Bulwark Posted March 28, 2017 Share #1 Posted March 28, 2017 Having trouble with the bulwarks of the Bluenose II. I have a template made by taking a rubbing of the top plank through a sheet of cardstock (thin). by pressing againsi the top plank i got an impression and was able to draw a line over it. Yet after i cut it out it still seems a bit wrong. I managed to fit the template onto a bit of basswood that was expendable. Am I right that this piece should be 10mm wide? I think so. My main problem is that i have the curve right but at the prow the bulwark wants to twist out away from the ship. The deck overhangs the top plank a bit and causes this twist. So is this the way it ought to be? Picture is worth a thousand words and all that.

Bulwark Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share #4 Posted April 11, 2017 Addition: the bulwarks should be even, not dropped down. The taffrail adds that level change impression.
