The Hayling Hoy, 1759 by AnobiumPunctatum - scale 1/36

Not much happened in the last few weeks. I build the cant frames following the same methods I have described for the parallel frames. I create a template for each cant frame.

The fore cant frames (Sometimes it is not really necessary to build a model to create a nice picture):

Not much ….. but some beautiful and nicely ordered stuff, Christian.

Thanks everyone very much for the Likes.

Amazing work, Christian! You have a gift for CAD!
Thanks Paul. You can besser say that I have may years of experience in 2D CAD

Not much ….. but some beautiful and nicely ordered stuff, Christian.

Thanks Peter. I wanted to have all parts at one MDF plate...
 
After a long break it's time to continue with my log. Before I can start gluing all prepared parts together, I have to build the stern. It looks quite simple, because it consists of only two straight parts. But it has to take the shape of the aft. deadwood and the precision of this parts are important for the symmetrie of the stern.

First I milled both parts. The recesses I will need milling the glued parts next weekend.

To cut some two further recesses I prepared a small jig, to hold the inner post.

The next picture shows the test fit from the earlier prepared deadwood with the inner post. It's not really visible, but with the symmetrie of the fit I am really happy.

At the end I glued the two parts together. The small part from scrap helps to fit the parts.

Now the parts have one week toy dry and then comes the last step.

Good to see you back on the yard, Christian. Some nice fitted parts!

Next I cut the notches and some recesses (which helps to sand the parts) in the prepared stern parts.

The only drawback of the mill is that it doesn't produce inside corners with a square edge. So you have to invest some extra work. Therefore I normally use my Proxxon mill. After milling the notches for the rudder hinges were sanded.

In the next step I glued the prepared stern and the deadwood together. Then I sanded the parts. After this I glued the whole ensemble to the keel. Now It was time to sand the rabbet at the end of the keel to get a smooth transition to the deadwood.

To reach this step was a really log journey. The stern and the after deadwood are my biggest challenge and I am very happy that I've overcome them.

Exceptionally fine work Christian.
Thank you very much, Paul.

Christian, I'm enjoying your build and admire your engineering and craftsmanship. I have Modelship Dockyard's Hayling Hoy 1760 1:48 kit and I can already see a few areas that will help me in the future.
It's really fine to read, that my log is helpful for you.

Super praca podziwiam i czekam na dalsze postępy. Pozdrawiam Mirek
Good morning Christian. Fabulous in every way. Cheers Grant
Thank you very much, Mirek and Grant

You made some nice steps with the assembling of the parts and fitting them on the keel, Christian.
Regards, Peter
It was a really long journey for me and I am happy to start with the next steps after Hamburg.

At this level of mastery, even a tiny, basic vessel turns into a magic thing. Bravo!!
Thank you, Albert. Sometimes smaller vessel have bigger challenges than the more important ships of the line. The rated vessels are much more documented. So I am really happy to own the book from David Antscherl, which is a big help.
