Hello,
it is done, the rails are ready. That was more work then expected and not so easy to do. The next things at my list, are the supporter knees for the cathead

Hello,
it is done! The rails are now hard and fast. Now are only the short stanchions at the end of the upper rails and the painted covers for the stanchions left.

Hi No Idea. I believe that the small blocks are to help keep the gammoning cable from sliding down on the bowsprit. Believe that the small blocks are called the gammoning cleat's. Gary

Thought I would add some close up photo's of Montague. I was on the NRG site and came across the article by Kurt on taking photo's of ones work and figure I needed to practice a bit. Guess I have to find a little space for a photo booth when taking good photo's of my ship. Well guys one day maybe I get the hang of taking good photo's, hope you enjoy the close up. Gary

I love the smell of automotive lacquer in the morning. It smells like... like victory!

garyshipwright reacted to Bob Cleek in Polyurethane vs Lacquer vs Shellac
This isn't any sort of contest between polyurethane and shellac. I'm not denigrating any particular finishing option, as I thought I made quite clear in my post. It was my intent to simply outline the differences between the two. I have no investment the choices anybody makes when finishing a model. As I said, "It's all just a matter of taste." I am sorry that I apparently touched a nerve of some sort. That was neither intended nor expected.

garyshipwright got a reaction from GrandpaPhil in HMS Bellerophon 1786 by AON – scale 1:64 – 74-gun 3rd Rate Man of War - Arrogant-Class
Alan just a queston good sir. Why not remove the transom you have fitted and fit the counter timber's first then install the transom to fit them. I made all of my stern timber's first and then fitted the transom. Take the stern timbers in shape and using rubber cement or Pva which ever you choose to glue them all to each other with thin pieces of balsa wood in between the pieces and then sand all of them down at one time. Mark them out with numbers from right to left and reinstall them in order. I found this so much easier fitting the stern timbers first then the transom. there is a whole lot more stern timbers then transom that's for sure. Hope this help's you.
