garyshipwright got a reaction from mtaylor in HMS Bellona 1760 by SJSoane - Scale 1:64 - English 74-gun - as designed
Mark I believed they were called the bolster piece's, at least that is what is listed in Falconer Dictionary. Steel calls them anchor lining, solid pieces of oak, bolted to the ships side. . Pieces of oak timber fayed to the curvature of the bow under the holes down upon the upper cheek, or solidly between the cheeks to prevent the cable from rubbing against the cheeks. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Gary

Hi Mark. Here is a couple of photo's of the cheeks and they items made for them. Its been awhile since I made them but believe I used a piece of curved wood to get the right curve on them using a heat gun after putting water on them. Hope it help's Gary

Hi Chris. I know you posted that you will be doing her in 1/64 but what about 1/48? Would make a heck of a nice model that's for sure. Gary

Well Greg, you and David have once again done another outstanding job and a very beautiful model and a nice set of book's on top of that. You two should be very proud of her and your accomplishments. What's next for you guys in the future? Gary

garyshipwright got a reaction from KentM in HMS Pegasus 1776 by Trussben - 1:48 - Swan-class sloop based on TFFM
Hi Toni. When you look at the other plan of Pegasus mast partners, the aft end goes all the way across the beam and the forward end goes what looks to me 95 percent across the forward beam. At least that's what I see. Maybe David or Greg will charm in and set me straight . I do have the deck plan of the Fly and was going to add a photo of that deck but the battery is dead so might be able to post one later. From what I can tell is they are all just a little different, which led's me to believe that how it was done probably had some to do with what ship yard it was built in. Gary
