Knees

[Don Case]

It's a little late because I'm almost finished with knees but. I'm pretty sure of the length of the legs of the knees as I got the dimensions from Steele but I'm wondering about the width. The dimension shown with the red arrows. I'm wondering if I'm making them a little on the bulky side. Maybe they should be more graceful or slender(not sure how to put that). I don't think I've ever seen anything that relates to that dimension. What do you think, do my knees look a little fat?

They are looking a little fat.


Here's a pic of some real knees through a camera with a fisheye lens. You can see the proportions pretty well.

If you study this photo on the Granado cross section, you can make out the knees on this model.

Thanks guys, I'll start changing them now. If any show when it's finished at least they will look right. I actually think the first ones way down on the platforms are close to being right. I guess I slowly got lazy.

Brian was showing the Granado section model, which I am in moment working on - you can take a look at the building log showing in some photos the laying and hanging knees of the HMS Granado

HMS GRANADO (1742) - midship section - POF by CAF in 1:48 - by Uwe

The next working steps were the missing smaller beam(s) and the hanging and laying knees stiffening the structure On the other beams I forgot to make a photo of the fishtail connection of the beams Installation of the shorter beams and the stiffeners of the cell starting with the knees
