I count 6 stanchions behind the helm house in the photo. I have 6 stanchions. The helm house is 8 scale ft tall, 1/8” per ft. sometimes scaling can be difficult, plus Its looking different , but it will all come together. Thanks for paying attention. Rob

Thank. Right, She has so much to model. I plan on doing the houses right. With lots of paneling. I got the original drawing from Mike of the front of the carriage house. Along With yours I will do my best to be faithful to her builder Rob

Worked for a little time on the carriage house and helm. stained the roofs an will continue to add paneling and moldings and the doors and windows. Rob

Yeah. Glory got her helm house extended and it expanded the gap that was there prior and extended up and on top of the aft house to include the older access entry that existed there. Plus a couple of windows were added forward to aid the helmsman. It will become clearer as I add more details. Thanks for looking in. Rob

I’m like you, hand work carries a “feeling” that laser machine work can never replicate. Rob

As she started model and as she entered her last active years model...before she was destroyed by salmon loving pirates...... Rob

In all evidenced images it appears flush, or at least the moldings and trim work is the only items NOT flush. Like on any normal home. Rob

Looks wonderful George. The modified technique expedited what would have been a much longer, arduous process. One which you tackled and accomplished very well. Great job. One small project down.....another awaits. Rob
-
Those nameboards are fantastic Vlad.......... Great job! Rob

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. Rob

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
