The New York's carronade gun tackle is done. The pin rails are starting to go in. Yes, I know the bow pin rails are crooked. There are not glued in yet so I can fix that!

Head is done on the New York.

What is the proper format and MIME for posting videos?

I was so busy making ship's boat making videos for my U tube channel I forgot about these.

The New York's barge/whale boat is pretty much done.. Needs some final touches to clean up fuzz and paint job. I was busy the past week making an in depth video series on making a ship's boat. It is in 9 parts! About half are 10 minutes or so long, but several run 15 to 25 minutes. I have them on U tube. My channel is @gregbaumgartner8257 I have not tried or looked into posting video here. Is it allowed and if so how do you select videos to up load?

Work on New York's bow is coming along. I was not happy with the angle of the bowsprit so I re positioned it.

Here are some photos of various stages in the ship's wheel build.

Hooray! Done with the coppering on the New York!
-
I have just finished putting copper "plates" on one side of the hull on my latest ship model, the New York. 60 hours over 14 days to do this about 1500 individual pieces. Now, on to the other side! Groan!
-
I worked at several different areas on the New York over the past week or so. Here are some photos of it. The pulley's on the cat head are the only ones I actually make. 32 pounder bow chasers.

New York's spar deck is planked and weathered.
-
Both lower gun decks are in as are their gun carriages. Bow sprit base is made as is the bowsprit itself. Main gun deck is planked only where it might be seen through the main hatch and ladder openings in the spar deck. The procedure for weathering the planks is shown. After the and gray are well dried sand lightly with 220 grit and 400 grit varying the pressure to bring out the tan.

Ships wheel is done.

New York has it's first light coat of primer. I use gray so I can draw the cannon ports on with pencil and see them easily to cut out. The garage is around 90 degrees so the paint will dry fast. The bowsprit and rudder holes are in. I will copper the bottom once the gun ports are all cut out and framed. The gray primer actually reacts with the adhesive on the copper tape so it sticks really well! A few were somewhat leery at my hull planking methods. I hope this result quells some of their doubts.

The plans are from the Smithsonian Institute. I do not really need a planking tutorial. My goal is to cover the bulkheads, period. The bottom third is coppered, between cannon ports, chain wales, and all the other items on the hull, once it is painted a few coats of flat black almost none of the planking can be seen anyway. Here are a few photos I selected randomly of some of my other "hulls" for you see what this ship will look something like.
