Thanks for all the likes everybody! Here is the stern mock-up including my stern light design and the lower counter, really starting to come together now!

After a few experiments and four different versions, here is my final Tafrail that I managed to get the garland carvings into the outer coves just like the Pegasus draft, I also “textured” the coves like the draft.

Lower counter has been planked and the rudder hole filed to final shape using the actual rudder to make sure it has the correct clearances. I added the carving from the Pegasus draft into the middle coving of the Taffrail but the ones in the outer coves will just be textured as they are too small for me to make very easily.

Looks great Chuck, makes sense to only use an as such simple scarph joint instead of full chocks for a much easier frame construction, will make the angled cant frames much easier as you won’t need angled chocks either.

Thanks Everybody for the comments and likes. I will give that a go and see what it lt looks like David.

I finished blending in the Rudderhead framing to the stern and then started mocking up the upper counter and stern light layout - still needs tweaking.

Framing around the rudderhead underway, you can see the 3 pieces roughly shaped and trial fitted here, the hole for the rudders shape will be finished after they are installed. Druxey - no CNC parts to be found here! All hand made.

My other thought would be to laminate two or three thinner pieces and make a form to bend them around, at least that's what I will try if using these proves too fragile.

Looking good Chuck!

It’s just another Tool David! Here is the very difficult to make by hand Taffrail capping piece, 1.5” thick by 8” deep, very very delicate pieces!

Started design work on the Taffrail, playing around with the CNC to see what details I can easily incorporate, here you can see two prototypes using the TFFM dimensions for thickness”s and the shape from my Pegasus draft.

Try some fine black thread and a dab of white glue, that’s what I mostly used.

Great to see you start the new model Chuck, I’m sure it will be a fantastic project and I look forward to building another of your designs.
-
Superb details - now you go back to planking for a while.

Nice to see you progress Chris. -
Thanks Chuck.

I started to get all the beams cleaned up and sized for each position.

Yep - nice to see somebody else lining off.

Good luck Bob.

Thanks Rusty!! I’m a long way behind you other guys but I usually get a little more modeling time during the winter.
