Thanks mark and Druxey, I have already done the curse and repeat a few times, the last version I did with card and still got the wrong angle and I'm struggling with the angle for the last window that goes against the hull, anyway onto the next version Regards Paul
-
Struggling with the gallery windows, getting the geometry right is proving to be extremely difficult, many discarded versions can be seen below Added a few quarterdeck beams, amazing how it starts to look more like a boat when you add some bits Thanks for all the likes guys Regards Paul

Hi John Nice work on the planking, apparently it is called joggling and there were two shipwrights rules regarding this 1. The square end of the joggled plank must be half the width of the plank 2. A plank must be joggled when the snipe is more than twice the width of the plank, the snipe being the diagonal cut across the width of the plank made to fit it into an angle hope you didn't get to stung on the customs charges Regards Paul

Lovely work, I thought that was a real boat when I saw the first pictures of the deck above Regards Paul
-
Very nice work Michael, don't forget the limber boards were only a couple of feet long with holes in so they could be lifted out to clear underneath not full length as you are showing currently Regards Paul

Superglue the cut, hold for five minutes by the clock ha, then try and get your fingers apart Actually I think he meant hold for five minutes to stop bleeding, no glue lol Regards Paul

sorry mark it would have helped if I had put that in the post, they are from ebay and amazon, quite reasonably priced, they also do some ratchet models as well, very useful and have quite a reach. Wolfcraft 3633000 pointed spring clamp MT 70 regards Paul on my Sirius I actually did it like Greg suggests above at the bow and used these clamps along the sides, although I didn't have decks in the way at the time
-
I fell for that one as well, became very expensive after importing regards paul
-
Hi mark You could get some long clamps like this one that would reach from above with the clamps you have. also the ends come of those quick grip clamps that you have and you could slip them through the frames reattach the end inside and then close up to squeeze to the frames
-
Presumably you could clamp against them as well when doing the planking etc, good thinking Regards Paul
-
Great idea with the notched strips at the top to keep it all lined up chuck Nice work Regards Paul

The life preservers of the time I believe we're not actually used on ships but on the land and thrown out to people in the sea during shipwrecks of the coast, there was recently a series on the BBC about shipwrecks and one of the episodes was on lifesavers that we're being invented at the time, they then moved onto the ships themselves when companies like Lloyds got involved and started setting up rules and regulations for all ships to protect life ( and insurance claims) Regards Paul
