Courageous Posted January 10, 2022 Author Share Posted January 10, 2022 Hello everybody. With the paint drying on the Everard, thought I'd turn my attention back to this build. The first thing that I wanted to sort out was the waterline and according to an earlier post, the draught is 13-29 feet. A light load draught of 13' puts the water line just above the propeller, sits to high for my liking. A heavy load draught of 29' puts the water line up near the top of the rudder, sits to low for my liking, so have opted for an in between. Having no waterline drawing for this build except that posted earlier in the thread, I had to devise a baseplate to build up from. Using the 'second deck' plan above, I decided to divide it into three sections; aft, midships and forward. The fore and aft sections were modified using guesswork more than anything to something that can be used. The beam of the midships remains the same well below the waterline and is basically a box. Here, I've started the mid section with the spine and frames being added, together with tabs on the bottom to aid securing of fore and aft sections later. A quick shot of the sections pushed together. Stuart 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-boat 55 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I'm late to the party on this one but it looks fascinating so shall follow along, I have a lot of envy for the scratch builder, one day I might try it but not yet, not yet, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve D Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Nice project Stuart, though you know I would say wood should be the material of choice Good luck with it, I'll follow along Cheers Steve 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courageous Posted January 13, 2022 Author Share Posted January 13, 2022 @S-boat 55 @Steve D @robgizlu Thanks for stopping buy guys, hope I don't disappoint. Frames added to mid and forward sections. I added extra frames fwd to help with curve and found that sloping sides looked wrong on the curve, so corrections were made and look much better. Looking back at the mid section, I may add the extra frames there too, we'll see. Temporarily fitted the mid & fwd sections together, everything lines up nicely. Fwd shear looking good too. Next, the aft section, and that doesn't look fun. Stuart 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aft section done and again, some corrections were made, no doubt there'll be more before the job is done. Side view. Sections pushed together.

Terry1954 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Very impressive scratch building work there Stuart. You've probably told us before, but what guage plastic card are you using on the hull structure? Terry 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modelholic Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 If it comes to it you could always try computer printer paper and soak it in superglue. Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andreas.R Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Very interesting scratch build. As I am planning to build some models with the same hull shape. I think it is easier to scratch build these hulls as you do, as 3D print them. Will follow your build. Regards Andreas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope I can hold your interest. I will be using a number of 3D parts that Pascal @Iceman 29 kindly sorted for me. At the moment I cannot crack on with laying the deck as I'm waiting for supplies. The knock on from this is that I can't fit the hull sides either. So, with the Everard now complete, I'll start with a few parts that can be do anytime. The ship was fitted with a number of cargo loaders, four of them operated on Samson posts and here we have the posts, caps and derricks. I used 2mm brass tubing for the posts and 0.6/0.8/1.0mm brass tubing for the derricks. Derricks primed together with the 6 cargo hatches.

Andreas.R Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Hello Stuart, These parts will become very stable! Unfortunately I can't work with metal. I still have to get my Phrozen 3D printer to finally print correctly. For the hull, I thought about building it out of cardboard, and then soaking it with resin, and then exposing it to sunlight. Might work. Regards Andreas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courageous Posted January 25, 2022 Author Share Posted January 25, 2022 4 hours ago, Andreas.R said: Unfortunately I can't work with metal. The metalwork I do is very basic. Those derricks were only lengths of tubing slid inside each other, superglued, then superglued into a small hole I made in the post. As for cardboard and resin, best of luck with that. I have heard of modelers soaking paper with superglue. Stuart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andreas, Trust me, everyone can work with metal, way easier than plastic and the finish is so much better and stronger. Allow me to encourage you to try. I have a drawer of my cast off work and failed attempts, may be useful one day should I decide to model a scrap-yard Cheers Steve 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should keep Steve happy for a short while with wood and metal playing a part, hardly his league though. Stuart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
