I also like David White articles Traditional Wooden Shipbuilding, but he didn't finished them. I believe the last article seem's to be missing, at least I believe it is. Those articles in Model Ship Wright opened up my eyes to what really was.

I've found the nine part series of Traditional Wooden Shipbuilding by David White to be very informative but even he doesn't seem to spend much time on the stern and quarter galleries.

Bitao have a question for you . Was wondering how you go about cutting the notches in to your beams and carling's? Very outstanding build you have and enjoy visiting and seeing how your coming along on her. Clearly shows the talent behind the building so keep up the very detail work. Brings a smile to my face ever time I see your update's. Gary

Alan there is a good article by John Franklin in Model ship Wright, HMS Egmont(74) 1768 41/4 and 42/29 that will give you some help on building your stern. I used his article's and David Anscherl such as Drawing Techniques for the Modeller and his 64 gun ship Polyphemus. If you don't have them let me know and I will copy them and send them to you. They always had such wonderful article's it a shame they stop producing them. Gary

Hi good folks. Have a friend who is trying to figure out what this Blue tool is in the picture and what it's called. I have seen it used but for the life of me can't figure out what's it called. Maybe I have seen it in one of my books some place. Look forward to finding out what it is and thank you in advance. Gary

So here’s a few shots in very dim light. I need to start using a real camera, this iPhone just doesn’t capture what it really looks like, they are much warmer and not nearly as bright as the camera shows. Very happy with the LED’s that I went with, this will display very well and lifelike when complete.

I proceed with the false bridge. The whole thing is treated with shellac and judea bitumen to give the model a somewhat lived-in look.

Hi No Idea. Just so the good folks don't run out and buy what you shown in https://www.foredom.net/product/a-69224-right-angle-attachment/ you also have to get the head piece which hold what you have shown in in the angle attachment. Those are just the collect's for holding the bits. Both items together will run you around $200 .https://www.foredom.net/product/2-angle-grinder-attachment/?attribute_pa_sku-handpiece=ak69110-no-handpiece Gary

garyshipwright got a reaction from FrankWouts in HMS Winchelsea 1764, by Gary B
Thanks guys. At the moment am working on the wales and once I have them cleaned up I paint them with a black dye. Figure painting them now before I add any more planking, would keep me from making a mess. Later will paint the gun ports red but have to figure out what shade of red would fit her time frame. So many shades to pick from, makes one head spin trying to get that just right. Again thank you guys. Gary
