Morning Giampiero and thank you. I like the boxwood light color and wish I had built her gun deck with it but hindsight is 20 20. The pear does show up nicely. She does have a few different wood's in her and hope my son wil get some enjoyment out of her in the future. Once again thank you,. Thanks Bitao and Druxey. Glad you guys like her and hope to do even better on her in the future. Getting the lower deck some what done, it's giving me a push to get more done on her, that and having you guy's push me forward. I do get a lot of enjoyment out of looking at her, and thanks again.

Part of the issue here is folk like Gary and myself giving you instructions from the cheap seats! Or is that the cheap sholes?

Towers are ready. The windows are missing and some details. This will be done later.
The sharp edges where the klinker are connected are not very exact, but I didn't care since the sculptures are going to cover this areas.
The whole system is like LEGO - it can be disassembled in order to paint the parts later separately. Also the other parts on the side galleries can be removed. This will be shown later.

garyshipwright reacted to DocBlake in Granado 1742 by DocBlake - FINISHED - 1:32 Scale - Bomb Vessel Cross-Section
Thanks for your input, guys! I made a decision!
I finished planking the bulwarks except for the plank sheers. This was done in boxwood, including the black strake. The upper and lowers wales are ebony. I chose to make the center "filling wale" out of boxwood for the contrast. In the AOTS series, both HMS Blandford and Royal Yacht Caroline have this arrangement for the wales. I decided not to use hooked scarf joint on the ebony wales since they wouldn't show up well. The filling wale joints are typically butt joints but I took some license and made a couple of hook scarfs: one on each side.
I cut some holly planking and dyed it an aqua/turquoise blue. I used Transfast water soluble dye so I could glue the planks without worrying if the glue would hold. Do you guys like the look, or is it "too much" for a natural wood model? I'm not committed to anything yet. Those planks are just sitting there!

Internal Counter Planking and Lockers.
Either side of the Rudder Trunk.
A beam, triangular in profile,forms the straight edge for the lids and their hinges. I used a 4.5mm sq. blank, and sanded and scraped to shape. (Should have used a plane as it would have been easier.)
Ensuring it is horizontal, at right angles to an imagined central line, top surface horizontal and lining up with its counterpart,while balancing on the curve of the counter timber, was not easy, but essential
Perhaps fitting a plank first, would have made this easier.
Anyway, “holding” with the PVA glue half dried and sticky, I managed after much frustrating fiddling.
The locker front panel sits (athwartship) atop the deck planking. Its height is such that the lid, flush to the beam, sits on its top edge.
Between the lids, in front of the Rudder Trunk, is a filler panel.
There are also filler panels between the lids and hull. I made these next, but now realise it would be easier to make them after the lids are fitted.
Hinges adapted from leftover port lid hinges from an old kit.
(interesting that the wood of the lids look different although cut from the same piece with the grain in the same direction but fitted upside down.Without lacquer and photo, they looked the same.)
