

The framing will be made from a branch of a pear that was blown down by a storm about a year ago. I had cut it into billets and stored the wood in a dry place. Free wood does keep the cost of models down.

As usual I was in a hurry to get started so I started building the keel and plan to make the drawings as needed…
