Starting a scratch-build using The Anatomy of the Ship
Year: 2009 Language: english Author: Rich Brayshaw Genre: Guide Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 8 Description: So you’ve made a few plank on bulkhead kits and you want to stretch yourself, or find there isn’t a kit of the ship you want to build. An excellent starting point is The Anatomy of the Ship series of books. The plans are there and all the research has been done for you, right down to the spokes on the wheel and the hinges on the stove. But how do you start? With a little bit of thought it isn’t difficult to translate those plans into what amount to kit components, and you can build kits, so what’s the problem? What about the expense of the wood if you mess it up? Try following the tutorial and make a false keel and bulkheads for your preferred vessel from a sheet of 5mm plywood. That’s hardly going to break the bank, and if you like what you’ve made then you can continue to build. The method I’m outlining is a ‘quick and easy’ way to get started. Depending on the plans you’re using some bulkheads may need to be constructed from the plans, but nearly all are already drawn for you in the body plan. There will certainly be areas where you think there is an easier or more obvious way to do things. Treat this tutorial as a ‘how it could be done’, rather than a ‘how it should be done’. The tutorial uses Photoshop 7. The process can be followed equally well using scaled photocopies and a lot of cutting and pasting but, since you have access to a computer, the job can be made a whole lot easier and more versatile, as long as you’re familiar with basic Photoshop type software.
