Head rails again...

Head rails continue to take shape...
I have curved the cross bended strips from wallnut wood.

Working for the cranes of anchor and continuation to built head rails...
I don't like mahogany wood (the single one at the right) managed with wallnut wood. I made the supports of cranes with wallnut...

The pinnace...
Two pairs is better than one pair of oar...

I continue to update my log...
The installation of the lid of the gun port is not right I think according to many pictures at MSW.
It must be at the same plane with the hull and the frame of the lid must be inside as much as the thickness of the lid.
The cannons must be painted in black...
The lids have to be hinged...
Regards...

Thanks very much to all of you for your thoughts about my job... Those make me to feel very well...
I have affinity to see barrels on the deck. They look to me very characteristic and historical for period ships...
Regards...

I didn't like the doors made by copper, I have made them with walnut strips...

Cannons were burred, impure, I had to work on them. Rasp and sandpaper...
But I didn't like the color I have painted and I would change it to mat black I have seen at MSW.
Then some alteration on the damaged figure...
The lid (?) for cannon was protruding from the hull. From MSW it's not agreable. I would make them to be at the same plane with the hull...

Ferit got a reaction from Archi in Stairs on the hull planking and on the wale
Allan, thank you for your reply.
Yes I meant dimension "A"
At the drawing below, I don't see any problem when climbing from #1 to #2 and from #3 to #4 but from #2 to #3 there should be a trouble considering knee and foot position of the crew. It would be problematic even if you step from #1 to #2 because the position of the knee doesn't allow easily to do that due to contacting with #3.

Hi,
May I learn the solution. Which one is correct about the steps of a stair located outside of the hull?
1. The width of the all steps is to be kept in line: The width of a step on the hull planking is wider than the one on the wale.
2. The width of the all steps is same upon they are on the hull planking or on the wale (Doen't passing from the step on the hull planking to the one on the wale make climbing difficult?).

I'm not really interested in proving my own idea, I'm just trying to understand the logic in the background.

Thank you for your replies...
What I think is that the width of the wales may be negligible on some vessels... On some others they had avoided to fix steps on the wales...
But I want to learn your opinion about the stairs on the photo below... The width of the steps on the wales are narrow compared with the width of the others. Some steps of which the upper part fixed on the hull planking and the lower part on the wale are modified according to the gap...

IMO...
Usability must come before aesthetics... You don't want extra difficulty when working in too variable and difficult conditions. To keep all width in a line is more convenient than to make the width of all steps uniform.
Why have I to turn and return my body from hull to wale and vis versa instead of adjusting all steps (fixed to the hull as opposed to an unstable and mobile rope ladder) in a line?... It's not suitable for ergonomics... I don't think the engineers of that period had ignored this issue. I imagine an admiral or one of the upper rank sailors or a noble trying to climb a stair having irregular steps... 🙄
As Jud said; maybe they avoided fixing a step on a wale as far as possible...
If I understood correctly there is not a reliable and precise information about this issue.

Ferit reacted to md1400cs in Sovereign of the Seas 1637 by md1400cs - Sergal - 1:78 - to be hopefully bashed
Hello,
Alex-Ks1 -- big thanks
Here are some updated images of the continuing work with the stern gallery outer faces. I like how the outer windows turned out. Certainly more historically accurate (haha – this kit has nothing to do with historical accuracy).. though I am a bit regretful, in that all of the previous work (interior floorings, gold trimming on upper and lower inner window frames, and gallery planking are now totally hidden from view - oh well.
FYI: Last image offers a comparison of current kit's metal bit compared to vintage kit's solid bronze bits.
Regards,

I continue with another window, 5 walnut strips glued together, two of them are narrow than others, again credit card's plastic, the shiny black plastic of the back of the CD cover for glass. Then all is painted in the same way.
I don't like the window provided by the kit.

Handrails were finished.
I don't like the windows from the kit and made them from plastic of my credit cards. The glass made from the back (bright black) of CD cover, then painted with gold metalic spray, became old with diluted black paint and clear varnished...
