Beautiful work on the pintles. Those arachnids sure are out of practice - may need to send them out for an apprenticeship!
-
Thanks, Salty. Your numbers for the Ranger match mine. Note the plans and the manual are at different scales in the kit.. my deck was slightly off when matched to the plans. Those perimeter thingies are I think the bulwarks. I like your style!

Bingo, Danny. A grand ole' gal that served well for more than 80 years.

No, sorry, not the Eppleton Hall.

Let's try this one on for size....

Wow - Found the original picture as well! You are correct, Kevin. It is the Stavros S Niarchos in my post. Your turn!
-
Hmmmm...wonder what else smells funny around here!
-
Wow! I was just looking at the basic shape and arrangement! Dang! Okay - try this one!
-
Dang - those are some harsh critics! Probably still upset they aren't going on a cruise, like "some" people...

She is looking absolutely fantastic, Augie. "You Know Who" should be pleased to see some pictures as well! Don't you just love the weather? Sunny and 79 F here today...

You may also be able to work from the hull templates for some of the bulkheads. Depending upon how many are provided, you may need to interpolate using the lines drawings to fill in gaps.

Wrong color scheme, but almost looks like a USCG Hamilton Class Cutter!

Take your time and make it the way you want, Sjors - it is a beautiful model! We can wait for pictures....

Thanks, Keith, Jerry, Adrieke, Anja, John and Sarah. I got the chainplates for the port side made last night - with any luck I can install them tonight. Of course, if I do that, I loose my excuse for not getting the main mast stepped and rigged.... Jerry - I think that, given a choice, I would take Naples over Fayetteville most of the year. Thanks for stopping by!

Very nice work, Sir. Enjoying this build!
-
Dang - that's a bigger difference than I would have thunk! Wonder if the actual Dallas was a larger plan (Doughty had 3 - 30, 51 & 74 ton if memory serves).
-
Wow - you got out of that one, Andy! Lesson learned - be vewy vewy nice to those wabbits. they command large ships of war! Kevin - awesome on the weight loss, sir! And well done on the Victory as well!!!

No Problem. I was surprised Marquardt didn't have any - his 18th Century Rigs & Rigging book has a plethora of that type of information!
-
Lavery has some pretty good tables in his Susan B. Constant. I did not locate any in Marquardt's Endeavor.
-
Looks good, Jared. I think if you want to step up the realism then this is a good start.
-
That is an amazing piece of work, Sarah - Congratulations!
-
Superb work, Adrieke. The stairways and rails came out beautifully!
