Thanks Rich, there is so much more to still do......by way of adding all the panels(Parameter and face) , windows and doors. Once this portion is finished I will add the helm to it. Still need to chamfer the house to the deck as well The real trick will come when aligning the mizzen mast hole to the one in the poop deck to attain the proper rake🥺 Rob

I spent some time thinking about our builds and it is as if they were made from the same kit...following the same plan......OH....but wait.....they are. 😎. There will be slight changes..there always are...even in kit built models.....something to do with the builders perceptions and personal likes....or skills. What a great adventure....we are paving.

Here are some comparison images of our (mine and Vlad’s) versions……his 1/72 and my 1/96 version. Looks like we are on the same page for sure. Images were taken when the builds were at about the same stage for each model……though mine is further along. It’s amazing how the study and research has paid off. Rob

I worked on the aft cabin today. Here is the beginning, starting with an image of the rail and deck. Rob

Beautiful. However, if you look at the pic of the aft cabin, you can see men working on the port side right at the beginning of the rail. The man leaning on the side of the roof edge appears to be about 5/8, so that puts his rump resting against the edge at about 3’ish. I place the roof at about the height of the outer rail, or close to it. Your thoughts? Plus there are 4 rings on the steps up to the poop. Rob

Sweet....You made the transfers work....Wonderful! You're doing a bag-up job Vlad...great work. The hardest part for me was making sure the end of the hood had a nice roll to it as it entered the hull and terminated....I rolled the brass around a small dowel to form it. Those hoods were not easy...to make with all their weird angles and curves. You did great. I love the progress updates. Rob

Beautiful Rich. I still wish I could reconcile those door knobs...for sliding doors......if in fact they slide from center to outboard? Rob

Rich...wouldn't it be amazing if such an article would be written to update historical records to demonstrate through newly found imagery(Made public) and through newly constructed models that Glory may fine her due place in history and the living conscience of the public at large? It could be an historical update and published in and for Nautical Research Journal. Fascinating proposition. Rob

I try to plan out each mini project and building the aft cabin would have been easier without the rail in place. I just have to be more careful is all. Rob

Thanks Rich. As you recall….I made those boogers months ago. The slight cant is to permit unrestricted passing of the shrouds and their lanyards up toward the mizzenmast tops. As the stanchions pass the shrouds they begin to plumb up and go around the stern where they, again , cant inward behind the shrouds. Now, onto the cabin. Rob
-
Thanks Vlad. Those stanchions are about 3/16” tall. Sweeehu. Tint stuff. Rob
-
Well I went against my own judgment and I opted to go ahead and finish up the aft railing. I will add the iron bar rail at the head next. I got called away. Rob

Great job Vlad...but I hate to point out this but the trim on the hood is double lobe on the top and triple lobe on the bottom. The top trim matches the trim of the plankshear. Love your sub-deck work..wonderful. Rob
-
I think I can see them...but my images are not that good. Rob
-
Right...you're talking about the brackets that supported the original wheelhouse roof overhang? Good observation.....I need to find that in an image if it is possible. Rob
-
Nice to see we are on the same track.....in different scales. Wonderful. Rob

I'm still certain there is ornamental bracketing on either side of the overhang....it only makes sense and would be in the context of the overall architecture and design of the building. IMV. Rob

Thanks so much Arina....it is a real labor of love. So many of us are really putting in the time to make sure she is as accurate as possible. It is funny to think how this entire process evolved and how the right people came together with a similar passion. All of us standing in the wake of what Mike began so many years ago. Tell him we are getting along. Rob

Yes....I'm not so sure the windows had a complete round top...it's all guess work from here....but curved can be an issue for craftsmen...since all other windows are square....I think adding them or not will not break the bank IMV. Rob

I'm still curious about the doors Rich. If they swing, as Mike portrays...they are laying too flat against the house wall to be fully natural. But the presence of a door knob on the left of the door is very peculiar. that indicates the door is swung open fully...but the door appears to be wider then the opening for it. However, that opening is blocked by the machine structure in the foreground. Looking at the door frame to the right....in the same picture shows the door frame in relations to the window next to it. Suggesting the open doors entry is wide enough but is simply blocked from view as stated earlier. Back to the door......other images show sliding doors on the fore cabin and on the boys cabin....it would seam continuity would be in order and that the aft cabin doors would be sliders as well. The base edge of the door gives an indication that the door is a push, then slide to the right(from inside) style door. but that nasty door knob throws a wrench in the idea of a sliding door. Quite confusing for sure. Evidence leads us in several directions, without giving us truly any concrete answers. So if the doors swing out....and that is indeed the door knob...the doors swing out to the right and we are looking at the paneling of the inside of the door. Which is mimicking the paneling of the outside of the door.🤪. Looks like more artistic license is in store. Rob

Great drawings Rich, but there are actually only 9 stanchions across the front not 10. The images you posted show this clearly. However, you windows and doors and the recessed panel work is super and I will try to incorporate these drawings in my impression and build. Rob
