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.

Cheers Guys,
As it happens in the past week, I have received my printed pictorial build album.
I have done one of these for all my builds, it is a shame not to use all those build photos and record those internal details lost from view.
A few pages to give a flavour.

Thanks Jaager. Do you know which monographs they were. I have a number of them which I just may go take a look in. Looks like you done your research and thank you very much for the info. Am trying to get colors that are right or least very very close to what was used. Seems there is a lot of them to choose from which lead's to getting the wrong color. Thank you again. Gary

Hi Chris. Just a question good sir. I know you been doing this ship building and making kit's for quite awhile and you have my utmost respect, but was wondering why these color's? You must of done a lot of research on what color's to use but curious mind's at least mine, was wondering why these. I have not really been into painting my ships and just go with the natural wood but am building Chuck's Winchelsea which there are items that need to be painted which is why am asking about your color's. Thank you. Gary

Thanks Glenn you are so right. Only 4 month's left to go according to you time frame. I know only kidding. Spent a month putting on planks just to turn around and take all that was installed off in 15 minutes. Wonder if that set the record for the fastest time in removing planks. Ok Just kidding😉 Am having a good time and that's what count's. Gary

Thanks Greg and Ben. One thing is for sure planking her is a little bit of a long process. Of course I start at the 2nd plank below the wale and got the first belt planked on both side's and when you would look at it head on it just was not up to par, kind of bumpy so I tore it all off back up to the wale and figure it couldn't hurt to start at the keel this time. Also I was going to plank her lower hull in Holly but the gray kept showing up, and just wasn't happy with it, so am planking her in boxwood. Also got myself a new propotional divider to help with the planking and using it is really making a big difference with marking out the planks instead of tick strips. My first divider, used it for years that is until the tighten nut strip out and couldn't find a new one. O well one has to do what one has to do.
