One mini project I have been working on in conjunction with everything else,is what will be the floor of the balcony.I mentioned earlier that this was a grated deck,but I wanted something a little more visually appealing.
I have prebent a piece of 1.5mm Ebony on a jig and this was secured at the ends with some scrap boxwood and cyano.I have then tiled the upper surface with 4mm square boxwood and ebony.I haven't photographed the manufacturing techniques for this as it is covered in many other logs.A propose to apply a few light coats of Poly prior to removal and shaping.
Kind Regards

A little bit of a update More progress on treenailing.I then took a little break to concentrate on a job that needs doing before I can complete the framing of the stern.The lower set of windows need completing as access will be greatly restricted when the upper stern section is in place as this overhangs these windows.
After the outer framework was installed,mica was used to glaze these from behind.The framing is in 0.8mm square boxwood.The mullions have been added in one piece.The transoms are being fitted in sections.Everything is being glued in place with PVA.The plan is to fill the panes with matt polyurethane as before.This should also fix everything in place and allow me to lightly sand the face of the framework flush with the aid of a custom made sanding stick.
Now having a break as my eyes and head is spinning cutting 2mm long pices of strip and gluing them in position
Kind Regards

NMBROOK reacted to Jeff-E in HMS Victory by Jeff-E - FINISHED - Panart - 1:78 Scale - Bow Section
Hi All,
The next stage in making the bowsprit was to make the sheave blocks for the fore topmast stay and the preventer stay. Although these lines wont be fitted to the model as the topmast will only be about 100mm long, I still wanted to have their sheaves fitted
The blocks were made from 6mm x 1mm plank and the sheaves were spares I had left over from another kit They can be seen in the first two photos.
To take the sheave blocks the bowsprit had to be squared at the end but only on three sides, the top and each side, the bottom is left convex. this was done for a distance of 28mm from the end as this represents, approximately, the 6' 9"length of the bees.
The second lot of photos show the blocks fitted, you will note they are staggered. The front one is for the topmast stay and the back one for the preventer stay. You may also notice the stop cleats have been fitted these are for the bobstay and bowsprit shroud collars to sit against. They were made from 1mm x1mm walnut and shaped once they were glued to the bowsprit, they were also pinned with 0.5mm dowels. .

Thank you Nigel The windows actually form part of a fan whose centre is somewhere miles above the model.The dimensions were taken from the plan,at least an average was obtained as there were minute discrepancies comparing each window on the drawing.This gave me the shape.The internal framework is purely by eye.It is easiest to fit the central bars and then visually split the remaining sections in half when fitting the other pieces.Had there been an even number of bars,it would have been interesting
