So now just need to take these bars out cut some boxwood and start making the windows, the plans show nine pane lights but at this size I might go with four as druxey did above

Thanks druxey for all your help

Regards

Looking good Paul.  Its very hard to tell from photos, having experienced this issue myself, I concluded that to look 'right' the angle of the foremost pillar should be the same as the stern fascia when viewed from the side.  The others then need to be parallel to these when viewed from the side.  Of course that means that the sides of the lights themselves are completely different shapes.  I'm sure others can comment more definitively on my purely visual impression.

You can't imagine how good this makes me feel getting these somewhere like that should be, at one point I was thinking off leaving the model completely as they were driving me nuts trying to figure out the angles

After seeing the pictures above I decided i didn't like the finish on the hull sides/wale and also after reading the comet fireship book that druxey recommended, I have sanded down the whole side, removed the paint from the black strake, resanded and polished the wale to a sheen to achieve a cleaner result

Also done the counter and square tuck on the cheerful

And the last two weeks in cape verde, sun sea and sand, lovely!

Pictures to follow

Paul,

Nicely done.  Just started following so I have a bit of catching up to do, but I'm enjoying the archeological mix with the build immensely.

Not much done lately due to the beautiful weather we are having, I did rip out the first window in the gallery as I wasn't happy with it, the centre mullion wasn't in the centre so I remade it

20180731_170518.thumb.jpg.109a3cbba89744ed654b35a2c4c1edb6.jpg

It looked really much better to my eyes but now in the photo I'm not sure although the mullion is in the middle which is an improvement, I've done some work on the cheerful as well planking completed, mouldings on and one bulwark finished and painted , I will add some pictures when my phone decides to upload to OneDrive

Thanks

A bit more done on the cheerful, both bulwarks finished and painted, stern post added and the caprail with a nice piece of mahogany

I also added bolts through the caprail using black monofilament
